10+ plot holes and 0 character development

I’ve always been skeptical of Netflix original series, as they often tend to miss the mark. So, going into this show with absolutely no expectations, I was pleasantly surprised to find it intriguing.

From the start, it was implied that Seo Ari was supposed to be dead. Then, one day, she went live on Instagram, leaving us questioning whether she was truly alive. I found myself most curious about the circumstances surrounding her alleged death, how she managed to survive, and the true identity of BBBFamous. These questions kept me motivated to watch until the end.

While I found the drama entertaining overall, it was riddled with plot holes, particularly toward the conclusion—issues I couldn’t simply overlook. The early episodes featured awkwardly obvious product placements that felt forced, making for some cringe-worthy montages.

Moreover, character development was sorely lacking. Sure, our female lead experienced a tiny bit of growth, but the other characters seemed far too preoccupied with their own lives and follower counts to undergo any meaningful transformation.

One of the aspects I disliked most about this drama was the excessive screaming, yelling, and throwing things at every opportunity. It wasn’t a makjang drama, so I found their overreactions puzzling. Chaehee, in particular, contributed significantly to the chaos with her incessant screaming and whining, which became extremely annoying.

I was genuinely surprised when it was revealed that Ari’s best friend was one of her haters. But what shocked me even more was Ari’s acceptance of her friend’s flimsy excuse. Unless Ari was a saint, this response made no sense. If I were in her shoes, I would feel hurt far more by her betrayal than by any hate comments from netizens, especially since she had an exclusive hate account dedicated to Ari. What a snake!

As for the romance between Ari and Joonkyung, it had so much potential, but since the focus of the drama wasn’t on romance, I couldn’t ask for much more.
