Fashion King is a crazy, topsy turvy drama that makes no since. It is just a series of events that lead nowhere. There is no plot, no rhyme or reason, just one fiasco after another. The characters are all over the map. I don’t like a one dimensional character, but I do like consistency. I have read some reviews that this was suppose to show how big corporations can do whatever they want and get away with it, but I still think it sucked.
Ga Young who I guess is suppose to be the main character in this so called drama has no expression and is NEVER happy. This girl could be given the world on a silver platter and she would still have a problem with something. Ga Young should have left all these people behind and stood up for herself and her talent and made her own way. Or at least admit that she was actually in love with Jae Hyuk. I know she felt like she owed Young Gul something, but I don’t know if she loved him. Or maybe she loved them both. Who knows considering how wishy washy she is. I have never seen Shin Se Kyung in anything else so I don’t know if it is her acting or the writing of the character, but she is annoying.
Young Gul is just money hungry. I can’t blame him for wanting to be something more through his talent as a designer, but I think he gets carried away. I did think he treated people like crap by the end of this drama and I did think he ended up treating Ga Young like crap too, but I don’t blame his character for being frustrated with Ga Young. No matter what he does for her she is never happy. I thought that he might find happiness with AnNa, but I guess not. In the end I honestly don’t have a clue as to why he did anything that he did. I won't give away the ending....just want to add that if you like this character while watching this drama, then you are going to be ticked off. Fair warning!!! I have seen Yoo Ah In acting in another drama and a movie, so I know he can act. I blame it all on the writing.
Jae Hyuk is all over the place. One minute he is this hateful jerk and the next he is a kind and sweet. Looking at his parents you can kind of understand why he is emotionally stunted. His father constantly beats the crap out of him and his mom is controlling. Again I don't want to give away the ending, but I say his mother did it. I feel sorry for him by the end of this drama. I’m actually kind of sad that he ends up with whom he ends up with (don’t want to spoil it for ya), because I don’t think she can make him happy. I haven’t see Lee Je Hoon in anything else, but I thought he did a great job playing Jae Hyuk. He is too cute and a really good actor.
AnNa is the only character that stays true to herself. I actually liked her character the best amongst all of them. She may have played a few dirty tricks, but I still liked her better than Ga Young. I was routing for her through pretty much the whole drama. She is possibly the only one that will end up happy. I thought Yuri did a good job acting. I think this is only her second role, so she needs a little bit more experience, but overall did a good job.
The side characters were the best part of this whole drama…even the evil ones.
The ending to this drama is horrible and it is mainly the reason why I give it a 1. I am sorry that I ever watched this drama. I almost gave it a 10, because no matter how awful it was, I just kept watching it. However, I decided it was more like a car wreck that you can’t turn away from. I gave the acting a higher score because the guys did a really good job playing their messed up characters.
I think you know how I feel about rewatching this nightmare of a drama.
Of course, this is just my opinion. Watch it and decide for yourself. I have heard some people really liked it…even the ending.
