About The Fabulous
The Fabulous is a 2022 South Korean romance drama released on Netflix that follows four friends in their late twenties as they chase careers and love inside Seoul's relentless, high-pressure fashion industry. Across eight episodes the series tracks the daily grind of launches, photo shoots, and brand politics, where ambition and personal relationships constantly collide and every glamorous surface hides exhausting labor underneath.
PR specialist Pyo Ji-eun and her longtime friend Ji Woo-min, a quietly talented retoucher and aspiring photographer, anchor the story as their easy friendship begins tilting toward something more complicated. Surrounding them is a tight circle that includes an established designer and a freelance stylist, and the group leans on one another to survive the burnout, breakups, and creative compromises that the industry demands.
Stylish and warm without losing its bite, the show frames the fashion world as both a dream and a pressure cooker, asking how much of yourself you can spend on a career before the people you love quietly pay the bill. With glossy styling, a buoyant soundtrack, and grounded performances, The Fabulous lands as a clean modern rom-com about chosen family, professional reinvention, and the cost of wanting it all at once.
