Fashion King (2012)

what sort of ending is this seriously, i watched this drama even though the events where too serious and too strong for me , you know it lacked drama really i didn't laugh, not even once , it had a series of misfortune and ... and people crying but i painfully endured it because the acting was good. and i love clothes, i even skipped scenes just so i could say what a good ending and "??!!" it ended like that, first this drama had repetitive situations therefore if they had made 16 episodes maybe they would have added a 17th ep just to end it well and it would have been better. aigoooo!! someone please remake this... i don't know what to call it and give it a meaning full ending. oho!

If it wasn't for the lead actors, this drama would get a 3 or below easily. If you've watched High Kick Through the Roof till the end, you'd understand what to expect with a drama from Shin Se Kyung who decided on the ending of that drama. That's not why this drama would get a score of 3 or below. The drama started off slowly and was suspenseful for about 4 episodes, then the pattern of unbelievable repetition set in. It was actually quite surprising in this manner just because just when you'd think that the plot was repeated too many times, they repeated it again.

Fortunately, when a story is written this way, you begin to see the true abilities of an actor and the range of their acting skills in being able to portray the same emotions in different ways. I believed Yoo Ah In was a great actor after seeing him in Sungkyunkwan Scandal in comparison to his real personality which I found to be completely different. In fact, he's the reason I watched this. He's not a bad actor, but after watching this, I found his facial expressions to be somewhat loud and over the top in comparison to Lee Jae Hoon's which gave a stronger impact without being too showy. This suited his character but made it unlikeable as well. Jung Jae Hyuk had one of the worst cases of second lead syndrome I've seen to date. His acting skills pushed him up to one of my top favorite actors ('top' because I have many favorites). As for the two girls, Shin Se Kyung was the same as she was in High Kick Through the Roof and Yu Ri was there. Yu Chae Young and Jang Mi Hee were excellent side actors.

Though some people were disappointed by the ending. I was okay with it (neither impressed nor disappointed). I did not need to know more. I was satisfied knowing it was the end and the the same thing would not repeat again. It took me a little longer to watch but I don't regret it nor think that I will watch it again.

The actors did better than I think most could with what was given to them. I enjoyed the nice scenery in many of the shots. I don't plan on recommending this show to others.

To start with, the story is promising. Two young people striving to make it in the fashion world. The acting was okay. I think I expected too much from the storyline thinking about fashion but it is actually more of revenge and greed for power.
I think the last two episodes are a disappointment and felt it was rushed. They should have tied some loose ends and came up with a better ending.
I know there's a lot of the viewers including myself that were not too happy with it.
Overall, won't re-watch this again. I wasted my time. Sorry writers...come up with a better story next time.
