Chae Soo-bin, Min-ho
New Netflix drama The Fabulous has cast Chae Soo-bin (A Piece of Your Mind) and SHINEE’s Min-ho (Yumi’s Cells) as its leads. The romance drama is a “hyper-real” miniseries about youths in the fashion industry who are full of dreams and bursting with passion. Why does this synopsis suddenly give me Record of Youth vibes? (Hopefully it’ll be much better executed, and with a better storyline.)
Chae Soo-bin plays Pyo Ji-eun, who leads the marketing events department for a luxury brand. She’s always liked beautiful things and wanted a career in fashion, so she works hard to survive in this tough industry.
On the other hand, Min-ho plays Ji Woo-min, a freelance retoucher who has talent and handsomeness, but doesn’t have any passion. He’s not tied down to his romantic relationships or his work… although that may change as his ambiguous relationship with Pyo Ji-eun develops.
Directed by PD Kim Jung-hyun (Legal High, Hwayugi) and co-written by Kim Ji-hee (SF8: The Prayer) and Im Jin-seon, The Fabulous is expected to be released in 2024.
