In-depth analysis of The Fabulous's characters
First, we look into the character of Ji Woo Min, played by SHINee's Choi Min Ho. He works as a freelance retoucher and a photographer in his life. Even after three years of break-up, he still has feelings for his ex-girlfriend, with whom he went to college. He is a man who has everything except passion, including looks, fashion sense, and ability and is a person who constantly worries and strives to find his dreams and love.
AdvertisementIn addition, his character was scheduled to show a complex and subtle love line that goes back and forth on a dangerous emotional line while remaining friends with Pyo Ji WEun (played by Chae Soo-bin), his ex-girlfriend, so the response to Choi Min Ho's youth romance that reflects reality is already extraordinary.
Next up is Chae Soo Bin's character. She plays the role of Pyo Ji Eun, who works as a public relations manager for one of the luxury brands. She is also the ex-girlfriend of Ji Woo Min and feels drawn to him every step of the way when there is a problem. He is always there to comfort her, and she feels connected with that. The two share a deep understanding with each other.
Their relationship is complex and keeps viewers hooked on what to expect next. On the career front, Chae Soo Bin's character is smart and has a dynamic approach to challenges in work life, which is full of uncertainty at each moment. She can be depicted as a perfect young adult who knows how to be proactive at her job but also takes out time to be with her friends and have some personal time. Her empathy and care for others shines through.
In the drama, Lee Sang Woon, who plays Joseph, runs the fashion brand. He is a fashion designer with a delicate artistic sensibility and pleasant charm. He has been working for a long time in the fashion world, rushing toward his dreams but sometimes getting hurt and falling. Ji Woo Min and Ye Seon Ho realistically portray the youth as they comfort each other.
Lee Sang Woon, through the character of Joseph, not only predicted a bright and lively character performance that had never been seen before but also, based on his excellent character interpretation ability, created a Joseph role that only Lee Sang Woon could pull off. It is said that Joseph himself perfectly showed off his synchronization.
Lastly, Park Hee Jung did a tremendous job in the role of Ye Seon Ho, a famous supermodel for top brands in the fashion industry. She is hailed as a role model and icon when it comes to runway walks. Having opened shows for prominent designers and brands, she is an inspiration for aspiring models who want to be as cool as her. But there's a side to her that is unknown to the fashion world. She is judged by her outward appearance and attitude, and no one cares enough to know the real her. She is a big advocate of loving herself and putting herself first before anybody.
