The plot isn’t something to be wowed by. We’ve all seen it—the underdog trampled on by the more fortunate, the rich being a nasty group of people with no conscience. In TV everywhere, especially in K-dramas, there is no shortage of those kinds of characters.

The acting is well done, but there were no performances that particularly moved me. Everything was as it should have been—not too cringey, not too over the top. However, it wasn’t stale, either.

As for the writing, it’s not sloppy. There would have to be more complexity in order for a risk like that to be possible. Though I enjoyed the show visually, I couldn’t connect with any of the characters except Yoon Sihyeon. If you do decide to watch the show, make sure to be on the lookout for her.

Overall, Celebrity is typical in its format. We have the world of the rich which is filled to the brim with individuals who will stop at nothing to get their way, and then we have the main character who is different from the rest—determined to hold on to her morals and shield herself from the evil that awaits her.

If you’re looking for a light thriller without much depth, then this is the show for you. It doesn’t require you to think—instead, it allows you to sit back and watch events unfold as characters descend further into madness and others take advantage of that, securing their places on top.
