SEOUL, Dec. 22 (Yonhap) -- You must look beautiful even if you are tired to death, must present
eye-catching collection every season, and must know the trend even if you sleep less.

"The Fabulous" depicts the story of four friends, each working as marketer, photographer, designer, and model in a competitive fashion world, who become involved with a variety of people including stylist, editors, influences, eminent designer, and VIPs.
Choi Min-ho plays Ji Woo-min, a freelancer who does not let work or love distract him but only takes photos.
Earning the title "Passionate man" for being always so passionate, Choi said, "Ji Woo-min is a character who has everything except passion unlike me," adding, "Although he seems like he has no greed and goals, he changes when he meets warm-hearted and thoughtful Pyo Ji-eun."
He continued, "There are some provocative romantic scenes in the drama, but I hope my close friends do not watch it."
Actress Chae Soo-bin will play Pyo Ji-eun, the manager of a PR agency for luxury brand and also ex-girlfriend of Ji Woo-min, maintaining an ambiguous friendship that swings somewhere between friendship and romance with Choi.
"I could relate to failures that Pyo Ji-eun faces in her career, and I liked how she tries to overcome those challenges with her close friends and people she love," said Chae.
Another viewing point of the drama is fancy attractions equivalent to actual runway. World-wide experts such as designers, hair and makeup staffs, show directors, etc. participated in the making of the drama.
Along with the winner of Netflix designer survival program "Next in Fashion," Minju Kim, famous designers like Jaybaek Couture, Lee.y Lee.y, YCH, DOUCAN designed clothes, raising the quality of the fashion show.
Regarding the reason for the collaboration with Minju Kim, Producer Kim Jeong-hyeon said, "I thought her fashion displays unique colors which come from her small idea that is very Korean and Asian from her childhood."
Kim introduced the work, saying, "Sometimes true friendship is more needed than love and just like the proverb 'Joy is doubled and sadness is halved when shared,' the drama depicts friendship of leading characters who go through hardships together."
