‘The Fabulous’ will air on December 23 – two days before Christmas

Fans now have another K-drama to look forward to in December. Not only will fans get Money Heist: Korea Part 2, Singles Inferno Season 2, and Alchemy of Souls Season 2, but The Fabulous will make its grand debut. According to Netflix Korea, the K-drama will air on Dec. 23, a few days short of Christmas. The tweet reads, “In the fierce fashion world, young people who struggle and shine hotly. A story unfolds that will thrill you this winter.”

The K-drama initially postponed its press conference and premiere due to the Itaewon tragedy that resulted in the tragic deaths of over 150 people. The Fabulous joined a long list of television programs, award shows, and events that changed their airing schedule following the national mourning period.

But representatives of The Fabulous soon explained the Netflix K-drama would be postponed until further notice. Their reasoning explained the storyline opens with the main characters celebrating Halloween. The scene is integral to starting the K-drama’s storyline and introducing the characters. Editing the scene would be difficult as it would shift the entire plot and take some time to make the K-drama appropriate to air.

Fans have high hopes for the drama thanks to its impressive leading cast and premise. The story focuses on four friends in the fashion industry. Within the drama’s eight episodes, fans will see the character rely on friendship, dealing with the woes of romance and the pitfalls and rises of their stressful careers.

But he has lost his spark for his career. Woo-min also lacks enthusiasm for romance and love. Meanwhile, he is friends with Pyo Ji-eun, played by Chae Soo-bin. Ji-eun has achieved her childhood dream of working in fashion as the section chief of a luxury brand promotion agency.
