Whoosh*** Where Stars Land ***
(2018 - Viki 32 0:30 eps)
[!!CW!! Synopsis & non-spoilery review.]
Incheon Airport's passenger service team has an enthusiastic, new employee & a stand-offish colleague who have to learn to get along. Great cast with Chae Soo Bin (When the Phone Rings) & Lee Je Hoon (Art of Negotiation) bringing great emotion to a plot that requires suspending disbelief (do they not know how magnets work?).
Something nefarious is happening with an executive, who happens to have a past with the ML. Unfortunately, the mystery, & back story lack details. But the relationships keep it interesting, with a couple of slow romances, & some people on the team learning their value. Seeing behind the scenes of the airport is fun. There is some character development even if the story seems lost at times. It's one of those that had potential & lost it.

Celebrity
(2023 Netflix, 12 45min eps)
Because the story, about social media influencers, deals with wealthy people, the costuming is gorgeous, as are the places & products they use. Netflix cinematography rises to the occasion.
It involved many characters with a lot of problems. Not enough time to develop that many characters. The 2nd FL, Lee Chung Ah, with great acting, was the only one with growth. The other actors were also good, but the story didn't give them an opportunity for growth. The main character's background didn't seem to match her current character.
Looking at the world of social influencers was interesting & disturbing. If you want to dwell on it, it brings up a lot of ethical problems. The corruption of the police by the wealthy was present here, along with a few other tropes. It did have some surprises & twists, which I enjoyed.
