This is for all the fashion divas. Karina's elder sisters are also in this.

The story/theme sounds a little like the movie The Devil Wears Prada.

I was thinking the exact thing. It also reminds my of a K-drama that recently aired called Style http://wiki.d-addicts.com/Style

Wasn't Style also adapted from an old Jdrama?

No, Style (k-drama) was adapted directly from the novel The Devil Wears Prada. Although I don't think they ever came out and officially said the show was influenced by the novel, probably to avoid paying any sort of fee. But everyone knew where the story came from.

^yep
There is a drama called Style though: http://jdorama.com/drama.520.htm

It's fun but it's about a bunch of personal shoppers in a departement store.

Watched it over lunch - not all but 3/4 - I thought it was somewhat boring and unoriginal (Ugly Betty, Devil wears Prada come to mind) - ugly duckling gets a re-style and starts to change ... evil boss.
Has potential but needs depth.

That's what I figured the story/plot would be...

Hopefully, the performances will make this recycle job work.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Karina is really pretty, but I will probably wait for more feedback for the series before deciding to watch or not.

In the first 2 or 3 episode, no matter what Karina wear, she can not cover her perfect body. . . . . Like her
