xaharah May 24 2026 7:30 pm This drama makes me so interested about the main lead. SHS is really a great actress cause being SARAH KIM was reallyba challenging. A big hand for the directors and the writers the story was great.

Duke hyda May 12 2026 5:32 am Sorry to say this , I watched this series when it came out and it was just dry and boring , nothing to write home about,the female lead character was acting I know it all

I am Apr 25 2026 7:17 am Im trying to watch epi 1 and two, I find it slow, boring and uninteresting. Trying it to stay focused, hope it interest me in the coming episodes.

Chloe Apr 04 2026 7:42 am The Art of Sarah is such an accurate satire of the luxury obsession in Korea!!! Haha, I enjoyed the show to the fullest!!!

For those wondering, the "Boudoir" brand in the show seems to be a clever mix of two real-life cases.

First, the fraud aspect is clearly inspired by the 2006 Vincent & Co. scandal. Back then, a "phantom" brand claimed to be a century-old Swiss watchmaker favored by European royalty (even Princess Diana!). In reality, the watches were made of cheap parts in Korea and China. They even used a trick called the "import loop" - shipping goods to Switzerland and re-importing them just to get official customs papers to fool VIPs in Cheongdam-dong.

Second, the business model of "Boudoir" mirrors the "resurrection" of one Italian brand acquired by a tech Korean giant.

This big Korean company took a little old Italian leather goods shop and turned it into a "status ID card" for the elite by opening flagship stores in the most expensive parts of Gangnam and using heavy K-drama placements. I do not want to name the brand but you can google the most expensive Korean bag brand and you will easily fing it. Omg! Such a great drama! SHS never disappoints!!! ❤️

Russell Mar 28 2026 3:52 pm Dynamite! Don't miss this one, folks!

Emerald V Mar 21 2026 5:03 am It wasn't interesting until it got interesting. Overall, love this drama. <3

rusty greaves Mar 18 2026 6:02 am WOW a brilliant show.....superb acting, great directing and the script is very well done ....more shows like this should be made.....entertainment plus.

GunGlorySadending Mar 11 2026 2:31 am Nothing spectacular about this for me.

Geo kalfat Mar 08 2026 10:12 pm A masterpiece in intrigue and misdirection... Acting top notch... Watch it

soya Mar 08 2026 3:00 am Shin Hae Sun just never ever dissapoint. whole drama is 9.5/10 almost perfect. Been awhile since I can finish a whole drama in a day, only means it is that good. which is rare in 2026.

AK Mar 07 2026 11:43 am I watch it mainly because of Shin Hae Sun as the female lead. This actress fascinates me. She has a great charisma.

Jane Doe Mar 07 2026 3:40 am I first of all don't understand the concept of owning or obsessing on luxury brands. Especially handbags. Maybe it's part of high society fashion, but personally for me a bag is a convenient place where I keep few stuff when I go out of my house. So I never understood most part of this drama that was fueled on a consumer's need to own a luxury bag. But as an entrepreneur, Sarah Kim's approach was very interesting. The countless people she conned and used was ridiculous. She basically makes use of behavioral science. That part is what kept me hooked into this drama till the very end. The detective was playing, boring and lacked facial expressions and reactions. Maybe some other actor would've done a better job. It was hard to follow the investigation when he was delivering it with monotone.

Israa Mar 05 2026 12:21 am I had been waiting for this drama since summer, i don't usually watch series but i did because of Shin HyeSun she is amazing, a very good actress i love her

Matt Mar 04 2026 7:47 am So who stole the forensic specimen ?

Shinhaesunfans Mar 02 2026 2:20 pm I watch this because Shin Hae Sun as FL. I don't care others. Fighting SHS, love you from Indonesia...

Jillibean Mar 01 2026 7:22 pm I am watching this solely for Lee Jun Hyuk. The two female characters don't interest me at all. His character Does.

Jk Feb 27 2026 8:03 pm What's up with Netflix lately bro? The krunk, dear x, now this? Look when it comes to Korean actress my no 1 are either shin hae sun or park min young, cant choose between them but i can say I like shin hae sun more she is just that cute, and I usually don't complain about her drama even if I don't like it, and I'm not really complaining about this drama only tho, like I said your thriller lately lack 1 thing, satisfication, I only feel that in the glory, the ending of others seems like lack something, seems rushed, didn't bring satisfication, but hey it's thriller genre, still love shin hae sun in this tho, Is just get a better writer or producer or whatever it is

BANG SHIN WHOOP Feb 26 2026 2:44 pm She is 10/10 on hot crazy matrix

Cheryl Feb 22 2026 7:16 pm I enjoyed this drama. The pacing was good and the story was intriguing. The end, however was a bit lackluster and I can't help but wonder if it had more episodes it could have had better character and plot development, while also building some tension to the final story reveal. Most of the series was going back in time and showing Sarah Kim's life and the different experiences that got her to the present moment. Her story was captivating but gave little time for Lee Jun-Hyuk's character to have much of a story and he felt very much like a side character and not a lead, leaving him a bit one dimensional. His side kick, Shin Hyun-Seung seemed like he had an interesting back story and was charismatic but little was done with him, It always seems like wasted talent to me, to have such a great cast and do so little with them. It could have been a much more interesting story, imo, and while I did enjoy it and would recommend it, I believe it had potential to be better.

Bobby Feb 22 2026 2:19 pm It's such a good drama. But the ending makes no sense.

Spoiler*

The police can simply check who still has a pair of kidney and who is lacking one. Or police can ask the suspect to sew a bag. The cellulitis on the hands are also another evidence. So the ending doesn't make sense to me. Must be a plot hole. Nevertheless a good drama to watch for sure.

Kim Mi Jeong Feb 20 2026 8:45 pm I feel like Park Gyu Young should’ve played Kim Mi Jeong because from certain angles and makeup styles, they look so similar

JD Feb 20 2026 5:40 am I seriously annoyed with Kim Mi Jeong character. I felt like she is nothing but ungrateful bit** for what Sarah have done for her. And I agree with other people, the ending felt rush and messy. But again, Shin Hae Sun acting is what makes this serious worth it ?

Tililing Feb 17 2026 12:04 am Not really satisfied with the ending. But this is a great plot with many twists and turns.

Katy Feb 16 2026 8:56 pm So far so good love it. It gives me vibes of Anna Delvey ahhhhh!! Ifykyk

Rosalie Feb 16 2026 7:00 am Will not disappoint. Outstanding cast, great story!

Siksakso Feb 15 2026 9:48 am I need some elaboration on timeline. How come Sarah became a friend of Jeong Yeo Jin but also married to Hong Seong Shin. The timeline seems off

Your Own Feb 15 2026 7:43 am I badly need romance drama for Shin Hae Sun and Lee Jun Hyuk.

BillyBobThornton Feb 15 2026 6:51 am started off okay then turn into a boring mess

Mao Feb 15 2026 1:14 am If you're into mystery thrillers, this one's for you! It was well executed, no boring moments at all. I love how each episode we learn more about her and know nothing about her all together.

Shin Haesun and Lee Junhyuk's acting skills never disappoint. Their presence is already a good reason why you should watch this.

Rara Feb 14 2026 10:27 pm Not your typical thriller drama.

Rina Feb 14 2026 7:47 pm A very exciting show — I binge-watched it and loved the plot twist! Even though I wish it had a different ending, it was still very enjoyable to watch.

Sushi87 Feb 14 2026 2:39 pm This drama ia truly a work of art! Unique story and storytelling. Amazing actors. SHS cements herself as an A list actress. Didn't recognize the second lead in Can this Love Be Translated. She has a big future.

Jet Feb 14 2026 2:39 pm shin hye sun is finally and she delivered as she always does! my fave actress ?

Jade Feb 14 2026 9:27 am Interesting in the beginning but turned to be boring drama…

g Feb 14 2026 6:07 am ok now give the two main leads a romcom series!!!

Kdrama lover Feb 13 2026 7:50 pm Wow. Acting and script are absolutely A++. The series is a thrilling mash up of potential crime, police procedural, and a brilliant social commentary on people's obsession with luxury name items.

jim Feb 13 2026 2:57 pm The actors were superb. The storyline was interesting.

I just have a problem with ending. Should I say it was a perfect crime or there will be S2?

Morenikeji Feb 10 2026 12:50 pm Omg I can’t wait to have my fav actress on screen ?
