Glossy and intense, Celebrity strips away the glamour of influencer life by taking the allure of fame and weaving an entrancing mystery into it at the end of every episode. A-ri's climb to the top is paralleled by the secret of her supposed death and return, which she reveals through a live stream. With a large cast, the intrigue never fully wanes as these influencers grate the nerves while contributing to their own demise. The promise of learning about everyone's secrets and finally understanding how A-ri dies keeps you at the edge of your seat, even if the influencer angle feels cliche. 

The calmer performances by Lee Chung-ah, Lee Dong-gun, and Kang Min-hyuk excellently contrast the catty drama of these social media influencers. With snide remarks and immature behavior abound, their cooler demeanors give reprieve while hinting at the possibility of their sinister behavior. While their true colors are still hidden, the anticipation is high.
