Lbech Satrey (2014)

Lbech Satrey (2014) | Lbech Satrey | ល្បិចស្ត្រី 126 ចប់ | Cheongdamdong Scandal (2014). Drama series depicts an epic scandal of the upper class that place in Cheongdam District, Seoul. An area which epitomizes the wealthy lifestyle.
The synopsis is wildly misleading, there was no global Korean high society scandal. Everything was confined to a small scale within the characters’ lives only. The synopsis is trying hard to sell it as a grand story on a big scale. Anyway, the drama left me utterly disillusioned, as it offered nothing but the same tired and rancid formula without a single redeeming quality to make it stand out. From the poor setup to the uninspired characters, it quickly unraveled with repetitive plotlines, and convenient coincidences that were a big stretch even for a makjang, lacking any semblance of originality or creativity. While some dramas manage to take familiar tropes and breathe new life into them, this one offered nothing but a bland and forgettable viewing experience. The cast members were average, doing what they can to get the drama to the finish line.
