K-drama: You're Beautiful
I had been meaning to write a post about this drama for a few weeks but then I got sick so, I'm writing it now. ^^
You're Beautiful is one of my replacements for Sortilegio. And I love it!
It's a great drama and it makes me laugh too.
When I first read the summary about it, I thought the story sounded alot like a manga that I had read in the past, while also reminding me of the manhwa Chocolat. So, I really wanted to check it out.
I guess you could say it's a lot like Boys over Flower meets Hanakimi based on a Boyband. LOL.
Another reason why I was interested in this drama was because Park Shin Hye and Jang Geun Seuk were in the leading cast.
The last time I saw PSH was in Goong S, so it's nice to see her as the protagonist once again. Her character was so bad in Goong S. LOL.
And the last time I saw JGS was in Hong Gil Dong. He's still a hottie. X3
I didn't expect Go Mi Nyu to be a novice nun. That really surprised me but I also found that quite interesting. The fact that she was raised inside a convent gives her innocent and quirky personality some credibility. XD
Anyways, the storyline is about a nun-in-training who, one day, finds out that her twin brother, Go Mi Nam, has been admitted into a boyband. The only problem is that his manager suggested that he get some eye surgery before his debut but the surgery went wrong. So he's out of commission for at least a month until his surgery to fix the error gets done and he recovers.
This is where his twin sister comes into play.
The manager seeks out Gemma or Go Mi Nyu played by Park Shin Hye to take her brother's place. He needs her to meet up with the band and sign the contract so that her brother's dreams won't go falling to the wayside. Of course to do this, she has to dress up and pass herself off as a boy.
At first Gemma, isn't too sure about it all but when she remembers the reason Go Mi Nam wanted to be a popular singer was so that he would be able to find their mother, she eventually agrees to try and pull the whole thing off. To guard her secret, she has the manager and stylist to watch over her.
And that's when Go Mi Nam enters the life of A.N.Jell, becoming the 4th member of the group. The other members are Hwang Tae Gyung, Jeremy, and Kang Shin Woo.
Hwang Tae Gyung is the stoic leader of the group. He has a bit of a temperament. Tae Gyung often looks like he's mad, but he's actually a really nice guy. haha He doesn't get along with Go Mi Nam at first, but he eventually becomes the one she relies on the most in the group. It's funny seeing him become smug/pat himself on the back over things that he's done for her and then getting jealous when Shin Woo gets to her first.
Jeremy is just pure fun! He's so hilarious. His character reminds me alot of Nakatsu in Hanakimi because he's always freaking out about how Go Mi Nam is acting way too close to Tae Gyung and Shin Woo. But then, whenever he starts to develop feelings for her/him, Jeremy tries to deny it. LOL. He's so scared of being a homo. Then, there's Shin Woo. Shin Woo is awesome! He's the one who is the first to find out about Go Mi Nam's true identity and he's also her first friend in the group. He's always there to cheer her up. In fact, his character reminds me alot of Ji Hoo in Boys Over Flower. So sad, that he's destined to be broken-hearted. Yet, he's such a great guy. :____:
I especially like how this is a drama that follows the behind-the-scenes of a boyband. It's particularly interesting for those of us whom have ever followed an actual boyband in real-life. lol. I loved the part where Go Mi Nam has to memorize a bunch of idol groups and their members. haha, that was hilarious...Super Junior is a toughie afterall. LOL.
One of my favorite scenes so far: Ep2. Go Mi Nam putting out the fire with her spit in Hwang Tae Gyung's room. ROFL!!! That scene was priceless.
Also love the scene in a later episode where Kang Shin Woo acts as Go Mi Nam's guardian angel and helps her along her way as she wanders the streets of Seoul penniless. He's so nice to her. If this were a different drama, I'd be rooting for him and Go Mi Nam. hahahaa
