He is a betrayed assassin. She is a crossdressing nun who joins a boyband. Which one will win?

What am I talking about? It's almost October and that means IRIS and You're Beautiful are about to go head-to-head.

In one corner we have IRIS on KBS - a twisty thriller with an all-star cast which marks the return of superstar Lee Byung Hun back on small screen after 6 years. (!) Secret agents, assassins, forbidden love, total betrayal, and some

i have no doubt IRIS will be dominating the ratings for the next season of dramas. but, i will be watching You're Beautiful. i'm a sucker for the totally ridiculous. that and it's a dive into my kpop world =P

i hope it doesn't get too stupid, cause this is gonna be the first drama i will attempt to watch after the disaster of BOF. (i'm still so scared after that).

oh, and as a reply to a previous post you made in which i forgot to comment on, You're Beautiful does remind me a lot of Chocolat. there's another manhwa that was pretty much exactly like You're Beautiful: girl cross dresses as a boy to be in the band. and now that i'm trying to think back to it... i cannot remember the title to it for the life of me =S

It's Hong Sisters and they are much better writers than the insane person who wrote BOF. yay.

Gotta admit. I wasn't feeling "You're Beautiful' and then the teaser kind of put the final nail in the coffin. But I guess, the coffin was shabbily made because that trailer just totally reversed my views.

It looks effing adorable. There's room on my harddrive for both IRIS and You're Beautiful.

For real though. How cute were the interactions in the YB trailer? I'm sucker for teen, romantic comedy goodness.

[dangermousie]

They do look adorable.

I am definitely watching both - they are so fundamentally different in feel.

Also, Kim So Yeon is clearly HBIC.

[dangermousie]

Oh hell yeah.

Brand new teaser @KBS homepage:

*hyperventilates*

Also, seeing LBH being tortured or similar reminds me of another agent drama - Time between Dog and Wolf. Clearly, unless one is a masochist, I fail to understand the appeal of spying as a profession :)

I'm probably going to watch both, but OMG! Lee Byung-Hun in those promo clips!!! *salivates*

[dangermousie]

I know. My God!
