If you weren’t in love with Park Shin-Hye before you will after.
I am kind of stuck between an 8.5 and a 9 for this one... since some points make me not quite want to give it a nine but it’s also better than an 8.5... I’ll stick with 9 for now, since in the end I really really enjoyed watching this, despite the few things that bothered me.Cast:
I have always been quite a fan of Park Shin-Hye which makes me kind of sad I did not watch this sooner, since, to me, this might have been one of her best performances, I have seen so far. She showed so many different facets in this one and nailed each one of them. This Drama is definitely not one you should take 100% seriously, she managed to mix seriousness and believability with fun and entertainment so well. Idk I might have fallen in love with her now.
The rest of the cast was also nice, except for the second female lead’s weird eye thing (which is probably nothing she can control so no shame) everything fit really nice.
I had a few doubts about the male lead at first, since he did not really look the part for me at first, however I really grew to love him, especially since his smile was so extremely beautiful, which made the rare moments when his character smiled a thousand times more special.
Story/characters:
This started off so beautifully entertaining, it had me laughing from the first episode and luckily it kept this humour throughout the entire Drama. The storyline itself is vastly unrealistic, but that was absolutely fine since it fit the Drama perfectly.
I loved how the feelings between the two leads developed, and even though it all progressed rather slowly I did not get bored and for the most part it did not feel stretched at all. There were so many cute moments.
We had our typical Drama, caused by the typical reasons, however I did not feel as frustrated with it all as I did in other Dramas, since the characters reacted to the Drama quite reasonable/well (under the circumstances), I did not feel like crashing my head into a wall.
There was a good amount of evil, however not an inhuman amount.
The only thing that I did not like story wise was the ending and the episodes leading up to it. To me that part felt a little too stretched, especially in comparison to how short the ending was. It would have been fine if they’d added one more episode showing what happens after, to give us some time to enjoy the couple and their happiness. This is the main reason I have deducted one point from my rating. The other reason is that there we’re some small scenes that weren’t quite logical (In terms of consistency within the storyline).
I also want to point out how much I loved every single character in this Drama. We had so many different characters that had so many different sides to them, I absolutely loved it. I will point out my personal favourite which is one of the male side characters, his character literally felt like you took a person from the real world and stuck him into the Drama. If Drama characters (due to being Drama characters) didn’t get obvious hints or situations, he’d always be the one who gets them, and then act like he didn’t like everyone else. I absolutely loved this.
The OST to me was kind of disappointing, considering this is a Drama playing within the music business... there we’re very little songs (2?) that just kept on repeating, and I personally didn’t really like both of them that much...
All in all, if you want something entertaining, sweet but also exciting, watch this one, I am almost sure you will not regret.

What a fine drama! "You are beautiful" followed a cult status in Korea after its weeks of airing, and even have its remakes after that. It has its hilarious moments and the music is so wonderful that my heart warmed by it. With its classic plot of a girl that has to pose as a boy due to reasons, and her falling for the male-lead during it.Shin-hye did a remarkable job playing as the innocent and gentle Mi-nyeo and even managed to pull of her twin-brother Minam in ep 15 so well that i crushed on him,haha!The arrogant male-lead and leader of the band A.N.Jell Hwang Tae-kyung was played by Jang Keun-suk who did a great job in showing the angst of a neglected son.I love the way he also adored Mi-nyeo, and the way he woos her without knowing. The others in the band (who also falls for Mi-nyeo) are the gentle Shin-woo and the bubbly Jeremy, no wonder many had second lead syndrome in this drama,because these guys are just golden!

Nostalgic memories of being 15 years old and diving into the world of kdramas
I feel like I almost can't rate this show because it is such a piece of nostalgia.I think You're Beautiful was one of the first kdramas that I really fell in love with and now 11 years later I am still an avid kdrama watcher.
I remember how CN Blue was newly formed and Jung Yong Hwa was an unknown and how much I loved Jang Geun Suk x Park Shin Hye in the drama, so much so that I was looking up news of them to see if they were a couple in real life. And this takes me back to memories of rewatching endless clips from the drama of Jeremy / Lee Hong Ki being absolutely adorable online, and downloading episodes onto my iTouch to watch away from the house.
I haven't watched this drama in years but I remember it with fond memories. Also I still remember the melody of the theme song 11 years later, so there's that. I feel like this rating is more how much my 15 year old self enjoyed the drama and not necessarily how I would rate it now.

И вот чего офигительно умеют делать дорамщики, так это в каждой серии ставить пару-тройку кульминационных моментов - с выдержанной паузой, крупными планами и "серпом по яйцам".

Primer kdrama
Este fue el primer kdrama que vi -en el 2015-, siempre tendrá un buen lugar en mi corazón, entiendo ya que es un drama un poco antiguo y tal vez para muchos verlo ahora sería complicado pero siento que es un clásico que todos deben de ver, Park Shin hye es una de mis actrices favoritas hasta hoy, me he visto todos sus dramas y lo seguiré haciendo; me gustaría que los nuevos dramas centrados en idols fueran populares.En general le recomendaré a todos este drama, ya que tiene buenas actuaciones, trama interesante, comedia y buenas canciones.

Más divertida y adorable de lo que imaginé
La trama gira en torno a una chica llamada Go Mi Nyu que creció en un convento y se preparó toda su vida para ser monja. Esta chica tiene un hermano gemelo llamado Go Mi Nam cuyo sueño es convertirse en cantante y de esa manera encontrar a su madre. Las cosas se complican cuando a Go Mi Nam le ofrecen unirse a A.N.JELL (una banda muy popular) justo en un momento en el que no puede ir, por lo que su representante le pide a su gemela que lo reemplace. De esta manera, uno a uno los miembros de A.N.JELL se van enamorando del nuevo, pero... ¿saben que es una chica?Sinceramente empecé a ver este dorama con cero expectativas, pensando que sería un "consumo irónico" y ya, pero me terminó encantando. A ver, sí es una boludez, eso es innegable, pero la trama es súper divertida y es imposible no encariñarse con los personajes (les juro que cuando lo terminé me dolió porque no iba a poder verlos más ?).
Es una serie viejita y se nota, pero creo que eso ayuda a que sea más divertida. Los peinados, la ropa, el maquillaje... lit que todavía no lo supero ?. Hay muchas escenas bizarrísimas que me sacaron más de una carcajada (sobre todo cuando algún personaje imaginaba posibles escenarios en base a una misma situación).
Puede que sea cliché y exagerada, que la prota no pase por un chico ni de casualidad, que los conflictos sean tontos y que el prota masculino haga unos gestos muy divertidos con la boca, pero yo la disfruté un montón y se las súper recomiendo. Además la banda sonora es pegadiza y eso es un plus.
Ojo, si la ven que sea en plan "quiero distraerme y reírme un rato", no esperen una obra maestra porque no la van a encontrar. Aviso por las dudas(?
¿Saben qué es curioso? ¡Soy 100% #TeamProta! Sí, ni yo lo puedo creer. El second lead al principio me parecía demasiado pasivo y después demasiado intenso e insistente, no sé, cosas. Puede que el protagonista sea el típico tsundere, pero me terminó comprando y no me da vergüenza admitirlo(?
PD: Quiero un conejo-cerdo en mi vida ?

Un gran comienzo
El primer k-drama donde conocí a Jang Keun Suk, y ya no dejé de ver todo en lo que aparece. La serie es divertida, entretenida y tiene hermosos momentos tanto románticos como dramáticos (en más de uno lloré). Todos los personajes tienen un gran desarrollo, y la banda sonora es alucinante. En general, me gustó muchísimo la química del grupo y como cada uno tiene su personalidad bien definida, sin por eso ser estereotipos andantes. Lo recomiendo mucho como primer serie de este estilo, y de sus adaptaciones, sólo vi la japonesa porque aparece Sukkie (Keun-Suk) en el capítulo 8.Was this review helpful to you?
