    This is a lovely drama.

    I would very much like to review it in its own right, i.e. without comparing it to the original Korean version, but I found out it's impossible for more than one reason. First, because the majority of those who loved You're Beautiful were biased towards this remake from the look of the actors alone and didn't even give it a chance; second, because ironically my having watched the original made me appreciate this version a lot more. Therefore, I'll set my usual policy aside and write a comparative review.

    Alrighty! So I absolutely love the original Korean drama, but I also absolutely loved Ikemen Desu Ne as well.

  • Ikemen Desu Ne is the Japanese remake of You're Beautiful. The great thing about it is that although it does have similar situations and concepts and follows the same basic storyline it isn't a carbon copy of the original. There are noticeable changes and situations that weren't in the original.

  • Basically the same plot. Girl dressing as a boy singer. He's the woman is old school but still very entertaining.
