I instantly fell in love with this drama like others have. Now I was iffy about watching a drama because I had never watched a drama from anywhere before. I didn't regret my choice to watch it though, I was pulled in by the storyline at first (Didn't know a lot of the parts I loved were K-drama cliches when I first watched it)
All the characters were well acted, though I do think Shin Hye's character was a bit too weak.
All the characters were believable honestly and I did find myself having a hard time choosing who I liked amongst the guys, I really liked all of them, though I'll gladly take shin woo out of all three.
It took me on an emotional roller coaster it had me crying in sadness, pity and happiness. it had me wanting to jump through the screen and punch the characters a couple times but.. most importantly it made me feel happy, it made me laugh and smile.
Watching this drama the characters became very close to my heart.
I got so absorbed in it the characters felt real in my heart so once it ended it was like I just had four amazing quirky sweet best friends taken away from me. So it hurt that it ended but I still really loved the ending.
The Music suited the scenes unlike some of the other dramas I've watched. It wasn't too repetitive, wasn't too quiet, wasn't too loud, it was just right.
I can rewatch it over and over and get the same amount of enjoyment out of it.
You know how things from your childhood you remember them feeling so magical and happy like something wonderful that can never be touched never be destroyed or soiled by human hands?
You're beautiful is like that, atleast to me. I hope it will be to you too.
So I think you all should give it a chance.
You're beautiful is well.. beautiful!

I must say at first i was sceptical about it. As I am about most popular things. But after this i started to trust peoples opinions.
Now, like I said its the first drama I watched. So my opinion isnt fresh. But maybe as a review its better this way.
Well lets start why I liked the drama then.
I liked the drama because the age between the main charachters and mine are close. It helped me feel more IN the drama.
Also Jung Yong Hwa is there. As a fan of C.N Blue I could get to even pause the drama .
The ending suprised me alot somehow.
Last reason why i like this drama is because i cant remember why I should like the drama.
So if you havent watched it. GO WATCH IT !

Uee was pretty good as the Korean sweetheart/villain. I had a bad case of second lead syndrome with Shin Woo. I think Yong Hwa and Shin Hye had such a nice chemistry plus his character was so sweet that it made so many people fall for his SLS charm. I mean compared to the maid lead's narcissist personality. I understand that Tae Kyung had other family drama, but with the regular pouts and guyliner, I was massively irritated with him.
This is my least liked drama of Hong sisters. Anyways the drama is still fun to watch. I realized I am biased towards the story because I did not like the main romance. But you can go and watch this very famous drama for good music and nice fun filled-angst-ridden ride.

So the plot for this isn't bad on paper. It's nothing new or inventive. what you read in the description is what you get. If you've been into drama's for any length of time you've probably seen a dozen shows with this same kind of plot.
The acting I would say is the high point int his series all the actors are doing there best embodying these characters well for good and for bad.
And this is where the problem comes in. The actors are doing a good job at embodying characters that I just could not stand. The two secondary band members were fine I kind of cared about them but they didn't have that much to do. The main couple I just could not stand. In the past I have liked these kind of characters, the jerk with a heart of gold who just need to open up and the naive girl who's gonna help him. Usually I'm on board for that kind of story but these two where just awful they had very little chemistry and I never believed that relationship not even for a second.
The music is fine but for a show that is focused on a band I was kind pf expecting better music.
tl;dr- The main couple is awful and it's a story that been done better in other shows go watch one of those and don't waste your time on this.

The series with moodiest ML in Kdrama history!!!
This is perhaps one of those standout kdramas that are so wrong and so right at the same time. I love everything about it, the cringe, the hilarity… everything just crazy great!!! Everyone is simply fantastic; the leads, the supporting actors, gosh even the extras are great. Definitely one of the most memorable watches ever! I don’t think i’m exaggerating when I say that this one is perhaps better than Boys Over Flowers and that one is hilarious as well.This is the finest example of how to pull off the cold exterior with warm interior man trope to perfection. I don’t think that I have ever seen another actor besides Jang Geun Suk pull it off so endearingly well. I know that in all great dramas the main leads go through a transformation, but not in this one. The 2FL is rotten to the core from start to finish and the same goes for everyone else in the show, no one goes through a character arc. The main leads fall in love but the FL remains nice and apologetic to the end and the ML is moody all the way to its last scene.

A Beautiful Story
10/10 is my rating. This is a 2009 South Korean television drama that ran for 16 episodes (~60 minutes/episode). The female lead, Ko Mi-Nyeo (Park Shin-Hye) is part of an orphaned nearly identical twin pair. Both grew up in an orphanage but then pursued very different paths, she studied to be a nun and the brother pursued a career in music. The brother, Ko Mi-Nam is about to realize his dream to be a Korean pop star after winning a vocal audition that gives him the right to join the Korean band, A.N.Jell. To prepare for his rise to fame he gets plastic surgery which is unfortunately botched to the point he has to have it re-done. Not wanting to miss his opportunity with A.N.Jell he works through his manager to convince his sister to stand in for him. She must pretend to be her brother for the month it will take for him to get new surgery and recover. Slowly "Min-Nam" starts to win over the band members and you get to see through her eyes the different aspect of each Kang Shin-Woo (Jung Yong-hwa) is very kind and gentle, Jeremy (Lee Hong-gi) is very happy and always looking to have fun and celebrate and Hwang Tae-kyung (Jang Keun-suk) is the arrogant lead singer who is the most difficult to win over.Spoiler 🚨 If you have seen the drama "Bromance" there are moments in this that are reminiscent of that. Embarrassing and cringy as you see how uncomfortable the characters are being attracted to someone that they think is a guy when they are heterosexual. There are some laugh out loud funny moments and I think I laughed more in this one than in the others I have watched thus far. I loved all of the characters in this and was sad when it ended because I so thoroughly loved the story and being immersed in the world. I enjoyed the music and looking it up after found that many of the lead characters are actually very talented, award winning, musicians. I enjoyed it the entire way through and it also ended well. This is in my top all time list and I will likely watch it again at some point.

"You were almost there... just one more step and you would have found me.""You're Beautiful" was my first Korean Drama and to this day I cannot find a single flaw in it. I just rewatched it for the first time in 10 years and it had the exact same effect on me as it did the first time. I laughed like crazy, I cried, I squealed, I shipped, I yelled, I sang along... I could honestly watch it again and again and again.
The story is quirky and catches your interest from the very first scene. The pacing is really great - there is not a single episode that feels like a filler.
I know the character of Go Mi Nam (or I guess I should say Go Min Nyu) is not for everyone. My sister, for example, can't stand her. Personally, I find her cute and funny. Hwang Tae Kyung is a jerk most of the time but he is never cruel and he reveals his softer side throughout the course of the drama. To this day, I still think this is Jang Geun Suk's best role. His face was made for a role like Tae Kyung's. He can show so many emotions with just his eyes alone.
However, Hongki (my first Korean love) and Yonghwa are the ones that deliver the most emotional and scarring scenes that always make me cry my eyes out. It's hard to decide whether I find Jeremy's or Shin Woo's emotional scenes more tragic - they are both devastating in their own way. I always root so hard for Shin Woo and get my heart broken all over again.
And the OST... the OST is just genius! So beautiful, such great vocals of the cast, so fitting for the atmosphere of the drama. I could cry just thinking of "What Should I Do?" and "Without Words" (which was the first Korean song I learned the lyrics for - I practised in my room and everything.)
Apart from the genius OST, the beloved cast and the humor, "You're Beautiful" has some really unique and beautiful elements such as Jeremy's Magic Bus, which is a brilliant (and heartbreaking) concept tbh.
There really isn't any flaw that I could point out.

A Good Start
"You're Beautiful" is a good start for any new K-drama fan. It has a fun storyline and whimsical/comedic approach. This makes it appealing to the eyes. It also gives you a warm feeling after watching it! Be warned though, I wouldn't watch this if you are expecting an intense or dramatic storyline. It has a distinct type of drama that is portrayed in an amusing way, but that is about all the drama it has. Actually, I enjoy this show a lot! Especially the music. It is very heartfelt and catchy, perfect for younger audiences.Was this review helpful to you?
