The story idea was great. Maybe it's because I have a thing for gender benders, but I really liked the idea. This drama was very lighthearted, fluffy, and cutesy, and I couldn't help but squee the whole way through. Jeremy (played by Lee Hongki), was absolutely adorable. If you need a lighthearted drama to get your mind off of sad stuff (for example, if you just finished watching a drama like Stairway to Heaven and need a quick breather), watch You're Beautiful. The music was amazing, and the story made me smile. There were some funny scenes, and I love the pig rabbit with all my heart.
However, I DO think that this drama is overrated. Personally, I loved the story, but the acting could have been better (UEE was pretty good in this drama though. I was impressed). This drama was fun, but it was amateurish and there were several flaws in the acting and storyline that didn't make sense. Halfway through, the drama really starts dragging and goes downhill. The story starts to fall apart, and at one point I felt like nothing made sense. The ending wasn't all too great either. If you don't like weak characters, You're Beautiful might drive you insane. Go Mi Nyu (Park Shin Hye), who pretends to be Go Mi Nam, is a very weak character who makes extremely stupid decisions and is probably the most dense drama character I've ever encountered in my life. I still love the drama and there were some funny scenes because of her clumsiness, but sometimes her character just made me frustrated.
Still, I gave this a 9 rewatch value because of the ambiance that it creates. Even though there are flaws, the happy and funny scenes are great (and not to mention this is a kdrama that you could watch with the whole family since it doesn't have many-if any- inappropriate parts) and the overall light tone of the drama could lift your spirits when you're feeling down. You're Beautiful is one of those dramas that has some really stupid mistakes, but you can't help but forgive and ignore because you love the adorable-ness of the drama too much to complain about it.

Story; Soooo the story. Clichéd? Yes. Totally worth it anyway? YES! And i only wrote that in caps because i can't do double lines under words. This was soo cute (though i can't give it a ten... because, even though the story was great, it has been used 7 bajillion times already, but hey i'm not complaining) and the actors were very good at expressing themselves AS the characters, and making them likable even though some of them were total pricks (Yes i am talking to you Jang Geun Seok... Props to you)
Acting: Was the acting good? Yes. Was the acting Superawesometacular? Hmmm... Maybe not completely, but it was really good. Is the actors acting abilities completely overshadowed by the fact that they are amazingly supermegafoxyawesomehot? ... Do i even have to answer that?
Music: Did i weep openly half of the time that dramatic song played (If you've seen the drama you know what i am talking about)? No, but that is only because i am almost incapable of crying, because if I could've cried, i would've cried (

Let me just say, I left this drama on hold for SO long because i thought Park Shin hye would be horrible in this drama since I had a strong dislike for Flower Boy next door, But BOY was I wrong. She did a fantastic job in this drama, sad that i left it on hold for so long.
I want to make this short since I don't have much to say on it besides ^

Story: Interesting enough, I've never really watched a story like this but I probably have read the idea a bunch of times. I love how it was carried out however, it kept me on my toes and it was interesting when they threw in the idea of a nun being thrown into a completely different world .Now that is originality.
Acting/Cast: Amazing. I changed my thought process on Park Shin Hye's acting and Lets just say she may have gained a fan in me.
Music: I enjoyed it, even Shin hye's addition to the pieces.
Rewatch Value: Meh, I don't think i'll watch again due to the frustration I had during some parts and how naive the main character was.
Overall: Should you watch? Yes. Don't miss the opportunity because you wont regret it. I had many laughs within the comfort of my room and I assure you this drama is a good one.

You're beautiful was my first korean drama and I loved it. The main couple is just excellent, they have good chemistry and a lot of scene are just adorable. I laughed a lot and did not cry so much and sometimes it is damn good to just enjoy like this.What I liked, beside the main couple, was that the plot was quite well found and the characters would find themselves in all sort of funny situations, a drama perfect to laugh and don't think too much. Well, it is not a spoiler to say that a woman with three men will lead to cute "love" scene between her and the other three and it was really nice, especially with jeremy and Hwang Tae Kyung.
The one thing I did not like so much was the relation between Go Mi Nam and Kang Shin Woo because I could not help but be sooooo sad for him all the time, but because of the main couple, I could not help but watch and love the story.
The music was quite nice and made me love K-POP =p Also, all the other characters were funny and I assure you that you will have a good time.
BUT do not expect a mature drama, it is more dedicated to a young public but it is also nice sometimes feeling of "pure" love =)
enjoy =)

This drama was very good, but not a perfect drama. I felt that in this drama, the viewer can easily tell what's going to happen next (but then maybe it's because I saw so many spoilers on other websites... LOL). The plot was different than other dramas, since not a lot of dramas have the female lead to disguise herself as a male. I really liked the casting; UEE as Yoo He Yi was very believable. Her portrayal of the jealous girl was outstanding; I really hated that character. x D I usually don't remember the music during the drama, but I didn't hear anything unpleasant. I would recommend this drama to others, but I won't say that it's the best drama out there. Overall, I give this drama an eight out of ten. Was this review helpful to you?
