This is the best remake of You're Beautiful and might even be better except for the original cast and songs being special to me. They've tweaked the story here and there, though of course all the important scenes and sequences are the same. Sometimes the changes are good, at times a little annoying. I didn't much appreciate all the extra scenes that Xin Yu gets here. But, the reporter character was far less annoying than the original. Jiro Wang is of course very good, though a slightly less irritable Tae Kyung. But he isn't Jang Guen Suk-only because I'm partial to JGS. Su Li Wen takes the cake as Gao Mei Nan/Mei Nu. She is as good and almost as cute as Park Shin Hye in playing that stupid yet endearing character. The only character who seemed to try very hard but didn't quite get there was Jeremy. The music is almost the same, except for two songs I think. It wasn't anything to write about though. This drama is definitely a worthy remake of You're Beautiful. The Japanese remake was disappointing for me, so was all the more happy to see this. This is a good watch, whether you're watching as a remake or as a fresh drama.
