You’re Beautiful is about a girl named Go Mi Nyeo (Park Shin Hye) who has to pretend to be her twin brother Go Mi Nam in order to take his place in the popular boy band A.N.JELL when he needs time to recover from a botched eye surgery. Mi Nyeo is the definition of innocence, and the whole experience proves to be a hilarious challenge.
It doesn’t usually take long for kdrama watchers to hear about the classic You’re Beautiful. This 2009 drama still remains insanely popular among fans.
My advice when watching You’re Beautiful is just to embrace it for what it is. It’s full of clichés and crazy antics, but it executes them perfectly to make for one enjoyable ride.
To The Beautiful You: Korean Drama Review
This was my first introduction to Jang Geun Suk as he played the leader of A.N.JELL, Hwang Tae Kyung. And he definitely took some getting used to! He has unique hair, crazy clothes, and typically likes to display snarly or pouty faces. Of course, he is rude to our heroine, and it does take him some time to warm up to her. He’s a demanding guy, but once you get to know him, you will see a sensitive soul with a warm heart.
Park Shin Hye plays our leading lady who from here on out I will refer to as Mi Nam (which is her twin brother’s name who she is impersonating). Mi Nam is sweet, innocent, and clumsy. Pulling off this switch was difficult for her and certainly provided for many laughs. Park Shin Hye is simply adorable as Mi Nam.
Then we have our faithful second lead, band member Kang Shin Woo (Jung Yong Hwa). After finding out Mi Nam is a girl, he quickly takes a liking to her. He is her support and a shoulder to cry on. He will always do what it takes to make her happy.
You're Beautiful (2009)
Our final band member Jeremy (Lee Hong Ki) is a fan favorite for good reason. He’s playful and fun, and he provides many humorous moments. The poor guy is the last to figure out that Mi Nam is a girl, and he has to deal with trying to process the strange feelings he has towards her. Aww, sweet Jeremy.
We also have our troublemaking second female Yoo He Yi (Uee). She causes a lot of trouble as she tries to blow Mi Nam’s cover. This was my first time seeing Uee, and I really disliked her character in this drama. Thankfully, Uee left a better impression on me in her more recent drama Ho Goo’s Love.
I loved watching the crazy antics with the band and especially between Tae Kyung and Mi Nam. They were constantly getting into awkward situations, and Mi Nam was frequently in need of rescuing. Even though it’s not one of the most swoon worthy romances, it is cute and fun with some extremely heartfelt moments.

Overall, You’re Beautiful is a fun drama. It’s a great mix of fluff and comedy with a nice dash of angst mixed in. It’s a kdrama staple, and it really is a must watch for any drama watcher.

This entry was posted in Reviews and tagged Jang Geun Suk, Jung Yong Hwa, kdrama, Korean Drama, Lee Hong Ki, Park Shin Hye, Uee. Bookmark the permalink.I’ve mentioned this show a couple of times here on my blog already, but I haven’t really had the chance to write about how much I’m obsessed with it.
“You’re Beautiful” is a fairly new Korean drama which ended late 2009. My sister has been bugging me to watch it ever since it ended but I haven’t had the time until recently. She warned me that I should only start when I have about 16 hours to spare (the show has 16 episodes), because she knows I’ll definitely be hooked, and she was right! Seriously, if you’re going to watch this, be prepared to stay up all night because you won’t be able to stop.
The show is about a nun in training who is forced to take the place of her twin brother, Go Mi Nam, while he undergoes corrective surgery. Her brother has recently been accepted into Korea’s top band called A.N.Jell. She must keep her identity a secret while living in a dorm with 3 other band members, all of them guys.
K Drama Rewind: You're Beautiful
One of the best Asian series I’ve seen in a long time. Although gender benders are quite common in Asian dramas and mangas (Hana Kimi, Coffee Prince, etc), I still love them since they always guarantee lots of comedic scenes.
The story was very well written and the I love how it was directed. I can tell that a lot of effort was made in the production of this drama. The actors did a great job in portraying their characters.
This show had me cracking up so much. There were moments when I had to literally pause it because I was laughing too much and I couldn’t read the subtitles properly. Of course, there were a couple of sad and touching scenes as well.
You're So Beautiful (2011)
There are a lot of love triangles in this drama so I expected it to get messy. I’m not really a fan of multiple love triangles because they usually give me headaches, I tend to get confused about who loves who. But “You’re Beautiful” was just so well-written that I just kept on wanting more.
One thing I’ve got to tell is you is how much I loved the soundtrack. I have the entire album on repeat right now. I even downloaded some sheets online and have started learning a few songs on the piano. (You can see me play “Without Words” on the piano here.)
I would give this series full marks, 5/5 stars. Yes, I love it that much. It’s been over a year since I’ve been this hooked on a show (the last was the Taiwanese drama “It Started With A Kiss”). I love everything about this drama: the cast, the plot, the twists, the soundtrack … everything! I highly suggest that you go and watch it!

One reason why I love “You’re Beautiful” so much is because of the A.N.Jell members. They’re all really talented actors and singers. I think that having them actually sing the band’s songs was a huge plus. It made the show a thousand times more believable.
Jang Geun Suk as Hwang Tae Kyung was perfect. I don’t think any other actor could have played this role as well as he did. I loved his facial expressions and the special way he says “Go Mi Nam”. He reminded me a bit of Tamaki Hiroshi when he played Chiaki in the Japanese series “Nodame Cantabile” (another fave of mine). Another thing they have in common is that deep and beautiful voice that I can just listen to all day. I wasn’t really a fan of his guyliner in the show, but I guess they did that to make him look a bit older since he’s supposed to be the leader of the band.
Watch You Are Beautiful
Park Shin Hye played Go Min Nam extremely well, I loved her from the start. She’s just so cute and bubbly. Her innocence and her scared expressions won me over. She’s adorably stupid, you can’t help but love her.
I was thrilled to see Jeremy being played by Lee Hong Ki, the lead vocalist of the Korean band FT Island. He’s more of a singer than an actor but I still think he did an amazing job in this series. He reminded me a lot of Ikuta Toma playing Nakatsu in the Japanese version of “Hana Kimi”. He was the one I was most attracted to in the first few episodes. I only wish they didn’t give him that horrible hairstyle towards towards the end of the series, I mean what’s with those blunt bangs?? But overall I still think he’s great. (I’m slowly becoming an FT Island fan because I keep searching for videos of Lee Hong Ki on youtube XD)
The last A.N.Jell member, Kang Shin Woo, was played by Jung Yong Hwa. According to online polls, Shin Woo is the most popular A.N.Jell member, probably because he’s the kindest and sweetest among them (and he’s extremely good looking too XD). He’s the most mature out of the members, and probably the smartest among them. His one-sided love for Go Mi Nam made a lot of fans cry because it was just so pure.
