You're Beautiful (2009)

For a lot of people, this was their first drama. But for me, even though it was not my first (of Asian Dramas, Ouran High School was my first, and of Korean Dramas, Playful Kiss was my first.)I really loved it, and it will definitely stay my favorite.

I really loved the humor in this drama. I feel like someone could have taken this plot and gone in a completely wrong direction, and not made it as funny as it was,and I was so glad to see that they didn't do that.

This, of course, was the first time I had ever seen Jang Geun Suk acting, and from this drama on I have always loved his acting. I cannot count the times I have watched this drama, they are way too many.After watching the whole thing I can go back through and watch it again.

I have watched the Japanese version of this, but, even though that version was pretty good and I do like certain scenes better, nothing can beat this original.

This is the best version and has the best actors for the parts.

You should definitely start with this drama.

First of all, I would like to say that I've watched this drama all the way through FIVE times. I was (and still am) obsessed with this drama, but to write this review I tried to be as unbiased as possible.

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.

I tried to watch this once before but couldn't get into it.Tried to watch it again and found it quite interesting. I forced myself to try and watch it. I thought it was good not excellent but it was good enough to able to watch. Some parts was boring but I loved the acting and the plot. I loved the bond between the boys and the girl. Jeremy always made her laugh and gave her good advice. Shin woo was always there for her like an older brother and protecting her. I think he wud of beeen better suited for her then the other guy. Disappointed maybe. But what I like about the 2 main characters is that its unusual, a girl who dedicating her life to nunnery and a guy who is a selfish popstar. He hated her yet he couldn't get enough with saving and looking out for her. I loved this, it was alot more interesting then I thought it would be. Jeremy made me laugh alot, i abouslty adore jeremy and he isn't even a main character.

I'd say that its worth watching but is kinda difficult to get into.

So... This was the first drama i watched so my opinion might be a tiiiiny tiny bit biased but none the less... here i am... giving it a ten.

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 (

Here's My review for " You're Beautiful "
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 =)

Looking for a drama with the perfect balance between comedy, romance, and drama? An adorable/funny male lead? Hilarious supporting characters? Episodes that will keep you wanting for more? And best of all, imaginary scenes that will have you ROFL? Then, Ding! Ding! Ding! You're Beautiful is the answer! I never thought a drama would be better than My Girl, my ultimate favorite. But that was before I watched this drama. It's amazing! A must-watch! Sure, it's not perfect. And sure, Park Shin Hye's character, Go Mi Nam, may be kinda dumb at times. But she's funny, too... and who cares, when you've got Jang Keun Suk acting as the male lead, and Jung Yong Hwa (eye candy) and Lee Hong Ki (source of laughter and his memorable line: JOLIIIIEEEEEE!!!!) as the secondary characters? Uee also makes a great antagonist as He Yi! I also want to give a shout out to President Ahn's random english words, and to a scene involving Super Junior's Sorry Sorry. I recommend this to ANYONE, so watch it :P

My friend recommended this to me and I was like "meh maybe it'll be like Coffee Prince again" since the girl pretended to be a boy. Well, when I watched it, I got addicted to it by just one episode. I love the cliffhangers, it made me watch more. This wasn't boring at all besides COffee Prince that I find boring. The story, about the girl pretending to be a boy is common I know, but it's great because they have their own creativity. The cast are daebak! The chemistry between the main leads too, I love it! The antagonist, she might be mean but it's fun watching her. PSH is an awesome actress in my opinion, she makes me cry when she cries. I get affected when she's sad, she just play her role really well. She's got chemistry with JGS and even JYH. Outstanding. I watched it two times, but I cant always watch it since I still have other things to do ya know. The musics/songs are daebak too, so heart wrenching and happy. I love it. Overall, outstanding.
