You're Beautiful (2009)

Everything about it is stupid

The characters are stupid. The story is stupid. Just... give it a miss.

The most offputting thing for me was that the lead male was so unlikeable. The was he treats Go Min Nam at the beginning is simply abusive. Yes he *kind of* has a character arc, but nowhere near enough to make up for his initial behaviour. He's basically just narcissistic eyeliner with stupid hair.

I could not bring myself to believe that Go Min Nam liked him. Especially when there was Shin Woo: kind, intelligent, perceptive, and the best looking of the bunch. Why on earth she picked Tae Kyung after the constant bullying is beyond me.

At best, this drama didn't age well. At worst, it sends a damaging message to young girls: that if you put up with abusive treatment and keep apologising for who you are, a man will eventually come to like you. Urgh.

They could have made so much more of Jeremy's storyline - discovering his sexuality and accepting himself for who he is. But no: the guy he liked is actually a girl so it's all fine and he's COMPLETELY STRAIGHT (he isn't)

I gave it an extra half star for the scene about fanfics, which was legit hilarious.

i fall in love!!(⁠•⁠ө⁠•⁠)⁠♡

When I saw them for the first time I fell in love with all of them!
At first I didn't like Tae-kyung's character at all but then I started to like him... he has a beautiful smile!! ♡
Park Shin-hye is so beautiful as a boy! She is very cute! (•⁠ө•⁠)♡
I cried when Jeremy sang on the radio, I have a lot of affection for him... actually I would have liked there to be some story between him and Mi-nyeo...
Anyway, I wish A.N.Jell was real!

Cuando los vi por primera vez me enamoré de todos ellos!
Al principio el personaje de Tae-kyung no me gustaba para nada pero después le empecé a tomar cariño... tiene una hermosa sonrisa!! ♡
Park Shin-hye es tan hermosa como chico! Es muy cute!(⁠•⁠ө⁠•⁠)⁠♡
Lloré cuando Jeremy cantó en la radio, le tomé mucho cariño... en realidad me hubiese gustado que aunque sea haya alguna historia entre él y Mi-nyeo...
En fín, quisiera que A.N.Jell sea de verdad!

*sigh*

This drama has a lot of cliches and probably was the original one that started those I’m not sure because I’m fairly new to kdrama land. But honestly cliche is not at all the problem with this drama. I can manage with cliche dramas and still find them cute.
This drama started off fine like I knew what to expect and since I watched it in 2021 it probably wouldn’t make it to my top 3 or top 10 considering the plot is a little outdated. Pig rabbit concept was cute tho!(0.5 for that)

The main problem with the drama however is that it gets so frustrating with every passing episode. The heroine suffers so much because of her one sided love, the other guy in the love triangle also silently suffers because he’s unable to tell her how he feels but the hero can’t even decide properly till the last episode that he wants to be with the heroine. His feelings are very vague and there’s really no romantic chemistry between the leads. They seem like a pair of siblings, Hwang Taegyung being the older sibling always looking out for his little sis Ko Mi-Nam

As this drama was inching closer to the end my patience was ticking. The drama was hella frustrating and childish.

I finished this drama out of pure respect for the the leads Jang Geun Suk and Park Shin Hye. Both of them are really good actors (The 2 points in this review are for them). The actor who played Shin woo couldn’t act. His eyes were blank. But I read somewhere that it was his first drama so I’ll let it slide.

This show feels like a classic now, especially considering this was one of Park Shin Hye's sillier/more passive roles. It was recommended to me a couple years ago, before I had become familiar with kpop. It's definitely a show for a beginner and has the right amounts of drama and romance associated, but doesn't take itself too seriously. If you watch the Kdrama LOLs on Youtube, this show is on the series, and it shows you all the dumb and ridiculous moments this show has to offer. Regardless, it's quite funny and unique. This is one of the only shows of Jang Keun Suk's that I can watch anymore. He often plays an arrogant character that softens up and exposes his troubles. I also thought that having Jung Yong Hwa from CNBlue and Lee Hong-Gi from FT Island, made this show that much better, even though they weren't really actors at the time.

Как обычно подбешивала главная героиня, но к чести создателей, она оказалась сильной личностью. Г герой, как я уже писала, сшибал всех своей холодностью, позерством и эгоизмом (причем по сценарию). Но боже мой, как же он менялся когда просто улыбался. Второстепенные персонажи тоже хороши, но это почти во всех дорамах. Злодейки даже в конце немножко исправились и старая и молодая. Мне очень понравился внешне второй член группы, гитарист, который тоже был влюблен в Гг-ню, но так долго телился, так достал своей неуверенностью, что напомнил мне двух моих знакомых-балбесов, которые ведут себя так же.
И вот чего офигительно умеют делать дорамщики, так это в каждой серии ставить пару-тройку кульминационных моментов - с выдержанной паузой, крупными планами и "серпом по яйцам".

I have recently watched this drama for a second time and I still loved it even though I knew how it would end. I loved the cast and thought they were perfect I loved Jeremys childish innocence and I hated Yoo He Yi I admired the mature and sophisticated Kang Shin Woo. I wanted to smack Hwang Tae Kyung around the head for his arrogance. I cried with Go Mi Nam when she had bad times and smiled like an idiot when she had good times. Watching dramas made in the U.K or America never seem to evoke the emotions that I get with Asian dramas and more often than not I end up losing interest or hate the main character. I loved the soundtrack and I enjoyed the plot line as when I first watched this drama it was unique.

This drama made me cry of sadness on the last episode because I would miss it! I rewatched it many times! It's totally a classic! and the characters? Down to earth to me! Hongki, Yonghwa, and JGS are all amazing actors. Probably my favorites! This drama is a very very good romance. Between 3 boys and 1 girl. And the cross dressing? and secrets? Make it BETTER (in my opinion). It's one of the best out there, that'll have you crying, laughing, and jumping around your room.! So don't even think a second to go to Dramafever, Youtube, Viki, etc. and watch it! It stars 4 of the most popular actors. You won't regret watching it. I surely didn't. So watch it!

This was my very first drama and i am glad that i started with such a wonderful one....I watched it 3 to 4 years ago and still this is my most favourite drama....i can rewatch it any number of times and doesn't get bored at all....

Story:
The story line may somewhat seem cliche to many people but that is what makes it so memorable and best...It keeps you always fresh and never disappoint you even in one episode....The development of love between the leads is so realistic and lovely....some people may have second lead syndrome at first (even i had it) but subsequently you will start to like the main lead more....

Acting:
The main reason for this show to get so much popularity is definitely because of the casting... They were apt to the name you're beautiful... And also they did a great job in portraying their roles....Especially Jang geun suk was awesome as Hwang tae kyung...

Music :
This was my first time getting inspired from lyrics and music of another language.... the ost " Without Words" was just awesome..... still one of my favourite ost...also all the other ost were good...since this was a musical drama i had great expectations for music and it definitely satisfied me

Rewatch :
I can definitely say you can rewatch this any number of times without getting bored...such an amazing drama

Overall :
It is a 10/10 for me....I cannot say it is the best drama generally (for me it is the best) but it will surely be a memorable and close to heart one....you will surely enjoy it...

in my opinion this is the best drama ever made...i know some of you won't agree whit me because in a lot of dramas girls dress like a boy and then we all know what happens but i think in this drama is different, cause she is a nun and here original purpose is not to seduce a man like in the most dramas but she is doing it for here brother (and in coffe prince is the same....she likes the main actor so she decides to dress like a boy and the second thing is making money) And the cast for it is perfect i think Park Shin Hye is an awesome actress and she fits perfectly for a boyish roll. And the music is perfect because it has a special meaning...every song...

You're beautiful was my first drama, it got me into dramas.
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!
