Drama Review: You're Beautiful

The management company of the idol group A.N.JELL insisted on adding a new singer to the group as the lead vocal, Tae Kyung's voice was hurting. However,the new member, Mi Nam, had to go to the States to repair a botched eye job just before signing the contract. His agent came up with the idea of having his twin sister, Mi Nyu,to stand in for him and pretend that she was her brother. The two of them grew up in an orphanage and Mi Nyu, who was all set to become a nun, agreed to this charade as she didn't want to spoil her brother's chance of fame which would make it easier to look for their mother.

This drama is my favourite drama of all time. I highly recommend you watch it. The music is excellent, the acting is amazing, the plot is extra-ordinary and come on, who doesn't want to see 3 hot guys fighting for 1 pretty girl. The Hong Sisters have REALLY out done themselves. They've wrote "My Girl", "Fantasy Couple", "Hong Gil Dong", now "You're Beautiful". I applaud them.

Tae Kyung (played by Jang Geun Suk), Shin Woo (played by Jung Yong Hwa) and Jeremy (played by Lee Hong Ki) all have different personalities. Tae Kyung being grumpy and arrogant, Shin Woo being nice and calm, and Jeremy being hyper and funny. Mi Nyu (played by Park Shin Hye) is a naive girl who is clueless in love. Yoo He Yi (played by UEE) is a "fake fairy" who gets everything she wants no matter what. All these actors and actresses do a perfect job playing their role. UEE played her role as a bitch so well that I wanted to kill her. Seriously.

Everyone made a lot of connections to "Boys Over Flowers" with this drama. I admit, there are many similarities with both dramas, like Shin Woo resembles Ji Hoo a lot. But I have to say, I like "You're Beautiful" way more than "Boys Over Flowers". You can see that I was and still sort of am a "Boys Over Flowers" fanatic. I have the necklace, mangas, and I've watched all the different versons of the drama (Taiwanese, Japanese, Mainland, Korean). You can say I'm a "You're Beautiful" fanatic now. I really don't even care that it's some-what overrated now, because it's just that good.

The music is amazing. I probably have most of the osts in my iPod. If you like FT Island or CN Blue then you'll definitely love A.N.Jell. Their music is similar to them and it's just as catchy. I've probably listened to the osts more then 100 times. Jang Geun Suk's voice is just so deep and toned. It has a very relaxing vibe to it.

There are so many scenes that I love and still remember from this drama. I even have some scenes in my Ipod and watch them with a smile. There's just so many things I can say about this drama, but instead of me telling you how good it is, you should check it out for yourself.
