You Are Beautiful

The last episode ended in Korea last Thursday. How depressing, now, i feel empty. The reason why I stopped my drama marathons because I want to dedicate my heart and mind to You're Beautiful.

It's the best kdrama I've seen over the years, even exceeding Boys Over Flowers and Shining Inheritance.

Even though its an Idol drama and might sound really cliche, it was a really light-hearted comedy romance series done by the Hong Sisters (my girl, fantasy couple, etc)

Usually I wouldn't complain if there're 16 episodes, my ideal drama is short and sweet, but for this, I cant help but wish it was much longer. However, because IRIS was their competition, the highest ratings that You're beautiful in Korea ever hit was 11%. I'm going to start IRIS after this because of TABI.

Main reason for watching: LEE HONGKI and JANG GEUN SUK
But I grew to love Jung Yonghwa after this show. The lead singer of CN Blue who just debuted in Japan. So, this is his first stint at acting and he really was quite impressive. ^ ^


Sypnosis(from Soompi)
A story about the behind-the-scenes life of an idol group. Jang Geun Suk and Lee Hong Ki are in search of a new member for their idol group. However at the last minute, the member suffers an injury and his twin sister has to step in disguised as him.
Park Shin Hye'll play Go Mi Nam (male) & Go Mi Nyu (female), a pair of twins who ends up switching places when Mi Nam gets into an accident after being selected as 1 of the four members of a idol group. Jang Geun Suk plays Hwang Tae Kyung, a village boy turns idol star who is constantly at odds with Mi Nyu. Lee Hong Gi plays Kang On Yu who is the lead singer of the group. Filming'll start after the final member of the group is found. In the SBS drama 'You are beautiful', Uee is playing the role of "Yoo He Yi", the 'national younger sister' who has the nation's love since she was young and worked hard to become a top star


The cast for this drama was perfect!
Park Shinhye- (Goong S, Stairway to heaven)
Jang Geun Suk- (Baby and I, Hong Gil Dong, Beethoven Virus)
Lee Hongki - ( FT Island's lead singer, also child actor)
UEE- (After School singer)
Jung Yong Hwa- ( CN Blue's lead singer)

UEE: I was really impressed by UEE's acting. Even now, I still can't shake off her evil image, you want to hate her, but then you couldn't really bear to.

Lee HongKi: His acting never disappoint me. I did have high expectations for him and he really shined despite the insignificance of his role. You'll definately fall for his cuteness and can't help to cry with him when he starts crying. I cried when he started singing a happy song in tears, while confessing his love.

Jung Yong Hwa: think Ji-hoo sunbae's (BOF- Kim Hyun Joong) role. the perfect guy whom you can never hate.

Jang Geun Suk: What more can I say about him, without him, there wouldn't be You're beautiful. There's too much about him to be mentioned. A really queer character who is night blinded, a clean freak who would die after eating sesame, shrimp.

Park Shin Hye: I can't say I'm a fan of her, because I'm so jealous of her. HAHAHHA ok, i've definately got to give credit for her acting too.


Ratings: 100/100. if you liked Boys over Flowers, trust me, this is 10 X better.

Baby and I

Baby and I! I've been waiting forever for this and I happend to stumble upon the link in a forum, I doubt it would be released in Singapore.

Baby moon acting.

my personal favourite.

I have a more than a hundred photos of moon in my comp. Every single one of them would make your inside melt.

I wonder why can't korean films have good, gripping story lines. They have good tear-jerking lines and scenes, but you have a good cry and forgot what it was later.


I love the cast!

Jang Geun-suk as Han Joon-su
Moon Mason as Baby Woo-ram
Kim Byeol as Film student Kim Byeol

If you havent got a clue who Moon Mason is, read this post. All my ravings about him is in there, so I'll save this space for cutie dad Jang Geun-Suk. Only at 21, he's got a string of impressive dramas under his belt. Beethovan Virus's on my next watch list. And, I think his top part of his facial features resembles Hong Ki.

Storyline: (from wiki)

"Baby and I" is a straight up comedy centered around Jang Geun-suk's character, Joon-soo, becoming a sudden father. In the movie, Joon-soo is a tough 18 year old high school kid that loves to cause trouble. He often gets in fights, once with 17 other guys, but always comes out as the victor. Then one day Joon-soo's parents decides to go out of town. Joon-soo decides then and there to throw a party at his parent's home. He then goes shopping for groceries and comes upon an unexpected surprise. A little toddler sits in a shopping basket wearing the name tag "Han Wooram" and points to Joon-soo as his father!
He then takes the baby home and tries to find the baby's real parents. When he can't find the parents, Joon-soo even tries to abandon the baby but always fails. He then takes the kid to school which causes further scandal and a suspension. But during this time an unexpected event occurs between Joon-soo and Woo-ram…

Ratings: 9.5/10. Light-hearted comedy but it still made me cry. Baby Moon's such an impressive actor!
