Ești Chiar Chipeș! (2009)

I love it. I own it. I've watched it many times. I really don't know that I need to same more but I will. I loved the hot and spicy Jang Geun Suk and his acting was great. The series was so freakin funny, and some parts were, for me laugh out loud funny and that doesn't happen often. I also sat through many episodes with a stupid grin on my face. There were also cute moments in every episode and many sweet moments. The very cute guy characters relationship with Go Mi Num was awesome. I also loved, loved the loyalty in this. I just loved all the guys characters they were great and they fit the guys well. Till this day Lee Hong Ki is known to me as Jeremy and Jang Geun Suk I call him Hot and Spicy. Shinwoo is Shinwoo but he was a beautiful character. Every character was different and stood out to really make this a great series.

I first watched this drama while I was in the hospital. This is, by far, the first ever korean drama that I liked. And this is also the one which started my addiction in kdrama. The first thing that caught my attention was the cuteness of Park Shin Hye's character, doubled by Jang Geun Suk's attractiveness, Yong Hwa's down-to-earth humbleness, and of course, Lee Hong Ki's adorable apple bobbed hair..

I definitely give a thumbs up to this drama. The story is overall mind-boggling, with some twists and turns.. Unfortunately, I wish there was a good ending. For me, the ending was just so plain.

Anyways, this is one drama that I love watching over and over again. I admit, Park Shin Hye definitely has the capability to win the hearts of her co-stars, since she is such a simple but beautiful woman.. right, piggy rabbits? :)

Okay, this was one of the first K-dramas I've ever watched and thought I will give it a quick review. Firstly, all of the dramas that I rate in which I first entered K-drama land automatically get an extra star from me...and this one is no exception.

You're Beautiful is not for mature audiences, no one really should step into this drama for a compelling and a ocean deep story. This story is all about standing in shallow water looking for something not even in the pond...you would know what I mean when you watch this...just don't look for something that is not there.

Instead you would get a fluffy plot, with funny scenes and all around cuteness.

Thoughts:

I watched this drama three times:

The first time, I really was rooting for the second lead, the second time I really fell in love with the first lead and the third this I came to realize that Jeremy (our 3rd lead) really was the best character hands down...and probably most deserving of our female lead. That bus scene though....Hong Ki did a wonderful job!

I would recommend this for anyone that wants a light story, with unbelievable things happening nonstop and a quick laugh. The re-watch value for this fluff is extremely high for me for some reason.

Okay first I just want to give reason why I watch this. First it's because of Yonghwa and Hongki. Then I see it's really popular on DramaCrazy so I decide to watch this.

The story for me is nothing new. Gender bender from girls to boys is really common on manga. For this drama I think nothing special for the story too.
For some first episode well nothing much happen on some first episode actually so it's not bad yet not good. But then it's getting better and better when the romance begin and I start to like it. But, on some last episode (around 14) it's getting worse. But the ending is pretty good :)

I love the cast and the music ! The cast play the role well I think :D And I like that "I will promise you" song xD

Overall I don't dislike this drama but I wouldn't say it's my favorite. Well I still enjoy most of time watching this drama :D
I think you should watch this. I still recommend this drama :)

This was one of the first dramas I tried to watch, and I'd heard a lot of good things about it. But to be honest, I REALLY didn't enjoy it then. That was at the time when I really knew nothing at all about Korean artists. I couldn't even tell the difference between them.
After some time, though, I became more familiar with the Asian drama concept, so I tried to re-watch a lot of shows I disliked before. This was one of those. But after knowing a lot more about it, it was suddenly SO funny and cute! The acting was so good, I couldn't believe it! It was actually surprising at some points.
The story was amazing! The only reason I didn't give it a full score, is because of the unnecessary scenes that makes you want to keep watching it as if it never happened.
The cast really did their job, and each actor fit their character so perfectly it was scary! I especially like the way they use facial expressions and gestures. But I can't really give a full score here, either, because I do want to replace some of them, for some reason.
Music is exactly what you'd expect from such a cast. But I love the fact that they're sung by the cast, and how it personalizes everything very deeply. And the music really carry out the emotions needed.
I don't think I would re-watch this in the nearest future. Not because it was bad, but because I wouldn't be able to forget the whole story that quickly. Rather than the low re-watch value score being something negative, think of it as positive.
Overall: This is definitely one of the best dramas I've ever seen. When I'm an adult with kids, I'm going to keep the whole show on a DVD or anything, and when the kids are old enough, I'll make them watch this. Because it really does carry a very important moral that is hard to teach. I loved it very much.

So far I’ve seen several dramas but You’re Beautiful was the first one I saw. I guess I probably saw it on the first place because it was a very popular drama and many people recommended it.
It’s a drama for young people like teenagers and young adults. It has a good story. As a first drama it is kinda nice to watch. It doesn’t have that much heavy themes. And the OST is really good! It mostly captivates you for the OST.

If it was now I probably would pick another drama to watch first. Not that it is bad…it’s just… not that good… at least in my opinion!

You know why it became so popular? Lee Hong Gi, vocalist of FT Island. Jung Yong Hwa, vocalist of CN Blue. And also Jang Geun Suk. Well I think this is a bit sad.. I mean, people only told me to watch it because they were dazzled with those famous singers. Not because they are good actors nor because of the story! But just because they are in a drama and they are famous! This is unbelivable…
Now that I saw more dramas after this one I can see what is a good performance or not and those certainly are not actors.
I kinda liked Yong Hwa’s performance. Not Hong Gi. I also liked Jang Geun Suk but I rather see him in Mary Stayed Out All Night. Probably because he was a really cold person in You’re Beautiful. And I HATED Park Shin Hye’s performance. Too much sloppy, innocent, childish, repetitive, ANNOYING!!

You just have to know that if you want to start watching dramas you can start by this one but there are so many good dramas to start with!! Or else.. do not watch this drama! watch it after watching others, if you’re really curious. Or else, do whatever you want! But this drama lacks so much! If I was the director I would have developed it better! It is funny though… but I guess that after seeing such good dramas as I saw after you just realize that this one isn’t that good.

You're Not That Great

I think that if I had watched this when I was 15, I would have been obsessed with this drama. Sadly, it didn't quite reach my expectations.

The negative aspects:
- I am pretty much done with shows where the girl ends up with the guy that is really mean to her (the bad boy). It just shows she has no self-respect. I mean, he literally tells her he gives her permission to like him. WTF.
However, I was happy to see she grew some spine by the last few episodes, even though it was a little too late.
- The acting could have been better. And what was with the pouting from Tae Kyung? It looked ridiculous.
- I can not get over how horribly written the female main character was... I have noticed this from most shows where the female MC acts dumb/stupid or too innocent. Too often she lost sight of the reason why she was pretending to be a boy and she was always saying she was going to leave. Shin Woo made plans with her and SHE ALWAYS MISSED IT. It was so disrespectful.
- I wish I could have felt the bromance between Jeremy, Shin Woo, and Tae Kyung but all they cared about was Mi Nam.
- The whole plot was ridiculous.

The positive aspects:
- I love the fact it was the actors singing the songs. The OST was absolutely amazing and it is one of my favorites.
- My favorite character was Jeremy and I hate how little he appeared towards the end of the show. If you are going to have the three guys as male leads (supposedly) then they need to have a purpose throughout the show (e.g. Because This Is My First Life). There was so much potential with Jeremy and I think it was wasted. I loved every scene of his and I cried when he was sad and confused. He deserved better.
- And I think the same goes for Shin Woo. I appreciate the fact that he let Mi Nam go when he knew she only had eyes for Tae Kyung and how he would always help her. I am glad he wasn't just another guy who would do anything to win the girl.
- Shoutout to Jolie, the cutest pup.
- And shoutout to the Manager. I only laughed because of him.

I want to point out that I don't think this was necessarily Bad but it also wasn't that Good. Overall, I think it was okay.

hmmmm

I am usually the one raving about the dramas but I was tempted to give this one a 2/10 which I did not give it. I am a bit shocked to read the other reviews as most of the people really enjoyed it. I did laugh a lot but the main actors were painfully daft. How can you have so many misunderstandings for heaven sakes. The heroine apologised the whole time and the hero did not have a good word for her even though he was attracted to her. In real life I DO NOT THINK that will work out well. The heroin had no self esteem from the looks of it. I definitely watched it end out but skipped two episodes as it was just too much for me to handle. Even the ending was a bit strange frankly......gosh.... Sorry to be a party pooper but I think I need a bit of a break from K Dramas for now just to recover.......
