After reading some blurbs and watching a promotional video or two, Fall In Love With Me looked very promising. Boy, was I in for a surprise...

CAST | ACTING
Who to Love (or Hate) in Fall In Love With Me

* Aaron Yan was superb! His portrayal of his roles were impressed me and made a lot of impact. The contrast between his two roles was very entertaining.
* I am really sorry to say this but Tia Li's acting skills along side Aaron Yan's was just... inferior. She was mediocre at best but mostly stiff or blank and emotionless. (I did just say blank, didn't I? How can you call it acting when the impression that you gave off was blank?) She also fades into the background in some scenes, which shouldn't have happened as she was the female lead. It made her co-stars look like they were going overboard.
* Beatrice Fang was very good. Her character was just awful. But like an onion with many layers, she went from cute and mostly annoying to pitiful to devious and plotting to crazyville. Beatrice Fang nailed her character and some more.
* Butler Fu or Uncle Bo is one of my favorite characters. He was like Alfred from Batman. It was such a shame that his role became less important and his scenes few and far in between during the last 5 to 7 episodes.

STORY | WRITING
I call this THE FALL of FALL IN LOVE WITH ME

I think the writers butchered the 2nd half of this show. It started out really well because the progress of the story and the romance was exciting and the mix of characters were quite entertaining. And then... Everything just fell apart. Some might like Fall In Love With Me as a whole, but because of its train wreck of a 2nd half, I struggled to continue watching until the end.

- The plot just exploded after the big reveal. It morphed into something that was so twisted and bent that it never got straightened out again.
- Badly written characters galore! Either they were just plain helpless, powerless or made very irritating decisions. They even made one of characters cry in the rain! A full grown man was crying in the rain because his mama doesn't love him enough! And then he ran away... (REALLY SORRY if that one counts as a spoiler. I just couldn't stop my fingers from typing that one in.)

So there. Sorry if that was a bit harsh and brutal. I am not a premier or expert critic but I really think that they just made a big, big mess out of it all after the big reveal. There was no saving it. It was ruined, anticlimactic, sad and disappointing.

You're Beautiful is one of the top dramas on my Re-watch List. I go back to it whenever I don't feel like browsing for a new series or when I just want to have a lazy or relaxed time while enjoying a cute story.

Why I LIKE it?

1. The ANJells

Park Shin Hye, Jang Geun Suk, Jung Yong Hwa and Lee Hong Ki were all adorable in this drama. They were funny, silly and cute with a capital C. I have a feeling that they enjoyed their roles and each other's company while filming and it showed in the portrayal of their characters.

There is also the undeniable chemistry between Park Shin Hye and Jang Geun Suk, which made watching so much fun as their characters develop feelings for each other.

Surprisingly, both Jung Yong Hwa and Lee Hong Ki also performed really well considering that they were both rookies in the drama series scene at the time they filmed You're Beautiful. Jung Yong Hwa's acting was decent while Lee Hong Ki's stood out and his scenes were some of the most memorable for me.

2. The Story

It was well written and emotionally balanced. All happy and sad events in the story were relevant. Yes, there were some -that doesn't happen in real life- moments but that's the beauty of fiction for you. They were a part of the story for their entertainment value and they were not annoyingly impossible.

3. The Soundtrack

I just love love the songs in this drama! Enough said.


I recommend this drama to anyone who is looking for story that is cute, fun and very entertaining. It will keep you laughing and anticipate the different character's antics. You will stay glued to the screen as you watch!

WARNING: Expect severe withdrawal and the songs on repeat inside your head when you're done watching. Enjoy!
