Currently watching: You're Beautiful (aka You're Handsome)

Sorry luvlies for my lack of updates. Once again, I've been sucked into the k-drama world. I can't get enough of my newest fave... Title: 미남이시네요 / You’re Beautiful Chinese Title : 原来是美男啊 Also known as: You’re Handsome, A.N.JELL Genre: Romance, comedy Episodes: 16

Synopsis

Tae Kyung and On Yu are in search of a new member for their idol group, A.N.JELL. However, Mi Nam suffers an injury at the last moment. So Mi Nyu, his twin sister, is asked to step in for her brother. The rest of the drama follows the behind-the-scenes life of an idol group.

Cast

Jang Geun Suk as Hwang Tae Kyung Park Shin Hye as Go Mi Nam / Go Mi Nyu Lee Hong Ki as Kang On Yu / Jeremy Jung Yong Hwa as Kang Shin Woo

I just finished watching Episode 14. It airs in Korea on Wednesdays and Thursdays so I have to wait until next week for the last couple episodes. I think it's a hybrid of "Coffee Prince" and "Boys Before Flowers." I can't help but compare "You're Beautiful" to those two previous dramas because they are similar in some ways. The lead female character pretends to be a guy (just like in Coffee Prince). However, I must admit that Go Eun Chan is more convincing as a guy. There's also a love triangle among Tae Kyung, Go Mi Nyu, and Shin Woo (just like Jun Pyo, Jan Di, and Ji Hoo in BBF). Thanks to Chomfifi for recommending this k-drama!
