New Drama - I will promise you....la, la, laaaa

[seichan]

You're Beautiful (aka. He's Beautiful..not sure which title is the official one) 1! kdrama featuring Jang Geun-seok (from Hwangjini and Beethoven Virus). A nun-in-training(like Maria from the Sound of Music), Go-mi played by Park Shinhye, gets recruited to replace her twin brother in a boy band, A.N.JELL. Jang Geun-seok plays the lead vocalist, Hwang Tae-kyeong, with a bug up his arse (I suspect it has to do with the witch-like mother). Other than the nun part, there's nothing really new as the boys and public are fooled into believing that Go-mi is the newest male member of A.N.JELL. (The summaries of the show say that her gender will be revealed to the other guys early on...a change for once). Of course, in true kdrama fashion, the female lead gets drunk and pukes in front of the male lead. It was a well-made episode, but if you've seen Coffee Prince or Boys Before Flowers, the humor and production feel the same. There wasn't enough over-the-top or unique comedy to get any laughs from me. The music was catchy, but it's pretty standard kpop. I'd recommend it if you want a tween-oriented drama to watch. Notes: I did totally love her pink scooter, but I wish the tight jean trend would go away. A much better summary here...
