Isn't it like that sometimes? We can see the problems with things we love most but it doesn't make us love them any less! I also had issues with Go Mi Nyu. I also hated that all three guys were madly in love with her. I honestly hated Shin Woo. He was my least favorite kind of drama stereotype "the nice guys finish last poor, poor me...but actually I'm not that nice because I spend the whole drama not telling the girl I love her and then try to make her feel horribly guilty at the last moment for not returning my feelings". However, I adored Tae Kyung. I do feel like he had more character growth, subtle as it may be, then you are giving him credit for. And I loved his look honestly silly as it may have been. I loved the contrast with this guy who thinks he is the coolest, manliest man to ever live and yet he dresses and at times acts the opposite. Funny and an opportunity for the female lead to see past his crap, external and emotional crap! Anyway...I can see your point, but my love remains. :)Thoughtsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6846709423440845137.post-3454151801182442512014-07-29T13:52:35.016-06:002014-07-29T13:52:35.016-06:00Exactly.

I understand the thing about the main character, that she's a bit dumb, but she's not really, the more I watched it the more she became a better character and the more i liked her, she's just a bit different from the usual protagonist, but I don't think that she's a teary puppy, I mean come on! girls ALWAYS cries a LOT in dramas... and at least park shin-hye can act. About the 2 problem, well everyone has their own tastes, i wasn't attracted to him first too but then boom! And I think he had enough character development, he became a better person and went from "me" to "we"... Worst boyfriend ever? I don't think so! There's so much worst, I'm thinking about "playful kiss" where the guy stayed the same asshole and his relationship with the girl was so awkward and uncomfortable til the very end. The song? What about "boys over flower" where "almost paradise" was played 10 times in one episode...Now I'm feeling like i'm the one that hates, but anyway I just wanted to defend this great drama sure it's not perfect, but It's definitely in the top 10 or even top 5 dramas, but well, everyone can have their own opinion, i'm sure that i have a lot of shows that i would like to say a lot of shit of.Nadia Poupkovanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6846709423440845137.post-83144683369112475692014-02-12T20:24:58.065-07:002014-02-12T20:24:58.065-07:00I'm so glad you agree!

I have watched it over and over. However he does play a similar character (musician) his character develops a lot and you actually get to see the couple's relationship, unlike most k dramas that end once the couple finally gets together. I also really love his movie You're my pet (its on youtube) It has a strange plot, but it is very funny.

I've watched All...I'm a new Kdrama watcher. I've watched All In, Full House and Coffee Prince (in that order). I think Coffee Prince ruined Kdrama for me. It was so good, everything else after that seemed like bleh. I am actually watching You're Beautiful right now and I'm on episode 14. The series has been tolerable at best. It's difficult to take the male lead character seriously. He looked like a effeminate cross-dresser.The only strong emotions I felt was for the auntie and the actress (who I both wanted to punch in the face). The female lead did ok I think. Way too naive but I let it slide due to the living with the nuns thing. The music seemed forced and did not set the proper tone for most of the scenes. All in all, I wouldn't call it a waste of time but not good enough to really get into.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6846709423440845137.post-55008303261745437192013-08-07T18:29:12.335-06:002013-08-07T18:29:12.335-06:00I'm relieved to see that I'm not the only ...I'm relieved to see that I'm not the only one who dislikes this drama. I often see You're Beautiful on many top Korean drama lists and I cannot fathom why. I'm a huge fan of gender-benders so I was excited when YB came out...and then I was promptly disappointed. <br /><br />Like you, my number one problem with the drama was Go Mi Nyu. After watching Coffee Prince, I just really expected someone who could pass for a guy. But since all the guys in the drama looked so feminine, I let it go. What I couldn't stand was her lack of common sense and backbone. None of the secondary characters were even interesting enough to make up for all that the main characters were lacking. Also, the plot was stagnant and I couldn't stand the manipulation from the other female characters. <br /><br />I really liked Jeremy though, especially when he puts on a brave face on the bus after Mi Nyu confesses she likes Tae-kyun. He totally respects her decision unlike so many secondary male leads.

OMG, WHAT CAN I SAY, I ABSOLUTELY...Hi modern girl!! OMG, WHAT CAN I SAY, I ABSOLUTELY FANTABULOUSLY CRAZILY LOVED LOVE RAIN TOO!!!! <3 I admit, the first four episodes had a bit of controversy around it - you either love is alot because its so unique(set in the 1970s) and sweet, or hate it because it's boring. Many people actually loved it though, they said the love was pure and enchanting, and very different from the typical Josean era or modern day love. For me though, I would not say it was great, but it was quite beautiful. <br />I think the first 4 episodes are important though, they are kind of like the backbone of the whole story, so try to endure if you find it boring. Once it reaches the MODERN ERA IN THE 5TH EPISODE, THINGS GET REALLY PUMPY AND EXCITING. I WAS HOOKED, STAYING UP LATE TO CATCH THE EPISODES ON KBS THEN WAKING UP AT 5AM TO CATCH THE ENCORE! IT WAS AMAZING. I find the love between Seojun(Jang Keunsuk) and Hana(Yoona) completely believable, sweet, and they have PERFECT CHEMISTRY. REALLY!(Esp the fountain kiss in ep9 :3) I must really take my hat off to Jang Keunsuk in this series. HE IS INCREDIBLY CAPABLE AS AN ACTOR. For once, he isn't in a historical drama(Hwang jini, Hong Gildong), not in a musical drama either(Beethoven Virus, Mary Stayed Out All Night, You're Beautiful), but he stars as an ARTIST AND PHOTOGRAPHER FROM 2 DIFFERENT TIME ERAS! The cute, quite and kind artist in the 1970s and the hot, cool and suave photographer in 2012s. I really love his voice and acting skills, them alone make a drama worth watch(he still sang the OST called Love Rain for the drama)! Give this drama a go, you HAVE TOO! IT IS DANGEROUSLY ADDICTIVE EVEN AFTER WATCHING IT OVER AND OVER, BUT WHO CARES! An awesome, unique and mesmerizing kdrama for a change! <3 (I will agree that his mum was just annoying and wicked though)JKS's character in 2012 era is a little mean, I admit, but definitely better than Hwang Taekyung! There is a very VERY DRASTIC CHARACTER CHANGE in my opinion, and he is really romantic and lovable there!<br /><br />For You're Beautiful, well, I kind of agree actually. I didn't get hooked well watching and gave it up, though I tried rewatching it last year after love rain. It was more enjoyable then:) I didn't like his character that much either. AND YES, I DIDN'T FIND ANY CHEMISTRY. I didn't think there were others like me too, hehe. But I think the songs, though repititive, were enjoyable though. The concerts and songs are part of what kept me going:) I LOVE JEREMY(LEE HONGKI) TOO! FREAKING ADORABLE! But still, I'm a JKS fan,so I still enjoyed his coolness in the show, and in contrast with some, Park Shinhye had more chemistry with him than with the gentleman, Shinwoo. I would still recommend it though, stille entertaining in a way, and I love the whole group of actors and actresses! Yep that's it:) WATCH LOVE RAIN, YOU REALLY HAVE TO:DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6846709423440845137.post-78650703471992765142013-05-31T17:36:38.481-06:002013-05-31T17:36:38.481-06:00My eyes are filled with tears-from laughter!

It is very, very ...Daphne, I really like Love Rain. It is very, very romantic and Jang Jeun Suk is amazing. I actually started it and then quit after after watching two episodes because it was slow at first but then I jumped to 5 which is where it picked up for me. Jang Keun Suk's character is completely different and I would make NO comparison to You Are Beautiful. It is an interesting show because Jang Keun Suk plays his father in the first 4 episodes and then the story jumps to years later where he plays the son (and his father is played by an older actor). Once the story jumped into the future I could NOT stop watching. Jang Keun Suk can definitely act. If I were you, I would at least give the show a shot! It is one that I've wanted to go back and watch again (but probably starting in episode 5). Message me back if you end up watching it!
