Be careful, this drama is ADDICTIVE
I don’t write reviews, but this one is exceptional; I specially created an account only for the drama.Where can I start?
I fell for the male lead- Jan Keun-Suk, who had the second male lead syndrome, and Jeremy. They were funny bubbly, and Park Shin Hye did a terrific job. I wouldn’t say I like her roles, except this one. Both ML and FL had great chemistry, and it’s visible. And all soundtracks are chefs kiss.
If A.N. Jell were an honest group, I’d buy their album. You will laugh, cry and scream during the show. Oh boy, it’s not for teenagers; it’s for everyone who has young hearts. I became their fan. And the ending was satisfying and eye candy. ML has similar pride to me ? overall, I highly recommend this to watch! OST songs are on my playlist.

If you haven't watched this series, what are you waiting for?
This is one of my feel-good series, will never get tired watching and revisiting my beloved characters, Tae Kyung and Go Mi Nam and the rest of A.N JELL. I've watched this ever since it was showed, which was year 2009! (My Gosh! I'm an a certified auntie of watching Korean dramas, LOL!) I am a huge fan of JGS and been waiting for a long time for him to have a drama wherein he will be the main lead and alas, HONG sisters fulfilled my wish come true.The story is one of my interest, the gender-bender theme, plus my main guy, JGS and my favorite HONG sisters, so I really followed through with this drama.
Everything is HILARIOUS and interesting in this drama, from the story, OST, characters and my favorite DWEJITOKI stuff toy.
This is a not complicated drama, and you'll just simply enjoy watching them. So if you are still hesitating watching this, please, try watching it and enjoy it.

Park Shin Hye has always been one of those actresses that has a lot to go one when it comes down to acting, but even then I really liked it and I had actually hoped for her to end up with one of the other guys in the show.
However, this is a guilty pleasure and you just have to watch it to get it out of your system, and for those that haven't done so yet, just do it. Your not gonna regret it any time soon!

A special gem that remains funny, fresh, and sweet
I watched this just now, 12 years after the show has originally aired, and I was surprised by how much I like it. I rarely watch older dramas and the very few ones I do, I usually fast-forward through most of the side plots to get to the core story (like 2005's Biscuit Teacher).Having watched most of the Hong Sisters' dramas, I thought I've seen it all and wasn't paying attention in the first 2 or 3 episodes. But the show kept managing to surprise me and the characters are so endearing and well-written that I think this might end up among my all-time favorites.
As a side note, You're Beautiful was eclipsed in ratings by the blockbuster IRIS back in 2009 but interestingly enough, I don't see IRIS getting recommended anywhere anymore while You're Beautiful remains just as loved by k-drama watchers.
Jang Geun Suk and the rest of the cast were simply awesome. Glad they got this project to look fondly back at such a fun time in their lives.

i was in high school, relying on livejournal communities for torrents to watch dramas when i watched YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL for the first time. i am now almost 30. rewatching this on a whim has been such a trip down memory lane. in a lot of ways this drama holds up, though i do think there are a number of cracks that are more apparent than i initially perceived (i mean, obviously, i was like 14 when i watched this for the first time). while not the worst offender considering the time this was airing, shin-woo's behavior in this bordered on creepy at times and full on Nice Guy (he improves but, like, kinda just want my secondary romantic interest to be a normal dude who catches Intense But Unfortunately Unrequited Feelings). it was a little jarring! it's also incredibly tropey in a way that, like, i absolutely see where people can or would turn away from this. the lead is absolutely, absurdly unintelligent--i mean, the cast is composed of not the brightest, in true hong sisters fashion--but naive, sweet, and sincere. park shin hye really shines in selling this and she is truly such a fantastic comedic actress. the romance builds and while it has its bumps, it sucks you in and....genuinely......i'm almost 30 & my hearts still fluttering from the Feels. a straight shot of serotonin, honestly.

You're Beautiful Review
Fun, lighthearted drama. The comedy might be outdated as it was originally televised more than 10 years ago from today, but it's still easy to enjoy. Episodes 1-5 were super cringey/funny for me during rewatch, it was only around episode 5 or 6 when I started taking things seriously.The story involves some K-Pop culture references, so it may add to your enjoyment if you're into those things. The main cast is loveable-it's amusing to see their interactions/dynamics, and they're easy to remember. Shin Hye was so adorable and Yong Hwa as second lead was just perfect.
The soundtrack is really good and catchy. The fact that most of the songs were sang by the actors themselves makes you feel like they really are a boyband.
『 Why I liked it: light tone / Park Shin Hye / charismatic cast / good music 』

Perfect
I know I'm late on this, but wow...after watching, this is by far my favorite kdrama yet. I loved every single character, every one of them. I like that none of the relationships felt forced or thrown in, everything just felt organic and real. I honestly don't even know how I'd never even heard of this one before and I'm pretty sad I missed out on it for so many years. Without giving anything away, I'll just say the way they wrapped it up was satisfying enough that it didn't need more but definitely left you wanting more. I know there are other versions, but the casting for this was so perfect I really can't see the others having even close to the same feel. I also want to throw in that I was having major gender envy the entire time, the main character really did pull off both better than I thought she would.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

a great starter
this was one of my first Korean dramas. I remember it aired on a channel that my mom used to watch. it looked interesting so I started watching it with her. I absolutely fell in love with the characters, story, plot- you name it I loved it- Once it ended I remember I didn't watch another drama for months because I refused to move on from it. It's been around 5 years since I've first watched it and since then I've watched it around 6 times. although the main girl didn't end up with who I wanted- it's still very enjoyable. Not to mention the ost is still on my Spotify to this day. I still listen to it all the time and enjoy every second of it. Although it's been over 10 years since it aired, I hope more newcomers watch it.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

Warning this drama gives you second lead syndrome!Thanks to this drama, I've discovered Young Hwa, and he's now one of my bia wreckers. I'm planning on watching Heartstrings to get over my second male lead syndrome.
The plot is just like any other drama. A female lead and a couple of dudes that's into her. The female lead disguise as a guy and joins a boy band, the boys slowly fall in love with her. The female lead is naive, so the boys always cares about her. But in the end the female lead chooses the least compatible guy. The drama is light hearted and funny. No tissues neceassary.
Acting of female lead was awful. This is one of PSH first dramas shes the lead in, you can definitely tell her acting and emotions has improved a lot through out the drama!
I love the OST for this drama, definitely gonna save their songs to my playlist!
*Edit: Heartstrings isn't on Netflix, I'm so sad :(((((((

If you weren’t in love with Park Shin-Hye before you will after.
I am kind of stuck between an 8.5 and a 9 for this one... since some points make me not quite want to give it a nine but it’s also better than an 8.5... I’ll stick with 9 for now, since in the end I really really enjoyed watching this, despite the few things that bothered me.Cast:
I have always been quite a fan of Park Shin-Hye which makes me kind of sad I did not watch this sooner, since, to me, this might have been one of her best performances, I have seen so far. She showed so many different facets in this one and nailed each one of them. This Drama is definitely not one you should take 100% seriously, she managed to mix seriousness and believability with fun and entertainment so well. Idk I might have fallen in love with her now.
The rest of the cast was also nice, except for the second female lead’s weird eye thing (which is probably nothing she can control so no shame) everything fit really nice.
I had a few doubts about the male lead at first, since he did not really look the part for me at first, however I really grew to love him, especially since his smile was so extremely beautiful, which made the rare moments when his character smiled a thousand times more special.
Story/characters:
This started off so beautifully entertaining, it had me laughing from the first episode and luckily it kept this humour throughout the entire Drama. The storyline itself is vastly unrealistic, but that was absolutely fine since it fit the Drama perfectly.
I loved how the feelings between the two leads developed, and even though it all progressed rather slowly I did not get bored and for the most part it did not feel stretched at all. There were so many cute moments.
We had our typical Drama, caused by the typical reasons, however I did not feel as frustrated with it all as I did in other Dramas, since the characters reacted to the Drama quite reasonable/well (under the circumstances), I did not feel like crashing my head into a wall.
There was a good amount of evil, however not an inhuman amount.
The only thing that I did not like story wise was the ending and the episodes leading up to it. To me that part felt a little too stretched, especially in comparison to how short the ending was. It would have been fine if they’d added one more episode showing what happens after, to give us some time to enjoy the couple and their happiness. This is the main reason I have deducted one point from my rating. The other reason is that there we’re some small scenes that weren’t quite logical (In terms of consistency within the storyline).
I also want to point out how much I loved every single character in this Drama. We had so many different characters that had so many different sides to them, I absolutely loved it. I will point out my personal favourite which is one of the male side characters, his character literally felt like you took a person from the real world and stuck him into the Drama. If Drama characters (due to being Drama characters) didn’t get obvious hints or situations, he’d always be the one who gets them, and then act like he didn’t like everyone else. I absolutely loved this.
The OST to me was kind of disappointing, considering this is a Drama playing within the music business... there we’re very little songs (2?) that just kept on repeating, and I personally didn’t really like both of them that much...
All in all, if you want something entertaining, sweet but also exciting, watch this one, I am almost sure you will not regret.

What a fine drama! "You are beautiful" followed a cult status in Korea after its weeks of airing, and even have its remakes after that. It has its hilarious moments and the music is so wonderful that my heart warmed by it. With its classic plot of a girl that has to pose as a boy due to reasons, and her falling for the male-lead during it.Shin-hye did a remarkable job playing as the innocent and gentle Mi-nyeo and even managed to pull of her twin-brother Minam in ep 15 so well that i crushed on him,haha!The arrogant male-lead and leader of the band A.N.Jell Hwang Tae-kyung was played by Jang Keun-suk who did a great job in showing the angst of a neglected son.I love the way he also adored Mi-nyeo, and the way he woos her without knowing. The others in the band (who also falls for Mi-nyeo) are the gentle Shin-woo and the bubbly Jeremy, no wonder many had second lead syndrome in this drama,because these guys are just golden!
