The SBS drama “You’re Beautiful” (미남이시네요), also called “You’re Handsome,” stars Jang Geun-suk (Beethoven Virus), Park Shin-hye (Goong S), Lee Hong-ki from F.T Island, and new-comer/indie rookie Jung Yong-hwa from pop act, C.N Blue.
The storyline revolves around an idol boy band, A.N.JELL. The leader is Hwang Tae-kyung (Jang Geun-suk), an easily-agitated, almost-OCD musical genius, though his vocals are slightly lacking. Jung Yong-hwa plays the cool, calm, and “manly” guitarist Kang Shin-woo. The third and final member is Jeremy (Lee Hong-ki), the blond-hair drum player from Korea and a seemingly royal English descent (though he never speaks English). Jeremy is a fresh and fun character, who loves acting cutesy and throwing parties.
Park Shin-hye, plays a clumsy nun-in-training, Go Mi-nyuh. Her twin brother, Go Mi-nam, gets a coveted spot in the top idol group, A.N.JELL, in order to add some vocal help. However, the brother has an accident and must leave the country. Thus, the manager seeks out the sister to fill in until her brother can return. Thus, Go Mi-nyuh becomes Go Mi-nam in order fulfill her brother’s dream and find their mother, who left them as children. She has to perform with A.N.JELL without revealing to the world she is a girl.
Of course, after joining A.N.JELL, the members slowly start growing fond of Go Mi-nam, as a girl. It’s an interesting gender-bending, high-profile love situation. The main love triangle in the drama happens between Go Mi-nam, Hwang Tae-kyung (Jang Geun-suk), and Kang Shin-woo (Jung Yong-hwa).
Afterschool’s UEE also takes the role of a fake, evil princess as a female rival to Go Mi-nam. She plays the two-faced Yoo Hye-ee (un)surprisingly well. Because of her liking of Hwang Tae-kyung, Yoo Hye-ee is determined to ruin Go Mi-nam’s career and love life.
The drama has a good mix of drama and humor, with the band manager and Jeremy (Lee Hong-ki) adding just enough comic relief to keep it from becoming tiring.
So far, the season is onto its 12th episode in the 16 episode series. Unfortunately, the ratings are low because it shares a time-slot with the big-budgeted and wildly popular IRIS (아이리스, KBS 2TV). However, the drama is remarkably high in download rates from internet portals. In addition, the OST, including songs sung by the members of A.N.JELL, are in top songs lists on Korean music sites.
