I just had to sign in to this site to write this review. I must say when I first watched You're Beautiful I loved the story, maybe except from some overacted parts that I feel weren't due to acting skills - cast was doing very well, the story was too much sometimes.

What Japanese remake did was like editing a good story to make a great one. Or rather to turn great drama into outstanding.

So yeah, this is why I gave 10 points for Story - thought in Ikemen Desu Ne we can find a lot of parts exactly the same, the story goes a bit faster, seems far more natural - you believe in the characters, they are alive, while in You're Beautiful it's more like fairytale.
And the ending in this remake, I LOVE it! wait and see for yourself :)

Acting/Cast I will give 10 if not for amazing acting in Korean drama - JGS was just splendid, you have to love him. On the other hand I won't change the leading role in here - the chemistry between Ren and Mio (Miko) was so...well, sometimes it gave me shivers, love was in the air. And they were lovable and natural and altogether with the upgraded story it made such a great drama! I will rewatch it and rewatch and rewatch :)

The only thing that wasn't really special - Music, but to tell the truth after all this Korean musical dramas it was refreshing. And it worked well with the story plot.

Enjoy watching, and make sure you have enough time booked - it's impossible to stop once you start watching.
