Dear Dramas,
Thanks for existing, but seriously.
So I’m not personally a huge k-drama fan, but I’m just gonna go ahead and declare my love for the one, the only, the best drama in the history of LIFE…..
YOU’RE BEAUTIFUL.
So You’re Beautiful is seriously amazing. I’m talking, LMAO at parts and then sobbing uncontrollably at other parts. I know this is old news (REALLY REALLY OLD NEWS) but this show made my life for 8 long weeks in Sophomore year. Best parts?
1. Hwang Tae Kyung
I love Jang Geun Suk (haters… you know where to go) and he was friggin hilarious in You’re Beautiful. I mean, his sneer was epic and his sulks were hilarious. Plus, all that emo eye candy was just perfecto.
2. Hongki
So Jeremy, played by the absolutely adorable Lee Hongki of F.T. Island, was the comic relief for much of the series, but he could definitely dish it out emotionally- remember the scene on the bus? Jeremy confesses his feelings to his dream guy/girl, and it’s just heartbreaking. I came back to You’re Beautiful even when it annoyed me, because I knew that Hongki would deliver, week after week. An eternal devotion to this little guy was born when I saw him with Angelina Jolie (his dog, not the mother of the entire continent of Africa).
3. The Parodyin’
So the premise of the whole show was kinda weird (a little too close to home for YG, JYP and SM’s comfort level) but it SO. WORKED. Like, the parodies of Sorry Sorry and old-timer KPOP was totally amazing, and maybe that’s why the show was so beloved by fans worldwide. I mean, this is my own personal ode to You’re Beautiful, but I’m pretty sure it works for any person who watched it. ANJELL. FOREBAH. as Jokwon would say it.
