From the writers of my favorite k-drama My Girl comes the irresistible television hit You're Beautiful, which takes viewers into the exciting and hectic world of K-pop showbiz!
Tae-kyung (Jang Keun-suk / Jang Geun-suk) is A.N.JELL's arrogant and insufferable lead singer. Guitarist Shinwoo (Jung Yong-hwa of CNBlue) is too perceptive for his own good, and happy-go-lucky drummer Jeremy (Lee Hong-ki of F.T. Island) is just plain slow on the uptake. Into the boy band mix comes A.N.JELL's bumbling newbie, Minam (Park Shin-hye). But what the fans don't know is that he's actually a she! Roped into posing as her twin brother, Minam has to hide her real identity. But secrets have a way of coming out, especially when her bandmates start falling for her!Read the reviews from those who bought & watched the dvd from Amazon!
5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Korean Drama I've Ever Seen, September 7, 2010
You're Beautiful is a wholesome, fun, engaging drama about the classic "girl plays boy" scenario. The disks are USA coded, the subtitles are embedded so that they play automatically (and they are in English) and each episode is a full hour of hilarious fun! My sixteen year old niece was immediately interested in the storyline, which focuses on the daily life of a girl named Ko Mi Nyu who is pretending to be her twin brother, Ko Mi Nam. It is a refreshingly innocent experience after shows like True Blood that showcase loose morality and easy sex. There are sixteen episodes and I can guarantee that you will play them one right after the other, just to find out what could possibly happen next! In all, an excellent show with an amazing cast and a very catchy soundtrack that will leave you feeling good in the aftermath.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Truly Wonderful Experience, July 28, 2010
I originally got this through a fansub...and am waiting for my official copy now.
A marvelous cast (the 4 main characters were 21 or younger) in well-developed roles. A somewhat transparent plot, but who cares? It is fun...and, just like most Asian comedies, it will also make you cry. The music is excellent...well beyond the usual K-Pop/J-Pop stuff.
Park Shin-Hye steals the show, with a funny take on gender bender stuff. There are so many hilarious scenes...and so many heartbreaking scenes...but, I don't play the spoiler. Her first vocal effort is also in the show...Lovely Day...and it is a lovely song.
I rank this with Densha Otoko as the best of the J/K-Dramas. Other good titles include Boys Over Flowers and Palace.
After you see this series, you will wonder why US TV sucks as badly as it does.
Just buy it...you WILL not be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful cast, beautiful soundtrack, I love this drama!, July 7, 2010
I'm an American who loves watching foreign drama but I was starting to give the habit up since I had a hard time finding one that would capture my interest when I came across this one gem of a story.
I fell totally in love with "You're Beautiful". The cast was amazing, so much so, that I just couldn't stop watching.
To top it off, the soundtrack made me want to run out and learn Korean asap! The melodies were entrancing and beautiful. The talent in this show was absolutely flawless, from the singing to the acting.
It was funny, heartwrenching and lovely. I'm buying this item. It's well worth the money and the time.
