Watching the remake of You're Beautiful, i.e. Ikemen Desu Ne has put me in the mind to rewatch the original and ummmmm ummmmmm ummmmmmm I now have a ridiculous crush on Jang Geun Seok's Tae Kyung and am actually adoring the drama to bits help help help I must be having a brain aneurism.

I think it really helps that I know what to expect (adorablness, shippiness, awesome soundtrack) and what not to expect (deep angst, tight plot, fakecest - I was so sure it would have fakecest, when I watched it the first time around).

OMG.

Brb, shovelling a big slice of crow in my face right now.

Grah.

I want the DVDs now and everything. Have a song from the drama

Seriously, I don't know what's happening to me!

Send heeeeeelp!

Haha welcome to life, i totally dled it just to laugh at it and then I ended up with a bit of a crush on tae kyung and his prissy self. mostly i just find him fun to look at. i wasnt crazy about mi nam but she was okay. shin woo i hated and i thought jeremy was adorable! its such a crazy show, i really wonder how the idea of a nun joining an idol band dressed as a boy, comes into someone's heads.

I always find that crack!tastic dramas that are survive mostly on the OTP (You're Beautiful, Mary, Personal Taste) are always better on a rewatch, because you know it's not deep. You're just in it for the OTP and the fun. Give it and enjoy.

Well, Jang Geun Seok is the best part of that drama, hands down. I am a huge Yonghwa fangirl and even I like Hwang Tae Kyung best. But it's still true that this is a hugely misogynist drama despite it's surface charm. We must never forget that even when we are giddy over TK's pigrabbit hilarity. I'm still side-eyeing the Hong Sisters for this.

Ahaha! You know we love you, Dangermousie! Have some more Tae Kyung. Nom-nom-nom. :D

AAAAAHHHH.... brings back memories..... That was my crack drama last year. Kept on rewatching the whole thing for a few weeks. *facepalm* I even wrote an entry on my LJ because I was sooo into it. Me who doesn't really spam my flist wall. LOL....

i really liked YAB for the first time i watched, mostly because i was searching for some mindless fun and i got what i wanted. but weirdly enough i was often annoyed by go minam/mineyo. i enjoyed minam better with shinwoo than with tae kyung. but my favorite part of the drama was:



for some reason i really loved yoo he yi. she was out evil lady but she wasn’t exactly that evil, plus i couldn't help but find her incredible endearing.

if the hong sister did work on a sequel i think that the bets character to use would be a spin off with either yoo he yi or jeremy.

I'm guffawing right now....welcome to the club, mousie dear :DDDDDDDDDDDDDD

LOL! Never say never, eh? I didn't expect much of YAB save to be entertained and I got that, mostly. I still don't think the 2nd half is up to the beginning though, something got lost along the way. But JGS was rather epic as Tae Kyung even if that type tends to irritat me no end.

Gaaaahhhh! I have to leave for the day so I'll answer your CH messages properly later but I just had to comment when I saw this!

The Japanese remake made me want to rewatch the original as well. I've seen it loads of times but I still laugh like a crazy person at some of the scenes. I'm up to episode 12 and will watch the last 4 soon.

Just a rec if you do indeed buy the dvds....I don't know if it's still available because it was a limited edition but the special edition is actually a director's cut with 2 hours of new footage incorporated into the episodes. Maybe it's available used or something?

Muahahaha! How the mighty have fallen! XD Have some crow!

YAB is the kind of drama that makes you curse yourself as you marathon and giggle your way through each episode!

My favorite scene of all was the "pig chasing Tae Kyung". SO HILARIOUbetS! XD

You know what? I bet that if you tried watching "My Girlfriend is a Gumiho" again, you'd be TOTALLY HOOKED! You would love it!

Haha, there's no shame in this, we have all been there :D! This series was actually a big guilty pleasure of mine, and this post sorta makes me want to rewatch Tae-kyung pig chase scene the drama.
