So, I tracked the show and followed it from its’ release to its finale. The trailer was cute and funny with some serious tones too.
Now and then, I would give KDramas with interesting premises a shot.īack in July, when I’ve rekindled my relationship with the Rising Gods of the East (TVXQ!) which lead me to look up video clips of them on YouTube, a trailer of a Korean Drama that popped up as an ad caught my attention with an intriguing premise – a drama that features a girl who undergone plastic surgery to fit in. Since college, I’ve only exclusively watched dramas of actors which I favour (sure, eye candies, and actors who has impressed me). Enjoy Cha Eun’s voice as he sings Rainbow Falling.My exposure to Korean Dramas isn’t extensive as the few I have watched weren’t memorable, sometimes even disappointingly cliché. My personal favourites areSomething and D-Day and Always You. They were simple, smart and totally chic. I personally loved the clothes of Cha Eun- Woo. The “Tops” worn by the girls are interesting. I could never get tired of watching the college crowd attire. He is a member of the K-pop boy band Astro Also named by Billboard as one of the best new K-pop groups of the year 2016.
This is Cha Eun woo’s first leaing role in a TV series.
The My ID is Gangnam Beauty Korean drama Series is based on the popular webtoon of the same name.
Interestingly not all couples end up as enemies post rejection or break up. It is cute to watch college kids having first crushes & proposals and then rejected or accepted. Kang Mi-rae, on the other hand continues to feel inferior because she has done a surgery. Do Kyung-seok, though very good looking himself, likes Kang Mi-rae only for her nature and does not care about her looks ( past and current). It is a fresh prespective on how different people perceive physical looks. Also, one of the reasons you will most likely binge watch this series. The chemistry is subtle and gets you curious and waiting to see how these two will eventually end up together. No guesses on this one… the chemistry is on from the very first episide. The chemistry between the timid Kang Mi-rae and the self assured Do Kyung-seok sets the pace for the series. My ID is Gangnam Beauty Korean drama Series will any-day be one of the top contenders in the list of best Korean drama romantic genre. The youthful supporting cast adds flavour to the drama. You will feel nostalgic looking at the class rooms, labs and canteen. This Korean series is set in a lush green and beautiful college campus. Interestingly, he is also Do Kynug-seok’s room mate. He finds Kang Mi-rae pretty and falls for her. He is the college senior and a teaching assistant. She also goes to any extent of spoiling others’ chances at being happy just to stay in the limelite.The second male lead is Kwak Dong-yeon as Yeon Woo-young. She acts as Kang Mi-rae’s friend but pulls her down and shames her for plastic surgery at every opportunity.
Jo Woo-ri as Hyun Soo-ah is the second lead and the college beauty. Things get tougher for Kang Mi-rae when she is called plastic beauty found in Gangnam when her college mates find out about her plastic surgery. Kang Mi-rae on the other hand, struggles to accept her new popular self. She gets bullied to the extent that she decides to undergo a surgery just to be able to lead a “normal” life like any other youth of her age.ĭo Kyung -seok though very good looking, does not pay too much importance to physical looks and likes Kang Mi-rae for her kind nature. Kang Mi-rae is bullied and humiliated throughout her school days because she is very unattractive. Do Kyung -seok is a bit of loner a person of few words owing to the fact that his parents were seperated during his school days. He also was incidentally in her class during her middle school. Her classmate, is Do Kyung-seok (Cha Eun-woo) the college heart-throb. The story is set during Kang Mi-rae ( Im Soo-hyang) freshman years in college, post her plastic surgery.
