Drama Review: She Was Pretty (그녀는 예뻤다)
Happy New Year! Sorry for not posting for a while since things got hectic as we neared the end of the fiscal year. I wish that 2017 will be a better year for all of us. Amen.
Anyway, I did try to listen to a new album of a group that I like but I'm not really that ecstatic about it to do a review so I am sharing another drama review. This is the last drama I've finished for 2016 so hopefully I do get to finish more dramas this year because my Korean is getting rusty.
This is the last drama Siwon did before he went to the army and his only drama that I watched until the end. Just to let you know, Choi Siwon who played the second male lead in this drama is my bias from the popular Kpop male group, Supe Junior. The drama is entitled She Was Pretty.
Synopsis from Asianwiki:
When Sung-Joon (Park Seo-Joon) was young, he was ugly and fat. He also didn't have any friends, but popular and pretty Hye-Jin (Hwang Jung-Eum) became his friend. She gave him comfort on rainy days when Sung-Jung feels traumatised. They held a special connection with each other, but Sung-Joon and his father moved to the United States. 15 years later, Sung-Joon returns to South Korea. He and Hye-Jin are set to meet again for the first time in many years, but Hye-Jin is unable to show herself in front of Sung-Joon who is looking for her. Both of their appearances have completely changed. Sung-Joon is now handsome and perfect in his appearance, while Hye-Jin looks nothing like her former pretty self. Hye-Jin is also unemployed and looking for a job.
Hye-Jin then asks her best friend Ha-Ri (Koh Joon-Hee) for help. Ha-Ri is to pretend she is Hye-Jin and go meet Sung-Joon. At their meeting, Ha-Ra pretends to be Hye-Jin and tells Sung-Joon that she is leaving for England the next day to study.
Later, Hye-Jin, as an intern at a fashion magazine, meets Sung-Joon who is an editor at the fashion magazine.
Spoiler Alert: Sorry I can't help but share my favorite episode since it really made an impression on me. My most favorite episode is episode 7. It had tender moments when Seong Joon spent some time with Hye Jin in Gangwon-do. It was also the episode when Shin Hyuk realized that he liked Hye Jin and when he told her, she didn't believe him because of a trick he played on her. I also liked the cliffhanger ending and how Seong Joon develops feelings for the real Hye Jin.
This is the breakout role for Park Seo-Joon as the male lead and I actually developed a crush on him after watching this 😊.
On that note, I definitely recommend this drama as it is light and the storyline is consistent. This is one of the best dramas for 2015.
