New drama ‘You’re Beautiful’ is looking good

Well, at least the viewer ratings are looking good, for now.

The long awaited drama starring Lee Hong-ki, Jang Geun-suk, Park Shin-hye and Uee has finally aired on October 7th with viewer ratings at a whopping 10.8%, beating Heading to the Ground by 1.6%. There have been mixed reviews about the drama, some stating that the drama is very comical while others are stating that it’s just plain cheesy.

Nonetheless, it looks like things are looking bright for You’re Beautifulwith 7 MV parodies, filmed by the main cast of the drama, which are scheduled to air as epilogues after each episode. Who wouldn’t want to see Lee Hong-ki as Jessica of SNSD wearing a blonde wig, kill-heels and skinny jeans while strutting his stuff to the tune of SNSD’s Tell Me Your Wish?

The MV parodies of Crying Nut’s “Let’s Ride A Horse“, DJ. DOC’s “Run To You“, Fin.K.L’s “Forever Love“, H.O.T’s “Candy“, Roo’Ra’s “Angel That Lost A Wing“, Seo Taiji and the Boys’ “I know” and last but not least SNSD’s “Tell Me Your Wish“, will definitely be a popularity booster for the drama.

But with the competing Wednesday/Thursday drama, Iris set to broadcast next week on the October 14th, will “You’re Beautiful” be able to keep up its ratings? We’re just going to have to wait and see.

Here’s a 5 minute trailer of “You’re Beautiful” for those that haven’t seen it yet.
