My ID is Gangnam Beauty
Plot:
Mini Review:
↬Scrolling through Drama
Recommendation Lists, randomly decided to pick this one up and binged watched
this Gem of a Series. While airing, unaffected by the hype created by the drama
(mostly because I had watched Astro in various variety shows since debut, thus
Cha Eun Woo seemed too familiar to imagine him as a Rom-Com lead), but really glad I gave it a try, better late than
never.
↬The story is quite apparent from
the plot, what I really liked was the writer showed both positive and negative opinions,
instead of trying to highlight on a certain point of view.
The show could have been any
other youth/college romance stories, but the situations, remarks, and a varied
range of characters in the series, made it familiar and relatable. At least
once, everyone has come across situation or remarks like these.
↬The Leads Kang Mi Rae (Im Soo Hyang) and Do Kyung Suk (Cha Eun Woo) were written
as characters having less experience in social situations, both for individual
circumstances and not for once did they feel awkward or stiff (According to some
reviews). A sudden transformation in social skills would have been more unrealistic.
Their chemistry also very likable (never thought I would be fangirling over Cha
Eun Woo)
↬Also I really
liked Jo Woo Ri who played Hyun Soo Ah, though portrayed in a negative sense;
she had the best skills and made it easy for me to hate her. And for the
supporting casts, each one of them did so well, instead of drama characters
they made it seem like an actual college setup.
Ending Notes:
🔺Give it a try it’s
a really nice show and in case already watched, let’s keep on recommending it to
others.
🔺Was already a
fan of Im Soo Hyang, glad to add Cha Eun Woo to the list (Check out HandsomeTigers!)
🔺Also as the
series shows, changing world view can be slow and difficult but we can always
try by accepting ourselves as we are as the first step. Hwaiting to everyone!
