Lee Hong Ki in Upcoming Drama: Muscle Girl

I have to say, I practically screamed out loud when I saw this article...

F T Island's Lee Hong Ki to Star in Upcoming Drama Muscle Girl

I'm so incredibly excited I'm about to pee my pants....but let's drift away from that. A few months ago when I watched Lee Hong Ki play the funloving part of Jeremy in the Korean Romantic comedy along with Jang Geun Suk and actress Park Shin Hye, I was completely dumbfounded by his adorable personality.

This drama, however, isn't Korean...it's Japanese! So therefore, it makes me wonder...are we going to get the chance to hear Hong Ki speak Japanese? or...is he just going to speak Korean with a translator or an understudy?

According to some news websites, the first episode aired on April 19. However, unfortunately I do not obtain the skill of being able to speak or comprehend Korean, or Japanese for that matter, so I guess I'll just have to wait for the subs to come out...I guess I really should catch up on my Korean! 

  

The female role in this comedy is played by Ichikawa Yui. From the photos in news articles, our heroine in this upcoming drama is downright gorgeous. It definitely makes me jealous! I can't wait to watch the first episode! I hope it won't be a disappointment!

You're Beautiful: Just Lovely

I really had a good time watching You're Beautiful. I was captured from the beginning. Honestly, I don't personally like gender benders, but this one was an exception. There were a couple spots that were iffy, but overall I thought it was pretty good. I do have to congratulate the cast of You're Beautiful for an amazing job of showing truly how important it is to have people by your side, whether it's bandmates, family, or friends.

Park Shin Hye plays a clumsy teenage girl studying to become a nun, in the countryside of modern Korea. However, her brother, Go Mi Nam, is pursuing to become a famous singer so that he will be able to find his mother. After some funny events, Go Mi Nyu pretends to be her brother so that he can pursue his dreams. While she's there, she meets the bandmates of A.N.Jell: Hwang Tae Kyung, Jeremy, and Kang Shin Woo. Personally, I love Jeremy the most- he's so adorable and funloving. I also think that Lee Hong Ki did a fantastic job of playing Jeremy, which also is a lot like his personality in real life (at least from what he shows to the public, hmm...) Go Mi Nam ends up caught by Shin Woo and Tae Kyung, and concludes in her getting involved in a complicated love triangle, but leaning towards the cold neatfreak Tae Kyung.

Throughout the entire drama, there's a lot of extreme humor, which I happen to be a huge fan of, and huge exxagerations, but hey, I'm not complaining. Go Mi Nam, (or Mi Nyu, which is who it really is) goes through a lot of difficult situations, but with the help of her bandmates, she is able to get through them. However, what originally began as Shin Woo liking Mi Nam, then turning into a love triangle with Tae Kyung, ends up in Jeremy liking her too! But in the end, like how all dramas end, Mi Nyu ends up with Tae Kyung.

Overall, I really enjoyed this drama and had a lot of laughs, but I think that Jang Geun Suk could've done a much better job in playing Tae Kyung, but that's just my opinion. This story is truly a great one with a big pot of jealousy, innocence, love, and the importance of family.
