She Was Pretty (2015)

To me this drama was like a breath of fresh air!
It was really easy to watch, funny, simple and without any drama!
At the beginning I have to say that I don't like Kim Hye Jin so much because she reminds me a lot Oh Ah Ni, the main character of Playful Kiss that I really didn't like. I also didn't like very much Ji Seong Joon...
But after few episodes I really changed my mind, she started to be less stupid and he started to be less asshole!
I also really loved the relationship between Kim Hye Jin and Min Ha Ri (even though I hate Ha Ri a little bit sometimes!).
But most of all I ABSOLUTELY LOVED Siwon's character!!! Shin Hyeok was the right person at the right moment and with his goofy, lovely and caring manners was the best! He makes me laugh everytime he was on the screen! So thank you Choi Siwon for accepting this role! You were absolutely perfect for that!

Another character that was absolutely adorable was the Anna Dello Russo's inspired Editor in Chief! she was THE MOST!

Just finished watching She Was Pretty and I read some of the reviews and some were brutal. I on the other hand loved She Was Pretty. It was fun, light, had hysterical moments, super cute kissing scenes, friendship (both sweet and mix in a little betrayal but nothing killer). The characters have great chemistry and I was entertained, I loved the ending and didn't counter any major problems. I loved how once the truth was revealed the characters dealt with it maturely and none of the extra "surprise evil ex girlfriend" or surprise major amnesia episode. I laughed and enjoyed watching everyone in their element. Now I will say that both Kim Shin Hyeok & Kim Hye Jin characters were a little off the charts. They were outrageously quirky and excessive in their character and embellishments but I think it was just who the characters were. Crazyyyyyyyyy and funny in their own way and they marched to the beat of their own drum. They still were enjoyable to watch and their friendship was fun as well. Ji Seong Jun character jerk and jerk and jerk but we all need a bit of a jerk in these films and then we get to peel back the layers to see how truly gorgeous, sexy, amazing and caring he really is. ? I saw Park Seo Joon in "witch's romance" & and I love him even more after watching this drama. I can only hope he is really pleasant and loving in real life as he is in the characters he plays on screen. Min Ha Ri character I wasn't sure if I should love her or dislike her but I think anyone could understand the situation and her feelings . Still their friendship of BFF's was nice to see (girls just wanna have fun). The ending was complete in a sense on the supporting charters but understandable. Loved the ending for the main characters, I thought it was thorough and complete (I cracked up @ the very end). I loved their relationship and connection in the drama. Also liked the co-worker characters, they were a great mix as well. THUMBS UP FOR ME. Enjoyed it all.
Now that I think about it minutes later after posting. It's crazy how the main female is considered ugly. Her only issue was pink cheeks. How is that ugly, kinda sad about what the definition of beauty and ugliness is considered. Would be hard for any female or male with a flaw slight flaw to live comfortably without ridicule on looks or weight. Low self esteem issues, yaHHHHHh.

Just finished watching the finale ep. Its a RomCom, but not enough romance and comedy. haha. I mean, its not to its fullest extent. There were good parts of course. But seriously lacking. For one, there was no chemistry between the male and female lead. Then the comedy part is not all that funny. But one thing I was thankful for is I don't have the 2nd male lead syndrome, which I somewhat always develop. The male lead, sometimes looks good, other times, not. Same with the female lead. Acting was pretty decent. Plot was pretty light. Do I recommend?...Maybe, maybe not.

For me, this drama is neither good nor bad. I know its good points, it made me cry, made me fall for some of the characters, it was a happy ending. But, I also found a lot of flaws that I did not really like. Maybe I was expecting too much for this drama and somehow, I just got disappointed. Halfway through the series, I just wanted to finish all 16 episodes for the sake of all the hours I've spent watching. It was not totally bad and not totally boring but, I cannot say that I enjoyed watching this drama. Towards the end, it feels really dragging.

I've seen people on the internet that really liked the series but maybe it wasn't for me.
I even thought of another flow for the story. Lol

A purely hopeful and bright rom com

She was pretty was like a breath of fresh air that you didn't except, it was this incredibly adorable, precious correlation of sisterly love, romance, humor and dreams. The love between the main girl and her best friend made me cry multiple times, it was so relatable and beautiful. Side Oppa was flawlessly funny and like a Ray of sunshine that followed the main girl everywhere she went. Main Oppa started out very unlikable but by the end all was forgiven. Main girl was anything in the world but remotely ugly which was one of my 2 critics along with the fact that I wish they would've put side oppa and her BFF together. As far as a character goes Main girl was this energetic ball of determination, selflessness and authenticity. She was a true friend and a true positive spirit who never felt sorry for herself or who let her curly hair, or her mild rosasha and freckles stop her from overcoming adversity. Her hideousness would not prevent her from achieving whatever she set her mind to. The storyline hooked me from episode 1. It was so unique and you were always wondering what was going to happen next. Even when I spent days away from the show whenever I would come back it would be like reuniting with an old friend who filled you with such warmth and happiness you forgot why you'd lost touch. All the characters except maybe 1 had great personalities and purpose and even the little side couple made me swoon way more than I thought I would. It was bright, hopeful and 100% recommendable.

Women first, men come later.

Actually, I wanted to write a usual review, but soon it became clear that this is a poorly disguised women's film. This Romcom shows again the old wisdom of the Hopi Indians: "A woman without a man is like a fish without a bicycle!

Although the insidious women's wars because of men everyone knows were fought here too, the author covers everything with women's solidarity. Any problem could probably have been solved immediately if the two girlfriends had married each other instead of competing for men. After all, the FL couldn't quite decide anyway!

Howling separation misery of the two women who will continue to live quite close to each other. A single tear for the beloved fiancé who had to go to America. The viewer would have been spared such misunderstandings, and much more, if women had married.

Also the corny brawn at the end, which was supposed to belatedly bring a romance back to memory.
