She Was Pretty (2015)

This isn't bad. A typical rom-com fun story with a great cast and a good OST. I gave it a good 8.5/10. Recommend? YES. A memorable K-Drama series? I'm afraid not. There are many others better. But is this worth a watch? Yes.

The main leads are really good. The female lead is truly a wonderful actor. The male lead is not my cup of tea, but I was able to enjoy his performance. The secondary leads are very very memorable. The support cast did a fantastic job.

The story is decent. The drama is steady in keeping your attention because it is light and fun. No real twist and nothing to upset the audience. I'd say you get what you paid for. Is it obvious? A bit yes, but a fun watch nevertheless.

I'm glad I finished this Drama. I didn't waste my time and I didn't feel upset. It's a good one to binge and a good one to watch with gf or family. A good K-Drama.

A MUST WATCH!!!!!!!!!!! SO WORTH IT

I watched this drama about 2 years ago and I liked it then. For some reason I decided to rewatch it... and let me tell you, it was so much better the second time around. I was laughing to myself at odd hours in the morning as I rewatched it. I loved how the events played out. I didn't hate Min Ha Ri for what she did... in a way, I understood why she did what she did.... and her guilt in the end made her actions worth being forgiven.
There wasn't much skinship between them but the chemistry between the leads was off the charts. I really enjoyed it
I would recommend anyone to watch it. I'm already looking forward to rewatching it again

Pretty amazing Rom-Com to watch!

I have always loved watching Rom-coms. Talking about the drama, the plot is pretty remarkable. And the plot twist, OMG! completely impossible to be guessed. I still can't believe how the writer fooled us into guessing who was the VP and the anonymous writer "TEN". Hwang Jung-Eum aka Kim Hye-Jin was incredibly amazing with her acting skills, expressions, and dialogue delivery and everything was so to the point. Cheers to her. Choi Si-Won the comic actor he was! Salute to him. park Seo-Joon, as always with his charming face and amazing acting skills kept us hooked on his character. What I loved the most was the friendship between Kim Hye-Jin and Min Ha-Ri. the trust and bond they shared were so pure and beautiful!
In all, it was a soothing kind of drama with many sweet messages to help us calm down after a nerve-wracking day.

This K-Drama was one of the best ones i have ever seen. The main thing that made me want to watch this was because it had Park Seo Joon in it. I definitely made the right choice. His acting was brilliant. The chemistry between the two main characters was amazing, they were so perfect together. The story line was also amazing and different to other dramas, mainly one of the reason why i decided to watch it.
Another thing i liked a lot was Choi si won's acting. His whole character made this drama even better and enjoyable to watch.
The only thing i didn't like was that the first episodes were a bit slow as in there wasn't much progress in the story line but around the 3rd episode, the drama started getting better.
I would personally recommend this drama as it is full of: comedy and romance. The actors were all great. I loved watching this drama a lot.

A simple story

It took a lot of time for me to watch this series. Was keeping it in my list for a long time. And after watching this it felt like yes it's a nice one.

I didn't felt like I should have watched it a long time ago. But felt like, okay this is worthy.

The story is pretty pointing and nice. It tells us how important it is to live ourself. I liked how the FL changed herself and they developed herself. Sometimes I was like why she is like that?. Atleast she could do her hair. I mean will someone be like that? Ignoring their own appearance? If course the story is about it. But it felt really unrealistic for me. Will someone be like that for real? on top of that she have a really best friend who is really beautiful and takes care of herself and they are living together. She would have done something to make her at least good. Who would go for a job interview like that? seriously?.

if we exclude these realistic questions and thoughts and watch it yes it's a pretty good story.

jelek dan tidak rapi itu berbeda.

well, di drama ini banyak banget yang aku ga 'srek'. mari dibahas.
karakter cewe protagonis sangat sangat mengganggu, kayak orang bodoh(?). tingkahnya yang ngasal gitu membuat viewers terutama aku jadi kek 'hah apasi' dan gini, bedain jelek sama ga rapi. nah dia disini jelek karena ga rapi, rambut awut awutan. bole kok rambut keriting, banyak diluar sana yang berambut keriting tapi cantik bangettt. ini masalahnya kayak ga disisir sama sekali. paling tidak pakai gel rambut lah biar rapi. semisal dirumah okelah, tapi ini kan di kantor, harus tau tempat dong. mungkin kalau aku punya rekan kerja kayak fl risih banget.
nah, yang aku herannya lagi, tempat si fl bekerja itu adalah perusahaan fashion. come on. FASHION. dan cara berpakaian dia seperti ga bekerja di perusahaan fashion. ah sudahlah.
dan bener si cewe berubah jadi 'cantik' karena pertama, dia smoothing rambutnya. kedua, bukan operasi melainkan wajahnya cuma ditimpa bedak. dan ketiga, lebih fashionable. CUMA ITU. dari awal juga bisa dirubah, dianya aja mungkin yang males. nangis banget lah w. tapi jujur ya, waktu fl reveal makeover-an dirinya, itu benar benar menjatuhkan ekspektasi ku. aku langsung kayak 'uda gini doang?' sorry to say, rasaku lebih cantik dia yg sebelumnya.
oke, sekarang ke si male lead. geram juga ke ml di beberapa scene, dia memperlakukan bawahannya benar benar kejam, aku aja ikut sakit hati bangettt. dia baik cuma sama cewe yang dia suka. ck ck.
akting male second lead si keren si, tapi sampai ep berapa gitu, aku baru tau ternyata dia male scl. selama ini ngira scl nganggep fl kyak temen doang karena dari sifatnyakayak ga nampak suka gitu. tapi bagusla, male scl deserve better.
tapi dibalik semua itu, ini drama santai yang lucu. jokes nya masih bisa buat aku tertawa. kalau kalian bosen bisa banget nonton ini untuk mengisi waktu luang. cukup menghibur. aku nulis ini semata mata hanya untuk dramanya. ga sampai ke real life ngebully. ya dan belum tentu juga aku bisa bikin karya kayak begini.
uda segitu aja, rasaku judulnya aja yang kurang tepat, mungkin bisa diganti 'she was tidy'.
hehe, bercanda.

Amo este drama

Es uno de mis dramas favoritos. Es de mis comedias románticas favoritas.

Llega a ser muy muy divertido, casi llegando a causarte vergüenza por todo lo que la protagonista pasa. Tiene el nivel de romance adecuado para suspirar y hacer que tu corazoncito se caliente. Te hace sentir mucha intriga por lo que puede pasar. Y te hace amar a todos los personajes y sentir empatía por ellos.

Es un drama muy muy bueno. Los personajes están a otro nivel, el OST me encanta y la historia es demasiado tierna. Ese final me dejó suspirando y sonriéndole a la pantalla.

Casi me meo encima con este drama

En primer lugar, este drama tiene bastantes momentos de humor del bueno, de ese que hace que te salga una carcajada que puede llegar a durar 1 minuto o más. Me ha gustado que los momentos graciosos no solo estuviesen concentradoes en las interacciones de los protagonistas, sino también en los personajes secundarios , que también han tenido sus historias.

Después, como siempre y con dramas con tramas del mismo estilo que esta me ha decepcionado un poco. Basicamente porque la protagonista era pintada como los demas como la chica menos atractiva y seductora del mundo. Y simplemente era una chica, que por motivos economicos y prioridades vestía de una forma más sencilla y no se peinaba bien. A parte de eso era una chica de lo más normal que para nada era fea.

Para acabar, no puedo decir mucho porque se consideraría spoiler pero no me ha gustado para nada el final. Me parece muy poco lógico.

Beautiful Romantic Comedy

Perfect for the times when you need something simple and sweet as there isn’t even a villain or nasty jealousy in this drama.

Typical for these types of drama, there is a high degree of coincidences which lead to many characters somehow bumping into each other and getting intertwined with each other. It was well done and created many feel good moments especially how the second ML tries to help our the FL.

It was nice to see that the story didn’t go overboard in the beginning when there was friction between the ML and FL. The tension created here was much better than in Secret Garden as the ML here was basically just reprimanding the FL for her mistakes which came about as she was afraid of being found out. Once she stopped making those bumbling mistakes, the scolding stopped too.

For most parts, I found the FL’s acting enjoyable to watch especially the warm moments with her best friend, her nervousness and clumsiness and her touching moments with the ML. Unfortunately, I found her loud yelling behaviour to be out of character. It was a big stretch for us to believe that she developed this rough loud behaviour just because her family became poor. If she ended up mixing with people who had this behaviour, it would have been understandable, but her best friend whom she lives with has a ladylike personality.

I enjoyed many of the conversations in this drama as it was open and honest. Watching the ML tell the FL why he loves her made my heart melt. There was some self sacrifice and misunderstanding but thankfully not too much. One stand out scene for me was when the ML and FL had a long phone conversation talking about everything under the sun - very real and brought back fond memories of my own experiences.

The ending was not rushed and nicely stretched out with a few interesting elements. This drama left me feeling good and happy.

I thought this would be very heavy on the topic of insecurity and social standards of beauty, which would have made this a really heavy watch (like My ID is Gangnam Beauty), but this was actually a really light rom-com from start to finish.

None of the conflicts really stressed me out, except for maybe how harshly the male lead treated the FL at the start. It was understandable though, KHJ is really over-the-top clumsy at the start for a few episodes, and I'm sure that put a lot of people off. But her character ended up having one of the largest hearts I'd ever seen, especially when it came to her relationship with her friend.

That was the best part, undoubtedly. You don't see a lot of sismance in dramas, and with the way the plot played out, I was worried we wouldn't see it in this one either. But the characters actually were really mature about dealing with issues, and you could tell that the two best friends had such a powerful bond with one another despite some real missteps.

I know a lot of people had SLS in this one, and I thought I would too; I'm a huge fan of the goofy, weird ML. But the second lead was a little too immature for my liking, and the male lead was pretty soft as well — main lead's character was just more intriguing to me.

With that being said, there were a few subplots in the drama but they felt oddly lacking in development and detail: Hye-Jin's sister could have been so much more than "I don't want to be ugly like my sister," Ha-Ri's family issues could have been paced better, and the whole "who is Ten" felt very forcefully thrown in.

With that being said, I still really liked how they went about the first love situation. I was worried it would become one of those fate and destiny tropes, but I was really glad they didn't do it like that. The characters simply fell for one another a second time, and it was really beautiful to watch.
