/!\ WARNING: This article might contain spoilers !

Whenever I'm watching a drama I sometimes feel like I want to cross the screen of my laptop and play some cameo role (yeah, one must not have too much ambition to start :P) in the scene. So if you're lucky and get the chance to travel to South Korea, you get to live in your favourite drama. I was wondering with what drama I should start, but then it became quite obvious - You'reBeautiful. What Else ? *to be pronounced with the dramatic George's tone* So here we go !

You're beautiful
