Hello, it’s
Ms. Lee Min Ho with another review for you today. So, todays review is about Ikemen Desu ne also known as He’s Beautiful. This Japanese drama is a
remake form the very popular Korean Drama Your
Beautiful which came out in 2009. The drama came out on July 15, 2011 and
ended on September, 2011; it has 11 episodes and each one is less than 50
minutes long. I liked the drama it did an astonishing job on remaking it but it
was very short and because of that many things had to be cut out to fit the 11
episodes.
Mio
Sakuraba had an interview to be able to get in the most famous group in Japan
A.N.JELL. But he was stuck in the states because of a noise surgery he had to
go through. So, his manger decides to go find his twin sister Miko Sakuraba so
she could cross dress as her brother. She decides to do it thinking it was only
for one day but no it was about 1 month. The leader of A.N.JELL doesn’t really
like her and he ends up finding about her secret. What will happen to her
secret as soon as he knows?
I
really enjoyed this drama it was as great as the original one in my opinion and
it did a great job on not changing many things from the Korean version. Miori Takimoto who plays the twins Mio and
Miko Sakuraba did a fantastic job she really did manage to act exactly the same
as the original character but once again she looks super girly even dressed as
a boy but her acting was fantastic. Ren
Katsuragi played Yuta Tamamori also acted the same as the original character
you could see that he watched the Korean version and study the character because
of that he was able to get his personality on the spot. I actually liked him
better than the Korean version mostly because I thought he was cuter I know I shouldn’t
judge on looks hahaha. Shu Fujishiro played by Taisuke Fujigaya did a good job I
liked Yonghwa better personally I felt that he gave his character more of a
mature feel to him but Fujigaya did a really great job but wasn’t my favorite character
in this drama. I was kind of disappointed with Yuki Hong played by Hikaru
Yaotome because he didn’t act as cute as Hong Ki acted and I expected a little
more from his character. I felt that he could have acted a little better but he
didn’t act terrible. One of my favorite characters who wasn’t really important
to the drama was Toru played by Tanoshingo becasues he was freaking adorable
and he bugged Hongo about being gay which I thought was just so cute hahaha. I wasn’t
disappointed with this drama at all it was practically a perfect replica of the
original one and they were able to portray my favorite scene of the drama which
was when Fujishiro following Mio and telling her were to go through the phone
and I felt that I was just rewatching it again but with different actors. I was
kind of mad that when Yuki Hongo was crying in the bus because he didn’t start
singing that happy song I felt that the song is what really made the scene and
the reason why people liked it. But, I was happy that when he got out of the
bus he actually made himself happy again even though it had to be super hard
for him. Overall, the drama did an amazing job even though so many parts had to
be cut out so it could fit all the 11 episodes but drama was very delightful
and amusing.
I give
this drama a 7.7 out of 10 monohorns because it wasn’t as good as the first one
and because they didn’t add one of my favorite parts to the drama which took
the sad affect away from it. But, overall it was super good and followed the original
drama. It also introduced me to two new Jpop groups which are Kis-My-Ft2 and Hey Say Jump! I will recommend this drama to anyone who wants a
romance and gender bender. Thanks for reading our blog please check out my

Beautiful.
