'Beauty and Mr. Romantic' brings the good old makjang genre back. Ji Hyun Woo, who plays the curly haired producing director (PD) Go Pil Seung, and Im Soo Hyang, who plays top-billed star Park Do Ra, have a love story that is far more melodramatic than the previous dramas they worked on.
, who plays top-billed star Park Do Ra, have a love story that is far more melodramatic than the previous dramas they worked on. There are plots, sub-plots, and a lavish ensemble of characters who are all entwined with each other. A saga that feels like a telenovela, this show will get you enmeshed into the lives of its characters, evoking emotions of happiness, anger, laughter, as well as disgust. Is it worth your while? It sure is! Here’s what you can expect from the premiere episodes.
Ji Hyun Woo is adorable as the goofy Pil Seung, with his curly mop of hair. His character is totally in contrast to his appearance as the widower dad in “Im Soo Hyang stars as Park Do Ra, the most sought-after actor by drama studios as well as for brand endorsements. Park Do Ra’s story is the classic “rags to riches” tale. Do Ra wants a break—she has been relentlessly working for 15 years nonstop.
You cannot help but feel sorry for Do Ra since this was never the life she wanted. She is suffocated under the spotlight but has to work to support her mother’s extravagant lifestyle. Do Ra has had a tough childhood, and though she hated auditioning, she had little say in the matter. Mi Ja would dress up a 12-year-old Do Ra and make her perform at shady clubs, which is cringe-worthy to say the least. 18-year-old Go Dae Choong was the light of her life, but she was brutally rejected by him.
Does Do Ra even have the courage to stand up for herself, as well as against her mother? Im Soo Hyang’s Do Ra is a naive character and is constantly weighed down by her mother’s emotional blackmail. Though there are times when you wish she’d develop a backbone, you see the first stirrings of rebellion when her actions nearly cost her the stardom she has always aspired for.
