You are beautiful ep 15 review

Happy Thanks giving!!!
Dont get too stuffed by the turkey! heeee heee

Everyone must have seen episode 15 by now.... Surprisingly, it wasnt much of a roller coaster ride for me. I wasnt overly overwhelmed, maybe because I kind of expect things to come.

So the truth is out. TK's mum used money to buy the rights to sing the song that GMN's dad had composed for GMN's mum, to prevent them from reuniting.
*gasps of horror and disgust*

And because she was so irate that another artist had leaked that the song wasnt intended for her, TK's mum looked the old guy up and had a major "disagreement" with him. As such that was how the squabble got to TK and him learning the whole truth from a 3rd party. Tk was so furious that he stormed into the recording studio and "confronted" his mum, spilling the whole naked truth in her face, revealing the web of lies the mum had spun for herself and to him. The mum broke down in tears while TK went in search of GMN in a hurry.

I like the aquarium scene in Japan when TK was set up to meet GMN to pass her a picture of her mum. I love how GMN (rather than taking it all in as usual) for a change, painfully stood up to TK's snide remarks about her "getting along happily with the woman who wants to be her step mum". She (fairly) questioned Tk's jibes openly, and reminding him his selfishness for only thinking about his own hurt, thus neglecting the feeling and emotions of people around him (referring to her own hurt). I am glad GMN put it all out there and "wake" TK up from his little well of personal grief, that others are victims suffering for his mum's actions as well apart from him.


On another note, I do admire TK's personality, in the middle of all the grief and pain, he never forgot about GMN's pain of never knowing her mother. The fact that he even bothered to ask his mum (the person he hate the most) for details on GMN's mum goes to show he isnt beyond redemption and consumed by hatred and forget everyone else. It shows the side where his love for GMN supersede his negativity against his mum. One thing HTK isnt, that is he isnt a petty and narrow minded person despite all the skewed childhood he had suffered. For that, I applaud him as a man.

The only feeling I am firm about is that TK's mum is an obnoxious piece of shit. She not only rob TK of his precious childhood, abandoning him and ruining his esteem and all. She even LIED about the truth thus ruining his first love for him, so that the queen bitch herself can wallow in her dream fantasy world where she is being loved. She used money to try to "buy" a non existent love and even fabricate stories and twist the tale so much to her son and GMN. She would rather HURT both of them then face the truth... She is such a incurable, pathetic, self delusional person that honestly deserves no sympathy. If it wasnt enough that she caused the death of GMN's mum, she is willing to sacrifice her son's love intentionally. No remorse, no guilt...only sorry tears for herself even till the last moment.

The garden scene where TK apologise to GMN was touching but hmmmmm...it didnt quite do it for me in the sense that I didnt really get sucked in. Was it my own emotional barrier defense at work? Or the unnatural trying too hard to be "artistic shot" ruined it for me?



Despite all, I did feel TK is rather pitiful when he said sorry and tried to hold on tightly (and weeping uncontrollably) to GMN's hand as she was departing..




When GMN said she cannot say everything is ok now for her but will let him know once she is alright no matter how many years down the road sounded really depressing to me.... Maybe I was still fuming over the lying mum too much, not enough calming down to feel sad for HTK. The only thought that persistently went thru my head in that scene was "Yeah IT's ALL YOUR MUM"S fault!!! She ruined your love for you! She hurt GMN for her selfish reasons." Damn....

There are a few extra scene in here which I thought was unnecessary and border on draggy. The part where the manager Ma and the makeup artist were "conspiring" about settig GMN with Jeremy and shinwoo was rather unessential. I took those romantic scene matching Jeremy and Shinwoo with GMN was excessive and wasting roll of film. Maybe it is to satisfy the segments of fans out there but I questioned the validity of it in the super high climax moments. It might have worked better in the earlier episodes, now, these scenes are kinda irrelevant for me since TK and GMN has already acknowledged their feelings for each other.

Another scene I didnt appreciate was how rude the reporter was, trying to reveal GMN as a woman. Does he think that by "undressing" a woman in public is acceptable behavior? What was he trying to do? If the fake GMN was wearing a shirt, was he going to expose the bra out to prove she is a girl? Ridiculous. The actions are over the top and I cannot concur with the script writing here.

On the other hand, the finalisation between Tk and Uhey.
TK is a very perceptive person. I like how he handled Uhey's confession.


He is spot on about how Uhey will feel (humiliated) if he actually acknowledged and reject her true feeling... so he let her down in a "gentle" way and asking her to take care before walking off. TK is a very kind and gentle soul no matter what happens, such a far cry from his self-centered mother. Also, I am glad after he has calmed down and listened to GMN's words in the aquarium, and realised his earlier cold outburst was uncalled for since he had completely negated and ignored GMN's feeling in that split seconds, hurting her more... (however I like the part where he was still jealous and making snide remarks to GMN like a boy throwing tantrum..and GMN was like a weary teacher asking him to get on with things..haaa...)

We should have all know that GMN dad would not have begged TK's mum since other wise he would have left GMN in her care rather than with GMN's auntie.

Is it just me or why did they make GMN sing so badly in the karaoke? She was completely out of beat with the tune. Isnt she supposed to be a good singer, why does she sound so amateurish there? It's funny how TK tried to deny his own feelings and finally coming to terms that he simply cannot just NOT see GMN, thus dashing out of teh van in search of his pig rabbit. We can all witness his devotion to GMN....how sweet.

Oh, another thing. I hate the red jacket he wore. It's so 80's for me and just doesnt suit him. I love him in the black jacket with the white shirt wth black tipped collar (the one in the aquarium). That is the best attire suit on him. That red jacket is such a dated look... doesnt do it for me. Luckily his face alone is suave enough to compensate for the bad suit.

ok, nothing much more to write for this episode. The truth of the parents are out, the real GMN is back. Now what is left is TK to be reunited with GMN! Does the real GMN even know how TK and his sister feel for each other? How does he react to it? the real GMN is not after Uhey is he?!!! It will be soo bizarre!!!

A little thought:
while the sight of the aquarium was beautiful and spectacular, I felt sad because of the captive whales swimming in the tank at the background...i just felt they shouldnt be there but in the wide open sea, in the wild where they call home...oh well... just me and my anti-whaling and anti-captivity thingie...



PS:
sorry if the review is a little jumbled up in sequence...my thoughts are not really on track now , so i'm just "scribblin whatever afterthoughts" that came into my mind...

You are beautiful ep14 review

.........
........
......

I was laughing and grinning so much at the start of the episode but as it progressed towards the end, I started to get sad and depressed.

watch raw
part 1



The most unbelievable scene is the starting scene where TK whispered the "i like you" confessions to GMN at the carpark (after being interrupted by the fangirls). Can I believe it?


He must really really really really really really really really like GMN to do something sooooooooo uncharacteristic of him. I did a doubletake. I DO of course expect him to say it, but later (after they spend more time together), not sooner as of now. Then again, I guess he was feeling insecure that GMN might "run off" if he doesnt make his feelings clear since he has been on the receiving end all along.


However I laughed out loud immediately when he said "Such a mushy line, I will never say it (more than once)/ again" while alone in the car alone spying at GMN's reaction at the bus stop.

As for GMN, she behaves exactly at how a girl will react!!! Haaa haaa haaaa, the disbelief, the self doubt (did i really hear it correctly?), and the floating to cloud 9 and laughing out loud to her self regardless of the funny stares....i was grinning sooo hard thinking GMN, u are the cutest and luckiest girl alive!

I dont quite get the part where he was asking GMN what does she want to eat for lunch. I am alittle dense as I dont get the humour or the implications behind it. She hiccuped when he asked if she wants spaghetti. Then he went on to ask if she like the ribs etc. Suddenly he declared he like Sushi...and was pleased when GMN replied she liked it alot. Is there something I am missing? However, What really caught my attention here wasnt the conversation, but the part where TK was "supposedly" to be driving, it's so unreal and "distracting".. since in reality, he will never be moving the steering wheel so much on a STRAIGHT road!! I thought it was quite funny because any real driver will tell your hand will hardly move the steering wheel. Ok, that's just me too engrossed in every minute, every scene.....

At the sushi place, it was funny how TK was "bullying" GMN saying that he wants the tuna and eel as an "exchange" for the shrimp and crab stick sushi she had taken from him. GMN's pouting reluctant expression was classically cute!!!! She did it sooooo well!!! TK really dotes her too giving in to her rather quickly seeing her pout. It's adorable how he mumbles to himself that he is going to get points deducted soon i he carry on like that, and questioned to himself "why on earth am I so obsessed with the whole "points" thingie" ..haaaaa haaaa haaaa!

Back at the office, Director ma was obviously still such a muddle head reprimanding TK for interfering things between GMN and shinwoo. It was even roaring-ly hilarious when TK decided to once and for all "announced" the truth to the manager. It was priceless when TK looked at the manager with a proud smirk and said "Director Ma, look carefully/properly." before hugging GMN.
When the hug ended with TK successfully demonstrating GMN's pig nose is for HIM, it tickled me so much when he said "There, did you see that?" to Ma Director while having that gleeful "There! It's ME she likes!" expression as he walked off leaving those shell shock adults behind.

of course this is where the sad scene starts when Jeremy overheard GMN's confessions about liking TK.

This has to be the most touching part, where Jeremy confessed his feelings to GMN in the bus. My god....even I felt like crying. My nose was feeling a little uncontrollably sniffy, and my eyes were kinda welling up but not exactly crying when he said "Why? I have only let you in on the secret of this bus. I have ever only let you hold on to Jolie's leash...(sob sob)and I was only gonna sing only for u...(sob sob) why...why dont you like me?" His raw emotions are really real. I could feel for him as he went from disbelief, followed by the "This is MY bus, get off" petulant anger, to his acceptance of the situation displayed how mature Jeremy is.
Jeremy with much effort finished his "promised" singing the "love song" on air despite the agony he was in, goes to show how professional he is as an artist!!! The scene is just so heartbreaking.... I was going "please dont cry jeremy" in my head.. (i am going crazy talking to myself so much)

Emotionally, sure he is also being prone to being angry and hurt (being human) but he isnt fragile and reserved like Shinwoo, on the contrary, Jeremy was more upfront and realistic, he neither clings nor dwells on a cast-and-concrete situation, thus handling the whole situation better which deserves standing ovation.
What he said to GMN towards the end of the bus ride "When I alight the bus, everything will go back as to before, so if you dont forget what I said in the bus, I can never return to the original point", and "resuming" back to treating GMN as a boy takes courage and determination. At that moment he had my full respect. Despite hurting inside, harbouring un-reciprocated feelings, yet he doesnt want to impose his feelings at GMN's expense, so he rather go back to pretending as if he never knew. It takes effort I know, which is why Jeremy is the BEST! Some may see it as escaping from reality but I think it is a very good healing process... truthfully, I could really relate to Jeremy ...... :)

When TK finished recording, he must be hopping mad that GMN went to sleep without "missing him" It seems like TK is even more addicted to GMN than she is to him. He even woke her up and dragged her to the movies pretending he needed her eyes to see in the dark! It was soooo funny when he let the cat out of the bag while choosing the seats and GMN went "You can see in the dark?" when he tried to lead her to another seat in the middle, after he veto all her earlier choices! Haaaaa! Ooops HTK, you are caught red handed! I like to think he is red from blushing in the dark:)

Tk was obviously exhausted after long day of work, but he wanted to spend time with GMN so much that he rather sleep in the movies with her, while having his hands over hers. Sooooo sweet!

The scene where it made me happiest was after the movie, where TK pretended to prepare GMN to be knuckled by him (so that he can "assist" her to see more stars. he reckon GMN will see 5 stars circling after the hit), but it was a fake move where he actually kissed her by surprise.

As TK is expected to behave, halfway through, he stopped and even told GMN not to make that pig nose. With that, he continued to kiss her without further ado, and GMN for once closed her eyes to be kissed... Funny !!! Brilliant!!! *clap clap*

Of course I dont believe (find it hard to believe) a single word TK's mum spewed. I dont believe GMN's dad would abandon her mum for such a heartless bitch. GMN's mum is right, no way the dad would return to such a woman. It's still alittle hard to accept she is willing to see her son endure so much pain and anguish over her selfishness by forcefully letting him know the bitter truth - GMN's identity just like that. No matter what her reasons might be, it's a terible way to treat your own child. It's interesting how she views TK as an object of "use" and yet it grates her nerves to see him being with GMN, a child of THAT woman. She is not seeing TK as a person, she is seeing him as part of herself, her property....She really is a petty, narrow minded, self-absorbed dying woman.

As GMN desperately rushed after TK back to the office, she begged TK to hear her out. However TK choose to (understandably) bombard her with questions as to when did GMN know the truth of his mum, when did she know her dad was the composer etc. As I saw TK's eyes redden, and GMN trying to get TK to listen to her in vain, a sense of dread and foreboding overwhelm me...



For TK, I think he is too consumed by his own "hatred" and "grief" and "resentment" that he isnt viewing the whole situation clearly. He is acting out of reactive anger and shock, and not the usual calm cool collected thinking HTK. It is kinda sad how his mother is preventing happiness in his life, and how he is still unconsciously allowing his mum to "interfere" how he leads his life. I hope subsequently he will either give GMN a chance to explain, or someone will reveal the whole truth. Please come to realisation soon that GMN is worthy of your love and everything is a fabrication spun in your mum's head!!! (at least I hope sooooo) Ok..still too depressed over the last scene where everyone is crying or controlled sorrow...

Now as we march on towards the truth of the complicated relationship...my heart goes all out for TK, GMN and Jeremy. (Sorry shinwoo, I STILL dont feel too much for your state of mind.I will root for your recovery but I just simply cannot connect with you...)

I need to take a walk to calm my heaving emotions...

Girls...anyone...talk to me... I am drowning.... :(

You are Beautiful Ep 13 Review

After thoughts

This episode had me feeling sooooo high and happy and almost fainting with joy!!! It just gets better and better!! I screamed so loudly, I clapped my hands like crazy, and I laughed till my jaw ache... I LOVE THIS episode!!!!

Watch raw
part 1
part 2
part 3

part 7

Watch English sub
Viikii Part 1

To begin with, I just have to give it to TK (or rather the script writers!)... he simply come out with the BEST unexpected lines (for me at least!).

"Of course it's a little weird and strange but it still felt alright/ good. GMN I am a man (destined to be) loved/adored by millions, to be loved is my "profession". No it's no biggie if I simply add one more person (you) into my adoring fan club, it wont affect me/ change much. So u can like someone like me."

He just doesnt deviate from his "true nature" when GMN asked if she can really like him...He had to reply with his usual cool "haughty" look that makes the whole delivery so lovable and funny because we know the meaning behind those words and he is actually delirious with joy.

It was even funnier when he cock his head to one side and went "Huh FAN?" when he realised he had miscalculated GMN's reaction and his coolness had backfired on him, and that GMN had misunderstood his lines and thanked him profusely for allowing her to like him as one of the fan. That expression had me laughing so hard!!! Reminds me of a clueless puppy that got lost. haaaaaa

And when he finally hugged her (i Luuuuurve huggies), I LOVE his expression of subdued controlled joy when he told her she is a very special fan and she should feel doubly honoured/ flattered. That wicked grin is soooo cute!!! he looks as if xmas has come early and he got the present he wanted! I am swooning......

The next scene when he was in the car had me hooting with laughter.




I cannot believe he actually would "lie" about liking sour stuff (GMN mention the mandarin was too sour and she wont offer him but true to his nature, he lied that he liked sour lime, so she must let him try the mandarins) so that he can trick GMN to hand feed him the mandarin. he is soooo like a little boy there!!!

When he came out with all those excuses (so that he can get fed) like "dont you know driving at night time is already a challenge for me?" and "My hands need to be consistently on the steering wheel" just earned himself a notch higher in my "cuteness ranking".

I laughed even harder when innocent gullible GMN actually believed lying "tactics" and replied "Oh i didnt know u like sour stuff, then i shall endeavour to pick the most sour mandarin for you!!!" I was practically floored at her whole-hearted conviction and determination vs TK's shock of another backfired moment from acting too cool! haaaa

Haaaaa. And when he was cheering GMN on with the hairclip, I thought was rather romantically sweet.

The most important line that I come to love in this episode that sums up TK's feelings the best was when he grabbed her by her shoulders and stared at GMN into the eyes and proclaimed "I have always seen you as a woman." I am so glad that he was so reassuringly honest and candid. I like that gesture because while it's not a saccharine sickly sweet move, but its a simple thought that conveys a million heartfelt warmth and feelings..

When Shinwoo came to take GMN away and threw that line to TK "She is my woman from now on" , I was like "Arsehole!!!"Do u really have to do that? Ok ok....frankly, I can totally understand why he said that in that heated moment of jealousy and still having to solve the predicament, but still, it's sooo unbearable. Like what TK said, "it's definitely not a line he wanted to hear but he heard it anyway. "

I like the "reading between the lines" scene between the boss and TK, where the boss said fans can change who they like anytime, and that reminded TK of GMN being his "fan". I love his "realisation suddenly hit me" look when he commented he couldnt even go after the fans who had changed their adoration target, while we all know he was thinking of GMN. I think its a reflection of his childlikeness :)

The next scene about the "self invented" fan quiz that follows was also hilarious. It had me laughing the most actually! When he decided to gather "intelligence truth" with that evil eye brow twitch, I knew I will be going in for a good laugh.

With his confidence crumbling down and being "shattered" to pieces by the naive honest GMN's answers to his FAQ, that whole few minutes was priceless!!!! When he made that face and uttered "What?!!! 2?!!! It's really a 2!!!! That makes even a 7 is now like a high score!!!!!!!" That cracked me up even further!!! The final question was the BEST!

When TK finally confessed he is even more nervous wreak about knowing how much GMN likes him, as compared to taking his first piano exam....and trying to act composed while fretting over the result to unveil...it says alot about how much GMN weighs in his heart...

And when he saw the 100marks, his uncontainable glee and victorious joy and getting all excited had me in stitches man again!!!

When hugging and patting the bunny pig's butt, and joyfully declaring "I take back calling you an ingrate pig-rabbit!", I lost control of myself totally was completely smitten by his character!!!!!!! I could kiss him for that because I can relate to how it feels, and its a realistic emotion scene that totally convince me how 2 people who discovered "love" will react...


The piano singing scene was all good and sweet but a tad cliche for me. It's an overused ruse, singing the "Fly me to the moon" to convey how they both feel towards each other. Then again, I must not be greedy, YAB has spoilt me enough with many many creative original lines and alternative plot already:) One occasional "mainstream" scene is totally acceptable.

For once after so many episodes, in this, I finally feel Shinwoo being true and realistic about the situation because he finally confessed his love. (So nimy, u need not worry about me ragging u now....haaa) The part where he went thru their "love history" with GMN was a little poignant. However, a mixture of "sorry dude" combined with "well too bad, its your own fault" still mixed me up. I mean, yes I know he did alot, but he fantasied too much and thus was blind to reality, ending up in such a plight.. (yes the grandeur princely syndrome) Hasnt anyone told him "seize the moment, seize the day?" GMN is really dense....after all the incidents he mentioned, she is so caught up in TK's accepting her affection that she totally neglected shinwoo...well, at least she did noticed he was sad in the end after she was done playing with the shadow...

And when shinwoo saw GMN wearing the heels, I could truly feel how sad he was, and resigned to the fact that everything was a lost cause, because he knew TK has already accepted GMN, and he was truly out of the race...it must be terribly heart wrenching to see those heels on her....poor dude.

So I guess it was TK's mum's one sided love affair....I cannot believe she will live in her own little world, wreaking TK's life, "sending" GMN's mum to her death, as well as going to wreak the budding love between TK and GMN, all these for her utterly selfish desire of thinking GMN's dad only loved her. She is willing to "destroy" the happiness of people ard her just for that. She is a very sad pathetic character if u ask me. Longing and pining for a love that has already said its goodbye to her....

Towards the end of the episode was also another highlight.
When TK was devising ways to ensure "his little GMN" will not have a change of heart. It was funny how he was actually worried about marks being deducted after GMN returns from BUSAN. When he couldnt see GMN at the gate, he even thought about rushing down the highway to ensure his feelings is made known before his "position" gets shaken. With that, he finally confessed in the most unconventional, manly fashion befitting of HTK's style, telling GMN she shares the same "liking" score. It's sooo sweet!!!!!! I would cringe if he had said "I like you" but i'm glad he didnt and I am sure NONE of his fans here will ever expect him to utter those mushy lines.

As for shinwoo, he had me nodding in approval here when he finally confess to GMN. While waiting at the carpark sitting on the bench. He finally was being truthful to himself and GMN. He told her that maybe they can start being a couple for real since she is a girl afterall. He added that he doesnt expect her to completely give him her heart now but just alittle bit...and all she has to do was make that first step. He said he has already made that first step of liking her. GMN was shocked at the confession. SHinwoo said if she is willing, then come to his side before handing the flight ticket to her, leaving her in shock and dazed at this unexpected love confession. All that was in my head was, good for you shinwoo, you are finally behaving like a real man, and not acting out your princely role.

OH!!! oh How I dread the next episode where everything is destroyed when he learnt the truth about GMN's identity....sob sob... please dont hold it against GMN! It' not her fault, its your mum's crazy self delusions!!

There are other scenes that I liked as well.

The part where TK saw shinwoo's deathly pale shocked look seeing GMN wearing the green heels after being tricked by fake threatening fairy was good. I think fake fairy is really a bitch here. She really has no right to do what she did, absolutely cross the line. I like how TK stood up for shinwoo indirectly even though he has already figured out shinwoo's real emotional state. Fake fairy is soooo finished with TK. 3 cheers for TK for telling her off and threatening her back for a change! Yahoooooooo! As for shinwoo, seeing his glum sorrowful lone figure was quite depressing.... and him looking longingly at GMN....i felt my heart squeeze for a min there.... my poor lonely prince... Actually I am glad he made a last "bid" in an attempt to let GMN know his true feelings before they board the plane to Busan to explain things to his parents.

Next episode will rock man.
Poor Jeremy will discover GMN's affection for TK and unable to handle the truth.
TK will find out GMN and his mum's linkage..the "identity" truth...
The media will prob be having a field day about shinwoo and TK fighting over the same girl...

Alrighty, this is a full run of the value of your time here.
I think this review is about good enough as a synopsis. No point writing in detail since everyone will be flocking to Viikii for the video sub. I am eagerly waiting for your girls to finish the epi and get back here to dissect the whole epi with me!!! :) Counting down to ep14!!!!

K-Music: You Are Beautiful OST 2

Time to swoon over the new cd release....

Two of my fav tracks, "goodbye" by our hyung-nim....and the other "What should I do" by our fumbling bee GMN.

Can't it up in mixpod, so I have place it under box.net instead for those obsessed fans like me... The download as below:

03: 어떡하죠 - 박다예.mp3
04: GoodBye

I am hoping the goodbye track sung by T.K is as a promise to his mum...and NOT actually because he is singing it to GMN. As we all can rem the "explosive" wayGMN sung her "love song" when she saw TK...it would be too much for me to think under what circumstances - emotional state of mind TK will be in when he is singing that...esp not when we just saw how he has accepted MN's feeling openly!!!

As we all anticipate the outcome, let the tracks keep us company as we count down to the numbered days of "happy days" with YAB....
