Notorious for her sudden absences, top actress Han Se Gye has a secret that only her two closest friends know. Once a month, her face changes, and she has to live with different faces for one whole week. She and her friends have learned on how to deal with this mysterious illness when Seo Do Jae comes into her life, with a secret of his own. Se Gye...
First Love Feels
The lead stars, Lee Min Ki and Seo Hyun-Jin undoubtedly had impressive chemistry. Visually, they were both a delight to watch as the pair came to terms with their individual past. Lee Min Ki and Seo Hyun Jin are both very capable actors, who are veterans in doing romantic comedies. Their candied scenes together had given warm and fuzzy feeling that one would get when you experience falling in love for the first time.
Unconditional Friendship
The friendship between Se Gye, Eun Ho and Woo Mi was more endearing because both Eun Ho and Woo Mi showed unconditional love and concern for Se Gye’s condition. Ahn Jae Hyun’s visually pleasing handsome looks were used to the fullest in the story as he attracted women everywhere he went. The scenes of these three close friends provided the comic relief in the drama.
Characters not given much depth
Given the stellar record of both Lee Min Kiand Seo Hyun-Jin in their previous dramas, it was disappointing that their roles were not given much depth. There were so much opportunities to deepen the storyline of both Do Jae and Se-Gye’s illnesses, and it would have been interesting if we had seen more of their internal struggles about their illnesses. The background of Do Jae’s history and how it was resolved was even done better than Se Gye’s, which was ironic considering the drama should hav...
Lackluster Romance Between the Second Leads
Ahn Jae hyeon and Lee Dae Hee had the second loveline in the story, but this too, seemed too chaste and dry for our taste. Coy kisses on the cheek seemed to be enough for them both, so it failed to give the viewers a chance to appreciate their connection. Lee Dae Hee was effective as a conniving stepsister out to dethrone her older brother, however she failed to effectively portray a woman falling head over heels in love with a certified charmer.
Storyline Losing Steam Halfway Through
The drama seemed to lose steam halfway through. Once their secret was out as Do Jae finally revealed his illness to the company, the drama seemed to lose its momentum, floundering about pointlessly as it merely concluded some of the side stories. Chae Yoo-Ri, the heroine’s fierce rival, was written off clumsily as someone who simply went crazy after her final confrontation with Se Gye. In fact, the last episode seemed to be purely fan service as they tried to neatly wrap up the drama before f...
Overall, the drama is light and warm, easy to watch whenever you are free. It would also be interesting to watch this drama first and then the movie version. But as we observedearlier, the drama has failed to create an impact on the viewers as something you would want to rewatch again in the future. The Beauty Inside aired its finale episode on 20 ...
