Park Shin-hye is Jang Geun-seok’s girl in You’re Beautiful
by javabeans
Jang Geun-seok has found his love interest for the Hong sisters idol-star drama You’re Beautiful [미남이시네요], and it’s 19-year-old Park Shin-hye (Radish Kimchi and Goong S).
The plot traces the growth and development of teenage aspiring pop stars as they are trained in idol groups. Jang’s character is a simple country boy who begins his life as an idol group member, while Park Shin-hye stretches her acting muscles playing two parts (twins), one (or both??) of whom falls for Jang Geun-seok.
This isn’t the first time Jang and Park have worked together; they’ve even shared an onscreen kiss before, in a CF for Etude House (watch CF below).
In addition to the Hong sisters writing team (Hong Gil Dong, My Girl), directing is PD Hong Sung-chang of Smile Again. I haven’t seen Smile Again — I tend to stay as far away from Kim Hee-sun dramas as I can — so I can’t weigh in on that, but I have enjoyed all four of the Hong sisters’ series thus far, even if it’s been in descending order. According to PD Hong (and as we can guess from the writing team’s history), the drama will be “bright and upbeat.”
I think Park Shin-hye has been uneven but is pretty likable; she caught viewers’ attention as a 13-year-old in Stairway to Heaven and later in Heaven’s Tree at 16. She kinda sucked in Goong S, but was better in her follow-up, Radish Kimchi. She and Jang Geun-seok are two former child actors who have made the transition into adult roles fairly gracefully.
You’re Beautiful will air on SBS on Wednesdays and Thursdays in October.
Here’s a clip of their Etude House cosmetics commercial:

Seems to be a pretty good casting (at least for the premise of the drama). The whole twins thing can be tricky; it can be super funny or super lame. I hope the Hong sisters work their magic again.

AWW couldnt help but groan when I read PSH is taking the female lead in this drama which Im looking forward to.
I thought she was terrible in Goong S, not that strong of an actress, and something about her just annoys me for some reason

I'm happy about the female lead casting. PSH was wonderful in Stairway and Tree of Heaven. Goong S was just terrible all around, so I don't blame her. Plus - we already know she and JGS have chemistry.

I'm with E, I love this girl! She was awesome in Heavens Tree. When she's paired with an actor that has chops [like Lee Wan] she is amazing. So, I say bring it on!

I've only seen her in Tree of Heaven but for a 16-year old I thought she was fantastic. In fact. I was surprised when I read that she was so young, and that her being underage was the reason why there were no kissing scenes in that drama. I thought she was an actress in her 20's playing younger, when in fact the reverse was true!

I'll be watching for Jang Geun-seok. But Park Shin-hye has always rubbed me the wrong. She was terrible to watch in Goong S and only slightly more bearable in Tree of Heaven, but I think that's more due to Lee Wan's character than her acting.

PSH reminds me of an AJUMMA. She is looks pretty old and raggedy when she appears on TV and it is NOT pleasant to look at. People here might like her but netizens in Korea don't care for her. I was looking forward to the drama because of JGS but after learning that PSH was cast, I'M NOT WATCHING IT. She is not very pretty but on top of that her acting is extremely mediocre. >=(
Its bad enough that she was casted in this drama but she is a twin?! Who in the world would want to see her twice?! LOL

So.. half of the people here likes her and half doesn't? =/
She did make a bad choice being in Goong S... even if it's Se7en.
I'm kinda indifferent to her so I wouldn't mind watching it if the storyline isn't that bad & JGS is a plus too xD

I believe this is the first time Jang Guk Seuk will be playing the lead in a drama. I've seen most of what he has been in, including his movies. ( I just finished translating into spanish Baby and Me).
I'll definitely give this drama a chance.
BTW; that kiss was hot! Looks like he's a good kisser, yummy!

@Jo,

--HAHA! do you really think JGS can act? LOL! --
The only thing I remember about tree of heaven is there is this one scene where she was running with high heels and all. I thought at that time,
" gosh, she's looked like a 14-year old girl on working mom outfit, why didn't they cast someone else as a - few years later - girl" .

Tree of Heaven...that was a tear-jerker though I thought PSH did quite a good job.
This two - PSH and JGS sure has chemistry though. That is some kiss in that CF (mostly due to JSG moves) - better than most in K-dramas.

FINALLY after 2 years of waiting PSH is finally back... I'm a big fan of her acting.....as well as many of her other talents (singing and dancing)....Can't wait.
I do understand some of the haters out there though....she has a great innocent smile but her eyes seems to be sly beyond her years. I have no comment about Goong S...which I loose half of my interest when PSH is the 2nd lead......and totally give up on it after the first 2 ep.

PSH is a perfect choice why mention GoongS for i think she played the role she gt casted for that was it never was a hit anyways
I think fr all the PSH haters somehow you dont know quality if you see it at such a young age she showed she will be a star and she is testimony even thou she hasnt done anything for a while they stlll cast for CF's and i think this is where all the ANTI PSH are from look at the list of the guys she works with and kissed JGS, Lee min ho, kim hyun joong, lee wan, se7en, joo ji hoon, taegoon, jaegoon i mean the list goes on.
Wish all th production team and these beautiful people a great and successfull drama. god bless and we will be supporting this

ehhh not a fan, not that i dislike her, its that i think Jang Geun Seok deserves bettter. His female pairings, so far, has been alll wrong, and i was hoping this time it would be different. afterall, the pair makes the drama. However, i just don't see it, how they would make a good pairing.
The only reason the CF was any good was because that boy sure can kiss... PSH was stiff as a board.

Lololz! I did read these craaazzyy comments from some of hater fan about Park Shin-Hye --- It made me so thoughtful while reading this and it made me so laughs sometimes. *** I love watching them together in a commerical and kissing each other........(fanning my hands) .....it's so HOT! Whew.......***
So......it's very HARSH and rude of them about complaining to Park Shin-Hye's acting -- BUT you all know there are nothing to do wrong with her as a young woman, eh?! Oh! FOR GOD'S SAKE.... I don't understand why at mostly fan didn't like her at 80% than some who like her about 20%! Didn't you all think that is all of Park Shin-Hye's fault because of lack of her acting -- cause that drama (Goong S) become so worse??? HUH?! NO NO NO NO NO NNNOOO, IMPOSSIBLE!
I think it's probably be her director WHO create that drama Goong S, HUH? It's NOT all about her, okay? It is because of all of storyline and other many things what the director have to create and decision what they (directors & scripwriters) wants for Goong S drama. NOT HER. ((grins)) I hope I will pray for Park Shin Hye will do that for her best while working so hard in the future! ((grins))
.........I know she's really excellent at her acting when she was in "Stairway to Heaven" and "Tree Heaven", and other (some dramas), whatever. I am very surprised that you all say that "Goong S" drama was very horrible, oooh! Cuz' I never watch this drama yet, so....DON'T YOU ALL (some haters) say that it's all blame to Park Shin-Hye --- SHE didn't do nothing wrong, u know that!
What IF Park Shin-Hye would be upset when she will hear about everything what you all, like, say something mean and hate about her......so didn't you know what happens to her in the future? I bet that you all (some haters) will be at fault that IF Park Shin Hye might NOT continuing to acting till become death.........((evil smirks)) Will you all happy to hear about this, eh?!! But I DID NOT. I don't want to hear everything what you guy alway negative about her, but LEAVE HER ALONE AND MADE HER HAPPY WHILE HER ACTING IN DRAMAS, okay!
I know it's doesn't matter to be PREFECT but it's NO one prefect -- just take their time for actors & actoresses like Jang Geun-Seok and Park Shin-Hye. I am absolutely 100% sure that both of them (Jang Geun-Seok & Park Shin-Hye) are such as good friendship together --- beautiful 100% chemistry between them!
I hope this new drama "You're Beautiful" will come up soon in Sept OR October, either. I bet that they will process into becoming so closer like as a "cute" couple someday, or NOT if it's okay with me! ((BEAMS)) KEEEP IT UP!!!
Remember, motto --- FIGHTING!!!! (winks)

Wat's up with 'Not pretty? Not good looking?', just because she is not as beautiful as some people, does not mean that she is not worth it. YOU GUYS DON'T HAVE ANY RIGHT TO JUDGE ABOUT ANYONE'S PERSONALITY JUST BECAUSE OF THEIR LOOKS. It really pisses me off a lot...come on looks????? that's all you guys care about???? She is a RISING STAR, diamond does not look pretty when it's out from wherever it comes from, people knows it's value when it goes from all those processing (it's just a saying) but the bottom line is she is young and she is trying her best. Instead of pulling her leg why can't you people give her some encouragement. No one is born star....
TO park Shin Hye: 'DON'T GET BOTHERED WHAT OTHER PEOPLE SAYS ABOUT YOU. YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE CAPABLE OF. MY PRAYS, GOOD WISHES, LOVE AND SUPPORT WILL ALWAYS BE WITH YOU. SOME PEOPLE SAY GOOD, SOME SAYS BAD...THAT'S THE WAY IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN, BUT WHAT MATTERS THE MOST IS YOU SHOULD NEVER GIVE UP ON YOUR DREAMS. ALWAYS KEEP ON FIGHTING...'
