(Faux) idol group A.N.JELL is revealed
by javabeans
The first official poster has been revealed of A.N.JELL, the idol group within the drama You’re Beautiful, which features actors Jang Geun-seok, Park Shin-hye, Lee Hong-ki, and Jung Yong-hwa. And all I have to say is that it’s so… froofy. I know it’s an idol group and therefore targeted to the tween/teen set, but this looks like it’s practically out of a Sailor Moon comic book. A few more sparkles and unicorns and you’ve fulfilled the quintessential 5-year-old girl fantasy.
In the drama, A.N.JELL is a highly popular idol group comprising four pretty-boy members; the group even performed a real mini-concert on September 20 as their characters.
You’re Beautiful follows Swallow the Sun and premieres October 7.

It can be sparkly all it wants as long as the storyline doesn't bore me.

Hah, I love the word "froofy".. lolz...
The poster is definitely not my cup of tea.. Jang Geun Seuk looks like Peter Pan there... and I hate the hair!!
But it's Hong Sisters... they can do no wrong..

lol yeah something is just --can't put my finger on it -- froofy?
they should have all worn white to go with the angel concept the other two have going. I liked their other group photo with the Hongki article.
@ripgal I totally agree.. the Hong sisters can do no wrong... I'll give it a go just cause they wrote it...

This poster is making me *LOL* I don't know if it's Hong Ki's big ol' booty or Jang Geun Seok horribly greasy hair style but this looks like something you watch while completely high.
Don't do drugs kids!

I just checked the Soompi thread..
Actually think all the posters and official stills look unappealing..
But I do think these would make a better poster?

If the drama is called A.N.JELL, why does the title in the poster say, "You are Mi-Ja" ?
--
Heheh, I actually like the poster >____<
As cheesy as it looks, I get the BOF feeling. Cheesy, but fun.
btw, what's up with JGS's hair? Looks greasy =.=

^ The drama is not called A.N.JELL, it's actually the name of their band..
The drama is called You're Beautiful or You're Handsome..

Hmmm, froofy is definitely the right word to describe this because I can't think of any other. Hopefully, it won't be this...froofy.

I'm still so hyped over the fact that JGS and PSH are going to do a drama together. It has been a long time since I've watched my last drama, and I'm really hoping that this will get me back to doing so.
And regarding the poster, as unappealing as it may seem, it does sort of take the essence of what it means to be an idol. How they're supposed to be ethereal, and almost godly, as if they can do no wrong. As long as the drama doesn't disappoint, I guess.

I know that A.N.Jell was the name of the band, but I was reading wrong and was thinking that A.N.Jell was also the name of the drama. But I realized after I typed my message that JB had wrote the name of the drama was "You’re Beautiful" at the end ^^'''''''
When I read the title in the poster, It says "You are Mi-Ja", but I somehow took Mi-Ja (the hanja characters) as a name of a person >.< Ah, sorry ^^''' I read too fast -_-

@Biscuit, the title reads "You are Mi-nam" (not Mi-ja), where Mi-nam is a pun -- it's the word for "handsome young man" as well as the name of Park Shin-hye's character.

"A few more sparkles and unicorns and you’ve fulfilled THE QUINTESSENTIAL 5-YEAR-OLD GIRL FANTASY"
God I want a unicorn. Pisses me off that we get an adaptation of GI Joe, but no My Little Pony.
Honestly, this looks like a typical cover for a TW drama. And yes TW dramas are sickly sweet, that's why I like it. :D

the cover looks more like they were taking the bishi stuff from anime and manga. all the really good looking guys have this sparkling aura about them so the audiance knows they're special.
i haven't read much about this one, is it some kind of hana kimi thing where theres a girl pretending to be a guy? she doesn't look much like a guy in the poster (you know, the dress and all) but the synopsis said its about 4 guys??

"God I want a unicorn. Pisses me off that we get an adaptation of GI Joe, but no My Little Pony. "
So true, I want more sparkly movies XD..
I dunno, even this weird acid trip poster (nor JGS's visit to Severus Snape's Barbershop) can't stop me from being excited for this drama. Something about the gender bender genre that makes me want to watch it.. maybe I'm a closet yaoi fan o.O.

Little Twin Stars? or Rather Little Quad Stars?
Sorry but the first thing I thought when I just saw the blondie at the top right of cnr of the image was 'Eh? Little Twin Stars live Asian movie?'
Concept of drama is ok - but WTH is were they thinking with this poster? Were the PR dept only allocated glitter pens, cotton wool (for clouds) and string (to hold all those scarves and shirts out to look 'windless')?

40.Fauvish - I'm totally with you as well ! Even though the poster is so so so cheesey I'm a sucker for those cross-dressing stories ! LOL !.. Plus the cast is really appealing and I pray that the storyline won't let us down..

i hate Jang Geun-seok's hair. he looks like an old-fashioned ajusshi lol.
i'm a bit sceptical about this drama, idk, i was so impressed by Yoon Eun Hye's acting in Coffee Prince that i feel that Park Shin-hye won't be as good as her...

froofy, indeed. LOL
IDK, that doesn't work for me. I mean, it doesn't look like an idol-group at all, but yeah, something "pretty" and fairy tale-ish but for little girls. If they wanted to make it look like a real idol-group, tptb should've taken a good looooong look at how all-male bands look like (e.g. SuJu, DBSK, 2PM, 2AM etc), the poses they strikes, the clothes they wear, but that poster? It's as far from THAT kind of look as you can possibly get.
But the drama doesn't sound bad. I'm a fan of the Hong sisters myself so I'm probably going to watch this...despite the froofy poster.

I'm curious enough about this to at least check out the first few episodes. I wonder if the other guys in the band know that Park Shin-hye is really a girl? Or does she pass herself off to everyone as her brother, which would really make it a little too similar to Coffee Prince my liking.
