In the new Hong sisters trendy drama You’re Beautiful [미남이시네요], Jang Geun-seok (Beethoven Virus) shows a bright, charming personality as the team leader of a budding idol group of aspiring teen pop stars. (The drama’s title is also a play on the name of the character played by Park Shin-hye, and can also be read as “You’re Mi-nam.”)
The drama held its first poster and promo shoot on the 11th, and featured Jang’s co-stars Park Shin-hye, Kim In-kwon, UEE, Bae Geu-rin, Lee Hong-ki, Jung Yong-hwa, and Choi Su-eun.
As we know, Jang Geun-seok has an interest in music as well as acting and has put out multiple digital singles, which is why it comes as no surprise that he says, “This is a drama I really wanted to do. I received the synopsis earlier this year and have been immersed in this project since then. I rehearsed with musical instruments a lot, and read the script and analyzed the character seriously.”
This is also his first time being the eldest of the cast: “In my other dramas, I was always the youngest, but this time I’m the big brother so I feel a strong sense of responsibility. However, Jung Jin-young sunbae of Itaewon Murder Case told me, ‘When dealing with junior actors, don’t treat them as juniors but as colleagues.’”
This is Jang Geun-seok’s second time working with the Hong sisters writing team; he played the cool-headed prince in last year’s fusion comedy sageuk Hong Gil Dong. You’re Beautiful will air on Wednesdays and Thursdays on SBS, following Swallow the Sun. Its first broadcast airs on October 7.

Don’t really like how his hair is styled or his choice of clothes but I think I’ll check out the drama when it starts..
Why do they keep making a handsome lad uglier with ugly hairstyles and uglier clothes??? I could style him better!!! Anyways, I’m looking forward to seeing him and Hongki… hehehe~
yay!!! this one of the dramas I wanted to watch! the only thing is.. it is going up against My Fair Lady and Iris on its broadcast..
I guess there seems to be a lot of dramas on my watch list for the Wed and Thurs time slot.
Not really feeling it…
willy wonka, anyone?
please don’t tell me he’s carrying this kind of style in the new drama. i don’t think i can stand it. =/ *pukes*
OH NO!!! The manliner is back… didn’t like it in Hong Gil Dong, still not liking it.
ewwwwwwwww haiiiiirrrrrrrrrr
Just in time to complete the trendy drama. ha
I think he does better in dramas than movies.
For sure I will wait this drama, since Delightful Girl Choon-Hyang I’m following Hong sisters drama’s.
I hate the hair and his clothes are whatever but I love his ass voice(when he’s not singing), his acting, and I love the Hong sisters. So I’m in!!!

Reminds me of Lee Min Ho’s look in the Cass beer commercials.
ah, he’s back w/ the manliner.
Is guyliner abstinence too much to hope for?
Love the Hong sisters but….not really feeling this one.
Willy Wonka… oh, that is great – thanks.
dude needs to get a new stylist and makeup artist; not just for his sake, but for all of us
the hair and the clothes….please don’t tell me this is the style his character is going for in You’re Beautiful?!
Bring back his look from the movie, do re mi fa so la ti do!!!!
I do like how he looks in that pic ….. Gorgeous ! Obviously I’m in the minority ? ^___^
@ 5 -chocomilk
LOL at the willy wonka remark.. he does seem like him.. =P
OMG, the first pic. Who whould style an actor like THAT??? Quite pitiful…..
Actually….he looks like TOP from Big Bang…..
@21
That’s exactly what I was thinking. He’s really going for TOP’s look, I guess his voice is kinda similar too.
I am so happy finally gets to do another drama.
I didn’t enjoy BV all that much coz it’s not
really about him. Finally he gets a drama
where he’s one of the leads!
Considering how much fuss has been made over ‘slave’ contracts and production companies treatment of their ‘merchandise’ this year, I wonder if they going to be brave and have some mention of this in You’re Beautiful. Would be a perfect chance to make some sort of statement, but I think it is unlikely. the entire entertainment industry rather keep their heads stuck in the ground and pretend such things do not happen
Oh God, Jang Geun Seok strikes again!
Geez! i wish he would quit looking like some metro/alien beatnik and start looking like a real man. Such a handsome actor, don’t understand it.
hong sisters love geunseokkie. BUT FINALLY, he’s gonna get the girl!
what the heck is he wearing???
I am not a fan of the haircut but I like him and the idea for the drama. I also like how they are doing concerts for the band. I am a big fan of gender bender storylines so this is actually one of my most anticipated dramas.
i love him as a person and actor.. but his hairstyle and also clothes suck big time xD he was such a cutie in NONSTOP4, Doremi and even Hong Gil Dong… this style makes him look old and less actractive (though still HOT xD)
I don’t think JGS’s look is all his fault, he sure has a stylist/s especially during pictorials. I am sure they just wanted to give him a look that people/fans would talk about and i think they are quite succesful on that. He can sing, he can dance , and his acting is good (if not very good) so i hope he’ll stay long in the business. Wish him the best.
oh yeah, he finally gets to be the lead in a drama. ooh.
i’m watching this…just because.
however, i am not feeling him in that outfit and hair.
He looks rather like a serial killer than an idol… can’t he choose something nicer to wear… or put some gel his hair… cut his hair in somewhat good looking condition with his face… he has a cute face and all he does is making it look ugly… my interest level to him goes down everytime i see his new pictures…
don’t like this style .. why do they make him ugly !! but I’ll surely take a look at this drama ..
Wait… so that’s a guy? Seriously, I really thought that was a girl going for the “boyish” look until about halfway through this story. Color me surprised.
every time i see a picture of him i am not sure how to react. i wonder who was in charge of make-up and clothes…
gay!!!!
He’s insane. I love it.
I love Jang Geun Suk…. can’t wait till this drama premieres.
Don’t care about his hair and how he dresses…. he is one of the better younger actors. I love how flexible he is. He’s great in a sweet sensitive role as well as bad-ass ones.
He looks so Emo. I don’t know about this one. Is he supposed to be in some new Korean grunge band? I guess he must be modeled after Big Bang or something, but the eyeliner and the greasy hair have to go.
His is probably one of my favorite younger actors and I absolutely love his (non-singing) voice. But yeah, the clothes and hair—I mean it’s come to the point that I expect JGS to wear something that is kind of out there, but even the stylists for the drama are doing it!
Ah! seriously—-his dramas’ are the only time I like his clothing choices. I don’t mind mind the manliner normally, but not feeling it here either. Oh well, I will still give this a try because of JGS and of course because of the Hong sisters.
I really hate the way JGS dresses lately but I’m surprised at myself for tolerating his look in these pics. Maybe I’ve seen more horrible JGS looks.
Oh well, the guy is still handsome even with the guyliner (or manliner or whatever you call it).
I am going to watch this drama and will be giving extra attention to Park Shin-hye’s character. I want to see if she fits her role to a T.
I am very optimistic about You’re Beautiful because I am a big fan of Jang Geun Seok. I also love most of the Hong sisters’ dramas, except for Hong Gil Dong which I found really fun at first and then it made a boring turn nearing the end of the drama.
One word ….. “GAY” ………
love it!
I agree that his hairstyle and dresses are really bad. But look at his face. It still looks good and nice. I don’t think his hairstyle in You are Beautiful is like that.
aww~
i don’t like the hair style
the best JGS hair style when he play doremifasolasido
Finally..he got a girl in drama…hmm..look forward for this drama eventhough have to tolerate with his awful style…huhu..i hope the PD and stylist will realize it and gonna change it gradually as the drama running..such a waste for a handsome face if he goes on with this…”look”
OMG..i love him. he so handsome love love love love he is my idol..
I love Jang Geun-seok…lol…I love you’re beautiful..
Don’t forget to meeting Jang Geun-Seok Thailand Fanclub…Miss Hong Nim very much..lol
…Aigoo…!!!! More power to you Oppa… hope you best for all the things that you’re going to do…Saranghae…
