Review drama: Birth of a Beauty 미녀의 탄생

This winter season SBS station is screening their romance-comedy drama- Birth of a Beauty starring Ju Sang Wook, Han Ye Seul, Jung Gyu Woon and Wang Ji Hye. I have to say this drama really made my day. I laughed from the start to end... what a comical drama! It's a nice thing to see Ju Sang Wook playing such witty character and let's hope Han Ye Seul doesn't run away in the middle of the production drama. Han Ye Seul was known for running away and creating riots while filming Spy Myung Wol with Shinhwa's Eric Mun due to exhaustion and stress (??!) 


                                

The drama opens with the overweight size simpleton Sa Geum Ran (Ha Jae Sook) who is married to the rich family's son Lee Kang Joon (Jung Gyu Woon). While he studies in US, he neglects her and she was ill-treated by her sister in laws and mother in law. Geum Ran finds out her husband is having an affair with broadcaster, Gyu Chae Yeon (Wang Ji Hye), so she demands for a divorce. Her in laws were thrilled to know Chae Yeon will be their next daughter in law so she kicked Geum Ran out of the picture. She was devastated while driving her car, she met with a huge incident but survived. She then runs to plastic surgeon Han Tae Hee (Ju Sang Wook), begging him to transform her to a beautiful woman. Months later Geum Ran has changed into a sexy bomb and took a new identity as Sara (Han Ye Seul). Tae Hee starts coaching Sara on how to take revenge on her in laws, she starts finding out the mysterious truth on how Kang Joon and Chae Yeon were behind the car accident. Tae Hee is in fact the heir to Winners Group company as he escaped in a fire accident that killed his parents. And he sees how his Grandma is pulling through in the company with the evil daughter in law, Assistant Sohn and her greedy son, Min Hyuk. (Han Sang Jin)

The storyline is getting interesting as I can see 3 men are falling for 1 woman. :)



Jung Gyu Woon is known more in playing as the romantic guy in Romantic Town opposite Sang Yuri. He was also casted in History Salaryman, Wonderful Mama and God's Gift 14 Days with Lee Bo Young. Wang Ji Hye tends to play 2nd role as the bitchy character. I have never seen her played very innocent role ever since she was in How to Meet a Perfect Neighbour, Personal Taste, Protect the Boss and Hotel King. 

Han Ye Seul is born and brought up in US. She is fluent in English and Korean. She is famously noted for her roles in Couple Trouble with Oh Ji Ho, Tazza, Will It Snow for Christmas and Spy Myung Wol. As for personal life, she is currently dating 1TYM's Teddy.

What I most look forward in this drama is Ju Sang Wook. He's been my favorite actor ever since he starred in small roles such as Air City, Kimchi Radish Cubes, One Mom & 3 Dads and Accidental Couple. His popularity sky rocketed when he played Jo Min Woo in Giant drama.He bagged some awards for his role in Good Doctor. Early 2014, he was casted to play in Sly & Single with actress Lee Min Jung. Ju Sang Wook is known for always playing as managerial and 'chaebol; roles. I guess his distinguished looks and height made him more suitable to play the upper management and well-to-do characters. 

Tune on to Sat/Sun to catch this romantic comedy drama as we speak. Cheers!
