Asian Drama Sunday (High Society)

Rating: 5 out of 5.

Jang Yoon Ha is a chaebol (elite society) heiress who hides her identity as a socialite and works at a food store.

She wants to find her own man to love. A Man who isn’t going to marry her just because she is a rich heiress but because she is herself.

Meanwhile, Jang Yoon Ha falls for Park Hyn Sik’s friend and subordinate. They start a rocky relationship and fight for their rights to marry who they choose.


I absolutely adored this show. You often wonder how often socialites feel like Jang Yoon Ha and want to find men who love them not because of money but because they actually truly love them.

Park Hyn Sik nearly had me in tears when he sat crying for days because his mother refused to let him see his love interest. The ending was quite hilarious though. I truly believe that tis show deserves the 5 star rating.

Asian Drama Sunday – You’re Beautiful

Rating: 4 out of 5.

The title of this Drama is You’re Beautiful or Fabulous Boys.

A.N.JELL’S lead singer Tai Jing’s voice needs a rest. New Vocalist Mei Nan ends up going to the states to fix a botched eye job.

Mei Nan’s agent decides to ask Gao Mei Nu, who is Mei Nan’s twin sister and a nun in training, to pose as her brother until he returns from his eye surgery.

She struggles to maintain a platonic brotherly relationship with the other members of the group, while maintaining her brother’s image.

Eventually though the lead singer starts to suspect something is up and each of the members starts to fall for the quirky temperamental female.


This drama is mostly a comedy. It mostly is dry comedy. I loved it to a point. I adore these shows where the girls dress up to be a man or boy just to be accepted only to in the end be discovered and the boys all have different reactions when they discover that the FMC is actually a girl.
