I love Lee Min Ki character in 'behind your touch'. It's different from 'because this is my first life' and 'the beauty inside'. Those character were very robot like and serious. Where as this one he's in casual clothes and has facial expressions.

This scene in Follow Your Heart:

Is this scene from The Beauty Inside:

Even the hand shot! I mean:

The Beauty Inside would end up in any Top 10 kdramas list I made and yet I am enjoying FMH a lot because it's basically a period AU of it and it's my fave sort of set up.

K-dramas and k-reality shows with their ability to make blue collar jobs like carpentry and tailoring looks so fucking glamorous....🫡

No, but seriously, nothing is as fascinating as hearing what they all do for a living. Like, what do you mean you're a live translator? What do you mean you translate for food tasters? What even is that career?

A calligrapher for utensils? How does one think of such a job?

The Beauty Inside (2015) | thoughts |

I just finished watching this movie with my girlfriend! It was phenomenal!! I rarely sit down for a movie so I'm glad this one seemingly happened to fall out of the sky this Sunday.

As an esoteric girl who's interests naturally extend into psychology and art, I find a movie like this one especially perfect. The premise is cliche yet profound which is so attractive for a sap like me who loves to project my ideals onto *everything*. The movie begins in a somber tone (at least to me) as the exposition unravels and we become intimately aware of the recluse and ambiguous life of main character, Kim Woo-Jin. He wakes up a different person everyday,,,young, old, man, woman, he assumes the face of all but his own. With a plot like this, it's hard NOT to derive a cosmic lesson or two from the whole tale.

NONATTACHMENT!!!

Non-attachment is a philosophy you see often in Buddhist traditions and also a theme that sticks out to me having watched this movie. Most of the characters in this movie display qualities of the concept and at varying degrees. The two leads go through a metamorphosis of ego and spirit showcasing how love can exist within the complexities of this long since misunderstood philosophy.

"Love without attachment means being aware that our possessions can break, get stolen or change, and that sadly people can leave or die."

These characters didn't really have the luxury of encountering this ideology in the typical sense through spiritual exploration or meditation and that makes it all the more important. We watch the male lead navigate grief over the loss of one's sense of self. A truly unique plight. We watch him grapple with acceptance over and over again as his life is at the will of his oscillating appearance. By proxy, Hong E-soo, our ever exuberant female lead, goes through several mental hurdles as she learns to love our damned Kim Woo-Jin.

By the end, it felt like I witnessed a complete evolution, one with many stages and nuances. Forty minutes in and I had already gone through the 7 stages of grief. The second act almost took me off this PLANET. I can't recommend it enough! Even without the mystics of it all, it's a very, very sweet movie and the cinematography is such a treat. Give it a watch and maybe remember to let go while you're at it!

jang uk is a beautiful written character, like he's a standart for men written by women, cause he's gentle and sweet, but also strong and determined, he really fully understandd the power that he has, but doesn't use it to abuse people, he's funny, charming, but most important he's not afraid of his woman having more power than him, he admires naksu and is sure enough to make her his teacher, despite being rised in environment where teachers/masters are usually men, accepting and loving her as she is, truly a dream boy 🥺

So I got a little distracted and thus lost on some details during the first episode of The Beauty Inside (2018) so I decided to find an old school kdrama recap blog to get the gist of what I missed and at the end of the recap was this:

Its like uncovering an ancient relic from the dark ages, aka the age before our guys were the most famous, recognizable faces on the planet. Unreal.

The Beauty inside makes no sense to me. I get that he has face blindness and I get that she changes into different people. But why did she owe his family money? Why is his sister such a bitch to him? I'm only on episode 10 so maybe I'll get those answers. It's just all confusing.

Aaaaaa, they made the priest dude in the secondary couple in the kdrama into a smithing slave?!!! AAAAA

My Review of Korean Drama The Beauty Inside.

The Beauty Inside is a Korean drama about a popular actress Han Se Gye, who has a magical condition that forces her to spend one week of each month transformed into a different person. She meets and falls in love with an airline executive Seo Do Jae who suffers from a medical condition called face blindness. At first Han Se Gye and Seo Do Jae are suspicious of each other because of the secrets they are keeping. However as they spend time together, they begin to understand each other’s special condition and they fall in love. Their rare disorders lead them both to face numerous difficulties and they try to overcome these problems together. The Beauty Inside has a happy ending and stars Seo Hyun Jin as Han Se Gye and Lee Min Ki as Seo Do Jae.

my other random Goblin thought:

Lee Dong Wook looks so much like Ben Whishaw to me in this. I mean they don't actually look alike, I googled pictures of Whishaw to check and side by side they have pretty different faces. And in other photos and gifs of Lee Dong Wook I've seen I don't get that feeling (I haven't seen him in any other dramas*). But something about the shape of his mouth, the angle of his jaw and his fluffy bangs here keep making my brain go "Ben Whishaw!"

*so apparently I had seen him in something before, a 2015 movie called The Beauty Inside, possibly the first Kdrama I ever saw. This was back in 2017ish; we randomly stumbled on it on netflix. But that was so long ago that I barely remember what he looked like in it, and also the premise of the movie is that his face keeps changing so half the time the character was played by other actors.
