Casting

She has a unique personality, full of character and mischievousness, with a certain touch of tenderness and compassion. She always defends the weakest and fights for justice; her peculiar situation has brought her a very solitary life, with the exception of the company of her friend and agent Yoo Woo Mi and Ryu Eun Ho, as well as the continuous fear that one day she will not be able to remember who she is or her secret is discovered.
Lee Min Ki As Seo Do Jae
A very attractive man, with a sense of fashion, intelligent, skillful in business, in general quite a gallant, who has many responsibilities in his airline and lives to fulfill them, due to his inability to recognize faces, he became a very disciplined man, with a cold and somewhat distant personality, with a frankness that sometimes is somewhat hurtful, but who cares for his family and others.

The drama so far…
It is the adaptation to drama of the film “The Beauty Inside” that was released in 2015 and based on the book “Every Day” by David Levithan. In this new production, the roles are reversed since in this case it is the female protagonist who changes body and it happens once a month for a week, not as in the film where the change is permanent, is having a great reception by all viewers, is one of the most seen and commented drama.
Beauty Inside has great protagonists such as Seo Hyun Jin, giving us a role where she looks very seductive, adorable and great, who is fulfilling what was expected and who is winning very good reviews and then is Lee Min Ki, a great actor, great physicist and adored by many fans, whose cold character, but at the same time being quite a gallant, is looking very good.
This drama so far is being very funny and romantic at the same time, with a perfect chemistry between the protagonists, with that love-hate relationship, give us some fantastic scenes, also with a very good setting with Lee Da Hee as Kang Sa Ra and Ahn Jae Hyun as Ryu Eun Ho, being this couple a total overturn to the typical prototype in Korean couples, the super gallant Chaebol man who falls in love with the sweet and pretty poor girl, in this case is the other way around. I think Lee Da Hee is making a great character, which may be a little overshadowed by the great role of Seo Hyun Jin, but certainly, both are giving us two very strong female characters worth admiring and continuing to see.
This cast has a great chemistry in general, where you see a lot of complicity in their work and where even the set mascot Gging Ggang, does not go unnoticed and is another member of this family. The drama is still on air so it’s too early to broadcast a review, but for now, everything looks great, “The Beauty Inside” is broadcast on Mondays and Tuesdays on the television network jTBC. if you want to see the film that inspired the drama you can see it on VIKI 🙂
