Kim Bo Tong is a girl that the appearance, background, school records are all ordinary. She fell in love with beautiful man Dokgo Mate at the first sight in middle school. Since then, she lives her life only for Mate, but her unique 4d fashion sense which no one can understand always brings trouble to Mate. In Bo Tong’s eyes, all the girls around Mate are just like splinters. She uses her creative way to claim and stand by the side of her beautiful man – Mate.

IU can show the charm of an ordinary girl to a beautiful man. Her friendly and loveable image is the best choice for Kim Bo Tong. The production team gave her high ratings on her playing the role.

  1. Since, I don’t watch a lot of Korea dramas and have never seen IU acting, I can’t say anything about that.

    I went online and listened to few of her live performances and she really has a great voice. Kudos for that. Although, she will be acting, not singing in this one πŸ™‚

    As for the beauty (which really is in the eye of the beholder and a very subjective thing), everyone seems to think that she is stunningly beautiful but I don’t find her that way… Don’t get me wrong, she is very cute and all but her eyes are kinda too far apart and she is pretty but not beautiful… Unfortunately, people often don’t know the difference between the two…

    I don’t know about her personality but I hope she’s a fun and cool person and will make a good co-star to JKS and others.

    Anyways, I was hoping they’ll choose an actress (a non-idol; although I loved Yoona in LR; her acting improved a lot) for this drama, but no luck.

    All the best to the Beautiful Man/Pretty Boy team! Wish you smooth shooting and good ratings πŸ™‚

    Peace out!

  2. Jang Keun Suk is really one very lucky guy when it comes to his leading ladies with the likes of Park Shin hye, Moon Geun Young, Yoonah & now IU. πŸ™‚ Now I’m really really excited to watch them…’you don’t have to be beautiful to turn me on…’ πŸ˜€

    Thank You jangkeunsukforever!

  4. Let’s not criticize the actress before and after the drama. Sometimes is not that they cannot act but rather a job mismatch. Like the drama you are my pet, Kim Ha-neul is a good actress but just don’t shine or miscast, but she did so well in you are my destiny and won so many awards.
    To all the eels, JKS is always handsome, cute charming even if he shaves all his hair on his head or appear naked LOL
    Whether this drama is successful, fantabulous, fantastic, it should come from outsider and not the eels. That I will say is the honest answer.
    So let’s be more optimistic,sit down relax and enjoy the drama!!

  5. Finally confirmed!!!

    I don’t know who is IU until now. I don’t know if she is a good actress or not, never watched her dramas before. But I am going to know her better from now. In fact, I like all Sukkie’s Dramas leading ladies…so I’m sure I will like IU, too.

    With this news, I am just soooo happy eel that the leading girl is confirmed. (I don’t have to suffer worrisome syndrome with uncertainty and anxiety of guessing Who is in, Who is out now? I can sleep better from now…..kkkkkkkk)

    I can’t wait this drama!!!! I miss Actor Jang so much!!! Always ZikZin Sukkie!!!!

    Fighting Beautiful Man!!!!!

  6. Hahahaha…. Check out this IUs article: http://theeelsfamily.blogspot.ca/2013/10/article-iu-to-appear-on-pretty-man-i.html

    I mean, I don’t know anything about this girl but she really expresses her self in a bit awkward ways… She wants to ‘work like a cow’? What does that even mean?

    Anyways, her reason(s) for choosing Pretty Man project are not very flattening…

    Still hoping for the best and keeping my fingers crossed!!! Go, Pretty Man, go!!!

    Peace out!

  7. Aaa ah, she is the one who played the lead role in You’re the Best, Lee Soon Shin. She is lovely and I am pretty sure that she does not have plastic surgery. Probably the real Korean beauty, small flat face and nose. She is pretty tall like the younger generation Korean girls. Looking forward to her acting with our Prince. I think “to work like a cow” is similar to “to work like a buffalo”, it means to work very hard without complaining.

    • I saw her when my niece watched Dream High 1. She is lovable, as new in acting in Dream High she has impressed me. She as so natural. But was so notable was her great voice. I hope Sukkie and IU will sing the OST for this drama.
