About the Drama

Tae Kyung and On Yu are in search of a new member for their idol group, A.N.JELL. However, their new band member Mi Nam suffers an injury at the last moment. So Mi Nyu, his twin sister, is asked to step in for her brother. The rest of the drama follows the behind-the-scenes life of an idol group.

Go Mi Nyu is a sister-in-training. When her twin brother Go Mi Nam successfully auditions into the musical band A.N.JELL but is forced to leave for the United States to correct a botched plastic surgery effort, she is approached by his manager to pose as Mi Nam for the duration of his recovery.

Against her wishes, Mi Nyu accepts in order to fulfill her brother's dream of finding their mother. Now, posing as Mi Nam, Mi Nyu enters the group A.N.JELL and meets its members; Hwang Tae Kyung, Kang Shin Woo and Jeremy.

Tae Kyung, the group's leader and composer and the 2 main characters in Mi Nyu and Tae Kyung are like fire and water....It is so comical as to how Tae Kyung catergorized Mi Nyu as a disaster zone and was so afraid of "him" in the begining and Mi Nyu can't help getting into alot of funny incidents and dragging Tae Kyung along. They really make such a cute couple and it was so sweet whenever Tae Kyung tries to help Mi Nyu out even though he tries hard to stay away from her. Mi Nyu slowly falls in love with him, only to find herself entangled in a love triangle between him and Shin Woo.

Additionally, Mi Nyu finds herself rivaled against Yoo He Yi, an actress who also has feelings for Tae Kyung.

Comments:

Jeremy also harbors a one-sided love for her despite not knowing she's a girl. This is a old fashioned (commonly used in different drama - e.g coffee prince, 就想赖着你 and even japanese drama like Hanazakari no Kimitachi e) You can see his denial and delima

Totally hate it when the lead actor (Jang Geun Suk) touch his nose with his lips and trying to act like a pig...not cool at all...was he suppose to look cute? Some of my friends find him cute in that action...OMG...I personally dislikes that action it a lot...But I totally love Jang Geun Suk...LOL...

Its is amazing how the Hwang Tae Kyung can perform a simple surgery and added the pig nose onto the rabbit plush toy...and it was done so well!!! LOL...When you watch the show look out for the horrible plush toy "the pig rabbit"

I cannot imagine that an official website for idol band A.N.JELL (http://www.anjells.com) from the drama was also launched.

Something interesting I found out from Wikipedia

During its run, several car companies offered to have their cars be used on the drama for promotional purposes. The latest car from the German automaker Audi introduced their Audi S5 on the miniseries, with Jang Geun Suk (Tae Kyung) driving it.

Additionally, the soundtrack of the miniseries also sold 20,000 copies within its first seven days of released due to the popularity of the show. The album became a top seller on Melon, Dosirak, and Mnet. The album was written and produced by Han Sung-ho, who also worked on the dramas Lovers, On Air, and Brilliant Legacy.

Because the drama features a concert footage in it, A.N.JELL actually performed as mini-concert, where it was reported that as many 25,000 fans showed up. The group performed the songs “Promise” and “Still (As Ever)”, which is actually Lee Hongki solo soundtrack songs; Jang Geun Suk also sang “Good Bye” and “What Should I Do,” the latter of which is the track Tae-kyung remakes for his mother in the drama. Park Shin Hye sang her character’s theme song, “Lovely Day". Numerous fans have watched the drama online, where it reportedly gained a cult-following.

Totally amazing!
