MANILA, Philippines - K-pop superstars Minho of boyband Shinee and Sulli of girl group (F)X team up for the very first time on ABS-CBN’s To the Beautiful You, which airs weekdays after Pinoy True Stories.
Minho and Sulli got into acting via this Korean adaptation of the hit Taiwanese soap Hana Kimi, where they both received their first acting awards as Best Newcomers and Best Couple in the 2012 SBS Drama Awards.
Follow the story of JC Goo, a Korean girl who lives in the US who will fall in love with high-jump athlete, Paul John Kang, after seeing him compete on TV. She begins to idolize Paul whom she considers as her biggest inspiration in life.
Paul, however, meets an accident that could possibly end his career which will prompt JC to go back to Korea, attend the same school Paul goes to and carry on a mission to convince the track and field star not to quit sports.
There is a catch, though. Paul attends an all-boys high school and JC must disguise herself as a boy to be enrolled as a student.
The Taiwanese version of Hana Kimi starring Taiwanese heartthrob Wu Chun and Taiwanese sweetheart Ella Chen also aired on ABS-CBN back in 2008.
