"Beautiful Mind" (BM), is a show that proves viewers do not have to choose between an engaging plot and character development (*cough* "Stranger" *cough*). Furthermore, it is a show that reminds us that we can have our cake and eat it too: a serious plot with moments that still make us burst out laughing or crying--
AKA a Medical-Crime-Psychological-Romantic-Comedy drama.
The Story:
If you have ever had a drama that was 20 episodes long that decided to wrap up all loose ends in the last 50 minutes, don't worry, BM doesn't. BM is only 14 episodes, but neatly ties up all its plot points throughout more than one episode. The happenings in each episode are pretty predictable, but the overall plot should keep most viewers saying, 'I did not see THAT coming.' The show takes a couple episodes to build, but after episode five I could not stop watching. That being said, the story sometimes fell short of amazing, but I am going to blame that on the episode reduction.
Acting/Cast:
There is no doubt that Jang Hyuk's acting is the most outstanding, but all the actors and actresses in this show were very good. The chemistry seems real, the relationships are not cliche, and overacting is practically nonexistent. No doubts, this show should have won some acting awards.
Music:
You would think it would have more than two OSTs, but once you hear "Dirt" by Bernard Park, you will realize why the show doesn't need any more music. I will say though, once or twice they could have restrained from playing it.
In conclusion, the minds that created this show were beautiful~
