CEBU CITY—The cast of the “My ID is Gangnam Beauty” had arrived in Cebu for a reward vacation following the success of their drama.

The lead couple in the drama — Astro’s Cha Eun Woo and Im Soo Hyang — arrived at the Mactan Cebu International Airport at around 11:30 p.m. on Friday night (October 19). 

Cebuano fans were waiting outside the airport’s arrival area to catch a glimpse of the two celebrities. 

Among them was 19-year-old Sian Lim who waited outside the airport since 9:50 p.m. 

“There were mga tarps and banners sa airport both for Eun Woo and Soo Hyang. Kalma din naman yung mga fans while waiting. They screamed when they came out. Even airport staff — guards, porters, attendants–were also waiting outside and inside of the arrival area,” she recalled.

Other cast members had arrived earlier around noon on Friday. 

According to reports from Kstreet Manila, the actors and actresses from the drama were rewarded with a five days and four nights vacation. 

They will reportedly fly back to Seoul, South Korea on October 23. 

The Korean drama includes actors Jo Woori and Kwak Dong Yeon. The program received high ratings during its 16-episode run.

Aside from its high rating, the drama was also praised for its critical approach on the emphasis on physical appearances and the true meaning of happiness and beauty in society through the life of Kang Mi Rae — the main lead who had undergone plastic surgery after suffering from bullying during her younger years.

“My ID is Gangnam Beauty” started airing on July 27 and wrapped up on September 15.
