True Beauty

The show changes a few things from the webtoon but keeps true to the main story line. The casting choices are very well done! It's a great show if you are looking for something romantic that is also quite touching at times. The main characters struggle with real problems and the show address them in a great way.

At first I was a little annoyed that the concept was overplayed, but the writing and the character development of all the characters, not just the main ones, was what really drew me into this drama.

The ending was one of the most fulfilling endings I've seen in a K drama in a long time. It really allowed you to feel satisfied, rather than the "well what the hell did I waste my time on that for?" that you quite often get left with.

Absolutely recommend it. I particularly enjoyed the storylines of the secondary characters.

Just finished True Beauty tonight (it's the first full show I've got through in a while without being distracted by other shows 😊) and I absolutely loved it. So happy with how it turned out. It's definitely going on my faves list and will no doubt be rewatched sometime.

The theme was similar to My ID is Gangnam Beauty, though I'm glad that the heroine in this one didn't go as far as the Gangnam one did with an irreversible decision (trying to avoid sharing spoilers for anyone who has yet to see either show). Guess she had a less totally clueless parent which helped.

Loved the supporting cast, and it's hard to pick a fave but I love the heroine's sister and her grapefruit 😍💜

Anyway, that's about it I guess for my thoughts. Except to add that I very much enjoyed the dreamy dudes on offer.

It is a beautiful story if I relate with bullying, self-consciousness and the good side of makeup. But if I talk about the romantic part, it feels messy. Even till the last scene you'll be hanging thinking about what Seo Jun might be feeling. The writing part of the romantic storyline could have been better.

The acting - 10/10 Great acting by the complete cast! So that's a plus that made me rate it 8/10 Enjoy it for a deeper look into what "looks" mean to this generation!

I've read the webtoon before and the drama is much better. It's so light and sweet to watch also following the main characters (jukyung and suho) growth. Even though the drama is targeted to teens I enjoyed it surprisingly. The drama is really great to lift the mood.
