True Beauty

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.

Honestly i feel like seojun is being played bad in the story. I've been bouncing back and forth amongst team SUHO and team SEOJUN, but now that i think of it.. i feel like Seojun deserves Jugyeong more than SuHo. Seojun is a hardworking boy who changed 90% of his personality for jugyeong, he even decided to continue his dream for Jugyeong ~(sorry I can't give much spoilers)~ :( . I didn't buy viki to get my feelings hurt!!! true beauty community.. 🤡😭 also: give back my boy seojun his scenes with jugyeong

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 really liked this drama, the characters grew and changed well. I also like the message of the story, and the acting is great. Even though Ju Kyung didn't end up with who I wanted her to the show still had a really good ending. There's sad parts but overall it's pretty light and funny.

If you want to laugh a lot with the characters, if you want to get emotional and if you like the cliché moments that makes you fall in love, you should definitely check out this drama. Ignore the low ratings, most refer to one of the characters not getting more what he deserved, which I agree, but giving a 6 or 7 is even more unfair, especially when you consider the whole drama.
