Korean Drama or K-Drama has been growing in popularity over the last few years. As usual, regional television shows generally hit their peak within the country that it’s produced in. For instance, back in the 1960s and 1970s, K-Drama was consumed almost exclusively in Korea.

Eventually, Korean-based projects made their way across the world following the end of the military rule in South Korea. Obviously, there would have been much more to watch during that time than just Death Row Prisoner (1956).

Beauty standards are a universal pressure, even in K-dramas like True Beauty and My ID Is Gangnam Beauty. Lovely Runner has many similarities to True Beauty, from the same series writer to a few crossovers in the main cast. K-dramas like 18 Again and Lovely Runner see their main characters traveling to the past and getting the opportunity to change the future's course of events.

Lim Ju-kyung is the likable protagonist in True Beauty and, just as she does, other leading K-drama characters deal with the relentless beauty expectations in society. K-dramas are known for their swooping portrayals of romance and gripping dramatic storylines, but an underrated theme in shows is those that deal with beauty standards in South Korea. Every country has its take on what true beauty is, but despite the specificity of South Korean culture in K-dramas, the pressure to fit within said beauty standards is universally understood.
