Shadow Beauty

This drama had a great potential to become something spectacular because it covers some major points of our modern society, meaning, influence of social media and distorted image of perfection that many are trying to achieve.

Another aspect vaguely portrayed was what's actually happening behind the closed doors (meaning in real life, when the camera is off), depicting fragile emotional and mental stances.

Given the appropriate amount of screen time I think it could have been fantastic - this way as a viewer I wasn't totally happy with it because its shortness didn't give all the characters and story in general the chance to properly develop to its full potential.

This series is very good.

Every freaking episode will shock you and you never expect what will happen.

With every episode you will discover some new information about the characters story that will allow you to understand more and more about them and why they act and feel certain way.

The performances are brilliant and they make all their characters emotions feel so raw.

The message is very relevant in today's society, obsessed with high unrealistic beauty standards and how this affects emotionally and psychologically so many people.

The FL will doubt everyone around her and will try to drive away all the people dearest to her just because she has very low self esteem.

It is very heartwarming to watch her discover how wrong she was, how strong love and friendship can be and how the only way to happiness is being yourself.

Short, thrilling and sweet, watch this, you won't regret it.

Reality of the dual individuality of a person. Lately beauty is seen as obsession & power rather than admiring & gift of nature. This k-drama beautifully depicted the social issues & the world of social media where faceless people give their views , likes & comments. Shadow beauty is ironically satire for today's definition of beauty. I will recommend it to watch. P. S. Love yourself cause your are rare.

This serie is a great lesson to all teenagers and high school students , talk about bullying and beauty standards and psychical problems .

The story is about a girl that been bullied at school by students in her school , after school she turns into instagram celibraty with her heavy makeup and photo editing .

People who have been bullied understand how it can affect people and it change the way the look at them selves please dont destroy peoples lives ,the world is already an ugly place so dont make it worse.

"I would rather be a little nobody than to be an evil somebody."
