Shadow Beauty

I can honestly say this is the first show or movie that has ever made me cry - and I've watched a lot. The way the story unfolded, especially the ending, was so beautifully done. It hit me in a way I didn't expect and made me realize something really deep: sometimes, the only way out is through the truth, no matter how hard it is.

This show made me feel everything - heartbreak, hope, love, pain - all of it. I was so emotionally connected the entire time, and by the end, I was just sitting there, speechless and in tears. It's rare for something to leave such a strong mark on me, but this did.

I love it more than I can put into words. It's definitely earned a spot in my top 5 favorite shows of all time. If you haven't seen it yet, please do - you won't regret it.

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."

The show started out slow in the first episode...However, the deeper you go the more it wows you. I truly enjoyed this drama. Everyone acted great and it really pulled at my heartstrings. I even did the ugly cry a few times. It was just THAT good... I wish the show was longer as it was just too short for my liking, but we can't have everything we want. The show is definitely a must watch.

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.

Korean Mini Series "Shadow Beauty" is a dark version of True Beauty with more focus on the main lead and her progress in learning to be herself rather than the romantic prospect.

The drama does a great job creating the right atmosphere right from the start, with the main character being all creepy and sad at the same time. Her family situation seems ominous, her school life is a nightmare and all this has resulted in her seeing enemies everywhere and trusting none, even her best friend. The story, with the right pace for such a short drama, covers all the aspects of her life, with a smooth showdown in the end and a nice conclusion that wraps up everything.

However, the drama didn't handle the transition from a bully to a friend of the second lead. All the side characters actually were briefly presented, as the focus was mainly on the main lead.

The performances, though, were all great and the ending of the drama with the focus on the main character's revelation was pretty interesting and refreshing.

So, overall, 8 out of 10.
