True Beauty (2020)

Storyline was bit off but the actors carried it well !

Just finished this drama ... I have very mixed feelings for this one !! Here's why

Things I liked about this drama :
1) Both MLs had there own struggle stories
2) Almost every character was strong in this drama
3) Suho deserved Ju Kyung bcoz he was from the start with her .... when he saved her from suicide , when he knew her secrets , when he told she's pretty even without makeup, when he saved her many times from accidently showing up her real face and also ju Kyung deserved him coz she understood his trauma and helped him expressing himself . Because of JK suho actually went from a cold person to soft , happy ,more responsive and good towards friends. I won't say seo Jun was bad , he was really good but I didn't feel the chemistry in JK and him. For JK it was always Suho and also in the start Seo Jun didn't actually have feelings for her , he was only using her to get suho but when he actually started feeling for her , he never expressed it after having so many chances .
4)So Ah and Tae Hoon , Joo Young and Go woon , Hee Kyung and Han Jun Woo were best couples ! I'll say I love them more than the MLs .
5) The wedding scene was chaotic but Ig it was my favorite part in last episode and brought life to it
6) Episode 11 and 12 will always be my favourite coz of the bromance of Su Ho and Seo Jun ! 😩❤️
7) Seo Jun and Soo Jin were best SLs .... so powerful and energetic characters . Both of thems fighting scenes were gold !
8) Had many comedy scenes and loved them so much !

Things I didn't like :
1) I dropped this drama many a times coz it gets unbearable at some points but ig last episodes were bit worth it
2) They did Seo Jun so bad 😭 IK it was according to Manga but still my heart broke into pieces for him when he cried on stares ! May be he deserved a better ending where he finally moved on coz in the last scene where he sung , I still could see his love for her when she applied lipstick to him 😭.
3) The only time I hated Su Ho was the reason of breakup .... like it wasn't even needed when it was just one month apart ... Ik long distance relationships are hard but he could've tried to also understand her side coz she even had harder time. When he came back, he actually should've apologized sincerely first than acting like nothing happened.
4) Too draggy drama tbh
5) don't watch if you get SL syndrome , coz it's too much in this drama .
6) Many misunderstanding scenes which made me wanna drop the drama

At the end I'll truly appreciate every actor in this drama coz even if the storyline was a bit off , the actors carried the drama for me atleast !

Baca aja dulu!~

Sebenarnya drama ini punya pesan yang bagus ya untuk para cewek-cewek dan semua semua orang, cuma karena ini termasuk drama musiman dan banyak banget kan yang overproud jadi aku pun agak males nontonnya. Ternyata nggak cuman aku yang ngerasain kaya gitu tapi mutualan drama aku juga banyak banget yang bilang kayak gitu, terus pas aku ngirimin menfess juga banyak yang replay punya perasaan kayak gitu. Trus ada masalah dimana penonton indo serang PYN padahal itu cuma drama 😀

Serta ada scene yang pas mereka satu sekolahan deh kayaknya camping, itu kan Suho dan jukyung naik kapal kecil gitu dan ceritanya jukyung jatuh sama Suho. Tapi pas aku lihat BTSnya mereka nggak jatuh, karena kan juga syuting lagi winter jadi enggak mungkin banget jatuh ke air yang dingin banget. Jadi pihak editing juga punya pengaruh besar 😂 Oh ya disini aku nggak terlalu tertarik sama kisah percintaan main rolenya, tapi aku malahan lebih tertarik sama kisah cintanya Ju Yeong sama Hee Kyung. Karena justru mereka jauh lebih lucu 😂😂 OSTnya enak bgt wey apalagi yang diciptain SAya, Yuju, car the garden selalu nyantol di kepala😭 VALID NO DEBAT! Playlist on insta @cinndyra bio

True Beauty sticks to a tried and true formula that works

This drama doesn't try to do anything new, and I enjoyed it for that. I thought it was well written for the most part, except the last few episodes seemed unnecessary plot-wise, but I enjoyed the ending. A few topics were addressed around social media and bullying, and it was nice to see.

The acting is top-notch, in my opinion. Each character was relatable in their own way and really brought something interesting to the story. I rarely enjoy all of the side plots that occur; however, in this drama, I really enjoyed every plot-line explored.
I also liked each of the male romance options and would have been happy to see the main character end up with either of them. The story is well written, with each character's back-story well thought-out.

I had quite a few laughs watching this drama and enjoyed it for what it is. Overall, this drama doesn't take itself too seriously or try to reinvent the wheel but does what it sets out to do exceptionally well.

True Beauty is both outer and inner beauty

Likes
1. Jukyung and Suho 🥰 I think even without the childhood connection they could have still worked the relationship. I love that Suho loved Jukyung for herself and Jukyung helped Suho come out of his shell.
2. Poor Seojun, he really is a good guy, but just not the right one for Jukyung. I was hoping for a cameo of someone pretty at the end so that Seojun will have his own happy ever afer but i liked that he was able to debut!
3. Still is hard for me to watch the bullying scenes but i love that Jukyung was able to stand up and accept herself with or without makeup. And im glad she found real friends like Soo Ah.
4. Jukyung's family is weird but fun! I love the softhearted dad and the cute younger brother.
5. Bromance between Suho, Seojun and Seyeon.
6. All the cameos feom Extra You cast.. but why is Kim Young Dae's cameo so short? (Maybe he was busy filming Penthouse).
7. The makeup PPL and the OST! I almost added to cart all the colorgram cosmetics in Lazada last weekend 😁 but restrained myself. But i bought the OST!

Dislikes
1. The last two episodes felt like fillers, although they were able to wrap everyone's story. It did feel like it was more of appreciation episodes for Seo Jun as he got a lot of screen time.. he had a date with Jukyung and confessed his feelings, he still maintained his friendship with Suho and he debuted and sang twice.
2. I didnt expect the time jump, but I appreciated seeing the gang all grown up and living their lives after school. I didnt necessarily hate the breakup, i thought it was the most sensible reason at that time. Suho didnt know when he will be back and he didnt want Jukyung to wait for him. I hoped instead of Suho breaking up with Jukyung like that, and going silent for 2 years, they could have mutually agreed to hold off the relationship until he was back. I think Jukyung would have understood it.
3. I missed Soojin and i was hoping she had a better ending than volunteering overseas. It felt like she was trying hard to atone for her past behavior. She can go back to school, do what she wants and be her badass self again.
4. I'm prolly the only one who didn't like Hee Kyung and Mr Han's romance. I mostly fast forwarded their scenes.
5. I wished more reconciliation scenes between Suho and dad.

Rating: 9/10 (8.5 for the story +0.5 for Eunwoo)

IDK From where to start. its a really cute drama, characters are also cute and funny. BTW I was reading webtoon, I enjoyed it in the beginning but I stopped reading midway because it became so boring. characters were not changing in the webtoon. Ending did not go according to my hopes and i found myself disappointed. BUT I honestly liked the drama. The main reason i enjoyed watching is oppas. LOL There was Cha Eun Woo, Hwang In-yeop. How could not I enjoy?
“True Beauty” is TV series for those who need a little bit of fun and humor in their lives. I recommend you this drama. Here is to watch the love triangle, funny antics... In addition, i am broken-hearted due to the ending.

I like this drama. Not a new story line it is same story line tht lot of dramas had. But characters made it this hit. Actually not characters it is beacoz of actors this drama is hit this much.. i say like it becz story has lot of silly jokes thtz why i said tht this is hit becoz of actors.. actually i must say write made ju kyungs family like a idiots. I really dont like tht there r lot of scenes tht are not jokes just lame things.. ju kyungs father ,sister, and brother in low thire characters are too much i dont know why writer did tht. It made whole drama drop. But so hoo, se jun, ju kyung, lee jin, and every students characters and actors acting are well written and well played.. becoz of them i love this drama but i can not give 10 stars to acting and story becoz of tht lame characters..

As for acting I think all of them are good actors even tht lame characters.. it is writers fault make them idiot way. Other than everyones acting r great.. 3 main leads i dont want tell about them they are out standing.. and ju kyungs lil brother is cute i like him too..

Overall good drama

cliche but good

The story starts of with a girl, Lim Jugyeong, who gets bullied for being "ugly" and wears makeup to hide her "ugly self". She transfers to a new high school where she meets rich, lonely guy Lee Su Ho and a troublemaker, Han Seo Jun. The plot already sounds cliché and obviously we all know who is she going to end up with.

What I liked in the drama is that Jugyeong stood up for herself and embraced her "ugly" face which was a good character development whereas in the webtoon, she has not but we will have to see as the webtoon has not finished yet.

What I did not like in the drama in episode 16, was Su Ho broke up with her which to me, I understood why because he did not want to hurt her and did not want her to wait for him as he was unsure if he was able to return to her. But, being up on her face when he returned was very childish of him. She clearly felt uncomfortable. The drama Su Ho is very different to the webtoon Su Ho.

The thing that really was painful was Seo Jun, he knew that he could not force her to love him but he did so many things to help her, like get her a job. It broke my heart when he let her go to Su Ho and he ran off to to cry alone. He knew he was not the one for her but still had those eyes like he is still in love with her. Jugyeong was very clueless and had no clue Seo Jun loved her until the very end. The director really gave him a dirty ending, they just showed him that he is debuting, that he told himself that when he becomes an idol "he will forget his feelings."

Another thing was that when Su Ho and Jugyeong dated, it was very cringeworthy that they had to "hide" like every typical Korean drama.

The music was very uplifting and was suitable for the three characters.

I would definitely rewatch this drama but not too often because it is like your everyday typical drama.

Uh.

Well, I'm okay about Jukyung choosing lead A or B. It depends on the story anyway, not on the watcher's preference. We can't choose Jukyung's love partner, right? So I don't rate it low because Jukyung chose her partner that I don't like, not or I rate it high because Moon Gayoung is my favorite actress. Aside, these are the pros and cons I could remember lol.

Pros:
- K-drama iconic school comedy scenes are everywhere! No need to worry about getting bored of this drama.
- Hwang In Yeop carries the drama on his shoulder. I mean, his acting is on point.
- Moon Gayoung can still be a high schooler foreverrr
- Supporting roles did their great job! This drama is so lovely and lively, thanks to them!
- This drama contains real social issues in South Korea: Bullying in schools.
- The conflicts between characters can really make you feel the bittersweet of the drama.

Cons:
- The biggest minus of this drama is Eunwoo's acting. While I do know his "handsome-ness" is important for the prince-like character, he's still much lacking in expressing the character's emotions. He looks like smiling while he's supposed to mad/angry/sad/etc. One part that satisfied me is when he found out that something wrong with his family and he had to mad. This was the first time I think his expression is correct.
- What da hell is that flying scene!? Too much and too far from realistic.
- Cringe scenes are overloaded (might be called "fan-service" for fans).
- Unsolved problems in the plot: Bullies end up nothing?
- Where's Hajin? We need her cameooooo :v
