A feel-good high school romance comedy

Loved it! What makes it stand out for me is the well-placed humor that runs consistent throughout the drama. It will touch your heart, refresh on some life lessons and make you cry in some parts, but definitely it will leave a feel-good effect.

Cons: may not be for those looking for wild plot twists or high drama. It's an adaptation of a webtoon filled with well-loved ingredients for a high school romance.

Pros: Highly recommended when you want to smile and laugh and drown yourself in a good romance comedy. Casting is amazing, terrific job to the casting team on this. The OST is addicting.

Friendship Vs True Love

Overall i was so obsessed with this drama untill now, the ending was quite okay for me. I just hope that Han Seojun can get his happiness to tho. But yah, drama is always a drama. A main hero must be the main character and ending for the heroin right? Hoping for more date for Seojun & Jukjyung. Hmm, right now i just wait for the webtoon ending since it more complicated the drama itself. For those who wants to watch this drama, i highly recommend it because it can make your heart fluttered and cannot miss the episodes everyday 😁😂 its just based on my experience. Enjoy your kdrama guys. Goodluck in future for all cast in True Beauty. Will support them in every of their drama, especially Hwang In Youp oppa ❤

As soon as i finished from watching the drama, i just want to write something just to let out my feelings about this drama.

Everyone in the drama is really good for bringing their characters into life. I really love the dynamic from LJK's family. The parents's relationship, brother and sister's relationship, and how LJK's dealing with her problems with friends, boyfriend, and also herself. I also loved how the drama is taking a different direction from the webtoon. I think the director and the scriptwriter maybe taking an inspiration from Jdrama, because the balance and timing of the drama are really good (imo). It also quite a compact drama, when almost every problems can be resolved in just around 1 episode. Not too long, not too short i guess for my taste.

About the acting itself, i have to salute the FL actress. I really love her acting here. She is not affraid to look ugly and almost wore no make up, that's a commitment girl! She also can act with her body and makes me laugh lots of time. And what i really love about her is that she's never over acting. She acts natural, on point, not to subtle but not to over the top that makes me cringe. I think she is a talented actress and can have a bright future for her acting career. Her overall acting in this drama can make me believe that she is indeed a 18 years old teenager and not a 23 years old young adult, with some problem with her self esteem, school and friends.

The supporting characters are also really good, specially the family's members (her brother and sister are hillarious!), Mr. Han ( i duno how he still can manage not to laugh when he was acting), KSJ (he is good in doing expression and his voice... i loved it) and also Mr. Prince (his scenes are not alot, but left deep impression for me). Also i have to praise CEW as the ML. I think his acting skill improved alot in this drama compare to his previous work, considering he was playing almost the same character hehe (if you know which drama). I also think he is quite mature and a reserved person despite his young age, because he tend not to overact in his emotional scene and i like it!. But i have to admit, sometimes he still looks too stiff and a little bit off for his drunken scene (maybe he never drunk before? hehe). Overall, there's still lots of room for him to improve his acting skill in the future.

But still, it is not a perfect drama. That's why lots of people can love it and others may hate it. But for a family and school drama, i think it can stand the bar quite high. One thing that make me not to score this drama too high was the wedding scene in ep16. A little bit makes me cringe and want to fast foward that specific scene (too over the top and it's kinda destroy the drama's atmosphere that has been built since ep 1, such a shame for me-imo). Overall, this is a good drama if you want to watch a lighthearted and warm family drama. It also can make you laugh when you're feeling a little bit stress or sad, at least for me it really works. I sincerely recommend this drama.

I never felt second male syndrome, but I loved the acting.

I started by reading the webtoon. I found that a drama based on the was going to release. I was just like wahhh!. After reading some episodes I felt like the story was turning into a trash.Then I stopped reading and focused on the drama.

Well, I'm team SUHO!

I think this drama is second one in this year which have a strong second male syndrome after start up.

I never felt any second male syndrome in this drama. I watch this drama in telegram, and many have second male syndrome. They also know that no matter what the female lead will only end up with the male lead 🙂.

I LOVED THE ACTING OF CHA EUN WOO AND THE OST WAS AWESOME 😍

Many of you might find this drama with cliche and boring. But I loved it 😍.

I enjoyed the comedy scenes of FL and her younger brother 😂. When I was watching this , I remembered the fights with my brother.

MANY OF MIGHT FIND DIFFICULT TO MOVE ON FROM THIS DRAMA.
I'M ALSO FINDING IT DIFFICULT TO MOVE.

When I saw the preview of 15th episode, I thought of dropping it because I felt the story was turning into han seo jun and im joo kyung. I stopped the webtoon because of this. But I successfully completed it!


THE CHEMISTRY BETWEEN THE LEADS WAS AWESOME.
THE OST WAS NICE ESPECIALLY THE ONE BY CHA EUN WOO.
THE STORY WAS NICE.

IT WAS A NICE ONE .
IF YOU ARE GOING TO GIVE IT A TRY 😜, THEN GIVE IT.
DON'T BE BOTHERED BY OTHERS OPINION 🤠.

True Beauty Review! :)

Hi! This is my first time writing a review so I’m not sure if it’ll be good or not but here it is. Before the drama was aired and made, I had already read the webtoon, so I already knew the characters and I was familiar with the storyline,
The reason I have the story an 9.0 was because it really is a very good story. They included how she went through ppl finding out about her real face and how she overcame it and was able to be without makeup in school. That’s a transformation of the character and I’m glad it was included. But the story did have some things it could patch up. Like from the beginning, they made Suho like Jugyeong, so it was predictable that they would end up together. That leaves no room for Seojun to even fight for her. And when Suho left for the USA after his dad got sick, it only lasted half an episode. I think it could have maybe lasted a whole episode, to make Seojun feel better. My making Suho go to USA, I get that it was like a climax and they might break up, but they didn’t make it as dramatic as it should’ve been. Believe me, I got second lead syndrome while this was going on, and I bet many other did too.
For the acting and cast I definitely gave a 10/10. The casting is amazing and all the actors suit there roles so perfectly. I have absolutely no complaints.
For music I have an 8.0. There was a lot of music in the show, and the songs they had and OST’s were pretty nice.
Rewatch value is 8.5. I gave it that rating because the plot even after watching is still quite clear and it’s not a story that can be easily forgotten. But this genre or romcom is quite addictive and attractive, so I think considering the majority, more people would wanna rewatch it.
Well that’s all! Overall it’s a 9/10. This drama is amazing! I would recommend it to anyone who wants a drama about overcoming hardships and being truly happy. Remember, everyone is beautiful. What on the outside doesn’t matter, it’s the inside that counts :) (ewwww I’m cringing lol)

I really love the series to the point that I'm too into it specially during the airing of the first half of the overall episodes. I even downloaded the webtoon app just to read the original version and it pains me that some scenes are changed. The impact is totally huge for me, they also deserve the hype from the viewers. But... after EP10, my excitement vanished and the story went downhill.

Due to its popularity, I've been spoil every single episode Everytime I scroll into my social media accounts. But it's okay because I understand that it is a talk-of-the-town drama. Although the story is kinda cliche, the characters able to cover and make the viewers love the show.

Now let's talk about the cast. We all know that HAN SEO JUN OWNS THE SHOW. I am a fan of Hwang In Yeop since the beginning of his career and I'm so glad that finally he was recognized and love by so many. He portray Seojun excellent!! There's no doubt that he's a good actor. Plus Han Seo Jun is the best boy in the whole story. He is a man who helps his family by working so hard. The only cons about him is he is not into academics and sometimes been into several fights. But thanks to this, he first meet Jugyeong. Waaaaahhh anyways, I am Team Seojun both the webtoon and drama version cause hello he deserve some love and it's okay if it is not Jugyeong cause we can't really push someone to love us.

Then we have Changed Eunwoo as Lee Suho. I must say that Eunwoo's acting is not consistent. There are scenes that he seems to be lost with his character and it really affects the show. Tbh, Eunwoo knows to act but he is not really that good. But still, he got me during the scenes of his crying in the hospital.

Next is Moon Gayoung as Jugyeong. I really love Jugyeong in the webtoon version but in the drama version I find her cringe maybe because Gayoung's really fit into a cute role with a pushy and force cute young teen intonation.

Park Youna in the other hand excels in acting. Her portraying the Kang Soo Jim role is really perfect. I love her acting ever since. The way she delivers the message into her eyes is so fascinating. I'm just sad that she got fewer scenes compare to other supporting actor.

Lastly we have the side characters who did their role very well. The story is being light and funny because of them. It gives a good vibes in every episodes. Specially to Jugyeong's family. I love how chaotic and funny they are. I also love her mother for giving comfort to Jugyeong when she finally know the reason why she is obsessed with make up. That's what a supporting parent really is. The father, sister, and brother of Jugyeong are one of the best people in the show. Then we have their classmates hahahah it's really fun to witness Cho Rong squad and Take Hoon squad together. There are also divided to team suho and seojun hahaha. Soo Ah is also cute in the series.

There are too many couples in the show and I love them both specially the Gowoon and Jooyoung couple hahaha and Mr. Han and his strawberry. But for suho and jugyeong's chemistry, it is not stable at all. There are scenes when I feel nothing at all. It is not a solid butterflies for me. I hate it cause the main couple should be the one who gives me butterflies but it isn't consistent :(

MUSIC

I'm in the mood for dancing...

The moment I hear this, I immediately downloaded it hahahah cause it's cute and catchy. Aside from it, Missing You is so good too. Thanks Chani and In Yeop for your beautiful and angelic voice!


Okay, it was long enough and I have to end this although I got many more things to say.

10/10 for ep1-9 but went downhill in the last few episodes so overall I'm going to give this a 9/10 rating.

Thanks for the beautiful time True Beauty.

This drama was a fun one, definitely enjoyed it even though the story was mostly basic.
The point of this drama was that even though every part of the drama was basic and mostly predictable, the writer made it fun and almost fresh, we knew we saw this before, but still looked forward and enjoyed it.
Some of the characters broke out of the general basic norms and it was fun to watch, but others embodied the norms, which still wasn't super annoying.
The number of people who watched this show on air made it more fun to watch. Literally, the whole world was talking about it and sometimes the seojun/suho debate got outta hand, but still, it was fun.
The osts were really fun to hear too, I will be hearing them often!
*****spoiler alert*****
I hated the way they made soo jin evil after giving us hope that she'll stay as jugkyung's friend and introducing her to be such a great character. They could have handled this better.

In the end, they really had to pull the "I'll come back after few years and act like nothing happened " trout. Aren't we all tired of this? I hate this move so much. There are mobile phones, we are in the 21st century. Kindly stop with this writers.

Other than these few story flaws I enjoyed this show a lot ♡

If you enjoy the genre, watch it

Some people don’t like cheesy dramas, but this drama in particular is very cheesy. If you don’t like it, then there’s no reason to watch it. If it’s too cringe or cliché, watch something else.

The whole premise of this drama is from this cliché drama. So if you choose to watch True Beauty knowing that it will be a ‘cringy rom-com’ and get mad for it being ‘too cringy’, that is foolish.

If you like cheesy rom-coms like me, then the rating (of 9) applies. I personally like Weightlifting Fairy, Strong Woman, because l enjoy the genre and cute moments. There’s no point in giving this drama a bad review for its cringiness if you can just spend your time somewhere else.

This is a good light drama. It’s not deep. It’s a good cliché drama to watch on the side of something more exciting (like maybe fantasy or apocalyptic). It’s worth watching.

The directors and writers did a fabulous job considering how little they have from the Webtoon. It was fun to see what they could come up with. They were very creative.

Overall, there are some dramas that are better, of course, but just because they are better doesn’t mean that this drama is worse. (I sound like a broken record, but I just wanted to emphasize this.)

I also loved the cameos of Extra-ordinary You in this drama. They are fun Easter eggs because both are set in Manhwas.

If you want a fun, bubbly, cliché, and cringe rom-com to watch, this is definitely one to invest your time in.

Don’t expect something like Penthouse of Sweet Home from it. That’s barbaric. It’s a good drama for its genre.

Came for the webtoon, stayed for the drama

It was different from what I was expecting. Rather than a complete adaption from the webtoon, the drama went a very different way. I thought it'd end up with a more open ending, which could possibly lead to a season 2, but it doesn't look like we'll get one, based on the ending of the series.
From the beginning, it seems that Suho is destined to end up with Jugyeong. As a hardcore Seojun fan, I'll admit, the story did disappoint me. I truly wish he was at least given a fighting chance to get with Jugyeong, rather than being thrown a bone on the second to last episode. I'm happy he ended up happy though, at the end of the series, he seems to be over Jugyeong or at least close to it, which is nice. I started reading the webtoon a long time ago, but the way Jugyeong treats Seojun is nothing like I remember. From what I remember, it was very much a 2 sided friendship, but in the drama, it feels like Seojun's doing so much for her, while she's not really doing anything in exchange, but I guess that could be because it's unrequited love. I'm gonna be honest here, despite preferring Seojun in the webtoon, I really enjoyed Suho and Jugyeong's relationship in the drama. Sure, it was cheesy at times and kinda cliché, but I liked it personally. I loved the Heegyeong story line. Seeing her and her jamong was beautiful, it really added a lot of comedy relief and cuteness.
I could be wrong (because I haven't watched a drama in a year or two, prior to this) but I don't think I've seen any of the main cast act before, but I'm so glad to have seen it. I thought the acting was really nice, I'm really tempted to follow the actors other endeavors, especially Hwang In Yeop, who's gonna be in Annarasumanara (very good manhwa btw, I'm excited to see how he's gonna play Il Deung).
The music in this drama is honestly great, considering the webtoon plot has the same musical backstory for the boys, it was up to par. My girl Yuju did so well on 'I'm in the mood for dancing', that song was in my head for like a week I SWEAR. Honestly I feel like it could've been used a bit more, but still the music was really good. I'm not gonna lie, I did in fact shed a tear when Seojun was singing the trios song.
Would I watch this again? Definitely, but probably not for a good year or two AT LEAST. As much as I enjoyed the show, I really do think they did my boy Seojun dirty, but at least everyone's happy. This drama's gotten me re-interested in dramas, so I wanna find new stuff rather than dwell on shows I've already watched.

Totally different from webtoon which made it quite boring to watch in the end.

the main plot is not bad , i loved the main plot of the FL wearing makeup to get away from bullies and she gets involved with two guys who likes her for her personality more than looks. But i feel like the whole drama was carried by our second lead and all supporting cast. I watched the last ep because of them as i wanna know what happens to them. I loved jukyung and her friendship and family moments. And i loved Seojun, he really loved our FL but i feel like they used him till the end to keep viewers curious IN DRAMA i mean cause in WEBTOON they really used seojun in a good way not like in drama. I almost cried in 16th ep ngl.



Kinda spoilers!
I quite hated that they didn't follow the webtoon story , jukyung x suho dating should not have happened early just like in webtoon cause it became boring. Basically i love the story of webtoon more than drama. they could have made a webtoon route where soojin gets jealous because suho likes jukyung (not dating) and she uploads her no makeup face (which does happen in drama) . And suho before leaving to US tells jukyung he likes her like in webtoon . And after jukyung x seojun's breakup suho helps her and they get back together . This way the drama would be more like webtoon way . They really did use seojun and gave almost all his scenes in webtoon to suho
If seojun as a character was not there in drama , i would have liked suho. Suho is a good boyfriend but in drama his character gets a bit annoying ngl. I feel like his character in webtoon is much better .
Basically i watched this show for Cha Eun Woo and ended up falling in love with Hwang In Hyeop .
I loved that seojun became an idol in the end but the way he cried after being heartbroken is one of the saddest moment in a kdrama , i cried too.
I loved Moon Ka Young's acting she really got into the character of jukyung . And i loved the side love stories of her family members and friends .
And i loved kang soojin , i know she did the wrong choice of choosing love over friendship but she does care for jukyung as we see in ep 16 , i can't make myself hate her even though she did wrong things. Even the actress who played the role is very nice.
I gave this drama a 8.5 cause of the second lead and supporting characters , and i how they depicted school bullying , when her mom finds out about it and all.
OST- i loved some and some makes me cry everytime i hear it especially chani (sf9) starlight and fall in you .
Also i loved the friendship moments between suho and seojun and how they got back together .

THIS IS NOT THE WEBTOON WHY YOU CALL IT REMAKE?!!

if i didn't read the webtoon i would give this drama better rate it's cliche but fun, too cliche simply ugly girl who two boys love. but i read the webtoon more than a year ago and was so excited to that to come for life but was faced with another story they totally just get the names and that's it. no one said that they should follow it scene by scene but to totally change it take character scene to another and change the center of story form jugueong beauty problem to suho problems that was annoying.. so if you read the webtoon it's normal to be disappointed and maybe mad.

if you didn't read the webtoon its fun cliche normal romcom with all the cliche from childhood met to save her to jealous love triangle and naive girl who don't understand who love her and act like child.

i love Moon Gayeong acting in the start like jugyeong is fun like that but her voice become so annoying by the end. Eunwoo i don't feel him but suho is character that also don't have much to give, i hope he pick a character with more life on it and stop taking those cold look characters. the couple was ok but just okay not more.

HWANG INYEOP i have to say Seojun character help him a lot to shine it's fun character to start with but he did well delivering it.

osts wasn't strong to be remembered.
don't think i will watch that again i will just reread the webtoon to delete that from my memories.
