Great show to watch especially if you are a fan of the Webtoon

As some one who has enjoyed watching the Webtoon i enjoyed watching True Beauty. It's always great when Webtoon's get created into a real life show, for this show they did a good job keeping to the story line and the overall look and vibe of the Webtoon. The actors are spot on compared to the Webtoon too. They did change somethings in the show but it still goes along the lines of being confident with your true self/beauty featuring two high school boys and their unfortunate past as friends. However if you are not familiar with the Webtoon this show may seem like a pretty normal love triangle k-drama. Still, I would say it is enjoyable anyway for those who have not read the Webtoon. There is a lot of comedy that makes it entertaining to watch, anyone who writes a negative review is probably taking the show a bit too seriously. If you like simple easy to follow along high school romance drama's then this is the show for you.

Moon GaYoung (Jugyeong) is the perfect person to play Jugyeong. Compared to her past shows like "Tempted" this is different for her and it was fun watching her play Jugyeong. Cha Eun Woo is just being Cha Eun Woo, compared to his past shows like "My ID is Gangnam Beauty" (which is actually a very similar show to True Beauty) he plays a similar character who comes off as cold but comes to love and support the girl character. My expectations are never big when it comes to his acting since he is a pretty simple actor and plays a lot of the same kind of characters but this does not mean i do not enjoy seeing him in the drama's he appears in. I would like to see something a bit different from him in the future though as an actor, but as Lee Suho he was perfect for the role. Hwang In-Yeop (Han Seojun) is a new actor to me but he is pretty entertaining and scarily looks a lot like the drawing in the Webtoon. Park Yoona (Kang Soojin) is also a kind of new person to me but was very impressed with her and now love her as an actress. I can't wait to see her in more dramas, she is a great actress who has a good 'villain face' when she becomes the bully of the show. And lastly as a random mention is Jang Hyejin as the mother of Jugyeong. Jang Hyejin is a brillant actress, i did think is is very random that she is in this show since she has hit such big success being in "Parasite" that won many awards last year but she is pretty good at being the comedic over the top mother in True Beauty.
