AHHH! Where do I start? Firstly, I enjoyed watching this drama immensely and would and will rewatch it. I definitely recommend to any and everyone, as well! <3

>>>>>Story<<<<<
The plot to "My ID is Gangnam Beauty" was one that I never really saw before. I've seen dramas with plastic surgery, but not like this. When I first read the synopsis to the show, I thought it would be a shallow show about good looks, but I couldn't have been more wrong. Yes, the plastic surgery played a major role in the show and how the characters developed, but not in a negative way. And there was so much more! It's a story about loving yourself before you can love someone else, or before you can even believe that another person can love you. It's truly beautiful. And personally, it hit home for me. I have incredibly low self esteem and hate the way I look and weigh, which just made me love this show and the message it carries even more! My ID is Gangnam Beauty is a story that will make you cry hard enough for people to think your strange, laugh hard enough to be yelled at by the other people in your house, and smile hard enough to make you look like a complete idiot.

>>>>>Acting/Cast<<<<<
I fell for these characters SO HARD! From the very first episode I was already in love. I just have to say Cha Eun Woo, who plays Do Kyung Suk, the main male lead, is THE most adorable human being. His smile is one that you cannot help but smile back at. This drama had me smiling like an idiot to myself so many times! Not to mention Kyung Suk played the perfect boyfriend as girl could only imagine in her dreams. Not only was he handsome and kind, but he never had a shallow moment. He didn't care about looks at all, which, to me, meant so much! In addition to that, the other actors and actresses were great, as well. I really loved Kyung Suk's mom! I thought she was exactly the type of mother character that should be in every drama. Every Korean drama fan should know the typical "your not good enough for my son/daughter" type of parent, but she was the complete opposite; she was loving, kind, funny, and an all-round good person. I also really enjoyed seeing Kwak Dong Yeon in another drama. He was amazing as always! The combination of him and Eun Woo was SO MUCH for my heart to handle! The bromance was great there, as well. This drama has characters you will love and characters you will absolutely despise, but in the end, when you finish the show, your not left with strong negative feelings; which is something you don't see much (at least I don't). It might just be me, but when I watch these shows, I WATCH these shows! I get so invested in the characters and hate the bad guys, which was also the case for this one. But the difference is, the main antagonist had her reasons for being the way she was and acting the way she did. I'm not saying I loved her character by the end, but I didn't hate her anymore. But there was one character who I found incredibly disgusting and annoying throughout the entire show, that didn't change at all, but I don't have any terrible feelings towards the show because of him.

>>>>>Music<<<<<
I enjoyed listening to the music while it played, but they weren't the type of songs that got stuck in my head. They were really nice songs, but not the kind that I downloaded on Spotify. They definitely fit the show and the scenes very nicely, though.

>>>>>Rewatch Value<<<<<
Would I watch this show again? 100%!!! This show was so good that I actually started it, put in on hold, waited for more episodes, then finished it. That might seem like I had the opposite feelings towards it, but that's SO not the case! Personally, I easily get obsessed with shows before they are completed, then, after having to wait so long for the rest of the episodes, just never go back to watch them. This show was good enough for me NOT to do that! I've dropped so many shows I rated a 10 because I do this. Not only that, but this is a Rom-Com type of show, which I usually get sick of and drop eventually, or it takes me forever to finish. Anyhow, I recommend and love this drama completely! <3
