A woman's life all depends on her looks. So what happens if she's born ugly? This story is about a girl, nowhere near attractive, who was born where ugliness runs in the family. This pitiful girl, who has no luck with men, thanks to her "not so pretty" looks, turned to her last resort: a face lift. She travels all the way to the Mediterranean to transform into a living beauty. Now she can finally get her hands on love and happiness. After returning to Japan, she starts a glamorous life as a fashion model: something she had always longed for. Still, day after day, she is obsessed with the feeling that her big secret may come to light. The face lift was able to change her face, but not her "ugly personality." She's an artificial beauty: vulnerable, fragile, and struggling for love. Will she manage to get the love of her life? [Asianmediawiki] Edit Translation

This is my favorite drama of all time here why: The acting was on point the main girl had me dieing in my seat It also had a good lesson about life ,and the plot was creative and the ending was great.

I've watched this again ,and again yet still feel it was amazing i love the way i could root for the main character even though her own faults.


Watch this drama if your looking for a good easygoing old school drama.

For once another rarity where the gentres Comedy and Romance holds true, unlike some others that say romance where there is no romance, and romance mistaken for betrayal. All in all this was another rare find of an all around nice and beautiful romantic comedy.

Very well put together storyline, very well balanced between comedy and romance. It was funny when needed and equally serious when needed. The acting was superb, Yonekura Ryoko and Shiina Kippei really brought this drama to life with their awesome acting. The music was very well balanced as well.

I was extremely frustrated from watching a couple of most terrible dramas and this was my pick me up. Laughter is the best medicine, and this drama was just that with a nice romance mixed in with it.

A most definite 10 in my books in my most humble opinion. A must watch.
