The secondary couple of both shows have a similar dynamic, in the sense that there's a role reversal with the Female Character (FL's older sister in True Beauty & ML's older sister in Love With Flaws) being proactively persuing her crush. They are also both successful Female Characters who enjoy being in charge.
True Beauty is a romantic comedy about a high school girl Lim Ju Gyeong, who rises to pretty girl fame after she masters the art of make-up from YouTube. She turns into a goddess because of her makeup skills, but would rather die than reveal her bare face to anyone. It tells her love story with the only boy that saw her without makeup, Lee Su Ho. Lee is an attractive and handsome boy who appears cold because of his dark past but is actually very caring. They grow when they meet each other sharing their secrets and finding love with each other, but can Su Ho make Ju Gyeong find her true beauty?

Although they hold different settings, the comedic energy in both dramas is quite similar!
Both do an impressive job of showcasing fun, light-hearted comedy that has you cackling at 2am in the night
A romantic storyline begins developing itself in the story as the episodes progress
Has adorable couple moments, and a minute love triangle
If you're looking for a show that has the same comedic energy, and don't mind slightly older actors as well as a slightly mature storyline, I definitely recommend checking it out!
You're left wanting more of the 6 main characters of this story :))
