True Beauty (2020)

One of must watch Kdrama of 2020....Full Highschool Fun

I know drama is still going on and only 4 episodes have been aired, But here are my Views on this....
1. STORY
Story of an average looking girl(in her thoughts) that if she is beautiful on then people will give her attention and
affection is not something new that we haven't seen before in K-dramas but this has a twist. without giving any spoilers It is an amazing joyride with lots of emotions and funny acts and so far I have seen development of every character with humor and struggle emotions at the same time.

2.CAST and ACTING
TBH this is my Fav cast Moon Ga Young, Cha Eun Woo and Park Yoo Na. Acting skills of Moon Ga Young as a teenage girl like this has never seen before, With so much fun and cute scenes makes this drama rewatchable a 100 times.

Overall.
This is one of the must watch drama of 2020 , It has Comedy(90%) Drama, Romance,Fun a wholesome Highschool fun vibe

Love the comedic scenes between Joo Gyeong and Seo Jun!

Honestly, the storyline is too cliché. Nevertheless, what makes this drama appealing, is because of its talented actors, comedic scenes, and Joo Gyung’s transformation.

I am on episode 7 currently. As I have observed, there are not many romantic scenes between Joo Gyung and Seo Jun as compared to the webtoon. Most of the scenes between Joo Gyung and Seo Jun were given to Su Ho which makes me frustrated. Nevertheless, I have likened the series, because of its comedic scenes not only between Joo Gyung and Seo Jun but overall, most of the characters were humorous and appealing. Another great thing about the series is that it does not focus mostly on the romantic side of the drama, but it highlights Joo Gyung’s transformation from an ugly duckling to a beautiful Swan. Though previously, Joo Gyung was very insecure because of her looks, gradually she is learning to love herself.

Recognizing, the culture in South Korea, where most teenagers want flawless ivory skin with big eyes like Korean idols led to a lot of pressure for many teenagers. This series is an eye-opener. It recognizes that one does not need to follow a certain beauty standard to be beautiful, as everyone is beautiful just the way they are.

what i liked about the drama

first off, i must give extra points for the main actress to allow herself to be portrayed as "ugly". it is hard to find young actress that allow themselves to be anything other than their pretty best. that said, her level of ugly is not far off from normal people average.
but allowing herself to be painted with pimples, huge specs and discoloured skin tone does make her later reveal with makeup and contacts much more distinct.
Other than that, you have your usual school life drama, with bullying, love triangles, friendships, heartaches and pain.
Afew up and downs moments, with afew side plots that go nowhere. But most people get a relatively happy ending.
Some of the support characters are tame in the beginning but turns out whacky in the end. Adds to the comedic atmosphere of the drama.

I cannot with this drama! I cannot!

Writing, TOP! Acting, TOP! Everything, TOP! TOP! The role reversals too, Normality. Didn't have to make it a statement by giving someone the caring role, the stupid role, the "manly" role, or leading, in a relationship. Changed up the 'typicals' like it's a usual thing, WOW! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This was a long journey but it was completely worth it.....❤️❤️❤️

Oh my god, I'll miss this drama so much, everything was amazing,!
I cried like a baby in the last episode not because it was sad, but it was definitely the ending and I wasn't ready to say goodbye :( I'll watch this in the future many times for sure.

It was such a light watch and I can't remember the last time I laughed so much!! The cast had an amazing chemistry together! it was such a nice highlight to my week. I would also say that they really didn't drag anything it all happened very naturally which made it even more enjoyable! The second lead syndrome is extremely strong in this drama!!
I usually don't get it but with this one…. if only there where two JGs.... lol.

That being said please note that the last two episodes are really strange and totally out of place and even too long for the amount of story they left there, it just dragged that specific plot for about 3 hours that could've been told in about half an hour

I just wanted to let all of you know that if u do watch it then don't drop it because its worth watching it. I did watch the entire drama because first I am in love with the cast and the story, I like the story because it kind of tells you that you have to learn to love yourself and be confident because if u don't do that then you are the one who is going to suffer the most and it also shows that there still are good people out there. So for me this drama is really REALLY good!!! And I would recommend it to everyone!!
Still 10/10 for me!! <3

Cozy, Hilarious, Nostalgic but left me Empty

This review will not contain spoilers, but, in order to do that, I will also not contain too many details about the drama itself. I will mostly give an honest review about how this drama made me feel throughout.

When I started this drama, not only was I pleasantly surprised, but I found myself waiting on my toes to start or wait for the next episode.
I am in a very stressful period in my life but I still found myself unable to stop binge-watching as much as I can till 4 am, because, despite waking up like a zombie to work or to classes, I still had no regrets because the drama has acted as a much-needed remedy for this tough period.
The number of times I had to stop myself from laughing out loud in order not to wake my sister up so late at night was almost suffocating. Although I am not always a fan of over-the-top silly humor, somehow this drama made it work, because the characters made it work, because the actors made it work and they fully drew me in with every breath they took.
In terms of acting, everyone fulfilled their role so perfectly that I even forgot that I had seen the same actors in different dramas. In many dramas, I would still be able to hold on to one aspect of a personality that I had seen from some of the actors in other dramas. But in this one, the world of this drama was the only world where the actors belonged as the characters who they played. I forgot everywhere else I had ever seen them. Even Eun Woo who originally I was too scared to associate him too much with his role in My ID is Ms. Gangnam Beauty because of the similar theme of the dramas, I did not. He was simply Su hu for me. I laughed with the characters and cried with them, and even spoke to some of my family members about their problems as if I was their friend.

For some reason this drama made me feel very nostalgic. I am now in my college years and mid-twenties, and somehow this drama made me feel nostalgic to the time I was in high school, where life seemed like a dream full of possibilities and fairytales. The drama felt so cozy, and the comic book store where they always meet felt like just the place I would have loved to have in my neighborhood to escape into the world of stories and books. This is exactly how this drama felt - like it was my escape into a fairytale world.

The only thing that went wrong for me and left me empty in the end is how the last two episodes were dragged on, focusing mainly on a love-triangle that did nothing more than hurt at that point. Regardless of who I was rooting for, I will admit that in terms of the character and relationship development, the main couple who end up together make more sense. But, the fact that until the very last minute, they hinted that one side has yet to fully move on left me empty and unable to move on myself. Instead of finishing this drama feeling like I received my closure with the happy ending, It just left me wondering "what if" and "what will happen next," especially to the one she does not end up with, while fully knowing that nothing, nothing will happen next. The world of the drama has closed never to be open again, only leaving it to my imagination.

I will still probably rewatch this again, because regardless, the journey was beautiful and way too funny to not experience once more. And I do recommend you do give it a watch, especially if, like me, you feel like you need an escape from your reality for a bit.
If I wasn't in such a stage in my life I might have not appreciated the drama necessarily the same way. But this is the true beauty of dramas, that they find you at the right time and place.
Hope this one does the same for you.

#SuHoTeam #SeoJunTeam ???

For me personally, I suffer for another SLS for this drama :(
I have to admit that Cha Eun Woo is really handsome, but Hwang In Yeop is still my type hahaha
I would like to say that the director was really did a good job for the casting, because they really look like the webtoon characters. And I also appreciate that the story is different with the webtoon, so it has more clear ending. Even though I already knew from the start what will be the ending is, I still enjoy the plotline.

What made me more thankful is that Seo Jun, still have date time with Ju Kyung, despite... :")
And I still think that Su Ho is kinda jerk, because he said break up and wanna back together again that easily, because Ju Kyung madly in love with him. Poor her...

Overall, this drama is simple and innocent high school romance. And you will be blessed with visual of the actors throughout the drama :)

Enjoyable drama with a disappointing message

This drama is a feel good drama and always wants you to continue watching. I have to mention that this drama has everything that you would want in a drama. The misunderstandings, the rich, handsome male lead, the second male lead, the friendship and the family.

Personally, I have to say that even though I have already watched multiple dramas I still cannot get enough of the rise in tension when the episode is about to end. You do know the outcome sometimes but it just constantly keeps you on your toes.

All three leads in this drama did a good job of portraying their character. Lim Ju Kyeong played by Moon Ga Young shocked me at first because I only knew her from her other drama "Tempted". The range this woman has is amazing! Cha Eun Woo who played Lee Su Ho was a perfect fit for the cold jerk since he has that mysterious, arrogant vibe about him. Lastly, Han Seo Jun played by Hwang In Yeop did an excellent job. I was fascinated by his acting skills. I noticed that he really tried to act naturally and based on what a real person would do, especially with his facial expressions.
The other actors did a wonderful job as well but I have to say that those three stole the show, hihi.

However, the story in itself worries me. The basis of the entire story is that the female lead is "ugly". The only thing that they did to make her "ugly" is make her have red skin, some pimples and she has to wear glasses. This is what made me angry. Why exactly is a little bit of discoloration of the skin considered ugly? We are human beings and not puppets. Additionally, everybody has pimples. Especially, when you are a teenager. Why is that still considered "ugly"? Lastly, when exactly have glasses become a sign of "ugliness"? They are such a cool accessory and can make your face look different in a good way. Why exactly is a visual impairment considered such an "ugly" thing in society? Furthermore, when she is younger it is clearly visible that they made her eyebrows darker and thicker in an unrealistic way. Dark, thick eyebrows can be really cool and beautiful as well. In general, I just did not like this aspect of her being portrayed as ugly even though other people might struggle with the exact same issues but are beautiful.

(Spoilers from now on)

Later on in the series they seem to just accept everything quite easily only because she was bullied for it. However, we never got to the fact that she has been called ugly by everybody around her, even her own family, which should also be considered bullying. I am not saying you should go out and tell everybody they are beautiful if you do not think they are but just let people be if you do perceive them as ugly. Everybody has their own opinion and you know that if you force your own opinion on somebody else, they will be hurt if it is a negative thing. In general, I would have wanted this issue to be covered more in depth and it would have also been great to know why exactly the bullies had a problem with her other than her being ugly. A backstory for the bullies would have added addiitonal understanding of the problems that people have to face in society.

Further, the relationship between Lim Ju Kyeong and Lee Su Ho was not healthy. They even showed that they were not able to tell each other everything in that one scene where Lee Su Ho has so many things on his mind but only ends up saying that he loves her instead of talking about his issues. This is probably also the reason why I wanted to see her with Han Seo Jun since those two actually talked together about their feelings and what was on their minds. Regarding this, I would have wanted a portrayal of a healthier relationship between the two main leads. I believe it would have also made people pine less for Han Seo Jun but still enough that the story would not have been tainted.

Lastly, the fact that so many things involved physical fights without any major consequences made me worry. There were so many times that they got into a fight without any major consequences. This does not really set a good example for the younger audience. However, I do know that this is common in these kinds of dramas and somehow a part of what people want to see. I just think that the main message again that they told us is that you have to physically fight your bullies in order for them to leave you alone since that is the last scene we see of the bullies with Lim Ju Kyeong. It would have been nice to have a realistic way of dealing with the bullies instead of a fist fight to make the main character even stronger.

All in all, I enjoyed watching it because it had some funny scenes and the love triangle really put me on the edge of my seat this time around. For further dramas, I wish that they could add in a better message to the viewers. I enjoyed it because I knew that the things they did in this drama were very common for dramas but it should definitely be watched knowing that this is not how the world and society should be.

Just a melodrama and a romcom.

From beginning to the very end there was nothing special to say, just a common drama with common features and a common concept. There were some incidents really mixed with romance as well as comedy and that should be appreciated. Because there are thousands of romcoms in the world but most of them don't seem to know how to mix the romance and comedy. It was not hard to finish watching the drama because there was some joy but there were some scenes at the end that cannot occur any laugh and that we have to think it as a comedy scene because the acting group and writer have tried very hard to make a laugh. If you are a romcom person you can watch this there is no offense, but I must say there are a lot of more and way better than this.
