I loved it

Omggggg the best series. I did not believe that they have put the other series in the 4th episode like haru and i don't know what the name of the series was. I was shocked but i loved it. At the beginning i did not know that this was from the other series but i've heard the voice of the actress and this made me just jumping from happiness. I loved it ❤️❤️❤️❤️💜💜💜💜 i would like to watch more episodes when they are already finished. I'm in love with the role actors. 💜💜💜💜 i live kdrama and kpeople and kpop and korea 💜💜💜💜

Uh.

Well, I'm okay about Jukyung choosing lead A or B. It depends on the story anyway, not on the watcher's preference. We can't choose Jukyung's love partner, right? So I don't rate it low because Jukyung chose her partner that I don't like, not or I rate it high because Moon Gayoung is my favorite actress. Aside, these are the pros and cons I could remember lol.

Pros:
- K-drama iconic school comedy scenes are everywhere! No need to worry about getting bored of this drama.
- Hwang In Yeop carries the drama on his shoulder. I mean, his acting is on point.
- Moon Gayoung can still be a high schooler foreverrr
- Supporting roles did their great job! This drama is so lovely and lively, thanks to them!
- This drama contains real social issues in South Korea: Bullying in schools.
- The conflicts between characters can really make you feel the bittersweet of the drama.

Cons:
- The biggest minus of this drama is Eunwoo's acting. While I do know his "handsome-ness" is important for the prince-like character, he's still much lacking in expressing the character's emotions. He looks like smiling while he's supposed to mad/angry/sad/etc. One part that satisfied me is when he found out that something wrong with his family and he had to mad. This was the first time I think his expression is correct.
- What da hell is that flying scene!? Too much and too far from realistic.
- Cringe scenes are overloaded (might be called "fan-service" for fans).
- Unsolved problems in the plot: Bullies end up nothing?
- Where's Hajin? We need her cameooooo :v

A feel-good high school romance comedy

Loved it! What makes it stand out for me is the well-placed humor that runs consistent throughout the drama. It will touch your heart, refresh on some life lessons and make you cry in some parts, but definitely it will leave a feel-good effect.

Cons: may not be for those looking for wild plot twists or high drama. It's an adaptation of a webtoon filled with well-loved ingredients for a high school romance.

Pros: Highly recommended when you want to smile and laugh and drown yourself in a good romance comedy. Casting is amazing, terrific job to the casting team on this. The OST is addicting.

Friendship Vs True Love

Overall i was so obsessed with this drama untill now, the ending was quite okay for me. I just hope that Han Seojun can get his happiness to tho. But yah, drama is always a drama. A main hero must be the main character and ending for the heroin right? Hoping for more date for Seojun & Jukjyung. Hmm, right now i just wait for the webtoon ending since it more complicated the drama itself. For those who wants to watch this drama, i highly recommend it because it can make your heart fluttered and cannot miss the episodes everyday 😁😂 its just based on my experience. Enjoy your kdrama guys. Goodluck in future for all cast in True Beauty. Will support them in every of their drama, especially Hwang In Youp oppa ❤

As soon as i finished from watching the drama, i just want to write something just to let out my feelings about this drama.

Everyone in the drama is really good for bringing their characters into life. I really love the dynamic from LJK's family. The parents's relationship, brother and sister's relationship, and how LJK's dealing with her problems with friends, boyfriend, and also herself. I also loved how the drama is taking a different direction from the webtoon. I think the director and the scriptwriter maybe taking an inspiration from Jdrama, because the balance and timing of the drama are really good (imo). It also quite a compact drama, when almost every problems can be resolved in just around 1 episode. Not too long, not too short i guess for my taste.

About the acting itself, i have to salute the FL actress. I really love her acting here. She is not affraid to look ugly and almost wore no make up, that's a commitment girl! She also can act with her body and makes me laugh lots of time. And what i really love about her is that she's never over acting. She acts natural, on point, not to subtle but not to over the top that makes me cringe. I think she is a talented actress and can have a bright future for her acting career. Her overall acting in this drama can make me believe that she is indeed a 18 years old teenager and not a 23 years old young adult, with some problem with her self esteem, school and friends.

The supporting characters are also really good, specially the family's members (her brother and sister are hillarious!), Mr. Han ( i duno how he still can manage not to laugh when he was acting), KSJ (he is good in doing expression and his voice... i loved it) and also Mr. Prince (his scenes are not alot, but left deep impression for me). Also i have to praise CEW as the ML. I think his acting skill improved alot in this drama compare to his previous work, considering he was playing almost the same character hehe (if you know which drama). I also think he is quite mature and a reserved person despite his young age, because he tend not to overact in his emotional scene and i like it!. But i have to admit, sometimes he still looks too stiff and a little bit off for his drunken scene (maybe he never drunk before? hehe). Overall, there's still lots of room for him to improve his acting skill in the future.

But still, it is not a perfect drama. That's why lots of people can love it and others may hate it. But for a family and school drama, i think it can stand the bar quite high. One thing that make me not to score this drama too high was the wedding scene in ep16. A little bit makes me cringe and want to fast foward that specific scene (too over the top and it's kinda destroy the drama's atmosphere that has been built since ep 1, such a shame for me-imo). Overall, this is a good drama if you want to watch a lighthearted and warm family drama. It also can make you laugh when you're feeling a little bit stress or sad, at least for me it really works. I sincerely recommend this drama.

I never felt second male syndrome, but I loved the acting.

I started by reading the webtoon. I found that a drama based on the was going to release. I was just like wahhh!. After reading some episodes I felt like the story was turning into a trash.Then I stopped reading and focused on the drama.

Well, I'm team SUHO!

I think this drama is second one in this year which have a strong second male syndrome after start up.

I never felt any second male syndrome in this drama. I watch this drama in telegram, and many have second male syndrome. They also know that no matter what the female lead will only end up with the male lead 🙂.

I LOVED THE ACTING OF CHA EUN WOO AND THE OST WAS AWESOME 😍

Many of you might find this drama with cliche and boring. But I loved it 😍.

I enjoyed the comedy scenes of FL and her younger brother 😂. When I was watching this , I remembered the fights with my brother.

MANY OF MIGHT FIND DIFFICULT TO MOVE ON FROM THIS DRAMA.
I'M ALSO FINDING IT DIFFICULT TO MOVE.

When I saw the preview of 15th episode, I thought of dropping it because I felt the story was turning into han seo jun and im joo kyung. I stopped the webtoon because of this. But I successfully completed it!


THE CHEMISTRY BETWEEN THE LEADS WAS AWESOME.
THE OST WAS NICE ESPECIALLY THE ONE BY CHA EUN WOO.
THE STORY WAS NICE.

IT WAS A NICE ONE .
IF YOU ARE GOING TO GIVE IT A TRY 😜, THEN GIVE IT.
DON'T BE BOTHERED BY OTHERS OPINION 🤠.

True Beauty Review! :)

Hi! This is my first time writing a review so I’m not sure if it’ll be good or not but here it is. Before the drama was aired and made, I had already read the webtoon, so I already knew the characters and I was familiar with the storyline,
The reason I have the story an 9.0 was because it really is a very good story. They included how she went through ppl finding out about her real face and how she overcame it and was able to be without makeup in school. That’s a transformation of the character and I’m glad it was included. But the story did have some things it could patch up. Like from the beginning, they made Suho like Jugyeong, so it was predictable that they would end up together. That leaves no room for Seojun to even fight for her. And when Suho left for the USA after his dad got sick, it only lasted half an episode. I think it could have maybe lasted a whole episode, to make Seojun feel better. My making Suho go to USA, I get that it was like a climax and they might break up, but they didn’t make it as dramatic as it should’ve been. Believe me, I got second lead syndrome while this was going on, and I bet many other did too.
For the acting and cast I definitely gave a 10/10. The casting is amazing and all the actors suit there roles so perfectly. I have absolutely no complaints.
For music I have an 8.0. There was a lot of music in the show, and the songs they had and OST’s were pretty nice.
Rewatch value is 8.5. I gave it that rating because the plot even after watching is still quite clear and it’s not a story that can be easily forgotten. But this genre or romcom is quite addictive and attractive, so I think considering the majority, more people would wanna rewatch it.
Well that’s all! Overall it’s a 9/10. This drama is amazing! I would recommend it to anyone who wants a drama about overcoming hardships and being truly happy. Remember, everyone is beautiful. What on the outside doesn’t matter, it’s the inside that counts :) (ewwww I’m cringing lol)

Worth the watch! it was fun!

Considering how this was one of those typical k-dramas which you could have easily predicted the next moment and the amount of cliche scenes, despite all those facts in mind, this had exceeded my expectations and had by far been an enjoyable and heartwarming story. I wouldn't say that the actors who acted in this drama were the best out of the many veteran actors out there, but rather just say they are the best and whom I found most suitable for their respective roles. I don't think the outcome would be as great if their roles were played by someone else. Honestly loved Moon Ga Young, Cha Eun Woo and Hwang In-Yeop. The three of them deserved as much recognition for their spectacular performance, especially Cha Eun Woo who had shown a different side of himself and has greatly improved in acting. Throughout all the dramas I had watched of his, i'd say, how he portrayed his role here and the acting he poured through each scenes were the greatest. This is my favourite acting role of his. You can see how much he has done so well. Ofcourse, my new favourite actor Hwang In-Yeop, he reminded me so much of Kim Seonho because of his character, but loved him so much and got no words to say instead of how amazing he is and he deserves to be a MAIN LEAD in his upcoming dramas. Last but not least, Moon Ga Young, her acting is very commendable as well, her character is my most favourite character in this drama as she is filled with so much color and vibrance. Not wanting to leave out the rest of the cast, I love every one of them, from lim jugyeong's family especially her cool sister and brother to her friends sooah and sujin. It's a shame that it ended already, the ending was very satisfying. I hope if there would be season 2, we'd get to see them all in one frame again but ofcourse this time, would very much prefer for the story to revolve around Hwang In-yYeop and his future loveline.

I really love the series to the point that I'm too into it specially during the airing of the first half of the overall episodes. I even downloaded the webtoon app just to read the original version and it pains me that some scenes are changed. The impact is totally huge for me, they also deserve the hype from the viewers. But... after EP10, my excitement vanished and the story went downhill.

Due to its popularity, I've been spoil every single episode Everytime I scroll into my social media accounts. But it's okay because I understand that it is a talk-of-the-town drama. Although the story is kinda cliche, the characters able to cover and make the viewers love the show.

Now let's talk about the cast. We all know that HAN SEO JUN OWNS THE SHOW. I am a fan of Hwang In Yeop since the beginning of his career and I'm so glad that finally he was recognized and love by so many. He portray Seojun excellent!! There's no doubt that he's a good actor. Plus Han Seo Jun is the best boy in the whole story. He is a man who helps his family by working so hard. The only cons about him is he is not into academics and sometimes been into several fights. But thanks to this, he first meet Jugyeong. Waaaaahhh anyways, I am Team Seojun both the webtoon and drama version cause hello he deserve some love and it's okay if it is not Jugyeong cause we can't really push someone to love us.

Then we have Changed Eunwoo as Lee Suho. I must say that Eunwoo's acting is not consistent. There are scenes that he seems to be lost with his character and it really affects the show. Tbh, Eunwoo knows to act but he is not really that good. But still, he got me during the scenes of his crying in the hospital.

Next is Moon Gayoung as Jugyeong. I really love Jugyeong in the webtoon version but in the drama version I find her cringe maybe because Gayoung's really fit into a cute role with a pushy and force cute young teen intonation.

Park Youna in the other hand excels in acting. Her portraying the Kang Soo Jim role is really perfect. I love her acting ever since. The way she delivers the message into her eyes is so fascinating. I'm just sad that she got fewer scenes compare to other supporting actor.

Lastly we have the side characters who did their role very well. The story is being light and funny because of them. It gives a good vibes in every episodes. Specially to Jugyeong's family. I love how chaotic and funny they are. I also love her mother for giving comfort to Jugyeong when she finally know the reason why she is obsessed with make up. That's what a supporting parent really is. The father, sister, and brother of Jugyeong are one of the best people in the show. Then we have their classmates hahahah it's really fun to witness Cho Rong squad and Take Hoon squad together. There are also divided to team suho and seojun hahaha. Soo Ah is also cute in the series.

There are too many couples in the show and I love them both specially the Gowoon and Jooyoung couple hahaha and Mr. Han and his strawberry. But for suho and jugyeong's chemistry, it is not stable at all. There are scenes when I feel nothing at all. It is not a solid butterflies for me. I hate it cause the main couple should be the one who gives me butterflies but it isn't consistent :(

MUSIC

I'm in the mood for dancing...

The moment I hear this, I immediately downloaded it hahahah cause it's cute and catchy. Aside from it, Missing You is so good too. Thanks Chani and In Yeop for your beautiful and angelic voice!


Okay, it was long enough and I have to end this although I got many more things to say.

10/10 for ep1-9 but went downhill in the last few episodes so overall I'm going to give this a 9/10 rating.

Thanks for the beautiful time True Beauty.

This drama was a fun one, definitely enjoyed it even though the story was mostly basic.
The point of this drama was that even though every part of the drama was basic and mostly predictable, the writer made it fun and almost fresh, we knew we saw this before, but still looked forward and enjoyed it.
Some of the characters broke out of the general basic norms and it was fun to watch, but others embodied the norms, which still wasn't super annoying.
The number of people who watched this show on air made it more fun to watch. Literally, the whole world was talking about it and sometimes the seojun/suho debate got outta hand, but still, it was fun.
The osts were really fun to hear too, I will be hearing them often!
*****spoiler alert*****
I hated the way they made soo jin evil after giving us hope that she'll stay as jugkyung's friend and introducing her to be such a great character. They could have handled this better.

In the end, they really had to pull the "I'll come back after few years and act like nothing happened " trout. Aren't we all tired of this? I hate this move so much. There are mobile phones, we are in the 21st century. Kindly stop with this writers.

Other than these few story flaws I enjoyed this show a lot ♡
