Similar Characters
- The female lead's character in both are supposedly unattractive (tho imo neither are)
- In both dramas there is some way that the female lead makes herself attractive/feel attractive. In filter it's the bracelet while in She Was Pretty she straightens her hair and puts on makeup
- Fl in both dramas are nice and caring
- ml in both dramas come off as a bit arrogant and rude tho in SWP he is much more so
Hidden/secret identities
- In both dramas the ml doesnt know real identity of the woman hes spending time with
- In SWP he thinks his childhood friend is the fl's prettier friend and believes he will be in love with her. This is similar to the first version of Cheng Cheng the ml in filter fell in love with.
- In both the ml piece things together overtime
- In both dramas the fl also believes at least for part of the drama that the ml dislikes her.
- In both dramas the ml falls for the real her
Work relationship
- The characters work together
- The ml is a superior at work while the fl is a new employee
One thing though is she was pretty is it felt a bit more serious and dramatic then Filter at least to me. There's also a prevalent love triangle that is not present in Filter. For a shorter version of this story I recommend the Japanese adaptation as well

society where people are judged by appearances. A fantasy romance drama series where a girl finds a magical ring that transforms her into the most datable person. Mo Nan Hee was never the attractive girl whom guys would show interest in. Until one day, she gets a magical ring that transforms her looks. Meanwhile, Park Se Gun, the most popular guy on campus for his looks, is known to be shallow, and dates attractive girls, falls head over heels for Nan Hee after her transformation. But Nan Hee was different from the other girls he dated in that she was socially inept and violent. Somehow, he finds himself falling even more in love with her despite her negative qualities…
Similarities:
- Smart & not annoying MLs & FLs
- Both FLs can change face/appearance and the MLs won’t recognize her at first then eventually became suspicious
- MLs have some problems with their eyes
- Cute side couples in addition to the cute main cp…Great chemistry & acting
Differences:
- FYH is a historical drama with a little bit more serious tone (still quite light & funny for a historical drama)
- ML in FYH can definitely fight compared to our poor Tang Qi lol (Oh well! FL in Filter can do the fighting instead)

In both, the ML falls in love with a fake version of the FL. The MLs both have special illnesses that get better around the FL. Both MLs are quirky, dorky and smart. Both FL have spunk and a bright outlook on life. Both dramas are romcoms but have emotional moments, especially when the ML has to say goodbye to the fake version of the FL.
