Reviews
Good Performances
The writing was way too weak for my taste. However, it was somewhat compensated for by the outstanding performances from Riisa and Mayu, who accomplished the impossible by making their characters feel like real people who actually work as plastic surgeons.The writer didn’t seem to have a clear aim while writing this script. If you’re going to tackle social criticism surrounding appearances, you either have to take a stance in favor of it or against it. This drama chose to leave it up to the viewer, but unfortunately, that approach didn’t work for me.

If you was hurt because of your appearance you'll understand them
Idk what's wrong comments here. This drama is good. It's not propaganda of the plastic surgery at all. It really shows that everyone who wants to change their appearance has some kind of mental illness and if they wouldn't do it their life becomes even worse without it. Because it's the human nature and not everything can be cured by therapy or makeoverI think people expected huge criticism of the industry here but instead was shown people's motivation and their pain. If you are an empath than you'll understand characters' motivations
If it was a kdrama, the rating would be much higher. Nothing new on this site. IMDb is 8,5 and that's proper rating
