This is the first time I'm giving a review for a drama...
That's because I just couldn't tolerate the people saying things like.. "The dialogue delivery was too slow" or "The male lead was expressionless all along"
This review is for the readers who are getting influenced by those reviews n chose not to watch this drama, because if you read such reviews, you need to know that they did not understand the story at all!
STORY & CAST:
The story is about a girl Kang Mirae(Im Soo Hyang) who was bullied throughout her school life and goes under knife to make herself pretty before she enters the college. But unfortunately, she starts being called "gangnam beauty" (which means pretty all because of artificial things like surgeries and cosmetics). Her low self esteem makes her life even harder.
The male lead Do Kyung Seok(Cha Eun Woo) is a perfect guy who attracts all the attention because of his good looks, also being called "genius face".
Yet he has the scars of his past due to his family issues which makes him not care about his surroundings (in other words, he's a loner)
A pretty girl Hyun Soo Ah(Jo Woo Ri) who was born beautiful and craves for attention and has her own story behind her strange personality
A kind senior Woo Young (Kwak Dong Yeon) who lives working hard on his own and helps his juniors through their problems.

ACTING:
The female lead whose character is supposed to have low self esteem was carried too well by Im Soo Hyang..talking in a low voice, giving a blank expression when she is praised or asked about something that's good in her (coz she was never loved before). Our male lead who is a loner had to give very subtle expressions but still show what he's thinking! This job was excellently done by our Cha Eun Woo! The character of Hyun Soo Ah which no one mentions, is pretty hard to be carried out...coz she has to be very kind out in front of everyone and keep her true self to herself! She was good too..and the casting was just done too beautifully.
So I suggest everyone who reads this review to try watching at least the first episode..coz you'll watch the next episodes on your own, out of curiosity!
Hope this review was helpful...Enjoy watching MY ID IS GANGNAM BEAUTY
