i dont care what others said :(

i absolutely loved this drama!! i just finished watching episode 16 today. i was originally watching it for Suzy and Nam Joo Hyuk. but after watching into episode 8 i actually really liked it. even thought there is a time jump of 3 years, and the characters may not change a lot i liked it. it can show that the characters being together really change one another. where being apart lets them go back to their own habits/ways. and yes there was a huge ship war between Dosan and Jipyeong but i honestly thought it made the drama better. i do think some characters have their flaws like pettiness, stubbornness, and etc. but i think it makes it more human because no one is perfect which make it realistic. not every kdrama character is perfect and fits inside a box. i also like the antagonists and that the protagonists are let down in the beginning. not giving it the "perfect" and underdog "prevails" stuff. and later in the kdrama you start to see the character's competence come through and how they HAVE grown and matured.

LOVE IT!!

thoughts: i actually really like this drama so far. when i heard the webtoon was going to be made into a drama, i started reading the webtoon. and im on chapter #125 (english ver.). i do realize that there's contrasting opinions with the whole "the drama is similar to the webtoon" etc. bu if you realize that the kdrama, yes it's based on the webtoon, but mainly an adaption, and the writer of the kdrama was hired to do their job and that is to write the kdrama. i think lots of people are upset that the kdrama does not follow the webtoon scene by scene but honestly if it did then there would be no point in eevenen making the kdrama because it's just a duplicate of the webtoon.

plot: the plot is, yes stereotypical, but it at the same time is quite enjoyable. people will complain about the whole "school love triangle" thing is used too many times in kdramas, cdrama, jdramas, etc. but the reason that that same plot is used so many times in dramas is that it either does well or is entertainment worthy. yes there's plenty of other dramas with other storylines like Private Lives, Flower of Evil, and The King: Eternal Monarch. so instead of complaining about the plot and how it's not following the webtoon play by play, just do not watch True Beauty and keep your mouth shut.

characters/setting etc: i actually like Jugyeong in the kdrama more than the webtoon, because i felt as though in the webtoon her character has no "substance" like her character is kinda narrow-minded and her personality isn't really there. but in the drama i feel as though her character is "better"? i really like moon gayoung acting too. i think she and the other actors have great chemistry. i also think that the issues and underlying problems in the drama are handled well and like any other kdrama are spread out and go into detail as the drama develops. i personally like that the casting director did an amazing job finding actors who look similar to the characters in the webtoon. also, the soundtrack is very nice with Yuju from Gfriend singing part 2 in the OST. i think its very catchy.

conclusion: my final thoughts are that i really like drama and for me, i love triangles and especially school dramas. i will continue watching this and like Start-Up there's a war between Suho and Seojun and i think that just makes True Beauty all that better because of the involvement of fans.
