If you enjoy the genre, watch it

Some people don’t like cheesy dramas, but this drama in particular is very cheesy. If you don’t like it, then there’s no reason to watch it. If it’s too cringe or cliché, watch something else.

The whole premise of this drama is from this cliché drama. So if you choose to watch True Beauty knowing that it will be a ‘cringy rom-com’ and get mad for it being ‘too cringy’, that is foolish.

If you like cheesy rom-coms like me, then the rating (of 9) applies. I personally like Weightlifting Fairy, Strong Woman, because l enjoy the genre and cute moments. There’s no point in giving this drama a bad review for its cringiness if you can just spend your time somewhere else.

This is a good light drama. It’s not deep. It’s a good cliché drama to watch on the side of something more exciting (like maybe fantasy or apocalyptic). It’s worth watching.

The directors and writers did a fabulous job considering how little they have from the Webtoon. It was fun to see what they could come up with. They were very creative.

Overall, there are some dramas that are better, of course, but just because they are better doesn’t mean that this drama is worse. (I sound like a broken record, but I just wanted to emphasize this.)

I also loved the cameos of Extra-ordinary You in this drama. They are fun Easter eggs because both are set in Manhwas.

If you want a fun, bubbly, cliché, and cringe rom-com to watch, this is definitely one to invest your time in.

Don’t expect something like Penthouse of Sweet Home from it. That’s barbaric. It’s a good drama for its genre.
