In general, I really enjoyed watching True Beauty.
Honestly speaking, this drama hit close to home, since just like Lim Ju-Kyung, I was also bullied in school due to my appearance and I believe that a lot of people watching this drama will relate to it.
This drama was actually very cute, not super dramatic even though approaches some serious societal issues from suicide to the way the entertainment industry works, to the appearances-based society we live in.
I haven't read the webtoon, so I can't tell you if the drama is loyal to it or not. What I can tell you is that the acting was amazing, very entertaining although there were some parts where you can tell the overreaction in the scene, in spite of that, the drama was really enjoyable.
Something that I really loved was the presence of strong females like Lim Ju-Kyung's sister who's someone that not only can defend herself but also goes after what she wants even when it comes to romance; or like Kang Soo-Ah who can defend herself or anyone she sees in danger (although she goes "bitchy mode" towards the end due to jealousy).
Last but not least, this drama was a bit hard to watch because it's impossible to not like Seong-Joo. I wanted both Seong-Joon and Soo-Hoo to have a happy ending but obviously, that wasn't possible.
