True Beauty is now one of my fave K-dramas. I loved the main character Ju-kyung both before and after her make-up transformation. I liked that she was into horror comics and metal and her bedroom decor was too cool and not typically cutesy, imo. I enjoyed the fact that she kept the same interests even after becoming pretty.

This was a series where I was really torn between the two males in the love triangle. I wanted both to be happy! I wanted them to be friends again! In classic K-drama fashion, this friendship rift was caused by a lack of honest communication and wrong assumptions.

I loved all the supporting cast of characters in this show. Her older sister and her school teacher were so fun to watch. It was refreshing to see her older sister as this strong female character who didn't conform to societal norms for a woman. And also Ju-kyung's mother was the same as the head of her household and sole bread winner.

I would recommend this to anyone who wants a slightly different take on the classic love triangle drama.
