Very cheeeeesy

True Beauty started off feeling very cheesy and full of clichés. My biggest question is, what about this girl is ugly exactly? She wears glasses and has a few pimples - literally me and so many other girls in the world! The whole premise of this drama seemed dumb and not intriguing - nevertheless I persisted. To be honest I was pleasantly surprised as it was just easy to watch and the second male lead - WOW. I was living for him throughout this drama. He made it worth watching.

I liked the bromance that formed/reformed between the guys. So many funny scenes that actually made me LOL. The backstory of the two boys gave the show some depth and added some seriousness to it.

To begin with, like in the first episode, I did not Like Ju Gyeong's character. She just seemed very shallow, but to be fair she was constantly bullied. Like I said, I just didn't like the premise.

My favourite scene would have to be the one where all three of them are in the elevator and the boys are fighting over Ju Gyeong and then they get stuck. She shakes them off telling them to let go of her - we are thinking she's just annoyed with their bickering, but it turns out that she really needs to pee. As soon as they prise open those elevator doors she is out of there. The way she lunged out of that small gap made me really LOL.

The relationship that formed between Ju Gyeong's sister and her teacher was sweet and funny. It was ridiculous when they had their wedding and she got her head stuck in the table frame.

I would maybe consider watching this one again, simply because it was so light and easy to watch.
