Very cliché but still good!

This drama is about a girl named Lim Joo-kyeong who got severely bullied throughout elementary school because of her looks. In addition to that, she even got bullied by her close relatives. They called her ugly and asked why she had to have gotten the ugly genes unlike her younger brother and older sister. This caused her low self-esteem. When she moved to a new school she was introduced to makeup and watched a lot of makeup tutorials before mastering the art of it. When she went to school she became popular right off the bat, but she is still terrified of people seeing how she looked bare faced.

My only issue with this show is how inaccurate it is to the Webtoon. In the Webtoon, she was Seo-jun's girlfriend for a period of time whereas in the Kdrama her relationship with Seo-jun was nonexistent to save time. Besides that, the script was well-written and the casting was done perfectly! The actors did such a great job with what they were given.

I would give a lot to watch this for the first time again.
