True Beauty

This highly anticipated show has an over the top sometimes almost painful exaggerated style. It's not as funny as it should be sometimes. Maybe the source material is like that. Not sure the premise about the make up no make up difference holds up. She isn't that ugly with the glasses and no makeup to be bullied for it and she isn't that stunning with makeup. The message about looks mattering so much seems awkwardly handled. Although with the romance picking up it is getting more interesting and the backstory about the suicide. The love triangle is promising. This show doesn't take itself too seriously but compared to similar shows I prefer 18 Again and Gangnam Beauty in terms if their tone and approach. Things get slightly better as the episodes progress. Episode 6 is quite funny. The cast are well chosen and suit their roles in appearance. Moon Ga Young is enthusiastic and does well considering. Cha Eun Woo looks like a WEBTOON character come to life. Hwang In Yeop has an also comic book look. The grown ups are pretty top actors. Like Seo Dan's mom from CLOY Jang Hye Jin as her mom and SKY Castle's Jung Joon Ho as his Dad. OK for a teen show with a good cast.

Honestly i feel like seojun is being played bad in the story. I've been bouncing back and forth amongst team SUHO and team SEOJUN, but now that i think of it.. i feel like Seojun deserves Jugyeong more than SuHo. Seojun is a hardworking boy who changed 90% of his personality for jugyeong, he even decided to continue his dream for Jugyeong ~(sorry I can't give much spoilers)~ :( . I didn't buy viki to get my feelings hurt!!! true beauty community.. 🤡😭 also: give back my boy seojun his scenes with jugyeong

The love triangle in this series created some of the best funny moments I have ever seen. The romance was definitely a highlight for this series. I enjoyed the whole series from start to end. The ending was very satisfying and left nothing more to desire. A must watch!!!

The show changes a few things from the webtoon but keeps true to the main story line. The casting choices are very well done! It's a great show if you are looking for something romantic that is also quite touching at times. The main characters struggle with real problems and the show address them in a great way.

TRUE BEAUTY (2021)

Secrets. Love. Friendship.

A cute and fun drama. Made me feel young again. So much kilig with Su-ho! Super guapo grabe, Cha Eun-woo! 💞 Ju-kyung (Moon Ga-young) was so funny! She looks like Alex Gonzaga(Filipino celebrity) though. Her family made me laugh!

Had a flashback with those who bullied me ages ago. Belat sa inyo!

9/10 for me!

P.S. It's not in Netflix. I watched thru Viki.
