Birth of a Beauty

I see negative reviews, but I seriously believe those people who gave negative feedback didn't even understand the story or watched it till the end.

Yes plastic surgery is bad, yes its not good to look down on people who are fat. But don't assume this drama is basically promoting the idea that its good. It isn't, and you have to watch till the end to see the full picture, full story.

By judging the drama from the beginning without watching the story is no difference from people who judge someone by their looks. This drama has a story and its very interesting, everything about it tell's a story.

Honestly, this is as generic a plot as they come for soap.. or at least, the kind of parts you expect to see in several dramas.

Another reviewer said that "there is a twist after every couple of episodes", which is quite apt a description for a 21-episode series where the pacing is fast and there are too many ideas and developments! From fat shaming, to women abuse, corporate battles, fights over marriage, corruption, happiness and "getting what is coming to you".. and more. I feel that a shorter more efficient script would have helped a lot, specially considering how nothing really meshes together well. Still, it is well acted, and the leads seem to work well together! But it's hard to get invested in them due to the amount of absurdity and coincidences that happen all the time.

I personally would not recommend it, as it felt like a chore to me.

But I can see stans for these actors enjoying it, and the plots aren't so bad to be dislikeable.

The series has a very predictable story, but the makers have kept it fast paced. Joo Sang-wook in the lead role is superb and has done an excellent job. With his good looks and excellent acting, all the girls will surely fall in love with him! Do watch it if you are a die hard rom-com fan! The story begins with a fat woman being on cheated on by her husband, and being unhappy. She goes on to have plastic surgery, with the help of doctor Hae Tan hee(Jo Sang-wook), and plots to seek revenge. There is a new twist to the story every 5 episodes, which is guaranteed to keep you glued. All the actors have done a good job.The actors playing Chae Yeon and Lee Kang Joon have given good performances, and you will end up hating their characters.

This is not the only drama that put plastic surgeon as a solution to life problem. I do not think this is a good means myself.

But in regards to the plot and actors, I have no special complaint.

Amazing chemistry between Sara and Han tee... Binge watch worthy series!! Wish to see its second season.
