I have not done a page to screen post in a good minute, but we are back, and I am so excited for this one as well. I have yet to read True Beauty yet but I love the drama. They do have physical books if you prefer the physical copies instead of the Webtoon, but I enjoy reading on my iPad.
April 2, 2018 and completed June 28, 2023.
After binge-watching beauty videos online, a shy comic book fan masters the art of makeup and sees her social standing skyrocket as she becomes her school’s prettiest pretty girl overnight. But will her elite status be short-lived? How long can she keep her real self a secret? And what about that cute boy who knows her secret?
First episode December 1, 2020, last episode February 4, 2021
School bullies have made life hell for Im Ju Gyeong (Moon Ga Young), who torment her relentlessly for being “ugly.” So when she transfers high schools, she decides to turn over a new leaf by using tips she learns from social media to transform her appearance! Donning a new look and carefully maintaining her “ugly secret,” she slowly gains confidence in herself while making genuine friends including Lee Su Ho (Cha Eun Woo), the most popular boy at school, and his close-friend-turned-rival, Han Seo Jun (Hwang In Yeop), a troublemaker with a kind heart. Caught in a love triangle and constantly at risk for having her secret exposed, what will happen if Ju Gyeong’s new friends learn about the “real” her? Will she find true love with either of her suitors? This 2020 South Korean series was adapted from the viral 2018 webtoon “True Beauty” and directed by Kim Sang Hyub.
I am so excited to dive back into this world, I did binge watch this entire series and I am excited to see what the Webtoon adds. I know I am already obsessed and will probably not be able to put it down. Have you seen or read True Beauty?
