True Beauty

I'm writing this comment right now and I'm not even halfway through the show, I'm on episode seven. I just need to get out there that this is so good, and that everyone should watch it. Like it's semi-cringy, but in a good way - in a fun-teenage-romance-drama-show way. I think one of my favourite things about the show is that the side characters have so much to do with the show and that they help spear on key scenes, my favourite being Ahn Hyun-gyu.

If you're thinking of starting this drama, you should definitely consider watching Extraordinary You first. Trust me, it'll make watching True Beauty all the more fun. This drama would be worth watching for the eye candy and fun references to other k-dramas alone. But it had so much more to offer! The first few episodes were totally chaotic, extra and over the top. Kinda crazy, but a lot of fun! Then a few more serious topics like low self-esteem, bullying and psychological trauma were brought up. Honestly, the show struck a good balance between kooky and serious. It was funny and lighthearted, but also emotional and deep in certain aspects. It succeeded in making me laugh, swoon and pulling at my heartstrings. And the casting! The 3 main actors look like the webtoon characters come to life. Which is insane. And they delivered solid performances all around. But I have to admit the older sister completely stole the show. All of her scenes were hilarious. I absolutely loved this show and would recommend everyone who loves romance dramas watch it.
