Frumusețe Adevărată (2020)

cliche but good

The story starts of with a girl, Lim Jugyeong, who gets bullied for being "ugly" and wears makeup to hide her "ugly self". She transfers to a new high school where she meets rich, lonely guy Lee Su Ho and a troublemaker, Han Seo Jun. The plot already sounds cliché and obviously we all know who is she going to end up with.

What I liked in the drama is that Jugyeong stood up for herself and embraced her "ugly" face which was a good character development whereas in the webtoon, she has not but we will have to see as the webtoon has not finished yet.

What I did not like in the drama in episode 16, was Su Ho broke up with her which to me, I understood why because he did not want to hurt her and did not want her to wait for him as he was unsure if he was able to return to her. But, being up on her face when he returned was very childish of him. She clearly felt uncomfortable. The drama Su Ho is very different to the webtoon Su Ho.

The thing that really was painful was Seo Jun, he knew that he could not force her to love him but he did so many things to help her, like get her a job. It broke my heart when he let her go to Su Ho and he ran off to to cry alone. He knew he was not the one for her but still had those eyes like he is still in love with her. Jugyeong was very clueless and had no clue Seo Jun loved her until the very end. The director really gave him a dirty ending, they just showed him that he is debuting, that he told himself that when he becomes an idol "he will forget his feelings."

Another thing was that when Su Ho and Jugyeong dated, it was very cringeworthy that they had to "hide" like every typical Korean drama.

The music was very uplifting and was suitable for the three characters.

I would definitely rewatch this drama but not too often because it is like your everyday typical drama.

It's only 4 episodes out, but i've been rewatching this 2 times while waiting for wednesday.

it make me binge watch it 4 hours in a row, first on my computer, than in big screen TV.
breathtaking cinematograpy, on-point sound editor, amazing editing
Super smart script... ( I hate lame script) I love smart writer.
very goooooddd cast! ( i dropped nine tail fox, because baby... I just dont feel their chemistry, no matter how hard I try)
------->>>>>> i so love the female lead act, she's natural, hillarious, she's beautiful
I also love both of the male lead..

Uh.

Well, I'm okay about Jukyung choosing lead A or B. It depends on the story anyway, not on the watcher's preference. We can't choose Jukyung's love partner, right? So I don't rate it low because Jukyung chose her partner that I don't like, not or I rate it high because Moon Gayoung is my favorite actress. Aside, these are the pros and cons I could remember lol.

Pros:
- K-drama iconic school comedy scenes are everywhere! No need to worry about getting bored of this drama.
- Hwang In Yeop carries the drama on his shoulder. I mean, his acting is on point.
- Moon Gayoung can still be a high schooler foreverrr
- Supporting roles did their great job! This drama is so lovely and lively, thanks to them!
- This drama contains real social issues in South Korea: Bullying in schools.
- The conflicts between characters can really make you feel the bittersweet of the drama.

Cons:
- The biggest minus of this drama is Eunwoo's acting. While I do know his "handsome-ness" is important for the prince-like character, he's still much lacking in expressing the character's emotions. He looks like smiling while he's supposed to mad/angry/sad/etc. One part that satisfied me is when he found out that something wrong with his family and he had to mad. This was the first time I think his expression is correct.
- What da hell is that flying scene!? Too much and too far from realistic.
- Cringe scenes are overloaded (might be called "fan-service" for fans).
- Unsolved problems in the plot: Bullies end up nothing?
- Where's Hajin? We need her cameooooo :v

A feel-good high school romance comedy

Loved it! What makes it stand out for me is the well-placed humor that runs consistent throughout the drama. It will touch your heart, refresh on some life lessons and make you cry in some parts, but definitely it will leave a feel-good effect.

Cons: may not be for those looking for wild plot twists or high drama. It's an adaptation of a webtoon filled with well-loved ingredients for a high school romance.

Pros: Highly recommended when you want to smile and laugh and drown yourself in a good romance comedy. Casting is amazing, terrific job to the casting team on this. The OST is addicting.

Friendship Vs True Love

Overall i was so obsessed with this drama untill now, the ending was quite okay for me. I just hope that Han Seojun can get his happiness to tho. But yah, drama is always a drama. A main hero must be the main character and ending for the heroin right? Hoping for more date for Seojun & Jukjyung. Hmm, right now i just wait for the webtoon ending since it more complicated the drama itself. For those who wants to watch this drama, i highly recommend it because it can make your heart fluttered and cannot miss the episodes everyday ?? its just based on my experience. Enjoy your kdrama guys. Goodluck in future for all cast in True Beauty. Will support them in every of their drama, especially Hwang In Youp oppa ❤

As soon as i finished from watching the drama, i just want to write something just to let out my feelings about this drama.

Everyone in the drama is really good for bringing their characters into life. I really love the dynamic from LJK's family. The parents's relationship, brother and sister's relationship, and how LJK's dealing with her problems with friends, boyfriend, and also herself. I also loved how the drama is taking a different direction from the webtoon. I think the director and the scriptwriter maybe taking an inspiration from Jdrama, because the balance and timing of the drama are really good (imo). It also quite a compact drama, when almost every problems can be resolved in just around 1 episode. Not too long, not too short i guess for my taste.

About the acting itself, i have to salute the FL actress. I really love her acting here. She is not affraid to look ugly and almost wore no make up, that's a commitment girl! She also can act with her body and makes me laugh lots of time. And what i really love about her is that she's never over acting. She acts natural, on point, not to subtle but not to over the top that makes me cringe. I think she is a talented actress and can have a bright future for her acting career. Her overall acting in this drama can make me believe that she is indeed a 18 years old teenager and not a 23 years old young adult, with some problem with her self esteem, school and friends.

The supporting characters are also really good, specially the family's members (her brother and sister are hillarious!), Mr. Han ( i duno how he still can manage not to laugh when he was acting), KSJ (he is good in doing expression and his voice... i loved it) and also Mr. Prince (his scenes are not alot, but left deep impression for me). Also i have to praise CEW as the ML. I think his acting skill improved alot in this drama compare to his previous work, considering he was playing almost the same character hehe (if you know which drama). I also think he is quite mature and a reserved person despite his young age, because he tend not to overact in his emotional scene and i like it!. But i have to admit, sometimes he still looks too stiff and a little bit off for his drunken scene (maybe he never drunk before? hehe). Overall, there's still lots of room for him to improve his acting skill in the future.

But still, it is not a perfect drama. That's why lots of people can love it and others may hate it. But for a family and school drama, i think it can stand the bar quite high. One thing that make me not to score this drama too high was the wedding scene in ep16. A little bit makes me cringe and want to fast foward that specific scene (too over the top and it's kinda destroy the drama's atmosphere that has been built since ep 1, such a shame for me-imo). Overall, this is a good drama if you want to watch a lighthearted and warm family drama. It also can make you laugh when you're feeling a little bit stress or sad, at least for me it really works. I sincerely recommend this drama.

I never felt second male syndrome, but I loved the acting.

I started by reading the webtoon. I found that a drama based on the was going to release. I was just like wahhh!. After reading some episodes I felt like the story was turning into a trash.Then I stopped reading and focused on the drama.

Well, I'm team SUHO!

I think this drama is second one in this year which have a strong second male syndrome after start up.

I never felt any second male syndrome in this drama. I watch this drama in telegram, and many have second male syndrome. They also know that no matter what the female lead will only end up with the male lead ?.

I LOVED THE ACTING OF CHA EUN WOO AND THE OST WAS AWESOME ?

Many of you might find this drama with cliche and boring. But I loved it ?.

I enjoyed the comedy scenes of FL and her younger brother ?. When I was watching this , I remembered the fights with my brother.

MANY OF MIGHT FIND DIFFICULT TO MOVE ON FROM THIS DRAMA.
I'M ALSO FINDING IT DIFFICULT TO MOVE.

When I saw the preview of 15th episode, I thought of dropping it because I felt the story was turning into han seo jun and im joo kyung. I stopped the webtoon because of this. But I successfully completed it!


THE CHEMISTRY BETWEEN THE LEADS WAS AWESOME.
THE OST WAS NICE ESPECIALLY THE ONE BY CHA EUN WOO.
THE STORY WAS NICE.

IT WAS A NICE ONE .
IF YOU ARE GOING TO GIVE IT A TRY ?, THEN GIVE IT.
DON'T BE BOTHERED BY OTHERS OPINION ?.

True Beauty Review! :)

Hi! This is my first time writing a review so I’m not sure if it’ll be good or not but here it is. Before the drama was aired and made, I had already read the webtoon, so I already knew the characters and I was familiar with the storyline,
The reason I have the story an 9.0 was because it really is a very good story. They included how she went through ppl finding out about her real face and how she overcame it and was able to be without makeup in school. That’s a transformation of the character and I’m glad it was included. But the story did have some things it could patch up. Like from the beginning, they made Suho like Jugyeong, so it was predictable that they would end up together. That leaves no room for Seojun to even fight for her. And when Suho left for the USA after his dad got sick, it only lasted half an episode. I think it could have maybe lasted a whole episode, to make Seojun feel better. My making Suho go to USA, I get that it was like a climax and they might break up, but they didn’t make it as dramatic as it should’ve been. Believe me, I got second lead syndrome while this was going on, and I bet many other did too.
For the acting and cast I definitely gave a 10/10. The casting is amazing and all the actors suit there roles so perfectly. I have absolutely no complaints.
For music I have an 8.0. There was a lot of music in the show, and the songs they had and OST’s were pretty nice.
Rewatch value is 8.5. I gave it that rating because the plot even after watching is still quite clear and it’s not a story that can be easily forgotten. But this genre or romcom is quite addictive and attractive, so I think considering the majority, more people would wanna rewatch it.
Well that’s all! Overall it’s a 9/10. This drama is amazing! I would recommend it to anyone who wants a drama about overcoming hardships and being truly happy. Remember, everyone is beautiful. What on the outside doesn’t matter, it’s the inside that counts :) (ewwww I’m cringing lol)
Kk ty byeeeeeeeeeee<333

Worth the watch! it was fun!

Considering how this was one of those typical k-dramas which you could have easily predicted the next moment and the amount of cliche scenes, despite all those facts in mind, this had exceeded my expectations and had by far been an enjoyable and heartwarming story. I wouldn't say that the actors who acted in this drama were the best out of the many veteran actors out there, but rather just say they are the best and whom I found most suitable for their respective roles. I don't think the outcome would be as great if their roles were played by someone else. Honestly loved Moon Ga Young, Cha Eun Woo and Hwang In-Yeop. The three of them deserved as much recognition for their spectacular performance, especially Cha Eun Woo who had shown a different side of himself and has greatly improved in acting. Throughout all the dramas I had watched of his, i'd say, how he portrayed his role here and the acting he poured through each scenes were the greatest. This is my favourite acting role of his. You can see how much he has done so well. Ofcourse, my new favourite actor Hwang In-Yeop, he reminded me so much of Kim Seonho because of his character, but loved him so much and got no words to say instead of how amazing he is and he deserves to be a MAIN LEAD in his upcoming dramas. Last but not least, Moon Ga Young, her acting is very commendable as well, her character is my most favourite character in this drama as she is filled with so much color and vibrance. Not wanting to leave out the rest of the cast, I love every one of them, from lim jugyeong's family especially her cool sister and brother to her friends sooah and sujin. It's a shame that it ended already, the ending was very satisfying. I hope if there would be season 2, we'd get to see them all in one frame again but ofcourse this time, would very much prefer for the story to revolve around Hwang In-yYeop and his future loveline.
