Cute, if it's your first drama

After having "Squid Game" and "Extraordinary Attorney Woo" as my firsts experiences with kdramas I was expecting another well produced, interesting and captivating drama with great acting but it's not really what I found.

If you're looking for something simple, cliche and to finish quickly this is for you.

I like the story, who doesn't love the typical kdrama love story right? But I here's a few things that disappointed me:

Characters - The secondary characters and couples are way more interesting than the lead ones. Which would be fine if Shin Sol-i and Cha Heon were at least likeable. But they're not.

Acting - I don't who's idea was to add a huge amount of aegyo into the acting in this drama but it's really bad and embarrassing.

Rushed story - There's not enough development for the characters, their struggles and goals. Most of the show focus on the lead couple relationship and everything else is forgotten.

I do however recommend "A Love So Beautiful" if you need a drama to watch with kids. They are probably going to love it.

True Beauty: A guilty pleasure.

There's absolutely nothing extraordinary about this drama, but it does a very good job at being medium. Really!

Here's a few of my thoughts (no spoilers)

Writing - It's a shame that the bullyng and the characters traumas weren't really developed. It had a lot of potential, but they just covered it with comedy. So even though the drama has interesting and important topics, they weren't explored as they should.
Also, why so many embarrassing scenes? I never skip scenes but this button was definitely used on this drama.

Couples - The drama focused so much on the romance that at some point people forgot about the first plot, Lim Jun Kyung problem with her appearance and the bullying.
The whole "Who's she ending up with" wasn't necessary and made the story worst in my opinion. But I liked the final couple, so I'll give them that.

Acting - None of the actors showed a award worthy performance but they didn't disappointed me as some people said they would. It's decent.

OST's - I loved every single song in this drama!

True Beauty made me laugh, tear down, made me angry, sad and root for the characters. It's worth watching and I recommend if you're looking for a funny, silly, easy watch drama.

Overall it's pretty decent although I wouldn't watch it with my friends who aren't part of this kdrama world cuz it would be embarrassing. A true guilty pleasure.
