As a day one fan of the Webtoon it was a dream for this to become a kdrama and boy was I happy on the fact that it delivered well on high expectations. True Beauty may follow a strong love story however the female lead JuKyung shows you real life issues as a woman that is most relatable. She is afraid of her imperfections getting her bullied again and being made fun of and like us all turns to make up to help hide her insecurities which temporarily helps her find confidence . Even though she initially hides what she naturally looks like male characters Suho and SeoJun see past this and fall for who she really is on the inside. This is the essence of the story coming to light, to love yourself for who you are, to grow from your strugfles with low self esteem and know there people who will love you for who you are and if they don't they were never meant to be in your life to begin with. This kdrama is incredibly emotional taking you through the hardships of beauty standards, finding true friendship and love, the impact of deep rooted family issues as well as that of being an idol in a very judgmental society. As you would have guessed there is a love triangle and many obstacles along the way for JuKyung on her road to self discovery and learning to love herself.
There is so much to love about this drama especially it's amazing OST which takes you on a rollercoaster with this storyline. True Beauty delivers on romance, comedy and drama of course taking you on a journey with every episode as you watch their character development. If you don't give this kdrama a chance you are missing out on one of the best.
