Cute

There are no gigantic spoilers but maybe a few if you don't want absolutely anything to be known before watching it... but I don't know if you'd be reading this to begin with then....


I like the fact that it revolved around the make up industry. There's some other shows that also do this that I like, like Face-Off.

The plot is cute, not very surprising or anything new. I like how it approached the topic of scars in Chinese culture. I've known about this taboo but it is the first time I've really seen it in a drama, especially with it being such an important part of the story line. So, that was really interesting to see the back story about it an dhow it effected her and her family.

Characters:
to be honest, the main characters are not my favorite, they just seem kind of flat. However, I love the side characters, the two best female friends, especially the one that was a former competitor. I really liked watching her character development. I also liked the relationship development with the plastic surgeon/male lead's best best friend.

The love triangle felt annoying and like it took too long to clear up. It just started to feel repetitive. Love triangles seem like they are mandatory in C-dramas now-a-days and I think I am just worn out with them since its such a repetitive plot point. It's not this dramas fault though, it's just something the majority of dramas do.

Overall, the character web was probably one of the best parts. It's very cute and the main relationship has ups and downs but it was fun to watch.
