if you like rom-coms true beauty is a must watch

I loved this drama! It may seem like your typical cliche drama, but the story actually builds quite nicely. I liked how there were serious topics being brought up, while the comedy level wasn't lacking and was compensating for all the underlying sadness. Plus, (I don't want to sound cheesy but..) the level of cute high school romance was enough to give me butterflies. Anyway, I almost never cry when I'm watching a movie or a drama, but unexpectedly, I cried for this one. This made me realize how much the characters grew on me and how much I loved True Beauty. All of the cast members did so great with this drama, almost to the point where I didn't feel like they were acting at all. Ga Young, Eun Woo and In Yeop have seriously grown on me and I will continue to keep tabs on them.

This drama is for sure a must watch and should be put onto your watchlists, but there were some areas I wish they did better on. One major thing is that the supporting characters are really underdeveloped. Other than being friends with the main cast or going to the same school, the viewers don't know anything about them. It didn't affect the storyline or cause confusion, I just wished we got to know the supporting characters too, since they also play a big part. Another downside is that the beginning and the end of the drama were the best parts. The middle was a little uneventful and it made the drama seem heavy at times (if that makes sense). Regardless, you should watch it! There are so many references (to other movies and dramas) and familiar faces (guest actors) that made a cherry on top. So get your stuff together and start binging.

(I didn't read the web-toon)
