É possível super romantizar uma preciosa recordação da infância? Ji Seong Jun era um garoto tímido e gordinho que era constantemente caçoado pelas outras crianças por causa de sua forma redonda. Quando ele se transfere para uma nova escola no quinto ano e conhece Kim Hye Jin, a garota mais linda e popular da escola, sua vida dá uma reviravolta. A doce Hye Jin torna-se sua única amiga e protetora — e eles se tornam o primeiro amor um do outro. Mas então tudo muda quando a família de Seong Jun emigra para os Estados Unidos e a empresa do pai de Hye Jin vai à falência, mudando o estilo de vida luxuoso que tinham antes. Mas isso não é tudo! A beleza de Hye Jin vinha de sua semelhança com a mãe. Mas assim que Hye Jin atinge a puberdade, ela adquire o problema de pele genético de seu pai, que deixa cicatrizes avermelhadas na pele do rosto, fazendo-a parecer um guaxinim. Quinze anos depois, Sung Joon é uma nova pessoa — homem atraente e diretor de arte bem-sucedido — que é transferido do escritório Nova York da revista de moda “The Most” para Seul para trabalhar como editor-chefe adjunto. Ele tenta encontrar sua amiga de infância, Hye Jin, novamente. Mas envergonhada de sua atual aparência pouco atraente, Hye Jin pede a sua melhor amiga, a estonteante Min Ha Ri, que se passe por ela. Mas quando Hye Jin, de repente, é transferida para o departamento de revista em seu novo emprego para trabalhar como estagiária sob a chefia de Seong Jun, por quanto tempo ela conseguirá manter sua verdadeira identidade em segredo?

Resenhas

2015 definitely had some great quality dramas filled with buzz and fervor such as Kill Me, Heal Me, Healer, and I Remember You. Even though the three dramas mentioned contains comedy, its underlying plot is heavy and convoluted. Sometimes, we just want a simple, straightforward plot that are guaranteed with comedic chops and hijinks. To me, She Was Pretty is the perfect example for that. It is indeed light, funny, and often times crazy, but there is definitely heart in the drama that tugs our own.
Personally, I've developed a connection with Hye-jin, for many particular reasons. Her character is an embodiment of the majority of women. At some point, she is relatable - and worth rooting for. Even with its flaws, SWP tugged at my heartstrings. I enjoyed it while it lasted, cried during moments of insecurity, and laughed when absurdity comes in full fold. Indeed, the story fizzled out after episode 12 (if I remember correctly), having not enough plot points to delve into for four more episodes. Siwon's ddeol-kija (crazy reporter Shin-hyuk), Hwang Jung-eum's Jackson / Kim Hye-jin and Park Seo-joon's Ji Sung-joon will definitely light up a cloudy day.

First the things that I liked... I really enjoyed the relationships that developed between all of the main characters and the staff at The Most (yes, THE Most). Ha Ri and Hye Jin are adorable together. While Ha Ri does have some demons I really do feel like the girls authentic friendship was delightful and not something I see in many dramas. The main couple were cute together but SIWON WAS AMAZING. If it were up to me, his character would be the lead of a spin off show. Also shout out to Shin Dong Mi as the Fashion Director. It was a minor role but she brought a lot of heart to it and was one of the main reasons that I loved The Most staff.
Okay, now despite all of that... the story was pretty superficial and a bit of a mess. We had these beautiful characters but their stories didn't really come together to tell anything meaningful. Hye Jin as a young girl and Hye Jin as a young woman have a lot of similar interests but virtually no personality traits in common with each other. One is elegant, the other goofy and the story never explains how just because she ran into hard times a person could change so much. This is just one example of MANY where the plot details are thrown in but never really integrated into the story. The Management Team, Sung Joon's weird eating/zombie habits, Hye Jin's sister, Ha Ri's bizarre relationship with her parents and step-parents, (which had oddly both too much and too little detail)...and don't get me started about the CEO's son mystery. In the end all of these things just felt like red herrings thrown in to fill time around the central love quadrangle.
In summary, I really, really enjoyed parts of this show but, despite the show being about the importance of what's below the surface, as a cohesive drama She was pretty lacked a lot of depth. Watch it for the cute fluff but don't expect much more.
