Beleza Verdadeira (2020)

Will Be a Cult Classic

What do I even say about True Beauty? It's amazing. Everything about it. The lead actress is beautiful and so, so funny. She makes the character so loveable, both by the 1st and 2nd male leads, and by the rest of the cast and audience.

There is a little bit of that trope where when she's the "ugly duckling" it's almost like the early 2000s romcoms where she just has her hair up and some glasses on. lol But it's still amazing.

My only complaint is how unbelievably difficult they made it for us to choose which guy she should be with. This is hands down the worst case of 2nd male syndrome I've ever had. And I'm not the only one. To this day I see half the people #TeamSuHo and half #TeamSeoJun. I don't even know if I know where I stand. lol

Surprisingly one of my favorites

Really loved it! When it was released I thought it was overhyped because it's based on a romance/comedy webtoon so I was like I'm sure even if it's good it won't be great because I like to watch romance/comedy dramas sometimes but it's not my favorite genre also people tend to over hype tv shows with idols in it..But I really wanted to watch something for Cha Eunwoo because I love him as a person so I was like I'll try watching this just to see how he acts and wasn't expecting much from the show... But omg it's actually really good.

The show was heartwarming,cute and hilarious. Absolutely loved the cast,it was my first time watching anything for all the leads and loved them all. The story wasn't like entirely new but how it's put together was good. And without spoiling much was I the only one who like didn't side in which one she should've end up with?..Like I loved both leads and both were good for her and whoever she ended up with it makes sense and I agree with,but I feel bad for the other one he deserves better but not getting her ..like he should've had some different ending romantically wise..

It was not that bad

Im an avid fan of the manhwa before they decided to make this into a series. Knowing that the manhwa is still ongoing, i didnt want to watch in case i feel disappointed and all. But friends was telling me there isn't much link which i kind of agreed on. To be honest i really wanted Jisoo to take on the role of Ju gyeong but MGY did a good job at it too.

The acting was good, i had no comments, definitely a strong second lead syndrome for sure! But towards the end, everything felt so rushed. I watched for the interactions and the comedy. But i would definitely suggest to read the manhwa!

Maaaria, Mariaa

True beauty is the first drama where I could not wait until it was finished airing to binge it.
The 8 weeks between December and February were a torture because I could not watch anything else besides this drama.

True Beauty evolves around Lim Joo Gyung who gets bullied for her appearance by her classmates. There comes a point where she can not take it any more and wants to jump from a rooftop. Before doing so, Lee Su Ho appears out of coincidence and stops her from jumping. Lim Joo Gyung gets into enhancing her beauty through make-up and changes her school. People at her new school admire her looks, and she quickly finds new friends. The only thing is that Lee Su Ho is one of her classmates and knows how she looks, actually. She wants to prevent him from finding out about her real looks, because she does not want to get bullied again.

True beauty has amazing main/lead and supporting roles. We get to meet siblings, friends and classmates as well as teachers and their storylines. The acting was extremely well too, and I enjoyed every bit of it.

Moon Ga Young (Lim Joo Gyung) captured my eye some time ago, especially since I found out that she was born in Germany. I really like her other dramas, and that one was no exception.
For Cha Eun Woo (Lee Su Ho), I do not know if they just give him these types of roles, like always, or if that is just how he wants to present himself, too. If you have seen him in other dramas, he is playing the exact same role, such as in My ID is Beauty Gangnam or the historical drama where he is a prince. He does not do his job awful, tho. It is just something we recognize from him.
Hwang In Yeop (Han Soe Jun) my dear baby :D. You did amazing sweetie. This is my first drama I've seen with him, and I genuinely liked his acting and his role sooooo.
All the other actors were incredible, too. Kang Soo Jin was such an interesting character. I completely understood why she was so desperate and rooted for her breaking free.

True Beauty is a light-hearted and funny drama with realistic elements. I laughed amazingly much and identified with the characters.
I personally liked the second-lead-male better than the guy she ends up with, but it is how it is :D.
Furthermore, I really liked that the gender roles, here, were not strictly followed to spice up some things in the side couple.

The ending scene and everybody gets together once again made me tear up.
Not all good dramas need to be heavy and complex. They simply need to be enjoyable and able to draw you into their world. True Beauty did exactly this, and I hope for more amazing dramas like this to come.

The purpose of the story is depicted in a beautiful style. elegant story.

A beautiful simple story. every one doing best work for charish the drama. story concept is simple with motive but created and directed this drama with creativity. Good wishes. The purpose of the story is depicted in a beautiful style. To express your thoughts in a new way, the inner beauty of a person is more meaningful than the outer beauty. The story and its motive were simple but it was filmed in such a new style that it became a better story in itself. The director and everyone did a very good job. i really like this drama. Good wishes to all this drama members.

Had high expectations, was disappointed

I had pretty high expectations for this drama but in the end it was disappointing. The FL and ML are honestly kind of boring and 2nd ML was what carried the show. FL and ML's relationship was kind of awkward through out the show, the bromance between ML and 2nd ML was better than the main romantic relationship.

The show was supposed to be about FL's struggle with self confidence and society's beauty standard but the show didn't really focus on that. The main focus seemed to be on her love triangle between the Male leads. Honestly for me the love triangle was really annoying and FL should've been with the 2nd ML.

The first few episodes were very good. The humour was great and it got me hooked. After the first 10 episodes it started to get a little draggy and I lost interest. Of course I convinced myself to push through and finish it which felt like a chore

I heard about this show before it came out so I was looking forward to watching it once it started airing and I didn’t waste any time once it started up. I will admit that I didn’t read the webtoon so I went into this drama without any knowledge of the storyline. Cha Eun Woo is an actor that I like and I was looking forward to seeing his fine ass in another drama.

True Beauty was an engaging and entertaining k-drama and I really enjoyed it. There were some parts of the show that I didn’t care for but overall, it was good. Let’s break down my thoughts about the bigger parts of the show, shall we?

The romance between Lee Su Ho and Lim Joo Kyung was a super cute one. I really enjoyed seeing both the past Su Ho and Joo Kyung and the current Su Ho and Joo Kyung. Su Ho was such a loner and needed someone like Joo Kyung in his life. Especially considering his home life and everything he went through on that front. Joo Kyung needed someone like Su Ho in her life as well. He was completely loyal to her and didn’t care what she looked like. He was so emotionally invested in her happiness that it made me happy.

The love triangle never really felt like a love triangle to me because Lim Joo Kyung loved who she loved and never once did she waver in that. Not even when Su Ho was being an ass for years. She was faithful to him and to their relationship, even when he didn’t deserve it…she was Team Su Ho. I completely understood it and rooted for the two of them to figure themselves out. She never had the chance to hide her true self from him and I loved that she never forgot it. He loved her no matter what her face looked like and even though Seo Joon did as well after a while, I always rooted for Su Ho and Joo Kyung.

The supporting cast was a memorable one for sure. I think of all of the groups of friends covered in this show, my favorite was probably Su Ho’s friend group after he fell out with Seo Joon. I liked all of the boys but my favorite was Su Ho’s group because they were so freaking funny with how jealous they got of Seo Joon. Su Ho was theirs and they didn’t let anyone (even Su Ho) forget it.

Seo Joon’s squad was a loyal squad as well and though I did like them, I liked the nerds a smidge more. Joo Kyung’s new school squad wasn’t my favorite for obvious reasons and there were times when I wanted to smack some sense into Joo Kyung herself but every single time I thought that, Joo Kyung came to her senses. I loved that her personality never really changed throughout the show. She was just as kindhearted in the end as she was in the beginning and though she lost her way a time or two, she always came through and her friends benefitted from her forgiving nature. Aside from the school friends, I also really enjoyed getting to know Joo Kyung’s family and the secondary romance between her sister and their teacher was a fun addition to this show. The teacher reminded me of how extra Joo Kyung was but they were both such charming characters that it worked in their favor because I was a fan of theirs throughout the entire show. I loved seeing Joo Kyung’s younger brother and Seo Joon’s younger sister bicker their way to becoming close and I really enjoyed seeing Su Ho and his father work on rebuilding their relationship as well. Lots of great characters for sure.

There was a lot to offer with this show and for me, personally, I never once got bored with what was happening. There are plenty of shows with slow beginnings or middles that drag but I didn’t find that to be the case with True Beauty. Each of the main characters shined in their own way and brought something different to the table that made tuning in every week a delight. I’m very happy that I gave this show a try and I’m looking forward to more acting goodness from this cast. I definitely recommend this show if you’re looking for a fun high school romance with charming characters and some deep plotlines that will keep you glued to your screen. This was a delightful k-drama and you won’t be sorry, I don’t think.

True beauty is the perfect example of clichés done well. If you're looking for a new story, you'll probably be disappointed. True beauty is like the story you've heard before with only some details changed. But that doesn't necessarily make it bad. Like I said it's predictable and cheesy but it's done well.
If you're looking for a no brainer rom-com where you don't have to follow much of a plot and its just funny and cute to watch, you might like this.
Even though a lot of people had a huge second lead syndrome in this, I actually shipped the main couple from the start, so I enjoyed it a lot. There are some things that are a bit frustrating but overall it's a fun ride.

REASONS WHY I LOVE HAN SEO JUN

1. he is just sooooooooo fucking fine (if you don't agree you can go and jump into an ocean)
2. even though he loved the FML he didn't try to fight for her but rather cared for her when she was in need and gave her space when she needed it
3. he respected his friends' feelings
4. the fact that he hates bullies
5. his fucking aura
6. the way he brought the main lead together (when you watch the show you would know)
7. his style
8. when he roars (oh my f*&k me)
9. and also the way he makes everyone scared when he enters (that is so fucking sexy)
Okay that is all for now cause I don't think it would be proper for me to write the other thoughts as they are quite sexual
anyway I still hoped that the FML and Han Seo Jun would have ended up together but whatever
don't you dare dream of Han Seo Jun he is mine
Hope you enjoy the show bye
