Jugyeong Lim has been treated unfairly by her family and bullied by her enemies due to being perceived as ugly. She learns how to use makeup by binge-watching Youtube tutorials. As she slowly masters the art of makeovers, her dramatic transformation leads to her overwhelming popularity and fame.
Armed with her newfound beauty, Jugyeong is in a love triangle with two of the most handsome boys at school: Suho, the stoic mystery man who knows her secret and Seojun, the "bad boy." But will her elite status be short-lived? How long can she keep her true appearance a secret?
Living in a society where people are judged based on their physical appearance, Jugyeong navigates both high school and her college life, while her self-esteem, romantic life and career are constantly in flux.
Yaongyi began drawing at a young age, and dreamed of becoming a comic creator as a child. She had brief interests in other career paths, calling them "flings" in her interview with LINE Webtoon, but always returned to art. She worked a handful of jobs before eventually creating True Beauty. Her real name is Kim Na-young and she was born on April 24, 1991. Many fans were impressed with her looks following her face reveal one year after 0rue Beauty's debut, stating that "an angel is drawing an angel".
characters are shallow. hated most of them. It started off okay, with great potential right? But then, the main character develops this horrible cycle of self doubt, which she then has to be reassured by a hot guy, but then there no way a hot guy could like her, so she get's even more insecure! Furthermore, the character seemingly does not work hard at all in school. She is a bad role model, despite her 'kindness', because she does not try hard to get anywhere, most of her successes are handed to her! And she isn't truly kind. She is a flat, polite, and fake cheery person with no depth at all. She deceives everyone she knows, as her friends don't even know what she really looks like! And neither does her boyfriend! She pastes a fake face on, and a fake attitude. The only interesting characters so far are the men, because despite all of the women in this story, they don't have to viciously attack and hurt each other just to feel better! They have guy spats, and their back stories are wayyy more interesting than the main characters. That's another thing. Why is the main character the most boring and standard character? She has very little development, basically a doll wound up to be insecure, and everyone else has the potential to be awesome characters, but then they are all drawn to her, someone with basically no personality? The art bothers me as well. Despite the main character having serious self doubt about weight and body shape (nothing else apparently), when she puts on a face of make up, she also drops 50 pounds! That girl has an inhumane thigh gap, which okay, if that's your style, then rock it, but if she is seriously going to look like she have a good amount of healthy fat on her without make up, and then a thigh gap and a thin waist with make up, that seems unrealistic, and is frankly selling an incorrect image on make up. Trust me. I wear it and I certainly do not get a thigh gap spontaneously. If it was meant to be artistic licence or some kind of metaphor, I think it was grossly over exaggerated and frankly, lies to the audience about self image. If a girl is going to love herself, make up or without, then she should love all of herself, not just love that miracle thigh gap! This story, as it developed, spiraled way out of control in the wrong direction. It's a cheap thrill read, and I would not recommend to anyone looking for an actual message and a good plot. Sorry. :( edit: it has gotten worse. Whatever I saw in the male leads has vanished. They are all stupid jerks. And they used a creepy dude who hits on women as "trauma". Which is not a bad start for story telling but they ruined anything valuable in that plot point because she had to get saved by her boyfriend yet again and nothing was actually solved. That and the girls look down on people who are confident in their looks no matter how "ugly" they are. Which in this case I understand because the person in question was a womanizer who was clearly overstepping his boundaries and deserved a whop in the face but the girls generalized all "ugly" people who are confident in that category which is bullshit. This is progressively getting worse.

update: feb 25 2021 --- LITERALLY JUGYEONG STOP BEING A CRYBABY AND WHINING ABOUT HOW YOU WONT DATE A GUY FOR LOOKING ANYTHING EXCEPT EXACTLY LIKE HIS PFP WHEN YOU PHOTOSHOP EVERY PICTURE OF YOURSELF AND THE ENTIRE POINT Of THE WEBTOON IS HOW YOU LOOK COMPLETELY DIFFERENT WITH MAKEUP ON-
she was literally the first full-on relatable character i encountered, something about her just felt so homely with her interests and backstory which were widely appealing to any nerdy/underdog kids irl... like i personally, along with many others given this series' popularity, really saw themselves in her and loved her for her lowkey sassiness hidden behind a cute and insecure persona. however, after becoming ✨beautiful✨ all she does is think about ways to become more beautiful and avoid her old self and habits at any cost, hating being without makeup for even a second, and the barefaced scenes in the webtoon are...no longer there. i miss edgy freshman jugyeong who was always chilling with emo music, comics, pajamas, and no makeup when meeting up with suho and having awkward yet entertaining visits to her house by him. like, we can't forget that one scene where jugyeong offered to cook for suho and the family but she had no clue how to follow the recipe, which resulted in suho getting fed up and creating the meal instead, wowing everyone and giving jugeyong another reason to tease him and fall in love with him... and be embarassed by for the rest of her life. like, where was the bonding where seojun saw her at her worst? nowhere! he loved her for her fake skinny perfect persona, not the excitable-nerd-who-doesn't-do-things-correctly for which suho loved her.
As a micro influencer who loves horror and makeup, I’ve been obsessed with this series for over a year and the obsession hasn’t diminished in the least
𓂃 𓈒𓏸 Would you rather let Suho step on you OR have Seojun run you over with his truck?
BOTH.
Now, feel free to call me shallow cause I only read this for the pretty boys (≖⩊≖)
The rest of it (and I really do mean THE REST of it) grated on my nerves. Because honestly, even disregarding the blatant fat-phobia, toxic beauty standards boohoo, so much for TRUE beauty and sexualisation of girlie pops who should be studying their high school math… my question stands:
GIRLHOOD, WHERE ART THOU?
Not only was the message being shoved down my throat wholly unbearable, but what pissed me off more was Sujin’s characterisation. Can someone please grab these characters by the ear and make them do productive shit, like… I don’t know, STUDIES? so I say ignoring my own trigonometry worksheet (ᵕ—ᴗ—)
Speaking of being surface-level and shallow ~
I’ll only continue for my sweet tsundere prince Suho to blush my way through. Plus points for the stunning artwork and Jugyeong’s Marinette-Dupain-Cheng level tomfoolery that might as well be illegally hilarious. The REST? A trainwreck that’s better left ignored •𐃷•
Do you want to know a trope that I hate? The one where a girl is disliked because of her appearance so she changes her appearance then she is treated as a princess by every single one.
You might ask me why I would read this if I hate that kind of trope. Well, I kept hearing about it and thought I should give it a shot. Also, I needed some reading practice in Korean.
The art is absolutely beautiful but the plot is mediocre. Falling in love with a flower boy who knows a secret of yours? Wow. I haven't heard that plot since two days ago. Also, I heard this is the artist's debut webtoon so the first few chapters has weird-pacing and out-of-place thoughts. And the main character's entire personality is loser-without-makeup, pretty-girl-with-make-up, and manhwa-reader.
But that isn't the reason I dnf-ed it. I dnf-ed it because another girl popped up and as soon as she said that "Why her? She's not even that pretty," she was labeled as a villain. Then she was criticized for uploading photos that showed of her silhouette. That is high-school drama bullshit (which is understandable because they're in high-school at the moment) but I just don't have time for that.
Okay, so I know that I originally gave this Webtoon a 5 star review, but I had to bring it down a few starts, because now I’m just disappointed...
At the beginning of the story, it was amazing. I could relate to the main character. I, myself have been bullied in middle school for my looks and my lack of social skills. When I got into high school I changed my appearance and became more outgoing and that’s how I gained more attention. I loved the main character’s personality at the beginning and I was so excited to read about her journey to loving herself and discovering she does not need to rely so much on makeup.
Then... it all went down..
This started to went down when she dated Seojun.
I’m not saying this because I don’t want them together, I love both Suho and Seojun. This started to went down because that was all the story focused about. The story literally changed from drama to romance. This story went from about a young teen’s journey through her life to trying to deal with her problems with the help of Suho, to a completely out of place love triangle with no development in her character at all.
Suho had amazing development. Seojun had amazing development. Even Sujin had development. (We had a glimpse at her personal life, I wished she just wasn’t gone like that) What about Jugyeong?
No development. In fact, it went backwards.
She became a hypocrite. She judges people based on their appearance if they don’t wear makeup when she herself wears tons of makeup everyday. She doesn’t really focus on her dreams of being a makeup artist, and instead the story focuses on her getting drunk and being with Seojun.
It really saddens me to give this story a low rating, because the story at the beginning was amazing. But now, it just seems really bland and if it wasn’t for the beautiful artwork, a lot more people would drop this series.
I’m still reading chapters to see what happens, and I’m waiting for the Korean Drama to come out, but other than that, I’m just not as into this series as before...
For those who wish to read something similar but better, I suggest the manga “Switch Girl” and the Webtoon “Lookism.”
These two starts are for the beautiful artwork, Seojun, and Suho.
OLD REVIEW:
Y'ALL THIS WEBTOON HAS ME ROLLING IN EMOTIONS I CAN'T WAIT EVERY WEEK FOR THE NEXT CHAPTER. :0000000
EDIT AFTER FINALE: okay, officially giving 3 stars. After. Almost 5 years of reading this it really dragged for awhile. It starts off great and entertaining. But I wish the main character had really had more growth before the literal final episode.
When I first found this series there were 28 episodes (chapters) released and I read them in one sitting (about 6 hours straight lol). I could not take myself away from the story. I’m a sucker for some romance and this totes has that. The story seems super surface level at the start but actually touches on some deeper/heavier themes such as family/money problems, self esteem/worth etc which is a great refresher from some more shallow romance stories.
I give this a 4/5 for now because at the time of this review the Webtoon is still being published.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
on hold till when we'll never know bcs the drama was just so.. blah. and tiring. mean girl here (idiota heroine that falls to her trap right on) love triangle (hexagon or more) there. ow here om there. its a neverending k-drama (which im not in a mood for). the only character i liked was the main love interest
True Beauty starts out okay. It's relatable, though horribly cliche as it's another one of those self-insert romances that doesn't do anything differently, but I was somewhat interested in the premise. I like the idea of an ugly girl doing her best to improve herself, but the problem with True Beauty is that the main character never really has to struggle. She messes her make up in the beginning, but she quickly masters it and then becomes the most attractive character in the entire story. It's also ironic that the story is about being appreciated in spite of the characters looks, but the character only cares about the most attractive men in the story.
Art is fairly solid, but anatomy can be incredibly wonky at times (The characters often have Slender Man esque proportions and same facey features). I would recommend reading this if you're bored, but otherwise, I'd give this a pass.
Also as a side note: it's kind of weird how the author photoshops herself to look like her main character and evidently has gone under the knife. Her story is about embracing your "true beauty", but in reality, it's likely that she mutilated herself through surgery and manipulates her photos to fit the image of a fictional character that she's created. Not saying there's anything wrong with plastic surgery or editing your photos, but it all feels a bit dishonest considering the subject matter.
My first Manga ever and I'm OBSESSED. After trying Lore Olympus on Webtoon and struggling to get past the first ten episodes, I turned my attentions over to True Beauty. And that was an excellent decision.
True Beauty follows a shy teenage girl who is bullied at school for her appearance. After getting advice online, she starts wearing make-up and her entire life changes. The story has excellent commentary on beauty standards and the pressures of social media.
Then there are the ships, which are soo good (she better end up with )
The artwork for the most part is done well, but there are occasional panels where it gets super weird. Our main character is also a bit naïve at things that a pretty obvious at times, but other than that, loved it!
4.1 stars? You have got to be kidding me! I ended up reading this on Webtoons after being dared into it, by a couple of Korean friends who basically told me that there was no way I'd get through this abomination no matter how big of a comic aficionado I might be. And then my curiosity got the better of me. The graphics looked quite pretty, so I figured, how bad can it be?
Little did I know it can get... well... absolutely gruesome. The main character, without any particular disfigurement, is so ashamed of her normal teenager face that she prefers to live a bloody double life than for people to see her natural face. To the point where after several months of a relationship, her boyfriend hasn't actually seen her face. And this is basically the most important goal of her life, for people not to figure out what she actually looks like!! I think I kept waiting for the punchline, for the teaching moment, but it never came. The level of shallowness and lack of aspiration towards anything meaningful in the characters is just mind numbing. Apparently to the author of this comic, it's perfectly ok for a girl to not stand up for herself and who she is, instead either let herself get treated like a doormat, or hide behind a thick layer of makeup!
This comic has apparently become quite popular internationally. But is this the example young girls should follow? Are these the kind of values they should have? Don't get me wrong, I'm the last person on earth to have something against aesthetics or beauty. But to say, if you're not within certain standards of beauty, you're nothing? How is this a morally acceptable message? And please, do not lecture me about cultural differences. I've spent my life moving from continent to continent, it's been a good lesson in the fact that we are all human beings in the end. And hey, it was my Korean friends calling this an abomination that got me curious in the first place.
So, to the author of this "thing", thanks for setting the female people of this world a few hundred years back. Nicely done.
update: ya i'm dnf'ing. it's too problematic and suho disappeared after sixty chapters of buildup. like what's the point of developing that and then making him disappear???? he literally bounced when things were just starting to get good between him and every other character like???? his relationship with jugyeong and seojun was the only thing keeping me around. i gave yaongyi ten chapters to bring suho back and she didn't so i'm done. i'm just mad at myself for not stopping when i saw this trainwreck coming from a mile away 😩
----
i'm about halfway through season 1 on webtoons and still chugging through. that's a good sign considering i dnf'd the last few korean webcomics i read. so why is my rating so low? because i'm finding myself in a pattern where the creator has a great foundation but the execution keeps whittling away at it. yaongyi should have played to her strengths with her great comedic timing and geeks just geeking out but it feels like she forgets about all of that after chapter 15 with all the unnecessary tropes and backstory she keeps adding. like i want more of this:
and less of all the other shit like the colorism, fatphobia, cattiness between girls, unchallenged hypersexualization of girls esp those still in high school, and so much more i know i'm forgetting. the fact that these kids are still in high school is so weird because there are times when they act like adults and then other times when they act like kids. the mc is an insecure mess and conflict averse as teens tend to be. she never says "no" and she constantly lets people steamroll her. she wasn't like this at first; jugyeong was really funny, cute, and relatable. but as the chapters keep introducing new characters, she dives into a pitfall that most kdrama heroines unfortunately do—they become subservient wimps who fade into the background. it's really annoying.
true beauty had all the makings to be superior in the kdrama romcom genre with its horror-loving geeks and comedic meme art. the constant addition of new characters, forgotten characters with no resolution, trauma for drama, and unchallenged problematic shit puts it in the ranks of every kdrama/webtoon that "had its moments" and will be forgotten within the next few years. for a series called "true" beauty, every page ironically emphasizes outer beauty with everybody's tall, slim, pale, instagrammable looks. it's the toxic messages shrouded in shallow poetics and philosophies that really gets to me. this series wants to pretend it's doing something new with its "normal-looking quirky horror geek who loves makeup" marketing only to have the same beaten kdrama soap opera tropes as any other series. if this keeps up, i'm most likely going to dnf. i'm already finding myself skipping through a lot of it and it's just so disappointing. i'm hoping someone will find inspiration in this and actually deliver a more cohesive story.
tw: cyber/bullying, fatphobia, colorism (skin whitening is encouraged and every character is pale af), sexual harassment, stalking, sexism, eating disorders, suicide, parent death, alcoholism, child abuse
This started off well. I liked the premise of it and the hint of what was to come , I mean the title is true beauty , our FMC was a social outcast who had to turn to makeup in order to feel validated , accepted , liked and confident , you’d figure that in the span of the story she would come to love herself and understand what TRUE BEAUTY is , right ? pshhh wrong .
ok well maybe it happens … it probably does but tbh it took waaaaay too long and I got tired of waiting .The MORAL of the story was never addressed . I could only take that sort of behavior long enough without getting annoyed . Ironically this seemed to have the opposite effect I expected it to , instead of empowering women( and men ig) and sending the message it was supposed to, it made me feel weird ? It had me considering whether I should be putting on makeup and making more of an effort in my appearance . WHY?! This stopped being about how appearance doesn't matter and I hate how it actually seemed to become abt how they do ?!
It had that awkward funny charm in the beginning and I was kinda liking it. Our FMC ( I'm sorry the names slip by me ) actually had personality . She was the kind of geek I could relate to and want to be friends with ? she was sweet, kinda hilarious , she liked mangas , horror ( personally not my thing but..) and she liked rock music . SHE LIKED LINKIN PARK , uhmm marry me ! and the meme faces that were included ? rocked my world. SHE WAS RELATABLE . If this book stuck to it then this review would probably be different .
She WAS also insecure but I was looking forward to her journey in development . Said development ? ALL WRONG . Now she lets go of her school work and has no ambitions .Her biggest fear is anyone seeing her bare ‘ugly’ face to the point where she's reduced to tears .Her hobbies seem to disappear and she lacks personality . where she was once sweet and charmingly awkward , she is now sickeningly sweet to the point where it seems fake . her relationships with friends and pretty much everyone are dry and polite and seemingly go nowhere . seriously what does she even talk to ppl about ? how is anyone even into her other than her looks ? I don't get it , she's so boring .The only things she would do is go out to eat/drink and take pics of herself , photoshop them and post them on her ‘Nstagram’ Not only are her relationships shallow and distanced due to her need to always seem perfect and beautiful, but she becomes shallow too . Its toxic and there's no chemistry and depth once you think about it
It's really disappointing that it got the point where I practically HATED her one dimensional self. Her first question when informed of an ex girlfriend of a friend was “was she pretty ?” UGHHHHH *banging my head against a wall* YOU.SHOULD.NOT.CAAAARE.. How havent u learned yet ? She seems to develop a drinking problem that unnecessary drama always seems to arise from. With the zero control she has she should realize it's a problem. Instead she always has to rely and fall onto other ppl to take care of her during it .I'm not saying it's not okay to depend on others but I think she really pushed it and I wouldn't want to be in that situation.Is it always on others to sort of solve her problems ? She takes no initiative whatsoever.
Drama - Maybe I'm just not meant for this .I seriously would have preferred sticking to the beginning of the story with the direction it was heading rather than making this a typical cliche love triangle and tropes that focuses purely on romance and drama that really just frustrated me .Colorism, fatphobia,macho-man ,a borderline rapist and jealousy+ bitchiness between girls to the point where a character seemed to be introduced for just that plotline and seemingly dumped and forgotten after .Speaking of plotlines that were dumped , what happened when it came to FMC’s family issues ? never delved into after those brief scenes highlighting problems . Someone going to the point where they were basically just a clone of the FMC was my final straw .
Final : Ep 139 and the message which still hadn't been addressed is where I decided to stop .DNF coz it DRAGGGEDDDD and is problematic. Would not recommend
Also heard theres a k-drama adaptation which does it better . is it worth watching ? coz i feel like i might wanna try
Review 1 :> This was actually not bad. The first few episodes were really... I dunno, weird, I guess- but it got better throughout the episodes.
Review 2 Episode Count: 105 Date: August 8-9; 2020
Okay... I re-read the whole series (the episodes that have come out for now) and I have a bit more to say than my last review...
I'm obsessed (and I mean obsessed ) with this webtoon- I love the storyline, the characters, everything! (okay maybe not *everything* but overall, this is definitely my favorite webtoon by far)
**(SPOILERS- duh)** The Storyline A lot (?) happens throughout this webtoon (obviously, it's over 100 episodes lol) so I'm not going to type out a whole summary, but this webtoon is packed with drama, romance, and good lessons/morals, and I'm so here for it. Of course, it's a romance so it's EXTREMELY cliche, but it's such an entertaining story and just a great-read, in my humble opinion.
The genre of this webtoon is romance, so the main characters are Jugyeong (the main MC), and her two love interests: Suho and Seojun. Jugyeong is insecure about her natural face and her physical appearance, so she wears make-up that makes her look completely different, so most people don't realize that Jugyeong with make-up and without are the same person.
At the beginning to around the middle of the webtoon, I was 100% on Team Suho. Yes, he was mean to Junyeong when they first met, but he had a good reason for that (in my opinion). And anyway, he admitted that he had started liking Junyeong when she started recommending some comics to him at the bookstore, when she wasn't wearing any make-up. Unlike Seojun, at the beginning of the story, Suho knew what Junyeong looked like naturally, and still liked her for who she was, not regarding her appearance. (Note that both Suho and Seojun liked her at this time.)
Suho soon has to go back to Korea to take care of his dad, leaving Junyeong for what could be forever (but obviously not because then the story would end). At the airport before he leaves, he and Junyeong confess their feelings the each other, and it was such a wholesome yet sad scene :(
Anyway, fast forwarding about 2-3 years, Junyeong is 21. Seojun asks her to be his girlfriend and the two start dating again. This is around the part where I kind of jumped over to Team Seojun since Suho was no longer there, and Seojun is a really good guy too, and their relationship is very cute and wholesome (?). Plus, Junyeong reveals her natural face to him and it didn't change his feelings for her, so yay! Soon, Suho returns back to Korea, realizing his feelings for Junyeong weren't gone, but instead, had grown since he had left all those years ago. At this point, I'm not sure whether I'm not team Seojun or Suho; Seojun is the boyfriend, and he truly cares for Junyeong, despite the fact that her make-up makes her look completely different, but I can't help but still ship her with Suho, since that was the first-introduced love interest, and they both had so many moments and memories together. Plus, I think Suho and Junyeong share more common interests than her and Seojun, like their love of horror books and movies.
This is kind of what happens at the ending (not the ending, episode 105): Seojun realizes how Suho and Junyeong are so comfortable around each other and gets really jealous, so he almost starts a fight with Suho and takes it off on Junyeong. Junyeong, obviously, is mad at Seojun for not realizing that she can be trusted and that she loves him, not Suho, but Seojun still doesn't get why Junyeong is so mad. This is basically where the webtoon stops (for now, a new episode will come out next Wednesday). At this point, I'm more on Team Suho than Team Seojun because Seojun's jealously is a big problem. However, I think Junyeong is being a bit hypocritical, since she was really jealous and suspicious of Seojun and Heeyeon, but this is just my opinion. EHHH but then again, am I really on team Suho because I can't stand to think if Seojun and Junyeong broke up, because they've both done a lot of each other, Seojun especially (I feel like).
There are times when the story is a bit weird like when Sujin was no longer in the story for like ages, but then she suddenly returns. However, I know this webtoon is written through episodes, so it's difficult to mention every detail in every single episode, so I completely understand this. Again, love this storyline overall, and there's drama in basically every episode which is AWESOME-
The Characters JUNYEONG -> Okay, I LOVE Junyeong's character. Her personality is what I feel like most teenage girls can relate too. Junyeong isn't some perfect girl which makes her really relatable, and she's insecure about the way people think of her and also the way she looks, which I think is a common insecurity people have. Although I think I know why Junyeong's personality is supposedly 'attractive' (well, both Suho and Seojun like her soo), I think Junyeong is a bit... naive.. and dumb? She's so clueless when it comes to romance which I get, she's never dated anyone before, but how can she possibly not tell that Suho and Seojun OBVIOUSLY like her, and there are just multiple times Seojun doesn't notice the most obvious things (and she's 21!) I also think that Junyeong's taste in guys are mostly on their appearance (I know this is a bold assumption but the number of times she just goes 'omg he's so handsome' like-!? LOL), which is kinda :/
SUHO -> Okay ngl, like I said, I like Suho more than Seojun. I just think that his character is more likeable in my opinion- yes, he gets jealous like Seojun but he's not like those stereotypical "cool guys", he has to go see a therapist at times and is shy and insecure (?) despite all the attention he gets for his appearance. Plus, he fell for Junyeong first and since I'm that one cheesy girl, he loved (AYE LOVE'S A BIG WORD) her first so he should be the one- (yas the cliche)
SEOJUN -> I honestly almost hated (well, disliked I guess, hate is a strong word :) Seojun at the beginning, he was a jerk, but he definitely goes through character development and is a great boyfriend to Junyeong for the most part. He's caring and all, but I just think he's kind of idk- I'm aware Suho isn't that different from most characters, but Seojun is just... ?? (I can't explain-) I think maybe I'm just too much on Suho's team that I can't come up with reasons against Seojun TvT. But with all honestly, Seojun is a good dude and he's tried so hard for Junyeong and she definitely needs to continue giving his the chance he deserves with her. Seojun has gone through a lot as well, like his financial problems and Seyeon's suicide (Suho also went through).
Other Stuff This is a webtoon, so I'm not sure why I'm trying to analyze it so much- Anyways, AGAIN I LOVEEE this series and it deserves all the attention it can get. Highly recommend for people new to Webtoons and who enjoy the romance genre generally.
AH this webtoon was extremely addictive. Like, I got through 128 episodes in less than 24 hours AHH. Anyways, the art is really good, but the plot is ....shallow and tbh is there really any plot?
I also feel like this webtoon can be a bit triggering as it dicusses a lot of beauty standards and can easily incluence one's self-image. I was influenced where I sometimes wished to have, for instance, double eyelids. Usually, I don't have much problems with my self-image and appearance. But this webtoon takes WAY TOO LONG to send the message of what true beauty really is, and readers can be affected by how the themes are presented here. So far, the main character haven't realised that beauty is not the most important thing in the world.
Honestly, I just wanted to read the webtoon before watching the kdrama. So yeah.
I am absolutely enjoying this one. Read all the chapters till date and trust me guys you should not miss this one too. It's about this girl who loves makeup and has been putting on makeup to hide her natural face, which she feels is ugly looking. Then comes 2 guys, SUHO LEE and SEOJUN. Both of them handsome and good looking. See how the story revolves around these three. The art and graphics of this story are impressive. I absolutely enjoyed reading this because of the HD quality drawing and the illustrations are quite impressive.
Okay the first volume is pretty good. Though you may find the characters a bit shallow. But i think the webtoon is realistic. We all want to be pretty, jugyeong just took a long way..
I dont like sujin i think she is connected to suho and is jealous of jugyeong...
I have assumptions that sujin is suho's sis.... 😳😳
True Beauty is my favorite kdrama and I can only rewatch it so many times lol so I wanted to check out the webtoon and now that its being published physically, I'm so excited to read it! This first volume was great - I'm shocked at how perfectly the drama followed this already
Me encanta el humor y cómo se va desarrollando la trama, es excelente. Y ver que mantienen varias cosas del cómic en la serie es un excelente servicio.
