True Beauty (2020–2021)
6/10
Could've made it better
10 July 2022
I'm a huge fan of the webtoon and was so excited to hear about a live-action series starring EUNWOO. He's always been the most popular fan-cast for Suho and I was so happy when I found out he was cast, although I did think Suho is too similar to his character in My ID is Gangnam Beauty. Even the plot is similar, but the character of Han Seojun made everything better.

I do think some scene are cringey, especially with the editing. Moon Gayoung's acting gets cringey and overacting too, but I think the director/s just wanted her to do something similar to the webtoon version, so it's not really her fault. Inyeop is probably the best in the cast, and his character is also the best among the three mains. Eunwoo also improved from his acting in Gangnam and Rookie Historian, but the lack of range in these 3 shows doesn't give him justice.

The series tackled very serious topics about depression, but it was only used for the love triangle purposes. It saddens me because it's such a pivotal part in Suho and Seojun's friendship. Had it been taken seriously, I would have liked this series better.
