True Beauty - K-drama review

"Someone once told me that crying is a way to cleanse your heart. I'm just saying. It's alright to cry sometimes. You don't have to pretend to be okay."

True Beauty K-drama is an adaptation of a Webtoon series.

Before even starting I want to tell you that since 2020 I didn't recover from that second lead syndrome. 

And I am still convinced that Joo Gyung should end up with SeoJun.

No, it's not because Hwang In Youp is one of my favorite K-drama actors that deserves more main lead roles, it's because he was the friend, the support, and everything Joo Gyung needed.




I am not saying Suho wasn't good to her but... Ugh, watch you will understand what I am saying. And let me know if you are 

TEAM SUHO (Cha Eun Woo) or TEAM SEOJUN (Hang In Youp)

Even though I wanted Joo Gyung to end up with Seojun, Suho's story still breaks my heart.
The guilt he felt for not answering his friend's phone call before committing suicide was the most heartbreaking thing ever. 

Losing a friend to suicide is one of the most difficult things anyone can go through.

This scene was at the beginning of the episode one and I can recall how much I cried.

I will leave it to you to discover the whole story, but I will highlight the things that touched me the most and the most sensitive subject that most of our teens are going through.

One of the major issues addressed in this K-drama is bullying.

"Guys please, my beloved readers, my fans... everyone! if you are going through bullying seek help."

What made me mad the most at Suho was how he disappeared and traveled overseas. He came back without any explanation and the only person who was there for her was Seojun, and despite all that, she chose Suho.

Anyway, I don't hate Suho, all that matters is that she finally got what she wants and it's not that Suho won't treat her well but you know me and my second lead syndrome.


But I am happy that although Sejun didn't get the girl, he followed his dream and became an idol and that's what mattered the most to me.

That was the real happy ending for me. 

Despite the fact that his tears during the series finale broke my heart.


#STOP BULLYING

So many bad reviews about True Beauty, and so many people who really loved it. I don't mind if they don't like it. But there was one review that I hated the most and it was: "I don't understand why people love this drama."

Well, it's your opinion that you didn't like it, 

but you don't have to understand why we liked it. Everyone is entitled to their opinion :) and there is no right and wrong in this. What I know is that this K-drama has a message that we all need to hear.

And that beauty standards are not so standard and some people really like girls like Joo Gyung look how both Suho and Sejun loved her even more without the makeup she used to put on to cover her face.


Soo Jin is the friend we all need in our life. I have her she's my manager and my best friend, and I hope you will find one like her too.
