Why am I so scared to live with the face that I’ve been given? I really am a loser. – Lim Ju-kyung

FANGIRL FEELS
- It’s a perfect combination of humor, sadness, romance, lovable characters, and everything you’d want in a drama. It will definitely put you in a good mood.
- I really love the sismance and bromance.
- The supporting casts were pretty interesting and funny, definitely gave me a good laugh from time to time.
- Park Yoo Na absolutely aced every aspect of Soo Jin.
- Moon Ga Young nailed her role and did her job wonderfully.
- I like Cha Eun Woo but I couldn’t deny the fact that his acting was not that natural, but I must say that he is getting better in his emotional scenes.
- I love Hwang In Yeop, he’s definitely one of the best second male leads I’ve ever seen. I wish I can have him for myself.
- Overall, the story is nothing new but it keeps entertaining being light-hearted and hilarious. It was so fun and amazing for me and I definitely recommend it especially to rom-com fans.
My Rating – 9.0/10
INSPIRING K-DRAMA QUOTES FROM TRUE BEAUTY
- I was so caught up with how hurt I was, that I didn’t know that you were hurting inside as well. – Han Seo Jun
- If I hate my face just because they say that, I’d be agreeing that I’m a loser. So I’m going to ignore them and live with the face I’m given. – Han Go Woon
- A person who tries everything has no regrets.
- You decide your own worth. – Lim Hee-kyung
- Some of you don’t know… what it is that you really want. And some of you do know, but you’re hesitant. But opportunities come without a warning. And you must be prepared to take advantage of it.
- It must’ve been difficult for you trying to keep the truth hidden. Those who make you feel this way are the losers. So don’t ever think that again, got it? – Kang Soo Jin

True Beauty is one of the Kdramas that I really liked. I super like it that whoever Ju-Kyung picks is okay with me (but more on Seo-Jun’s side. haha)

I’m hooked on K-dramas right now, but this one is not showing on Netflix. I also want to see this for myself.
