Hello, hello!

How is everybody doing? I hope you are all great! :)

I am so excited that I'm finally opening my blog. I wrote my intro like a month ago, but I was afraid to publish it. However, I have a very nice friend who encouraged me so, here I am. After giving a lot of thoughts about what I should talk about in my first post I decided to choose one of the newest k-dramas: 'True Beauty'. So, let’s start...

'True Beauty' for anyone who does not know it, is based on the webtoon with the same name created by Yaongyi that, by the way, if you haven’t seen the author... OMG! Prepare to be shocked because it looks just like the main character and we love it.

I totally encourage you to read the webtoon because it is also really good. Now, let's make a brief summary about the show:

Okay, so, for those who haven't seen the drama or read the webtoon. Basically, the story unfolds around Im Jugyeong, a girl who despite having a fun personality and being super cute and attentive to others, does not feel confident because everyone has told her that she is ugly because she does not have a "natural beauty" look but, all that changes when she discovers what she can do with a little makeup; from there she goes from being "ugly" to being a goddess everyone loves.

However, even though she is not considered pretty barefaced, there are people who think otherwise and will soon make her life change, among them are Lee Suho and Han Seojun. Two very handsome guys who have a slightly complicated friendship. Not only because of their past but because, as in all good k-drama, they fall in love with the same girl.

What's going to happen to them? Will they be able to become friends again? Or will love to stand in the way of their friendship? I could tell you more things, but if I do, I'd be spoiling too much, and we don’t want that hehe.

As I said there is the webtoon but, in this post we will talk more about the drama. This means it's also important to mention Kang Sujin, who at first is a friend of Jugyeong’s and everything is great but when Sujin discovers that Jugyeong is dating the guy she likes, she brings out her true colors and that's when things get intense and juicy.

I must admit that when I saw the first episode, I kept comparing it to the webtoon, but little by little it stops you from caring because of course, as it is an adaptation, not everything is going to be the same and although we always have that fear that the original idea will be ruined, this drama is not the case.

I don't think we could have asked for a better cast. All the actors look like they're off the webtoon. I mean, you see them, and you get in shock(imnida) because they same as the drawings.

Despite not being exactly the same story as in the webtoon, they knew how to adapt it in such a way that you fall in love with all the characters again. And I don't know what this drama has but in general like when you watch a drama you gradually start leaning to a fave ship, but with this one, it is definitely a hard decision. I’ve seen that just like me, a lot of people have trouble deciding whether they're team Suho or team Seojun. I honestly can’t decide so, I'm part of both teams lol.

This drama has many things that make you love it one way or another. It made me laugh, get angry and cry a lot; I just love it. Also, I don’t know about you, but before I started watching dramas, I always thought that when main characters held hands or kissed it was a super cheesy thing and I wasn’t amused or anything.

But, on the other hand, dramas have something that makes you get excited. We wait and finally after 10 episodes when the main characters hold hands for the first time, we feel happy hehe. I don’t know, I just really love that feeling because it's so much fun!

Last but not least, you tell me what your thoughts are about whether or not a second season would be good. Personally, thanks to this adaptation somehow, I have two "alternative universes" that allowed me to compare what Jugyeong's life would be like dating Suho or Seojun. Because of that, I'd love to have a second season!

Yet, I also know that many people don't want that because they want Hwang In Yeop (aka my boyfriend) to play different roles as a male lead in many more dramas and obviously should as he is super talented. However, since the story technically isn't over on the webtoon it would be interesting to see more of the characters.

If you haven’t seen 'True Beauty', I 100% recommend it, you're going to have the best of times. Also, let's be honest, who can resist Cha Eun Woo, Hwang In Yeop or Mun Ka Young! Let me know what you think of 'True Beauty' and please if someone reads this and wants to talk about a specific group, soloist, or drama, feel free to comment!
