About the show:

True Beauty features among the top 10 most searched Romedies (Romantic Comedy) on internet. What is so special about it? I think people can corelate with this show making it so successful.

Being concious about looks in teen years is quite a common. Being bullied for or being commented because of mediocre looks is also universal phenomenon. Lim Joo Kyung, the female lead of this show is insecure about her looks and gets bullied for her pimply face. So much so that she attempts to commit suicide. Luckily she is saved by Lee Su Ho.

Due to family circumstances, she changes her school. During her vacation, she masters the art of make up and goes to new school as a beautifull girl. Instantly she is hit in her new school and makes many friends. She is always surrounded by admirers. 

Lee Su Ho is handsome and clever but always carries cold and stoic expressions on his face. He has developed misunderstanding with his father and always tries to avoid him.

Han Seo Jun is another handsome but slightly rowdy character in this drama. Su Ho and Seo Jun, once best friends, have now turned into arch enemies.

Why Su Ho was avoiding his father?? Why Su Ho and Seo Jun turned into enemies? Do they ever make up with each other??
Is there love triangle? Is Joo Kyung able to maintain her beauty secret? Most importantly, is she able to accept herself? Is she able to overcome her insecurities?Does she find someone who is able to see her inner beauty? If you want to find answers to  these questions then you must watch this show. 

This drama conveys a very important lesson that beauty lies within. Appearance can't be the measure of true beauty. Love yourself for what you are! Happy watching!!
