I really liked the plot, which I feel sent a very meaningful message to viewers, and caused me to become reflective as well. The main reason why I thought this drama was good is because of its message and story that it tells. Though some felt that Cha Eunwoo's acting was bad, I personally feel that he was just portraying his character's stoic and rigid personality, and it is not that he is unable to express emotions. Kang Mi Rae grew on me as well, even though I did not particularly like her at the start, the actress did a good job at portraying her character as well, and it allowed me to become understanding of her character. I also think that the other actors did good jobs as well.
TLDR, I'd recommend this drama mainly because the plot is meaningful, but also because the acting is good.

Im Sohyung's play was really not weak!

Im Sohyung's play was really not weak!
Meera was a girl who suffered from severe lack of self confidence and this was completely understandable.
Mirae's self confidence and character were eaten and humiliated in all the years of his life! You didn't expect that would be sociable after the beauty procedure and start talking and laughing with everyone?
Like many of us, she has built a safe fence around herself and placed herself behind it. she is afraid of being judged. Mirae was only nineteen years old and her only lifelong friend was Hyun Joong. Now she has entered a bigger environment with a new character and her dark past has caused her to behave strangely. easy to trust, hesitate to defend her right and be polite in public. In difficult situations, he would leave the group and hide behind his safe fence.
We saw the growth of Mirae's character during the series. At the end of the series, Mirae had more social experiences.she did not run away from her problems and her self confidence had increased.
This is a correct evolution of personality.
Im Soohyung portrayed this evolution very well and it was tangible for me.
Please don't look so shallow

Light-hearted and fun drama

To be honest, I am surprised at how much I enjoyed this series. It did take me over a year to finish (just took a break from watching kdramas at all) but I'm really glad I continued watching. Though the story isn't something very grand or complicated, it's really enjoyable to watch. It contains some serious themes surrounding appearance, (self-)love, friendship, etc. without diving too deep into them, which makes it very light-hearted overall. Before this I had just finished watching World of the Married which often left me feeling very upset regarding the heavy topics it discusses, so if you're looking for something that does the opposite I really recommend watching My ID is Gangnam Beauty.
The acting is good, nothing really outstanding but the actors are capable of making everything seem very believable. However, I kept in mind that this story is based on a webtoon so this results in the story and characters seeming a bit unrealistic/cartoonish at times (especially their obsession with looks and their ridiculous reactions where you'll just laugh at how silly it is).
I however LOVE LOVE the OST. It's so dreamy and it's one of those osts that doesn't make you feel annoyed any time it repeats.
I also consider this drama having quite a good rewatch value. Though the story is calmly paced, I can imagine putting this on on a rainy day and watching it with my bf.

I thought this drama was excellent. Although the main character is a girl that got plastic surgery, the drama addresses issues about beauty and prejudice.

The plot is very interesting. The main couple is very cute together. They are so shy and awkward. You will definitely find yourself shipping them together. Aside from their love story, there are several other pots going on at the same time. There is a more sinister storyline with the character Soo Ah.

I think the characters were perfectly cast. I loved Im Soo Hyang and Cha Eun Woo as Kang Mi Rae and Do Kyung Suk. It was my first time seeing them in a drama. I will definitely check out their other work. Cha Eun Woo did a great job of acting as the aloof yet shy Do Kyung Suk. Im Soo Hyang really portrayed the heartache of being bullied from a young age. I did find myself crying during some scenes while watching this drama. If I cry during a drama then I will consider it good.

The music in this drama is so good. If you listen to K-pop then you will like the music in this drama. Artists that you can hear in this drama include MOMOLAND, HEIZE, BLACKPINK, EXO and BTS. The playlist is really catchy and I have already downloaded on Spotify.

I would definitely rewatch this drama. The main couple is so cute together, the other characters are not so annoying that you can't stand them, and the plot is very interesting. I would recommend this drama if you like school/college- based dramas like Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo.

Everything about this drama captivated me. From the story to the characters. This drama did a very good job expressing the complex emotions of outward beauty that run our species. Everything about it was really well done.

The main leads were phenomenal. Every second the actress playing Mi Rae was on the screen, me heart melted. She was perfect for this role. Her whole appearance shouts sexy, but her character is not that. She is a shy, adorable girl. This alone is a great way to express one of the major themes of the drama, that appearances aren't always related to who that person is.

It's essentially taking the theme of Frankenstein, but adding a new twist to it. Instead of the monster being killed, what would of happened if he suddenly became beautiful? He would be the same person on the inside, but no longer shunned. How would that play out?

This drama is one of me top 3 favorite dramas right now. I still randomly think about it to this day.

I highly recommend this drama.

To be honest, I didn't have particularly high expectations going into this drama and was pleasantly surprised. It's possible that my rating is a bit higher than it deserves because it was so much better than what I was expecting. I did enjoy it, though some of it was pretty rough around the edges story-wise. It was an interesting conceit: Young woman who grew up being teased for being ugly fixes the outside, but still has all the same insecurities and problems on the inside that she had before the surgery. Therefore, she has no coping skills/mechanisms for her new life as someone pretty enough to garner regular attention just for her looks. The story kept /almost/ introducing plots and then abandoning them very quickly, like they were afraid to full commit. Poor Cha Eun Woo. So much flat effect. I was not particularly familiar with him prior to this show but having seen him on promotions in some variety shows, I feel like the choices to make his character so flat effect don't really give him any time to shine here.

Boring but I had fun

It was boring at times but generally entertaining. I think it gave a good message but I hated the part where the male lead was legit bragging about "not liking pretty girls" and flat out called the female lead ugly. That is not a flex?? It was a simple problem that could've been fixed with him saying, "You are beautiful to me. You just aren't the beauty standard." Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. the villian was extremely interesting and the actress portrayed her very well, I wanted to punch her and comfort her at the same time. I also liked how it was a turned into a revenge fantasy against self entitled nice guys every women has to deal with. Overall it was boring though, it got too mundane at times that I watched some parts by speeding up, so no rewatch value. The selling point is the message it gives and the lovely cast.

I was hooked to this drama by episode 3/4. I waited impatiently every friday and saturday night for the subs. This is a nice, easy to watch drama. That’s not to say that it’s all fluff, the drama is about more than just the central romance. It tackles issues such as body image, self confidence, gender inequality and different forms of abuse.

The pacing was good, the story didn’t drag. The acting was good, the lead actors really embodied their characters and they had chemistry.

The second female lead character was mean, self-centered and two-faced. It got very annoying how much she tried to interfere with the main couple. She had some serious issues. They do give some background at the end as to why she acts that way but while I did pity her a little I didn’t sympathise with her as much as I think the writers wanted me to.
It was refreshing though how the male lead saw right through her and didn’t buy her fake nice act.

A drama that I think was created by the writers to really make the audience think about what we think about beauty and how we treat people who we think have it, and how we treat those people who we think do not have it. The characters in this drama really speak. Mi Rae gives insight into the deep pain and hurt of those who have suffered rejection, abuse, and torment from the prejudice and cruel behaviors of ignorant people who reign down hateful comments and behavior on people who look very different from others. The character of Do Kyung Seok is the exemplar of what a true friend is and how a boy can love a girl completely, honorably, and benevolently and not just because of her looks. Do Kyung Seok is the hope that we should all have in regards to what true love should be and how it should behave. Soo Ah shows us how the pursuit of beauty can go badly wrong and can cause self-infliction as well as social drama by employing undermining behaviors on others to maintain high status among peers. The drama does a good job in showing just how ugly, demeaning, and disgusting it looks to objectify women as only sex objects. Finally, I think the writers delivered an overarching message that seeking only to be beautiful on the outside is superficial compared to being healthy and well on the inside. Do Kyung Seok, Soo Ah, and Mi Rae were the three most beautiful characters in this story in regards to their physical appearance, yet they are the ones that had the most issues in regards to their own happiness and health----more so than any of their peers.
Due to the complexity of the topic and the many messages that I think the writers were trying to convey, the drama has a very slow start for those who are looking strictly for a good romance story; however by the half-way point of the series, the romance part of the drama kicks into high gear and I binged watched the last 8 episodes. This is a drama that has a satisfying ending and a great message.

I want to take a moment to say how proud I am of Im Soo Hyang who I first saw in the drama "Five Children". I loved her role in that series and I thought she was a wonderful young actress who I felt would only get better as she would eventually receive bigger and more complex roles. She did not disappoint in her performance as a female lead in a K Drama and I will continue to follow her career. Finally, I would like to say how much I loved the actors who played the parents for the character Mi Rae; they were realistic in their emotions for each other and for their daughter and so loving with each other and funny together. I also have to give a standing ovation to Park Joo Mi who played the mother of the character Do Kyung Seok. What a great performance she delivered. Her character was someone who truly exemplified beauty both outwardly and inwardly. Her character would also be the best example of someone to emulate in life because she became successful through hard work, determination, and keeping her values and integrity intact. She managed to find her success and regain the trust of her children in spite of the many obstacles, scars, disappointments and regrets that she faced.
If you can get through the beginning episodes spent on laying a foundation for the multitude of messages and stories lines that needed to be developed, then I think you will enjoy the second half and the ending. At the end you will have an overall feeling of contentment and gratification for having watched the show.

AHHH! Where do I start? Firstly, I enjoyed watching this drama immensely and would and will rewatch it. I definitely recommend to any and everyone, as well! <3

>>>>>Story<<<<<
The plot to "My ID is Gangnam Beauty" was one that I never really saw before. I've seen dramas with plastic surgery, but not like this. When I first read the synopsis to the show, I thought it would be a shallow show about good looks, but I couldn't have been more wrong. Yes, the plastic surgery played a major role in the show and how the characters developed, but not in a negative way. And there was so much more! It's a story about loving yourself before you can love someone else, or before you can even believe that another person can love you. It's truly beautiful. And personally, it hit home for me. I have incredibly low self esteem and hate the way I look and weigh, which just made me love this show and the message it carries even more! My ID is Gangnam Beauty is a story that will make you cry hard enough for people to think your strange, laugh hard enough to be yelled at by the other people in your house, and smile hard enough to make you look like a complete idiot.

>>>>>Acting/Cast<<<<<
I fell for these characters SO HARD! From the very first episode I was already in love. I just have to say Cha Eun Woo, who plays Do Kyung Suk, the main male lead, is THE most adorable human being. His smile is one that you cannot help but smile back at. This drama had me smiling like an idiot to myself so many times! Not to mention Kyung Suk played the perfect boyfriend as girl could only imagine in her dreams. Not only was he handsome and kind, but he never had a shallow moment. He didn't care about looks at all, which, to me, meant so much! In addition to that, the other actors and actresses were great, as well. I really loved Kyung Suk's mom! I thought she was exactly the type of mother character that should be in every drama. Every Korean drama fan should know the typical "your not good enough for my son/daughter" type of parent, but she was the complete opposite; she was loving, kind, funny, and an all-round good person. I also really enjoyed seeing Kwak Dong Yeon in another drama. He was amazing as always! The combination of him and Eun Woo was SO MUCH for my heart to handle! The bromance was great there, as well. This drama has characters you will love and characters you will absolutely despise, but in the end, when you finish the show, your not left with strong negative feelings; which is something you don't see much (at least I don't). It might just be me, but when I watch these shows, I WATCH these shows! I get so invested in the characters and hate the bad guys, which was also the case for this one. But the difference is, the main antagonist had her reasons for being the way she was and acting the way she did. I'm not saying I loved her character by the end, but I didn't hate her anymore. But there was one character who I found incredibly disgusting and annoying throughout the entire show, that didn't change at all, but I don't have any terrible feelings towards the show because of him.

>>>>>Music<<<<<
I enjoyed listening to the music while it played, but they weren't the type of songs that got stuck in my head. They were really nice songs, but not the kind that I downloaded on Spotify. They definitely fit the show and the scenes very nicely, though.

>>>>>Rewatch Value<<<<<
Would I watch this show again? 100%!!! This show was so good that I actually started it, put in on hold, waited for more episodes, then finished it. That might seem like I had the opposite feelings towards it, but that's SO not the case! Personally, I easily get obsessed with shows before they are completed, then, after having to wait so long for the rest of the episodes, just never go back to watch them. This show was good enough for me NOT to do that! I've dropped so many shows I rated a 10 because I do this. Not only that, but this is a Rom-Com type of show, which I usually get sick of and drop eventually, or it takes me forever to finish. Anyhow, I recommend and love this drama completely! <3

I just finished this show last night so I wanted to write a review, and I will say I am in the middle on this one, it's not the best drama but I it was good and it grew on me. By the end I liked it a lot more than in the middle. I am trying to review this well but not give anything away. It did start off pretty strong with her past and also with fun points like her dancing. The theme of the drama about overcoming bullying and about dealing with the good and the bad points of plastic surgery were really handled very well and were one of the strongest points of this show. So it's more meaningful than some rom-coms. I really liked Mi Rae's relationship with her parents and also with CEO Na. The details on Mi Rae's past and her previous interaction with CEO Na were important. I liked also how she worked to improve her relationship with her Dad and also improve Kyung Suk's relationship. I liked their friendship and more and the fact than Kyung Suk did not give up on her. Also they did not give up on people who could have become enemies either and I liked that a lot. Soo Ah's character also had more depth than I thought at first. I also liked the realistic friendship between the girls and the other girls both being catty but then also being caring. They were not cardboard figures. I liked Mi Rae's character a lot even though I was frustrated at her caring so much about what other's thought I also totally understand that part of her. Kyung Suk's character is cold but you could see his subtle emotions and I really grew to like him. Overall this drama lags a little in the middle but it delivers at the end and leaves you with good feels.

It was lacking in a lot of aspects

Not sure if it was on purpose but the acting of the lead girl was weird. I wish they got someone younger since she stood out way too much but I guess that was part of what made it obvious that she got things done.

I also find it funny that it was obviously based on a webtoon since all webtoon turned drama stories have the same vibe. One part of the story kept me hooked tho. I kept trying to figure out why she was the way she was but I felt like they didn't give enough answers before the show ended.

I wish they did something more with the ending.
