Great plot idea, badly executed.
When i first read about this drama i was very interested, because the plot seemed good. The plot revolving around the beauty standards set for girls was a great idea, and i feel like this show had potential. However, i was very dissapointed after watching this show.First of all; you would think they would try to get the message of whats on the inside is the most important, but youre wrong. Throughout the drama the FL only gets attention because of her looks and not personality. You would think someone who had been ugly her whole life would at least have a good personality, but no. Her personality is literally non-existing. And the fact that the ML fell for her just because she did a weird dance with her feet ONCE is just weird. maybe it made her "not like other girls" that one time, but she never did anything different from the other girls after. she was just as basic and boring.
second of all; the drama just drags on. The plot at the beginning was so interesting. I was excited on where it would go, but it literally wanished after the third episode. After that there was no plot and the drama became predictable. I knew the ML and FL would start dating. And i knew the second FL would become the bad guy.
Third of all; the cast i- The fact that a 30 year old lady is playing a shy 18 year old is just so weird and unfitting. she literally looks so much older than everyone else. Eun woo's character was alright. the only thing i liked about him was his toxic personality lol. i didnt however undertsand the second ML. like okay he liked the FL because of her looks, but why did that make him so passionate about her?
To conclude, i do not recommend watching this drama. It is nothing special, so dont waste 16 hours of your life. i do however recommend checking out one of the songs in this drama called "something"! this song was the only good thing about the drama (:

Main characters have ZERO chemistry
Watching the main characters interact is so awkward. ML is expressionless, FL makes the same suprised/dopey expression after everything ML says. It's not just the bad acting and direction. But the script doesn't make you invested in the outcome of their relationship at all. Every time they interact they are socially awkward around eachother yet they fall for eachother somehow. There is no scenes showing them becoming friends or having fun. Just long drawn out awkard scenes and the same facial expressions.The supporting characters are pretty boring too. And pretty much all the men besides the ML are sexist and superficial.
There is also a bulimic character in the show. And they have product placements for the diet pills she takes. And several characters are shown drinking diet drinks. It's pretty disturbing that they would use a character with a debilitating eating disorder to shill diet pills.
I watched True Beauty a awhile ago it stars the same ML. It has a kinda similar concept except the FL in that show becomes popular after she becomes good at makeup. I think it's also based off a webtoon. Don't bother with this show. If the concept sounds interesting to you, go watch True Beauty instead. It's actually one of my favourite k-dramas. I have no idea how this show has nearly as high of a rating as True Beauty.

Best, most progressive drama I have ever seen
Where do I even start with this? I'm head-over-heels in love with this show. When I read the summary I was really hesitant, because I thought it was going to be very difficult to watch because of the shallow messages and old-fashioned ideas it may send across. Boy, was I wrong! I have not watched a drama this progressive... ever! Not only did it have extremely body-positive messages, it also pointed out harmful many gender stereotypes throughout the series in a very subtle but pointed way. Overall I never felt like the show said that plastic surgery was a bad thing, and many times it was shown in a relatively positive light. What I really enjoyed though was that they never truly showed the female leads (Im Soo Hyun) face before she had the surgery, so they wouldn't be calling any specific facial features ugly.The acting was also phenomenal. I am now completely in love with Cha Eun Woo's character. The kindness he displayed made me swoon! At times the female lead was a bit awkward which, for me, made it a tiny bit uncomfortable, but honestly, thats one of the only criticisms I have of this show.
However, I would 100% watch this drama again, and recommend it to anyone who enjoys a good romance drama! I cannot get over how immensely progressive and beautiful the storyline of this drama is. This is a story not about forgiving others but forgiving yourself. It's a story not only about finding love in others, but about finding it within yourself. I really love that the last line was "who cares? do what you want"

Content:
- Your usual pretty female lead with a sad back story and a reason to be bullied
- Your usual pretty second lead who is secretly on your "kill" list.
- Your usual pretty male lead who is untouchable to all girls except one.
- Scumbag men carelessly hitting on girls and valuing them by looks.
- Bullying.
- family matters
- beauty matters.
-Loads of cute, romantic but cliché moments.
- Average to low level acting.
This show comes at physical contact in a very reserved, awkward and intense kind of way. It will drag out the romance and have it frustrate you until the end. It doesn't go too deep into any serious matters but finishes off with some good messages. I didn't feel touched emotionally in any way so I would say this is a light watch for those who love romance and good looking people with some light conflict and drama.
ENJOY

A Masterpiece that not many can appreciate.
A masterpiece. One of the very few kdramas that does everything right. I can't believe this is so underrated.I mean its understandable because not many can actually understand the concept. Because most of the comments down below are just pointing out those things as boring bad that actually make it more superior than other kdramas.
My one advice to you will be don't watch if you’re a kid. Go and watch True Beauty. That is also a great drama and it is a bit light hearted. And another reason to watch it is HAN SEO JUN!!! Lol
But this is actually made for a bit mature audience because otherwise you won't understand a lot of things. And you should really be accustomed with the Korean culture as well.

Simple mais efficace
Ce n'est pas un drama bourré d'action , tout est dans la psychologie des personnages et le regard des autres . Mi-rae n'a pas eu une enfance facile dut à un physique ingrat et y a remédié en subissant plusieurs opérations esthétique. On comprend bien que l'aspect physique est un personnage à lui seul ici. Tout ne sera pas rose pour elle mais elle a pris de l'assurance et finira par sortir de plus en plus de sa coquille. Gravite autour d'elle different personnages pas tous très reluisant. Ils ont beau être nés avec un physique agréable certains sont vraiment des ingrats et imbus d'eux même .C'est une belle histoire de vie avec un scenario plus approfondi qu'il n'y parait.

OMG just finished watching the last episode of this show. I can't believe it ended. I really loved the two main leads they made a great couple. I liked the ending wish it was longer though 10/10. For those wonder why soo ah is such a mean character you get to find out why she acted the way she is so I would recommend watching it. Through out the drama so ahh character really bothered me but when I found out why I didn't necessary like her still but it still gave you an idea what she went through. besides that I think all the cast did an amazing job and who doesn't love a happy ending!??! lol before I end my review help but talk about how adorable kyung soek is, it's unreal!

Terrible is too high of praise
Watching this, my overwhelming thought was how could a collection of people so absolutely stupid be enrolled in a university. Too many shallow characters, and it seemed like none of them actually took school seriously or studied. The entire show would have been more believable as a story about students in their first year in high school. The best characters by far are Yoo Eun and Oh Hyun Jung - they seemed completely out of place with the rest of this cast, and both actresses deserve high praise for their performances.The description of the show claims that Mi Rae is insecure and begins to regain her lost confidence and discovers true beauty is on the inside. Funny, since while finally in episode 16 one could generously say she began to gain some self-confidence, she absolutely remained self-absorbed and shallow to the very end.. The character who actually grew as a person is, surprisingly, Soo Ah.
Extremely disappointing, True Beauty did this plot so much better

- the mean spiteful girl who causes trouble for the female lead
- the clueless female lead that ruins any potential chance she gets
- she just lets people walk all over her & also causes bs misunderstandings due to lack of communication
- seriously, why is her self confidence so low??
- and then all the family drama DRAMA
Omg I figured out what it reminded me of. It’s just like 'Kimi ni Todoke'!! Only Kazehaya is full of life and personality and Do Kyeong-seok is more brooding and standoffish. But both female leads Sawako and Mi-rae are both just as clueless and continually shoot themselves in the foot. Both are in situations where the feelings between their crushes are mutual and yet both of them choose to hurt their crush for no reason. Both girls have been bullied for their looks as well.
There is also the gorgeous sly ‘mean girl’ who is very cunning and fake and puts on a fake ‘cutesy’ personality to have everybody like her.
The show got slightly better after the couple got together at last. And I will also admit there were things I did like, despite all the cons
- other than the melodrama, was an easy-ish watch
- Kyeong-seok is not getting fooled by Su-a for one second, his eyes scream ‘get her away from me’ and I live for it
- Some funny moments I enjoyed
- Once canon, Kyeong-seok x Mi-rae were cute
On the whole, I’m glad I got to cross this drama off my list.

Actually I'm not into movies or TV Series which are purely love stories. Why? Well, I just don't like it :-). I prefer adventure or fantasy films. And if you are going to ask me why I still watched this TV series spite of its plot? Well, my answer is ASTRO hehehe. :-) The main lead was a member of that KPOP group. I accidentally discovered them and even saw some of their craziness. When I found out that one of them can act, I started to plan watching it. Before doing so I decided to watch the trailer and after watching it I lost the interest of watching it again hahahaha but my friend assured me that it was a good TV series so in the end I ended up watching it and I finished watching it earlier this morning.
And my say to this TV series is...
Well, it was indeed a great TV series. The plot was brilliant. Yes, the story right away started with the plastic surgery scene which was the reason why the main lead became beautiful BUT the whole series did not wish to promote such act. In fact, for me the TV series promotes self confidence and awareness to everyone. Aside from good scenes, priceless acting skills and flawless storylines what made one film great was the lesson that it wanted to impart to all of its viewers. The love scenes were not that bold too. In fact the first kissing scene happened near the end, the reason why I endured watching a series with such theme (love stories).
The acting was great. When I first watched the trailer my remarks was, "the main lead don't have any emotions on his eyes" but my friend told me that he was just playing his role as a cold hearted man. And that made sense to me. I'm also familiar with the second lead. I saw one of his TV series when he was young. I'm not familiar with the main female lead though. I just want to persecute the villain more in this series. Hahahaha sorry but I have a revengeful mind that simply is my nature. :-) She deserved more suffering because of what she has done but I'm fine with how the series ended. :-)
What made this series remarkable really was the MESSAGE. As human beings we tend to judge one person's physical appearance simply because that is the first thing that we can see. What's wrong though is that, we tend to stop knowing them after disliking them physically.
It's a great film. No wonder it became a commercial success in their country. I'll give a 9/10 rating for this series. Watch it too. :-)
