She Was Pretty is ur typical kdrama rom-com. The comedy aspect of this drama is hilarious! This drama does the comedy very well, this is a true 'laugh-out-loud' drama. The romance part is sweet, but the chemistry between the actors is just lacking. This drama focuses on a woman named Kim Hye Jin who used to be beautiful when she was younger, but grew up to be ugly. I really loved the fact tht Hye Jin had a beautiful personality even when she was younger and more beautiful. She's just a good person, and remains tht way throughout the drama. When she was younger, she befriended this fat ugly kid named Seong Jun who was her neighbor, and he ended up becoming her first love. This is where my first issue/complaint comes into play. Well, it's not so much as an issue/complaint, I don't know wat to really call it, my distaste of the 'romance' between the younger versions of Hye Jin and Seong Jun. I just didn't buy it. Idk, I just thought the whole pretense for their initial friendship/romance was pretty lame. But w/e, Hye Jin was a sweetie pie throughout the whole thing. As time passes, Hye Jin and Seong Jun lose touch with each other. The last time Seong Jun saw Hye Jin was when she was pretty. So when Seong Jun finally gets in touch with Hye Jin and wants to meet up, Hye Jin is nervous about what he'll think of her because he doesn't know tht she's ugly now. So she gets her best friend, Min Ha Ri (who i love), to pretend to be her to meet him. Ands thts basically the premise. The story focuses on friendships, inner-struggles, and workplace drama. It's really fun! But the romantic chemistry between the characters/actors is really lacking. Especially between Seong Jun and Ha Ri, uggghhh those scenes were the most boring of the whole drama. Hye Jin and Kim Shin Hyeok (the second male lead) had zero romantic chemistry, and I was annoyed tht the drama chose to make Shin Hyeok like Hye Jin in the first place. They had excellent friendship chemistry, but no to the romance. And lastly, the chemistry between adult versions of Hye Jin and Seong Jun was non-existent. I mean, their scenes didn't make me cringe or anything like tht, but i didn't really care about they're romance in the scheme of things. The friendships were the best in this drama, and everyone did have chemistry with each other, just not romantic chemistry. All in all, this was a really fun drama to watch (and it's ttly marathon-worthy)! You'll have several laughs, and some of the moments throughout are genuinely sweet. Do I think it's a must-see? No. But its a good rom-com and it's not a bad watch. I liked it, maybe u will too!
