Slight and occasionally too tidy, but sharper than its logline suggests — the drama treats plastic surgery as a symptom rather than a punchline, and Im Soo-hyang gives the self-doubt genuine texture.

Celluloid editorial verdict

What is My ID Is Gangnam Beauty about?

Bullied for her face throughout school, a chemistry freshman starts university with surgery behind her and a new label attached: the campus's Gangnam beauty, pretty but assumed fake. A classmate from her middle-school years, blunt and allergic to flattery, is the one person who treats her exactly as he always did. What follows is less a makeover fantasy than a study of how appearance judgements survive the operating table.
