Is My ID Is Gangnam Beauty worth watching?

Yes — My ID Is Gangnam Beauty earns a 67% Celluloid Score. Recommended, created by Choi Soo-young and streaming on Netflix, Kocowa.

Celluloid Verdict

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.

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.

My ID Is Gangnam Beauty (2018) Review: Beyond the Makeover

My ID Is Gangnam Beauty is a 16-episode Korean campus rom-com about a student judged for her plastic surgery, lighter than its themes but sharper than its logline.

Mostly yes. It suits viewers who like gentle campus romance with a social edge, as long as they can accept a thin love story and a tidy, soft-focus finish.
