Celluloid Verdict
Cheerfully silly and prettily cast, if never as sharp about self-image as its premise promises — Hwang In-youp walks off with a show that otherwise coasts on charm.

What is True Beauty about?
Bullied for her bare face, Lim Ju-gyeong teaches herself makeup from late-night tutorials and transfers schools as a certified campus beauty — carrying the constant terror of being seen without it. Lee Su-ho, the aloof classmate who already knows what she looks like underneath, keeps her secret; Han Seo-jun, the school's supposed delinquent, keeps getting in the way. A featherlight webtoon adaptation about masks, shame and deciding you are enough.

Critic Reviews
True Beauty (2020) Review: Makeup, Masks and Crushes
★★★★☆
True Beauty is a 16-episode K-drama about a bullied teen who reinvents herself with makeup, a charming, prettily cast high school romance that skims its big themes.
Yes, for fans of breezy high school romance and love triangles. It is warm and funny, though its take on beauty standards is lighter than the premise promises.
