The webtoon turned Kdrama True Beauty has undoubtedly secured a permanent spot in our top favorite Kdrama list. The teen romantic comedy does not lack in any aspect; be it humor, good-looking people, or an intriguing storyline. This Kdrama made our good boy vs bad boy dreams come true. Additionally, True Beauty has also received multiple awards. So without further ado, let us tell you all that you need to know about where to watch True Beauty.

What is True Beauty about?

Adapted from the widely popular webtoon ‘Yeoshingangrim’, the Kdrama is an all-kill. It sheds light on the rampant bullying situation in South Korea and the unrealistic beauty standards. And while it does shed light on these issues, True Beauty is a romantic comedy at its fullest. So if you go in thinking that it will throw a tight slap at the unrealistic beauty standards set up by Korean society, then you will be disappointed. However, if you are looking for a fluffy Kdrama with a lot of family banter and good-looking people, True Beauty is the one for you.

The plot revolves around Lim Ju Gyeong. She is a high school student who gets bullied because of her looks. Lim Ju Gyeong decides to transfer to a new high school. Furthermore, she also discovers the power of makeup and transforms herself. At her new school, she becomes popular as the Goddess because of her beauty.

The fun begins to kick in when the “good boy” and “bad boy” of the school start showing interest in her. Additionally, True Beauty has the most exciting love triangle. Han Seo Jun’s badass personality with Lee Su Ho’s angel-like one will have you hooked every single second. Just like Lim Ju Gyeong, you too will be on the tip of your toes wondering if her identity is going to be exposed.

The star-studded cast of True Beauty

The intriguing screenplay by Lee Shi Eun (Top Star Yoo Baek) and the star-studded cast of True Beauty make the Kdrama truly special. The main cast of True Beauty includes Cha Eun Woo from the famous Kpop boy group ASTRO. He plays the role of the tsundere A-grade student, Lee Su Ho. He plays the most important role in Lim Ju Gyeong’s journey of loving herself. Furthermore, fans of the Kdrama world will thank True Beauty for generations to come for blessing us with Hwang In Yeop.

Although this is not his first Kdrama, Hwang In Yeop’s portrayal of Han Seo Jun as the school’s troublemaker is what shot him to popularity. He is your typical high school bad boy with a soft spot for the female lead. The most important role, however, is Moon Ga Young as Lim Joo Gyung. Moon Ga Young captured the true essence of what it means to be a confused and scared high school student. Or should we say, she ATE up the role! Another female character in True Beauty that was our girl crush for weeks is Kang Soo Jin.

The character is brilliantly portrayed by Park Yoo Na. True Beauty and its iconic cast will forever stay in our heads rent-free.

Where to watch True Beauty?

It is almost impossible to go through the Kdrama section of social media without watching a clip of True Beauty. The ‘okey dokey’ dance of Hwang In Yeop in his cheetah shorts is plastered almost everywhere and does not fail to make us laugh.

From the storyline down to the cinematography and the heart-touching OST, True Beauty ticks all the right boxes. Moreover, this Kdrama was directed by Kim Sang Hyub, who is known for his work in Melancholia, Extraordinary You, and Glamorous Temptation. The series consists of a total of sixteen episodes. It premiered on tvN in December of 2021, and the broadcasting rights were obtained by Rakuten Viki.

You will need to purchase the minimum subscription to watch True Beauty online. The Kdrama is also available on Viu in more than twelve different languages. However, you cannot stream True Beauty on Netflix as of now. But with how the OTT Mughal is adding kdramas to its already versatile catalog, it won’t be a far fetch to expect it to add True Beauty to its list as well.

Maybe not True Beauty, but Netflix has the most swoon-worthy kdramas; here is a list. Have you streamed True Beauty? Let us know in the comments.
