True Beauty background

True Beauty

A troubled teenage girl overcomes bullying and discrimination due to her appearance by transforming into a stunning "goddess." She gains fame rapidly through an online makeup tutorial series.

Lim Ju-kyung, a 18-year-old high school student with an inferiority complex regarding her appearance, has been constantly discriminated against by her family and bullied by her peers due to being perceived as ugly. She starts learning how to use makeup through binge-watching makeup tutorial videos on the Internet. Upon mastering the art just before transferring to a new school, her makeover proves transformative, leading to her quick rise to fame among her peers who call her a "goddess." Despite her newfound popularity, Ju-kyung still considers herself ugly and harbors a fear that her peers will see her real face. This unfortunate reality is brought to light when her handsome classmate Lee Su-ho recognizes her beyond her makeup. Su-ho is popular among female students but often feels the constant attention of his classmates and is seen as aloof and cold. He has a dark secret—due to a tragic incident in the past, he hates being the center of attention. Despite this, he harbors guilt for placing blame on Seo-jun. As Su-ho and Ju-kyung's friendship deepens, they unravel secrets, share their pains, grow together, and seek comfort from each other despite their differences.
