True Beauty (2020)

Hwang In Yeop is in both dramas

Both are about romance and break ups

Both have nice cinematography

Both of the main girls are into makeup and pursue it as a career choice. The two male leads in both of the dramas are friends and end up liking the same girl.

Humorous rpmantic comedy
Slow burn remoance but worth the watch.
ML & FL start to have feelinds for one another.
2nd ML thinks his in love with FL...

The secondary couple of both shows have a similar dynamic, in the sense that there's a role reversal with the Female Character (FL's older sister in True Beauty & ML's older sister in Love With Flaws) being proactively persuing her crush. They are also both successful Female Characters who enjoy being in charge.

True Beauty is a romantic comedy about a high school girl Lim Ju Gyeong, who rises to pretty girl fame after she masters the art of make-up from YouTube. She turns into a goddess because of her makeup skills, but would rather die than reveal her bare face to anyone. It tells her love story with the only boy that saw her without makeup, Lee Su Ho. Lee is an attractive and handsome boy who appears cold because of his dark past but is actually very caring. They grow when they meet each other sharing their secrets and finding love with each other, but can Su Ho make Ju Gyeong find her true beauty?

Same vibes, school setting 2 guys and a girl. A must watch is you liked one of these. A lot of romance in both and many heartfelt moments

Both shows:
> Happen mostly in a high school.
> Have highschooler as leads.
> The FL has a secret they are afraid will be revealed.
> The FL is popular in their school.
> The FL suffered at the hands of school bullies and still carry those scars.
> The ML is the smartest in the school.
> The ML is the silent but caring type who falls in love with the FL first.
> There are secondary couples in both shows.
> FL has a close group of friends.
> The ML has an estrangled relationship with his father.

Both use makeup to promote self confidence rather than vanity.

Makeup transformation, although they were both beautiful either way.

Both based off webtoon/manga

School romance

This is an excellent show that is also a rom-com and has two male leads fighting for the affections of the female lead. It is very hilarious and I highly recommend this.

Similarities:
- Cold-hearted on the outside type of male lead, but soft-hearted for the female lead
- Male lead plays the protective, heroic type of role protecting the female lead from dangers
- Weak female lead in the beginning but you’ll see a character development blooming her into a confident, strong woman
- Both male leads are suffering from some type of trauma

A bullied, unattractive girl is transformed into a beauty queen via make up magic. Similar romantic situations.

If you like "To The Beautiful You" you might like "True Beauty" they're both school drama and they both face the bullying problem even if in the first one it's just mentioned. There's more comedy than drama in both of them and I really enjoyed both shows so much. They're dear to me <3.

Both explore the life of a female lead with an unusual severe skin condission (severe acne/giant scar) on her face and the effort she puts to hide it through make up. She is bullied about it, but finds love even so. Her loved one is somebody she befriended as a child.

Although they hold different settings, the comedic energy in both dramas is quite similar!
Both do an impressive job of showcasing fun, light-hearted comedy that has you cackling at 2am in the night
A romantic storyline begins developing itself in the story as the episodes progress
Has adorable couple moments, and a minute love triangle

If you're looking for a show that has the same comedic energy, and don't mind slightly older actors as well as a slightly mature storyline, I definitely recommend checking it out!
