Despite my good rating, I didn’t like it all that much
Will be some spoilers!!
I am a bit late to the party. I dropped the Webtoon awhile ago and only recently found out about the drama. I have very mixed feelings toward it.
Characters: what I liked:
To begin, the cast was wonderful. I think they played their parts very well. Especially Eunwoo. At first, I began rolling my eyes at his one dimensional portrayal of this cold and almost tsundere male lead…until…BOOM. You see the reason behind his “indifferent” attitude. The story of his friend’s suicide as well as his family situation is heartbreaking, and the moments where he truly lets out all his guilt and anger were very moving and well done. The side characters were lovable and, for the most part, complimented the drama well.
Characters: what I didn’t like:
Our main heroine is not ugly to begin with. Like, at ALL. We can see that obviously, as she’s a model in real life. Again, she did a great job portraying her character, but my sympathy could only go so far as she was clearly very attractive. Again, all people can absolutely feel self-conscious or be bullied. And again, she did a great job showing the pain that results from it. I guess for me it was just annoying because they tied down her terrible, horrible, “ugliness” to what? Glasses and acne? And yes, bullying totally exists for these…it just felt stretched and could’ve been approached better.
Story: what I liked:
I really enjoyed how there was actual depth to almost every character. They have motivations, dreams, passions, pain. The story was interesting and unique. The cast made it enjoyable enough.
Story: what I didn’t like:
The execution wasn’t the best. That’s why I dropped the Webtoon too. The message is there, but it really is watered down and shallow. It seems like a bubble of really good looking people attempting to appear not good looking, therefore, making actually not very good looking people watching feel awkward.
Music: was okay
Overall:
Don’t watch this drama for the message, as “true beauty” really doesn’t make that much of an appearance. But, it’s a good watch, funny, and the romance is cute. Overall, it’s a solid drama (a lot of my dislikes are nitpicking and more personal annoyances). I do think it is a bit overhyped though.
