Bullied at school because of her plain and dull appearance, Reina stops attending classes. However, a fateful encounter with makeup dramatically changes her life—after starting from zero, learning techniques, and putting in hard work, she undergoes a complete transformation into a goddess who turns heads wherever she goes!
She planns to start a perfect new life at her new school! …Or so she thought. By sheer coincidence, her "top secret" is discovered by Kanda Shun—a cool, mysterious classmate with the top grades in their year. In exchange for keeping her secret, he forces her into an unexpected master-servant relationship!?
As Reina grows closer to Shun, another classmate, Haruka Igarashi—who shares a certain "past" with Shun—also starts to take an interest in her.

>In both dramas the male lead is portrayed by Park Seo Joon , in which he is a cold CEO
> Both dramas are romantic and have beautifully developed characters
>Actors have lovely chemistry
> If you enjoy Rom- Com this is definitely a must watch drama
> Has more witty and adult humor and does not rely on slap stick as much
> Definitely a more grown up / adult drama
> Portrays a very wholesome and somewhat realistic relationship
A comfort drama for me that is filled with lovable and memorable characters and a well written story.

As a young girl, Hye Jin was impossibly cute and lived a comfortable life with her wealthy parents. Since entering her teens, both her looks and fortunes have drastically changed. She currently lives rent-free with a friend and is a part-time clerk at a convenience store. Out-of-the-blue, Sung Joon, her childhood friend, contacts her and suggests they meet. He is unaware that Hye Jin recently spotted him and knows how fit and handsome he had become. Not wanting to disappoint him, she insists her pretty best friend go in her place. What could go wrong?
After landing a full-time job, Hye Jin is surprised to find out that Sung Joon is her boss. To add insult to injury, he is treating her with nothing but disdain and contempt. This is not the friend she fondly remembers, so she goes about hiding her true identity from him.

Time is a woman's enemy. On her 30th birthday, Cheng You Qing received an e-mail from Li Da Ren, her male best friend of 14 years, about the symptoms of premature aging. Unable to bear the fact that, as a man, Li Da Ren is likened to a fine wine that gets better with age and that as a woman, she is likened to a grape that will dry up like a raisin over time, she makes a bet with him to see who will marry first before they turn 35.
As she scouts for a potential husband, she finds that despite whoever she meets, there is always one person whom she can be totally at ease with and who is willing to put up with her independent, ill-tempered and stubborn personality - her best friend, Li Da Ren.
The only problem is that the both of them had already sworn to each other that they would never fall in love with each other.

Both female leads go through appearance changes - although in a little thing called first love the female lead started quiet and not so pretty over time she got prettier and more outspoken and determined because her crush is handsome and smart she felt she had to improve to stand with him. It's a great story of growing up and going after your dreams while becoming a better person in the process :)


They are both office romance dramas.
Leads do have some kind of a connection from the past in both dramas (even tho it's a different type of connection... hm... no spoilers~)
Both are light hearted and cute~
Female lead is that kind of cheerful, cute, a little annoying girl (I didn't like the female lead in Introverted boss but i liked the one in She was pretty)
The male leads... Well, they aren't really similar in any way i think but they still remind me of each other idk why XD

Although completely different shows with different age ranges (college vs adult romance), both kdramas are relatively uncommon for showing healthy relationships; neither relies on push-and-pull tropes in the second half to keep the main couple apart. Both couples lean on each other in order to get through their individual issues without any major communication issues. Both are very heartwarming shows.
