She is Beautiful (2018)

This is a rom-com for more matured audience. It's still funny and romantic to catch audience attention, but at the same time realistic enough to believe. I like the journey the leads fall in love, like the fact that all characters have both good and bad sides, and like the fact that they develop to be better but don't change completely after falling in love (which sadly happens to too many good dramas!). Of course, it's still a drama, so some elements need to be exaggerated. But overall, this is a very well-balanced show. I particularly like the female lead charisma and confidence, especially the way she resolved tricky situations at work and personal life. She did some embarrassing things and faced the consequence confidently (though her inner side is screaming:)). Sometimes her life is a mess and instead of crying in the corner or waiting for her prince, she rises to power. This requires immerse mental strength. If you have been through similar situations you will appreciate how strong this woman is. The male lead is also charismatic and extremely supportive. He is definitely not a knight in a shining armor like in other dramas, but he proves himself to be the best suitor for her.

I usually stay away of the dramas with a lot of episodes; this one with 40, but i am glad i stayed with this one. As with all my dramas, the leads are the best for me. I guess that is true for most people...without interesting leads, why bother.
Even if the supporting characters are not the best, if it has great leads i love it. I dont usually rewatch most dramas, but i will rewatch my favorite lead scenes, and this one had many.
Absolutely love FL. She is both vulnerable and confident. She is truly loved by her family and most of those she works with. Another familiar story of lead being great at their job, but not so great in love.
Not totally sure why the birthmark is such a taboo, i don't know if it is cultural, but in USA i dont think such a pretty successful woman would have such trouble hooking up with a man. I still think she is beautiful even with the mark, but she offers so much more than that, that she is definitely a good catch for any guy.
Loved that the ML never gave up. Really showed how much he truly loved her. Epidode 39 scene where he finally breaks her down and convinces her to be with him is one of the best and emotional scenes in any drama i have seen, and I have probably watched over 100 by now. i rewatch that scene quite a lot.
So, just like most dramas, many of the similar scenes are here, but i have yet to tire of them. Outstanding just for the FL alone and i would recommend.
