True Beauty

여신강림 ‧ Drama ‧ 2020 - 2021
It is very similar and has a similar plot. I think if you enjoyed either you should watch the other.

There's also a cute love triangle involved (also similar to cute/smart guy + bad boy) that I believe makes it very similar to this show :)

- FL being bullied and insecure with her looks and found confident through make ups.
- stoic ML but actually a cutie ball when around FL
- 2nd ML are persistent and actually a good friend to the leads

Both takes place in school.
Both has a love triangle
Female lead getting bullied, family issues, popular male leads, friendship, rom-com
The male lead is also from a kpop group called EXO
Recommended by Yumi
Both shows about female leads who are insecure about their looks but the male leads help them to be more self confident:
-In true beauty the female lead has a problem with her appearance, so she put makeup to be accepted in society.
-In weightlifting, the female lead thinks that she lost her femininity by lifting barbells.
In both main male leads have dark secrets past but are nice.
Both include love triangle, friendship and college/school theme.

So True Beauty Didn’t End Yet but I’m writing this with my knowledge on the webtoon and I’ve watched accidentally in love before [THIS INCLUDES LOTS OF SPOILERS]
Here’s how it’s similar-
~Both Dramas The Male Lead is Admired by others and is very handsome.
~ Both Dramas The Female Lead go through a change
~ Both Dramas The Male Lead falls for the “ugly” side of the girl.
~ Both Drama The Second Male Lead is The Male Lead’s Friend or Ex-friend
~ Both Drama The ML and The SFL is an old family friend.
~ Both Dramas the ML is an Idol or was an idol trainee.
~ Both Dramas are High School/College related.
~ Both are Comedy and Quirky type of shows.
And here’s the difference-
~ AIL’s ML is more outgoing and fun while TB’s ML is more of an introvert and likes to be alone.
~ AIL’s FL tries to become uglier while TB’s FL tries to become prettier.

Same concept of "ugly female lead"
Both the ML are really pretty
True beauty is 16 ep drama while Queen of the ring is a 6 ep drama with 30 min each
Really enjoyed both the drama

Like School 2021, True Beauty is a school-based Kdrama.

In True Beauty, there is two boys:
Gong Ki Joon, reminds me of Lee Suho; Although he's not rich and a smart student; but I feel they are similar.
Also, Jung Young Joo reminds me of Han Seo Jun; because like Han Seo Jun, Jung Young Joo is a bad boy with a motorcycle :)

In School 2021, like True Beauty, Jung Young Joo, and Gong Ki Joon were best friends in past and now they are enemies; because of the death of their other friend.

Until now, School 2021 wasn't about beauty problems; but I think we're supposed to have a Love Triangle!

If you haven't watched the phenomenal OG of all the love-triangle stories in the existence of k-drama history, then what are ya waiting for? xD
- Follows the story of the rich guy and poor girl (and somewhat poor girl in TB)
- Has the most precious, selfless, and heartwarming second male lead that you will fall in love
with
- Complicated love-triangle stories
- Strong and hardworking female leads, but can be vulnerable at times
- Beautiful messages portrayed in both
- TB is like a modern and somewhat more realistic version of BOF
- Both have good comedic value
Although BOF is 12 years old, it still is a good drama to go back to and watch every now and then. The start for it all

Kinda reminds me of true beauty bc of how colorful and rich the school looks??? Love triangle and also the main charecters are both very pretty ( in true beauty she's considered pretty due to her makeup though)

No cross dressing is involved at all in True Beauty but both have the messaging of the power of a woman’s beauty— and what bridges it— makeup :) both very cute and lighthearted
Recommended by Jones
The female lead in both the dramas suffer from inferiority complex about their appearance. The male lead falls first both in mask girl and true beauty:)

- FL transferred from another school (she had an ugly past) and becomes famous in her new school for her beauty because she transformed herself.
- Cold outside but warm inside ML
- Both ML are idol actors
Recommended by deobimars
Very similar synopsis. College romance around a girl that has a visual transformation and a guy that sees beneath the superficial.
