True Beauty

여신강림 ‧ Drama ‧ 2020 - 2021
8.5 W (2016)
Both are about webtoons

W is about the FL going into the webtoon and then meeting the ML whilst True Beauty is a webtoon itself.

Both have bright cinematography and are fairly light romcoms

Both involve MLs that are quite stoic at first

The two main characters share a similar story, as they had been bullied and then they transfer schools to become popular.

Both are high school romcoms with an unconventional feel and good cinematography. Both feature love triangles with a quirky female lead.

I haven’t watched True Ending yet but just from watching the trailer, I realized they were kinda similar. The concept is a high school girl that upset about her looks, so they get a makeover.

the plot surrounding the main leads is almost identical. The love triangle, the high production quality, the excellent actors are all similarities as well.

Both were webtoons first. Both have bright cinematography and are light hearted

Both are funny and have romance. True Beauty is more focused on romance though.

Both have elements of high school, although True Beauty is set in a high school whereas it's a side plot in Backstreet Rookie

The ML in Backstreet Rookie is much nicer to the FL than the ML in True Beauty is to the FL.

Both have funny side characters

Both show sibling relationships and friendships
