A love triangle longer than my ugly wife makeup routine, with more drama than my last family dinner!
"True Beauty : 8.5/10 – A Glossy, Addictive Mess of Makeup, Meltdowns & Second-Lead Syndrome"
WHY IT’S A GUILTY PLEASURE:
Cha Eun-woo’s visual explosion – Bro looks like he was hand-sculpted by angels (and acts like one too).
The makeup transformation scenes – From "closeted nerd" to "Instagram baddie" in 10 seconds flat.
Hwang In-yeop as Han Seo-jun – The tattooed, motorcycle-riding second lead who stole our souls. (RIP Team Suho.)
THE "GIRL, PLEASE" MOMENTS:
The endless love triangle – Dragged out like a BB cream tutorial.
The evil school bully – So over-the-top, she might as well have twirled a mustache.
That amnesia subplot – K-drama writers, I beg you… stop.
ICONIC SCENES:
The "bare face" reveal – Peak drama, peak second-hand embarrassment.
The rooftop confession – "I knew it was you!" [Cue sobbing].
Every. Single. Seo-jun. Scene. – We were robbed.
VERDICT:
"Like binge-eating cosmetic store samples—questionable choices, but oh-so-fun." Watch if: You live for high school drama, makeup ASMR, and painful love triangles. Skip if: You can’t handle second-lead syndrome or plot holes the size of a contour palette.
