Aiming to present a timely romance story tackling self-esteem, True Beauty preps to sail.
Promising a visual treat, True Beauty confirmed its lead cast to be Moon Ga Young, Cha Eun Woo and Hwang In Yeop. The three actors are set to bring colors to their vibrantly painted manhwa counterparts.
The Story Sketch
Based on popular webtoon 여신강림 by 야옹이; True Beauty tells the story of a timid comic book fan who stumbles on the art of make-up. Transforming herself to a head-turner, her social media presence also sky-rocketed being tagged as the school’s prettiest girl. Keeping her “real self” secret is hard though, especially since there’s a cute guy she likes.
The Lead Cast
Fresh off from her adorable role in Find Me in Your Memory, Moon Ga Young takes the role of Im Ju-gyeong, the focal character in True Beauty. Since her makeover, she regained her self-esteem after struggling with appearance complex.
The actress has received favorable reviews for her character immersion and knows how to power emotional and comic scenes as seen in Tempted and Welcome to Waikiki 2. So, her role as bubbly Ju-gyeong, universally acknowledged goddess, is one that fit her acting arsenal well.
Interestingly, Cha Eun Woo on his new role as Lee Su-ho reminds us of My ID is Gangnam Beauty. But, who cares? We like that he is an advocate of seeing “inner beauty”, and falling in love in the process.
Playing the role of Han Seo-jun is Hwang In Hyeop, who made quite a lingering impression from his role in Tale of Nokdu. His early character sketch hints a rebellious side with a healthy and strong body.
Rounding up the main cast is Yoona Park who is keen to epitomize the role of a girl crush.
True Beauty eyes broadcast date in the second half of 2021 via tvN.
