Yeah apparently beautiful ppl have to wear tight clothes, make up and stuff, be an Instagram guru etc. They can only be in cheer, not actually be in sports or like gaming/comics (huge nerd/otaku alert apparently). There is also a stigma like "If u are pretty why the hell are u working a normal job. Be a model or something" It's like they are stealing someone's job or something I am baffled. If a pretty person got a not-for-looks job (Like in modeling, air hostess, concierge and ent industry, u need the looks. That's the requirement and I don't find it wrong. Cause in brainy jobs, u need the brains, not looks. It's not discrimination), everyone assumes they r just looks and got the job for looks. It's sad. The assumption that they never get bullied is also sad.

I read True Beauty beginning to end and like... ⚠️SPOILERS⚠️ The MC goes back and forth with "development" for 200+ chapters and really doesn't truly learn the lesson of loving her true face until the very last few episodes and she doesn't even expose her true face on her own, someone else does it for her. She runs away and then all her celeb friends show their bare faces too so THEN she's okay with it. So she really didn't learn anything the whole comic and other people had to do the courageous thing, not her. If you want a better makeup related comic, The makeup remover is way better with the same theme :')

Yeah I read it and it was heart-warming but I realized that Mr. Han [or whatever his name is, the twin guy that looks like her but male] actually did the development. He was in the same boat (if not worse because he was shamed for even liking makeup due to his gender, pretty sure his family doesn't like it either), and he threw himself under the bus to help her. It made me feel like it was a bit dragged on, especially because she never loves herself how you'd expect her to - like her liking her body over time or liking how she looks. For example, she didn't like how her bare face was yet there was a scene where she slept with Suho...?? Wouldn't her face be a bigger issue to her especially something like that? I don't know, the whole thing was weird but the fact she didn't redeem herself really annoyed me since she's the main character.

@@another-artist Yeah it was so annoying seeing her act like it was a big deal not wearing makeup around Suho when multiple times he tells her he literally doesn't care and finds her pretty either way but it's like she forgets everything she learns every arc or even ends up contradicting herself by saying things to others as advice but never follows it herself (which would be fine if this hypocrisy was actually questioned but it never is). Tbh Han did it way better and was much more likeable with MC's character story. A shame bc it could've been really great!

I'm assuming you left off with that guy leaving (Suho) to another country and left Jug.. whatever her name is; MC in the airport, depressed. She ended up with Suho because apparently he had family issues, didn't trust his dad and his dad had health problems, then it all got better. Meantime before [or while he was] he came back, she ended up with the guy who sung in kareoke but when Suho came back she broke it off? I'm not sure. He became a popstar, had a stalker, said-stalker became MC the more she spoke to her, got confronted, MC almost got hurt, blah blah blah. Afterwards she did something with a company then she became an influencer but the manager she had exposed her secret face and she left the company (she ran away but came back after the taking off makeup challenge), they gave her name 'barbie joo' to someone else, and she made her own account.

[Spoilers] One of the things I hate most about this Webtoon is that Jugyeong's love of comics and horror pretty much never gets brought up again after the initial arc. I've read the whole thing, and it gets mentioned maybe once toward the end? But it's disheartening to see that she decides to hide her niche interests and then... actually does it. After that, all her personality is is, "I love makeup! Which boy do I like?" and just being cloyingly nice to everyone so every conflict she's in is just her being a poor victim of unfortunate circumstances. She has no agency other than, "This person is being so mean to me/my friend for no reason, except that they are terrible! I'm going to [do something clever and borderline deus ex machina about it|cry until someone else does something about it]!" She doesn't really DO anything. Things happen TO her. Hell, even the whole, "I'm ugly without makeup" plotline goes STRAIGHT out the window for a good, long while in favor of her love triangle and social media drama. And then, the big moment we've all been waiting for, the entire climax of the series where Jugyeong's real, bare face gets revealed to the world after she becomes a big social media star... finally happens. And it's a problem for like 1 or 2 episodes before another character comes to her rescue. Then it's over, everyone loves her again, she gets engaged to Suho, blah blah blah. Anyway, rant about her lack of character over. For all intents and purposes, she severely alters her personality to make her more relatable to those around her, and never goes back. She makes a couple of friends - important side characters with their own names and distinct personalities - by acting like a different person, and NEVER ends up telling them that she likes nerd things. I think the closest she gets is when she starts her own KZbin channel at the very end and does some monster makeup tutorials, but that's it. We never get a moment where her friends even say anything like, "Wow, I didn't know you like that stuff. You don't seem like the type. But it's cool that you do, girlboss!" Let alone the reactions of disgust and othering that Jugyeong expected. Completely abandoned plot line. She never goes back to the comic shop, always wears the same trendy/basic clothing that she only wore in the first place because that's what everyone expected of her... Boo. (Not that there's anything wrong with trendy or basic, it's just another example of how she had absolutely no character development and stuck with the fake personality she developed in order to make people like her.) ... and yes, I do have a lot of feelings about this comic after following it for so long just to see when it would eventually get better. If I could tell my younger self, "Don't bother, it makes all of the most predictable and frustrating narrative choices possible," I wouldn't have stuck with it lol

Dude, I love you For the longest time, I've had these complaints with the webtoon and haven't been able to perfectly articulate them. And even when I do it's usually around a bunch of people who think the webtoon is a masterpiece in media and would just be like, you are thinking too deeply. From the lack of character development to the narrative entirely shifting to the love triangle, it's been downhill in every way and it kinda feels bad cause most people thought it would actually have a deeper layer and not this sprinkle of I'm 14 and this is deep social commentary.

True Beauty's girl isn't even ugly ,she just needs a good skincare and that's all. Looking at the art style somehow I knew it's going to take shallow dive into a topic like that. Funny enough there was an article by koreans who were complaining why high schoolers looks like models in this comic and that it's settings an unrealistic expectation. But anyone if interested in similar comic but with actual substance read Cursed Princess Club. It's best! It's funny, wholesome and heals you! Another comic will recommend is Escape Room. It's not same gener as CPC rather it's survival, psychological. It has great plot and MC has extremely high IQ but only high IQ. Definitely u will love the twist and turn. I am just letting it out bcs I loved it.

(SPOILER) The red flag of this webtoon started for me when I read the part where she(mc) goes for blind dates after her breakup with Seojun. The irony and hypocrisy in her character clearly being shown as she rejects a guy because he looked different from his social media photos. And her reaction to that was just so WOW.... I still can't believe that a scene like that exists. I literally couldn't continue reading that webtoon after that. I'm so over that webtoon.

i very specifically remember when and why i dropped this. at one point she gets somewhat romantically involved with suho only for him to leave for japan without saying anything. the second male lead which is almost like her best friend, and her finally get together. i always liked him more than suho and they were happy together as she was finally getting over suho ( this second male lead was super in love with her and was toxic in the beginning but had real character development). BUT she never let her new boyfriend see her face without make up. Especially because he is actually super gorgeous and if i remember correctly, a model. later on they went on some trip somewhere together since they’re now college students and she bends over backwards just so he doesn’t see her real face adding strain to their relationship. THEN SUHO COMES BACK AND SHES LIKE I WISH I WAS WITH HIM BECAUSE HE LIKED ME WITHOUT MAKE UP ON AND LIKE EXCUSE ME WOMAN WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU i get pissed just thinking about it

I gave up reading it during Jugyeong’s college adventures because it felt like the story didn’t seem to be progressing with the (at least what it was marketed to be) message about real beauty. It’s disappointing to hear this is what happens, I liked that they broke stereotypes and had her wind up with her friend after Suho left. I thought it was going to end with her finally showing her boyfriend her face without makeup and him being cool with it (because why wouldn’t he be?) or something.

There’s a really good comic called “Odd Girl Out.” It’s similar yo true beauty but there’s actual character development and the main focus isn’t to look better rather to be better. So far it’s my favorite comic, and this comes from some that kept up with the comic since it first came out. The story never gets boring and the characters are well developed, including the villains. You should do a video on it. P.S. The show is bad but the comic is S tier.

I remember I dropped this in some point that's very early because on top of the bad message for the webtoon's demographic, this one was full of cliches and they didn't do anything to subvert that. Like the protagonist has that "I'm not like other girls vibe" and there's the annoying mean girl who hates the protagonist for some reason. And I guess the love interest who is just there so people can simp for. I dont know if it changed but if you want to read a story with themes of beauty go read "Cursed Princess Club", it's good. It shows that even if you're not good looking for the standards of other people, there are people who will still love you especially if you are kind to them. For manga, go read "Kasane", it's not as wholesome as Cursed Princess Club but it's dark tone may be interesting for some.

You can also read, in the manga category, "Bouquet for the ugly lady", it also follows the theam of a girl who is healthy and considers herself as 'ugly' despite having a round cute body type, she never hides it, just considers that no one will see her in a romantic because she is not the cute or beautiful type like other girls in her class but the really handsome guy of the class, greatest green flag ever with a great personality, falls in love with her solely because of her own personality and he also finds her cute. It also has a really good character growth with every main and side character. Even the other girl who was in love with ml gets a character development and in a really realistic manner, she was humanly from the beginning because her crush was in love with someone else but she got over it and got friends with fml. The female lead is really really cute and relatable and her inner monologue sounds convincingly very human.

If we're recommending things, I would still like to bring to the table Scoob and Shag! It's the only WEBTOON I genuinely recommend to people. The art and story have only gotten better and better. It starts as a pure nonsense comic with some random dumb jokes, but it quickly changes to have a more serious and crazy plot. Honestly, you can start on chapter 14 if you want to skip the pure nonsense, but it's pretty short. I personally love the drastic change the story has between those two points.

Honestly, it's the title translation fault. The original name was supposed to be TSOA or The Secret Of Angel. Where it matches with the actual content more. TSOA was never meant to deliver this message that you're beautiful from the inside but instead it was meant to be a kind of slice of life drama with a little bit of comedy. This is not the first time I encounter western audience misinterpreting 'slice of life' genre and expecting it to have a plot and meaning because the plot is there's no plot and there's no meaning, so it shouldn't be taken seriously.

It doesn’t really absolve the story from being mediocre though. Slice of life and comedy _do_ have plot, it’s usually a lot more smaller scale and the arcs are shorter. At the end of the day, True Beauty / Secret Of The Angel still has a boring protagonist with no personality and arcs that are resolved without any conflict (even if it’s small-scale and realistic), which is just boring regardless of whether it’s slice of life or not.

This webtoon isn’t a moral lesson about loving yourself despite your flaws and how everyone is beautiful as they are- it’s supposed to represent the problems of the lookism Korean society that the author of the webtoon grew up in. SK is a country where beauty is valued a lot - and even young children are encouraged by their parents to get surgeries or lose large amounts of weight. The thing is that no matter how the main character would feel about her own looks - it doesn’t change how horribly she’d be treated by the rest of society. Making friends, dating and even things such as job opportunities are very dependant on your appearance in a place like South Korea. That’s the core message of the webtoon.

I read the whole first session of it and dropped it after the second started. Another guy becomes interested in her and the story starts to become a stereotypical love triangle. The second guy does stand up for people who aren't conventional attractive, but it only happens once. Her brother and mother is constantly saying how ugly she is, people are only interested in her when she has makeup on, and everyone kinda falls for her fake personality besides the two guys who are interested in her. I loved it when I was younger, back when I had the mindset that if you're not physically attractive, no one would like you. But now I hate it. It only confirmed that my mindset was right, which made me really toxic...

I don't think true beauty is good at delivering the "love your true face no matter what!" message but it does definitely show how childhood bullying is extremely traumatic and has long lasting effects and it continues on the track of how her finding out she's talented at makeup and making a successful career out of it makes more people hate her, just for a different reason. I think it's also important to remember that it wasn't just childhood bullies that tormented her but her own family as well. Her brother constantly belittles her for her looks and even acts like her doesn't know her at school because he's ashamed of her.

I have wasted a lot of time reading this webtoon, and I still haven't finished because it did just get worse. The main problem I had was that stupid love triangle. That was all the story revolved around, and it got exhausting real fast. I cannot count the amount of times I have seen incredible character development get thrown out the window just to feed the love triangle plot. Not only did it just reverse that so much, there would be moments where those in the love triangle would suddenly go so out of character it'd leave me confused as to how that ever happened. It just became to frustrating to keep going.

I never saw the webtoon or fully watched the K-Drama for this webtoon, but there was a clip i saw about a scene in the K-Drama where the main character was putting makeup on an "ugly girl" for her recital because there was a girl who bullied the "ugly" girl saying she didnt deserve the main spot because she was ugly. And when the "ugly" girl ask the main character if she was ugly or not, the main character answered "Youre pretty, but you would be prettier with makeup on" and i thought it was really wholesome that the main character views beauty from the inside, not the from the outside and thinks the girl is pretty in her natural beauty and the K-Drama served its point across on true beauty but i was shocked that the webtoon did not convey that.....

Why she panicking about the guy figuring out her identity when she has a whole school (or, at the very least, a class) who knows how she looks without the makeup and haven't exposed her online?

When she started wearing makeup and got bullied vs when she shows up with "good" makeup are 2 different schools I believe it was middle school when she tried out makeup for high-school she just went to a different school vs what most would have gone too from that middle school. Regardless the entire web toon was bad no character development on any of them. You can't even consider the ending character development either.

I always pronounce her name as jug-young.

I still remember suho going “you aren’t ugly, stop caring so much about looks” and goddamnit she really needed to hear that but this bitch just ignored it. This comic is the definition of “character development who?”

Someone should make a more "shout out for makeup"-story, because makeup is not easy and takes a lot of study and work to master. Just look at modern drag-queens, that's amazing how far the makeup get. The problem is that beauty standarts are becoming more higher and higher, and the makeup technics becoming more difficult and difficult. And results are: you can look attractive only when you devoted your whole life (and spend every penny) to makeup. (The technolgy improvement and demands rising problem...sort of)

It was good at first, the mc grows out of her trauma when she was bullied and moves on. The love interest (Suho) helps her overcome her obstacles and has his own interesting backstory aswell but then the timeskip arrived. Jugyeong barely has character development and it turned into a neverending love triangle story which is full of cliché. I dropped it when Suho and Seojun were competing on the beauty show, the tiny amount of hope I had for realism evaporated at that point

I feel like one of the only webtoons who has gotten the "The protagonist is ugly and needs to learn to respect themselves" is Lookism, and even then the protagonist doesn't just accept he is ugly and does nothing about it, he progressively gets more determination to take care of himself to the point of actively exercising and training to lose the weight he has.

The girl's just normal looking, a normal Korean girl (but doesn't seem so according to Korean standards). It's just the bullying made her very insecure about her appearance. Having acne is part of growing up and all you need self-care if you want to keep a decent look. That's it. I remember being called 'ugly' back then as an adolescent and I lacked self awareness for my appearance (I didn't care) But it's normal for a person to feel insecure because you are growing up and you are noticing this physical difference between you and your peers. You don't even know how you look like from their own perspectiv. I have this mindset when it comes to physical appearance be like, 'what matters is on the inside - personality, not the outside - appearance, so I don't give a damn what y'all think of me but hey, I wonder why I am not quite enough to suit their taste or be yearned of the opposite sex.' But I get it, though. I didn't have a self-care routine until I became a young adult. I was aware of how I look and sure I was insecure, so I did a bit of self care. What the girl need though is self-care and confidence bro. Be yourself. The girl's character development...nah. No need to cake the face with as thick and ghostly as flour. People gonna sugarcoat you till they put some salt on you. The way the webtoon True Beauty tells this kind of story of a girl bullied because of how ugly she was, uses the power of makeup, a cover up of plainness instead of appreciating what she has or do a natural self-care routine for her appearance, especially to young readers... that's very alarming because as far as I know that the Korean standard for beauty is toxic. And for those who were struggling or unable to fit in the society because of their look will do so much changes (plastic surgery) to fit those standards. *I'm not really criticizing people going under the knife, people have various opinions about it but the abuse of it to the point of losing your genuineness is already an issue itself.)
