For binge watching on a cozy day
This show was pretty great. I atleast was able to finish it, recently I start k-drama's and they are good in the beginning but in the middle and towards the end they drag, so I get bored and drop it, but not this one. I loved the development of all the characters except the senior guys. They could have had more character development for them. I also did not give it a 9 or 10 because it felt like the same stories that you usually see from k-dramas. If I came across this in my earlier k-drama watching journey then it would have probably been one of my top dramas but now I've seen better stories so my critique has to be a little more detailed.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
Surprisingly I enjoy the show
Honestly, this drama is already long enough in my list for watch..But, I don't really interest about the bully stuff.. because it will be annoy me and make me upset to someone who's get bully that can't defence herself..
I think the reason I still have this drama in my list, because the male lead is really pretty.. He has the unique face that I can remember for a long time.. not really my type, but still he can make me melted with his smile..
The funny is.. I want to spend my quota internet (because it will be expired in 2 days and I still have a lot)
I search drama from netflix and found this Gangnam..so why don't try for the 1st episode?
Surprisingly I enjoy the drama and this drama make me want to go back in my past..
I like female character.. she try her best to adapt in her new situation.. and not easily intimidated with other people.. I know she think a lot what people say or thinking, but she try to ignore for her happy life..
Maybe that because she has a lovely parents and best friend who always be her side..
Actually I thought the antagonist will be very annoying and make every people do all what she want.. but the writers don't mess the story like that.. I love it.. because in this world no one people is very very very very bad.. or no one people is very good good good... thats not realistic at all..
And talk about Cha eun wo, the handsome male lead.. Some people will be say he is actor with a bad acting.. her face is really flat in this drama.. but so far I know.. in the webtoon, his character has a less expression and very has a flat face.. so I think cha eunwo did a good job.. I don't know about his other drama, but he's really cute in this drama.. I love it..
so if you still has a doubt for watching this drama, please go for it..watch it and you will enjoy the show ^^

BEST DRAMA IN KDRAMA HISTORY
I AM NOT JUDGING THIS DRAMA BASED ON 2-3 DRAMAS I HAVE WATCHED .AFTER WATCHING ALMOST 200 DRAMAS I HAVE CAME TO THIS RESULT THAT THIS WAS THE BEST ONE SO FAR AND I HAVEN'T FOUND YET ANNOTHER DRAMA COMPARED TO THIS ONE.A realistic story to which anyone can relate it shows the real situation in life and a couple who truly love each other regardless of who and what they are.đ The slow love story of Kang Mi rae and Kyung Seok touched my heart.They were so good
A realistic story to which anyone can relate
it shows the real situation in life and a couple who truly love each other regardless of who and what they are.đ
The slow love story of Kang Mi rae and Kyung Seok touched my heart.They were so good .
Plot of this drama is breath of fresh air for me... extremely amazing. The way they give us message that inner beauty is most important than outer beauty... is beyond amazing. I liked that all the pairs did not show up together at the end..

Worth watching
Even with the critics, I do believe this drama is worth watching. It was slow paced and not your usual lovey lovey romantic drama but I personally found myself really interested in the story behind each character and how the beauty standard affected and influenced their lives. There wasnât a moment where I didnât want to watch an episode because it all flows through perfectly. Not saying this is the best drama ever but I do think it is worth giving it a try and seeing for yourself what this drama has to bring.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
Buen drama con un mensaje interesante
TenĂa tiempo queriendo ver este drama y no me decepcionĂł. Puede que fuera un poco lento pero supo desarrollar a sus personajes y llevar bien la historia hasta el final.Me gustaron muchos de sus personajes y las preguntas que levantaban sus historias. CĂłmo la misma antagonista tuvo un momento donde me hizo sentir conflicto en si seguir odiandola era lo correcto o no. TocĂł temas sensibles y aunque algunos los pudo tratar mejor, creo que fue bastante bueno.
Este drama te muestra muchas cosas, pero entre ellas como lo esencial cambiar tu perspectiva del mundo y como puedes ser parte del mismo problema que te acontece.
Lo Ășnico es que el final fue un tanto... abrupto? Pero si volverĂa a verlo en determinado momento

I'm just going to get straight to it. I think this is a really good drama. If I ever have a friend who wants to start to watch K-dramas I'd probably suggest this one first. Okay the story itself seems easy to follow, a girl who felt self-conscious got plastic surgery and is now dealing with life with a new face. No! There is so much more to it. I think you really have to empathize with Mi Rae as a character. Not loving how you look and people treating who differently purely based on your appearance is an awful feeling. Throughout the drama we can see where her feelings are rooted from, we can see that how society is so obsessed with beauty, we can also see how little appearances mean to the entirety of a person in this drama. Cast-
Mi Rae- Im Soo Hyang, I don't really think I have the right to comment on this part because I have a huge bias. Im Soo Hyang is my favorite actress. I have watched everything she has been in. So I think that she did a splendid job acting as Mi Rae. Her expressions, her ambiance, her charisma everything was spot on! I don't think her age has anything to do with the role because she was able to act like a college student.
Do Kyung Suk- So I actually learned about Cha eun woo from this drama, I must say he is really handsome. His acting career just started and I think he has really good potential. I don't want to judge too harshly, I know his character is standoffish, I just think he didn't always portray the coldness in the right way or the right time. However, these things come with times and I am not a professional critic or anything. It's just my opinion. He is really good, but there is room for improvement.
Soo Ah- I'm so surprised I haven't seen Jo Woo Ri in many leading roles before. She is honestly a hidden gem. She couldn't have portrayed her character better. Huge props to her for that.
Woo Young- Kwak Dong Yeon did a good job with his role. I thought he was quite a funny character sometimes. His acting is consistent, I wish sometimes he'd show more emotion, but he had some memorable parts so overall good.
The rest of the cast was also really good. I like Kyung Suk's mother a lot, she was such a great actress. His sister and Dad were both good as well. The same goes with the actors and actresses in Mi Rae's family. Also, I love the actress playing Mi Rae's best friend, she was honestly one of my favorite people in the cast. I wish I got to see more romance with her and Woo Young.
Romance- I think I should definitely mention this. Please do not watch this hoping to see a lot of romance. There is a decent amount of it. It's just that it is a bit slow. I think this was good for the drama however, I don't think too much romance would have been good. This is definitely not a huge romantic drama, but it has some cute scenes in there
Changes- The only this I would change is giving Mi Rae a bit more time to shine. In the first episode when she was dancing, honestly she really did shine. She did get to show off her perfume skills here and there and social skills, etc... However, I really think they could have given her more time in the spotlight.
I would definitely rewatch this and I highly suggest others to give this drama a try.

Anytime I find myself relating to the main character(s) of a drama on a personal, emotional, often private level, I know I'm going to end up loving a show, and this time was no exception. I was Very emotionally invested in Mi Rae's story, because I related to her Very deeply. I wanted to see her overcome her insecurities and give herself permission to live a fulfilling life, and it was so rewarding watching her open up and let others in.What I probably enjoyed most about this drama is how subtly it dealt with it's subject matter. All throughout were these tiny moments and messages that compounded on top of each other. The story was never pushy or loud or obnoxious. It never tried to shout it's message from a rooftop. It didn't go for cliché or for 'Woman power'. It chose instead to weave a simple message into the everyday things characters said and did and felt about themselves. It created a message meant to be felt, not necessarily spoken out loud, which is where any true, genuine truth should be held and understood.
This drama is not without flaws though.
The entire finale was truthfully a letdown. While I liked a lot of how everything played out, it felt very rushed and out of order. Mi Rae and Kyung Seok get the happy ending together they deserve, but it felt a bit like the writers trying to create that 'perfect romantic ending' rather than just letting the characters be themselves. Soo Ah receives what I consider a fitting, and hopeful, redemption story that I wish could have started to unfold a little sooner as it would have helped the audience relate to her a lot better.. And I'm soooooo salty about how all of our side couples were sort of dropped by the writers at the end, because I wanted their happy endings, and we didnât get them!!!
Ultimately, I was waiting for the drama to tie together all of the little, subtle messages it had been sending throughout the story, and that didn't happen. The focus on creating that 'perfect romantic ending' and trying to give Soo Ah an affective redemption arc took away from what was really the overall message of the drama. Beauty is subjective, and it's objectively in all of us.
(And for anyone wanting to know, yes. Cha Eun Woo is probably not the best actor, but I think his acting style worked fairly well for the character, and I didn't find it particularly distracting while watching.)
Despite my disappointment with the finale, this is still one of my favorite dramas that I've watched this year and definitely on my list of favorite dramas I've ever watched. It treats itâs characters and subject matter with thoughtful kindness, and that goes a long way in overcoming any other mistakes a drama might make. I highly recommend giving this drama a chance.

Historia: aunque es cierto que hay algunas frases y diĂĄlogos que son calcados del cĂłmic, prĂĄcticamente lo Ășnico que se mantiene es la idea de que la protagonista se ha hecho un enorme "lavado de cara". Por lo demĂĄs, habĂa muchas tramas secundarias que no aparecen en el cĂłmic, algunas mejores que otras. Por ejemplo, me gusta que tenga una amiga, aunque eso hace tambalear un poco la idea de que estĂĄ traumatizada porque no pudo vivir como el resto de los adolescentes. Pero lo que no me gusta, es que los dos protagonistas son probablemente los personajes mĂĄs sosos e insulsos que he visto en un k-drama hasta el momento. Al menos el final es dulce, teniendo el mismo estilo que Cheese in the trap, al menos este final estĂĄ bien.
ActuaciĂłn: vamos a decir que Cha Eun Woo es muy joven y tiene todavĂa muchas oportunidades para aprender... porque aunque en el cĂłmic es bastante asocial y no se sabe muy bien quĂ© piensa, en el drama no se le veĂa ningĂșn tipo de emociĂłn, y no hablemos de cuando tenĂa que sonreĂr. No habĂa visto antes a Im Soo Hyang, y no lo hace mal, cumple con lo que se le pide al papel, aunque a veces querrĂa matar a su personaje por lo indecisa que es.
MĂșsica: ni me acuerdo.
Rewatch: no...
ÂżLo recomendarĂa? bueno, sĂ, para un fin de semana lluvioso en el que se quiera ver algo ligero.

As for the cast, I've seen some people saying Soohyang is too old for the role but that's exactly the point. She was suppose to look old for her age group due to the results of the procedure. It was suppose to make people question her presence. It was quite a good move to cast a mature looking person if anything. For the acting however, I wasn't sure if it was intentional for her to be quite awkward but still a bit bearable. Cha Eun Woo's acting was average (maybe just for this drama?) and having Kwak Dongyeon as his teacher was quite funny given that both of them are the same age in real life.
Nonetheless, it's still bearable to watch but whether I will rewatch it is a different question.

It's a little bit slow paced but trust me it's worth the wait. Many people will say that both the leads are too slow but I guess that's the main ingredient which makes this drama so special. Even the second lead was very good. He's actually one of my fav actors. I watched him in love in the moonlight and since then I just love him. Even he was great here.
The story was really well executed. Till the end it didn't let go off the storyline like many other dramas do.
I personally thought that the last episode was kind of rushed I wanted to see more of their relationship growing but nevertheless I enjoyed the drama very much.

Earnest feminism
This drama tries hard to address issues of feminism, including judging females by their appearance, females striving for rewarding careers and families, males treating females as inferior, and the effects of gossip and social media on the portrayal of females. Most of this is done through small, natural conversations and exchanges in a realistic way. It's one of the first shows I've seen that's a true slice of life. Not everything is tied up with a bow at the end, which adds to the realism. I also appreciate the multiple antagonists and how the main one was realistic and three dimensional. It was refreshing to see about the same number of females and males on the cast, which speaks to the actual value they hold on screen.I felt it could have gone a bit further with its message of equality and acceptance. For instance, there is variation in the personalities and appearance of the female characters, but they mostly dressed the same except for one. And the males that treated the women with disrespect didn't all get what they deserved. Also, a strong message in the second half of the show that says most people are more concerned with their own insecurities over criticizing you, is overshadowed by the fact that no matter where KS goes, people loudly comment about how handsome he is. It's excessive.
Furthermore, the males are still differentiated based upon appearance, so the 'good guys' are conventionally good looking while the two worst 'bad guys' aren't. I also feel the ups and downs could perhaps have been depicted with more dynamic energy so that the pace could stay more exciting. One strength and also weakness of the show is around how obvious the "lessons" are in this show. But at the same time, this innocent earnestness fits the feel of the show, but also makes it pretty predictable and a bit simplistic.
Finally, I wanted to explore the stories of the supporting cast further and their relationships and histories. Min Do Hee who plays Mi Rae's best friend, didn't get the screen time she deserved. She is a fantastic and interesting character that wasn't written the way she should have been. And the other female supporting cast members should have had more of a story about not dressing in the expected feminine ways or not being stick thin. It could easily have been 20 episodes.
