I liked the message behind this drama Outside beauty is not everything
And you should love yourself the way you are
And never care about others opinions
I can appreciate what the FL went through but for some reason which I don't know why
I hated her character a lot which inorder affects her face in my eyes
I saw her very annoying specially with her stupid haircut which made her much older than the ML
There was a fine line between kindness and stupidity
And she was really stupid and caring tooooooooo much about others opinions and let others bulling her easily
She was very weak character for me
In the contrary I loved the ML character so much he was kind, cute, strong and calm character
He was so mean to every girl except the one he loved which was so amazing
Woo ri and hee joon were brilliant actors they made their role perfectly
But till the end I couldn't love any of them
I loved the emotions I felt in this drama really
But for me it was one time watching drama

El manhwa es mejor
HistoriaEsta basado en un manhwa, no digo que sea una mala adaptación, pero no es profunda. Es verdad yo la mire porque quería ver algo ligero, pero después leer el manhwa, puedo decir que el cómic es mejor. Trata mejor los temas de los canons de belleza, las críticas, la belleza natural, etc. Además del problema de autoestima de la prota, en el manwha no se resuelve en el último capítulo por magia.
Actuación/elenco
La mire por Cha Eun-Woo. Así que me encantó el a pesar de que su actuación (o más bien su personaje era como el de true beauty)
Pero la prota, no me gusto. Ella individualmente, bueno tampoco, pero eso ya es personal. Lo importante fue la química con el prota. No vi una pareja. No siento que combinaban. Y eso es muy insatisfactorio.
Los demás actores/personajes nada especial que decir.
Musica
No recuerdo algún tema en especial.
Valor de repetición
Recomendada. Es ligera, tiene sus cosillas. Si quieres mirarla otra vez, piénsalo otra vez y lee el manhwa.

Oh my, I read so many bad reviews about this drama and was scared to watch it after that. Nevertheless, I decided to give it a shot because I was very curious about the show’s plot. And honestly? I don’t really agree with the people who say that the drama is bad. Frankly, I agree with one thing, and it’s that the acting of the leads was not the best and kind of irritating at times. However, the plot and the messages that this drama presented made the story a lot of fun for me overall. I could really sympathize with Kang Mi Rae in this drama, and all of her actions were justified and came from a place of insecurity. We see two girls, one who turned rotten because of how much she paid attention to looks, and one who became a total empathetic sweetheart because she doesn’t want other people to suffer like she once did. This contrast between the antagonists created a very interesting plot with a lot of “SHE SAID WHAT’ type of drama and barely any stupid breakup/jealousy drama, which I really enjoyed. This type of slice of life drama will always be my favorite: the mundane, day-to-day stories of people where we really get to know them and their wishes and aspirations. This drama discussed a very important issue, and while we didn’t get to see Kang Mi Rae entirely fall in love with her looks or completely stop judging others’ looks, we notice a positive change in her character. Anyhow, it would be quite unrealistic for her to magically get rid of all insecurities, and I’m glad the writers realized that Kang Mi Rae suddenly becoming super confident after years of internalizing the message that she’s a hideous orc is extremely unrealistic and just not how life works out (not that this drama is the most realistic thing, but still). I have to say that Hyun Soo Ah was one of my favorite villains in a kdrama ever, and I ended up really enjoying her on screen more than I probably should. I struggle with very similar issues as her and could empathize with a lot of her actions for that reason. Overall, I’d recommend this drama to anyone who’s willing to overlook slightly cringey acting, because the story that is told in this drama is one worth watching! Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

I was actually discouraged by my friend to watch this, however, the trailer made it quite interesting so I gave it a shot.The story is actually great and quite unique. It gave me a new perspective about plastic surgeries. It was quite insightful. I also the ending for both Mi Rae and Soo A.
Im Soo-hyang's acting is very moving, and I liked some of her outfit.
Cha Eun-woo is very handsome. He's good at being serious, but there are scenes that his acting is a bit off like when he is jealous.
Dohee, Park Yoo Na, & Seo Ji Hye are simple but still noticeably beautiful. There acting is also great.
Kwak Dong-yeon is very attractive and his acting is great. I was attracted to him in Lovers in the Moonlight as he was playing as an assasin who's very quiet. He's noticeable there, and so in this drama. His acting is really great that I almost want him to be the one Mi Rae would ended up. Also, all the girls that liked him are great.
Though some scenes are cliche and not so entertaining, and there are times, especially the last episodes, that I moved forward on the scenes, still I find this worth watching til the end.

I have to say this drama is bold. It has gone where (in my short drama life anyway) no production has -society’s mostly unspoken yet almost always skin deep obsession of beauty. This drama has lots of potential but (please don’t hate me too much) sadly fell short in so many ways. It could have been so much better and I tried, I really did.I LIKED the Plot- it is real, current and so relevant. I DISLIKED how it was developed- it was drawn out ever so slowly that it was painful at times. I understand some typical scenes are needed, the sweet fluffy romantic and even the ever present shower scene but, it was just way too forced that it was actually cringey. There were so many unnecessary repeat flashbacks that I feel they ran out of materials which is sad because there are so many layers they could have uncovered just with the story of Mi Rae alone - there really was no need for Soo Ah’s story....but I digress.
I LIKED the CEO MOM character the most and the artist who played the part. I felt her love and longing for her kids mostly just from her facial expression and body gestures that she didn’t really need too many words- I’d say that is pure talent. I LIKED TA WOO YOUNG, his line “real life begins when you move out” is so full of wisdom! I loved Dong Yeon in his other dramas and love him here as well. The same goes for the ever firecracker small but terrible Do Hee, loyal as always :)
I DISLIKED the acting of the main FL, I feel bad for saying this because I think she truly did her best but she ... just.. didn’t carried out Mi Rae’s character. I didn’t feel the connection, I didn’t feel her agony nor her desperation...it just felt soooo shallow...whew, there I said it! And my dear Eun Woo did his best as well, his brooding character always angry at the world which he did well but, again I didn’t feel connected. Needless to say that their relationship did not have the click factor for me so it was hard for me to cheer or stand up for their relationship.
The one good thing this drama showed me was at the very end (I really have to dig deep here to find it) when Mi Rae asked Soo Ah to look at herself, is she happy because she’s been pretty all her life? No different than what Mi Rae felt before (and even after) her surgery, In short, enough of deep skin beauty already! Let us find and embrace the real beauty instead, ones that actually matters.
I would not call this RomCom material neither would it be in my recommended list....but I am off to take a whiff of the Atelier Pomelo Paradis in Sephora... my olfactory senses are piqued!

This is the first time I'm giving a review for a drama...That's because I just couldn't tolerate the people saying things like.. "The dialogue delivery was too slow" or "The male lead was expressionless all along"
This review is for the readers who are getting influenced by those reviews n chose not to watch this drama, because if you read such reviews, you need to know that they did not understand the story at all!
STORY & CAST:
The story is about a girl Kang Mirae(Im Soo Hyang) who was bullied throughout her school life and goes under knife to make herself pretty before she enters the college. But unfortunately, she starts being called "gangnam beauty" (which means pretty all because of artificial things like surgeries and cosmetics). Her low self esteem makes her life even harder.
The male lead Do Kyung Seok(Cha Eun Woo) is a perfect guy who attracts all the attention because of his good looks, also being called "genius face".
Yet he has the scars of his past due to his family issues which makes him not care about his surroundings (in other words, he's a loner)
A pretty girl Hyun Soo Ah(Jo Woo Ri) who was born beautiful and craves for attention and has her own story behind her strange personality
A kind senior Woo Young (Kwak Dong Yeon) who lives working hard on his own and helps his juniors through their problems.
ACTING:
The female lead whose character is supposed to have low self esteem was carried too well by Im Soo Hyang..talking in a low voice, giving a blank expression when she is praised or asked about something that's good in her (coz she was never loved before). Our male lead who is a loner had to give very subtle expressions but still show what he's thinking! This job was excellently done by our Cha Eun Woo! The character of Hyun Soo Ah which no one mentions, is pretty hard to be carried out...coz she has to be very kind out in front of everyone and keep her true self to herself! She was good too..and the casting was just done too beautifully.
So I suggest everyone who reads this review to try watching at least the first episode..coz you'll watch the next episodes on your own, out of curiosity!
Hope this review was helpful...Enjoy watching MY ID IS GANGNAM BEAUTY

At first, I liked her, and I could sympathize with her, but I got tired of her monotone personality.
The 2nd hand embarrassment I got from her was unbelievable. Felt so so bad for Do Kyung Seok:(((

Gosh, this may not be the best drama I've ever watched, but it was so freakin addictive. I just wish Soo ah's backstory was more developed and that we would see what happened to Mirae's bff & Wooyoung, cause I highkey wanted them to end up together. Other than that, it's a drama that has a good mixture of serious and light-hearted topics, and I think it's a perfect one for binge-watching. The main leads are so cute together. Also the ost for this one was nice, I still listen to some of the songs since they are so catchy

NOT JUST YOUR TYPICAL YOUTH ORIENTED DRAMA
This drama talks about plastic surgery a very controversial social issue but turned out to be a very positive, light hearted, romantic drama with all the positive message of inner beauty, loving yourself, growing up, first love, forgiveness, loyalty and freindship. The drama explores what is truly mens to be beautiful and happy. That is loving yourself and giving the respect that you truly deserve.Talking about the actors, they are well chosen and that they brought life to the story. I swear Cha Eun Woo is the perfect Do Kyung suk and Im So Hyang gave beauty to Kang Mi Rae. It is like fate that brought this two to lead the drama and they gave 100
% justice to their characters. Their acting are raw, pure and natural. They are so comfortable with each other and interact with much fluidity that resulted to an excellent chemistry on screen. The supporting actors are well casted too and that they made the whole drama more relatable and delivers one of the best youth oriented genre in the last decade.
The music used fits the whole drama. OSTs made watching more ligt hearted and easy to watch. CEWs rendition of one of the background with his angelic voice becomes all the more romantic and heartwarming.
This is probably one of the few dramas I would like to rewatch again and again. If you want to feel in love and relieve your college and first love, rewatching this is the best way to do it.
All in all, this is such a heartwarming, heartfluttering drama. Light, sweet, romantic with a lifetime lessons it provides.
10/10

I've read others opinion and most of them were saying that story is slow running well this isn't wrong either but don't you think being slow story contains "Detailing" i mean, presenting this much characters in every single point of them within 16 episodes, isn't it too good like DevilMan Crybaby Anime it has 10 episodes and absolute masterpiece..
Why i like this series?
- This story is too realistic as much in know about Korea beauty is everything there and maybe that's the reason that country has different benchmark from others and this story presents and directly indicating this is wrong to judge others by their faces because being beautiful isn't up to us we can't do anything about this..
Acting/Casting of the characters was quite amazing specially Mi Rae's, taking plastic surgery isn't wrong in anyways it's just our mentality has became like natural beauty is everything and it mustn't be altered well naturality has it's own status like Ms. Na's character presented, in short overall i like this series too much after all this is my first time watching K-Drama and it influenced me in many ways i used to watch Anime....
