Synopsis of True Beauty

Since she was just a child, Im Ju Kyung (Moon Ga Young) never feels confident about herself, especially about her physical appearance.

She was told by everyone that she didn’t look pretty. This physical judgment makes her always wondering about what’s the problem with her face.

Ju Kyung continues to live her life with her bare face until one day that changed her life forever.

After moving school from her old school to the new school, Ju Kyung has a strong desire to look prettier than before.

To afford that goal, Ju Kyung decided to learn how to wear make-up. After some practice, Ju Kyung finally gets her best look that enhances her beauty.

She never took off her make-up when she’s outside after then. She even goes to school wearing that make-up and never shows her bare face to anyone.

In her new school, she also finds two men who are interested in her, Lee Suho (Cha Eun Woo) and Han Seo Joon (Hwang In Yeop).
