Korea has its own version of “Don’t Be Born Beautiful” (and their Pushkareva version is even scarier than the Russian one, photo inside)

First of all, we inform you: this is not plagiarism, the images are just similar. The South Korean series “True Beauty” came out in 2020 and immediately gained cosmic popularity. All thanks to the “humanity” of the plot and the expectation of a young audience who will try on the image of the main character themselves.

Im Ju Gyong is extremely unpopular at school; moreover, she was bullied by her classmates. And of course (this kind of bullying is a hot topic in Korea, by the way, and that’s probably why the series became so popular) they humiliated the girl because of her appearance.

By the way, they insulted the heroine so much that she considered giving up her life voluntarily, after she had done the irreparable. Fortunately, she meets Lee Su Ho on the way. This is the turning point in Im Ju Gyong’s life. For his sake, she changes schools, learns the tricks of make-up and generally becomes very different from what she was.

Well, further questions remain open and closed as the plot progresses: will her perpetrators recognize her, will she meet her rescuer again, and what will these fundamental changes bring her in general? By the way, one of the obvious advantages, despite the fact that the drama is designed for a young audience because of the “school” plot, it is interesting to watch for viewers of all ages. By the way, the Russian “Katya Pushkareva” was deprived of this.

Another big plus for busy viewers is the number of episodes. The project is not going to be expanded over 24 seasons. The timing is quite reasonable: 16 episodes of 60 minutes each. So it is easy to master in a couple of evenings. Russian viewers who had the chance to watch the drama rated it extremely high. Have you seen …?
