Tug at heartstrings with My ID is Gangnam Beauty.

As JTBC's drama My ID is Gangnam Beauty is reaching the end, it is leaving viewers wondering how the ending is going to be. Whether it's going to be similar to the webtoon and will the main characters get a happy ending?

 First of all, I'd say it's not an overly fantastic drama. It's mostly played by idol singers and young rookie actors/actresses. However with Im Soo Hyang being the most veteran actress in the cast, she is definitely holding the drama on her shoulders as the timid and shy University chemistry major student, Kang Mi Rae who was once shun off by the society due to her looks. By undergoing plastic surgery, she thought her life would be better however she meets more problems in University when her rude seniors called her plastic monster. 




Nevertheless she meets her high school friend, Do Kyung Suk who is a handsome and most popular student at the same field. Kyung Suk has never laughed or looked down on Mi Rae despite her looks. Instead he carries a strange cold demeanour. He hardly talks to anyone due to his parent's divorce. Coming from a strong family background, he often lives in his own world and ignoring others. Meanwhile there's a senior graduate and teaching assistant, Woo Young who is gentle and sweet. Woo Young is nice towards Mi Rae and harbors feelings for her. Mi Rae's bestie, Hyun Jung being a pscyhology major keeps her one sided love for Woo Young. 

The cunning, scheming Soo Ah is perfect in all ways on the front but is very superficial. She kept pursuing on Kyung Suk for popularity and fame. She is cynical and pretends to be nice to Mi Rae. After being rejected many times by Kyung Suk, she gets on Mi Rae's nerves. 

The storyline is rather simple. The ratings were around mid 4-5% due to the private TV station. It is true that Astro's Cha Eun Woo is the main visual in this drama. He typically looks as if he is cut out from a Manga webtoon. Indeed I have to admit this fact. He just looks stunning in everyway even without any conversation. *swoons*.

The romance is a bit slow in this drama but it shows that Kyung Suk is not a hasty person and is giving Mi Rae a chance to open up. I have to say Kyung Suk's mom - CEO of Kelun is the coolest mother on earth. She finds herself happier after Mi Rae managed to have both her children at her side due to a misunderstanding. 

The lesson to learn from the drama? No matter how much one fix their appearance, it doesn't bring much happiness. It's one's personality and character that matters the most. Everyone will age at the end of the day. Beauty doesn't last forever. True beauty lies deep in one's character.
