My ID Is Gangnam Beauty
내 아이디는 강남미인Checked and re-read
A campus romance about a woman who had plastic surgery to stop being bullied and finds the judgement waiting on the other side. It is sharper about beauty standards than its 7.6 aggregate suggests, and written reviews rate it more than a point higher, which is the honest split: a good drama with a blank male lead. Cha Eun Woo is cast for his face and directed to stand still, so Im Soo Hyang carries every scene that matters. The bullying strand is followed through rather than waved away, which is rarer than it should be.
Bullied for her looks, Mi-rae gets plastic surgery hoping for a better kind of life but faces new challenges in college. Based on a hit Korean webtoon.
Hooks early Episode 1. The surgery and the first day of class are both done inside the hour.
