K-drama True Beauty Holds Script Reading With Leads Cha Eun Woo, Moon Ga Young, and Hwang In Yeop

It’s filming kick off time for upcoming tvN drama True Beauty, adapted from the webtoon called The Goddess Descends which supposedly has a problematic premise about beauty and shallowness and whatnot. Moon Ga Young plays the titular beauty who is an ordinary average girl who learns crack makeup skills and becomes a goddess level beauty to the outside world. The leads are all suitably cast in terms of similarity to the webtoon drawings especially male lead Cha Eun Woo though I’m more curious about second male lead Hwang In Yeop who is a newbie. He made an impression as the assassin baddie in Tale of Nokdu and he’s also doing a great job as the seemingly school bully in 18 Again. Adapting True Beauty will be the PD of Extraordinary You and the screenwriter of Top Star Yoo Baek.

  • I was kinda disapointed that Cha Eun Woo took the role. It's the same one he had in My ID Gangnam Beauty. The story is about the same theme too. It will be hard to not compare the both dramas.

    The PD did great by adapting EY. It was really beautifully filmed between the different places, the decors, the light, etc.

  • I don't like Cha Eun Woo's acting at all. But, I'm sure many people,especially in Korea, will watch this drama for him, he is just too beautiful to look at. And, the original webtoon fans will love the visual and synchronization of the casts in the characters. For the storyline, I just wish it doesn't turn out like Cheese in the trap.
    In the webtoon, the three lead characters are equally important. In the drama, I'm sure they would focus on Su Ho and Jugyeong, it would probably make the original webtoon fans mad.
    It already gives me Cheese in the trap vibes. Even though CITT was a hot mess, it was still very popular, just look at all cast now, they all make it successful.
    Hope everything works out fine, I really love the webtoon, and Moon Ga Young is a good actress.

  • I love all the cast except CEW. I hope CEW improves his acting.
    Moon Ga Young is not just a pretty face, she is good at acting and she can emote well.
    Hwang In Yeop is also good in 18 again.
    I hope the storylines would balance well too.

    • Same diana same. Will not watch. Cannot watch CEW. 15 years of watching kdrama he is the worst actor I have ever seen. I do like the second lead.He impressed me as the super loyal lackey of Kang Tae Ho in Nokdu. I shall endeavour to watch 18 Again since I do like Lee Do Hyun too.

      • This is direct bad comment to Chaneunwoo. I don't know what is your point but it is wrong as his acting is vice versa so good that everyone addicted to and won many acting awards. So stop it already or we can report to Fantagio.

      • And who is this delusional webbyjira person going round attacking comments that don't sing the praises of CEW?

        Direct bad comment to CEW? Whose name you couldn't even spell right? Everyone who? Won many acting awards so what? Hurry. Go report like the dutiful class prefect you are.

        Poor thing, you must be new here.

      • @webbyjira Lol what acting awards? Don't tell me it's those MBC-type awards that are not taken seriously by anyone including Koreans hahaha. Only credible drama awards is Baeksang Arts, and even then, there are some questionable moments.
        Hahaha stating opinions that his acting is terrible is not bullying. He's an actor, and he should be criticized for his acting. Now if someone called him ugly or bashed his personality, then you can call that person out.

      • shut up hater imagine if you were both a idol and actor that so much pressure plus all the hate people like you are what make the internet toxic keep it to yourself tf,

      • It's not bullying. It's an opinion shared by many. He is pretty, he seems like a nice guy, but his acting is honestly cringey.

  • Congrats on Chaeunwoo's 2020 role as Lee Suho and other casts who are filming at the moment. The first episode schedule in Dec 2 if there's not a delay of tvN program time table. The webtoon writer said she draw Suho out of Eunwoo's appearance so Excited to watch Eunwoo handsome role no matter what.

  • He Cant Act. Worst actot ever. his acting' s so one dimensional in My Gangnam ID. but at least he is pretty. Prettier than the Female lead.

  • Cha Eun Woo can act depends on the character or his role, he did good in Gangnam Beauty but only that drama, otherwise it's a dissapointment.

  • I think CEW did a good job as Prince Yirim. Some commentators are too harsh on him. Regardless, he fits the webtoon character that none of your oppas will be suitable. ? Youth dramas are not for your age if you dislike this genre!!

    • Nope. These comments are vanilla compared to knetizens comments on his acting during his stint in that sageuk drama. Especially funny was the term "Nostril Acting" coined for him. He expressed his emotions by how big the nostrils grew. Angry/shocked - most widened nostril. Its a double whammy for CEW cos its not just his foot acting that puts people off. Its also his delivery of lines and off enunciation. It will take a miracle for him to get any better soon. If his company or he himself has a desire to improve and be taken seriously as an actor. Better to go into long drama as a supporting actor, bask in learning to play off other characters and immerse himself into the surrounding and lastly pick up some good acting tips and skills from veteran actors

      • The "Nostril Acting" was referring to the first 2 episodes of that drama which is his first sageuk; afterwards all comments were praises. As much as you don't want others to comment on your 15 years of kdrama watching experience, you must admit you are no longer at the age to watch youth dramas. Have you read the webtoon may I ask? Some genres are just not suited for you. Just admit if you are at a weekend drama fan, and let others enjoy CEW. You do not have to comment everytime there is a CEW drama or drama. You cannot stop a young and pretty oppa to getting casted, Lydia. YThere are so many dramas to choose from nowadays. Your comments just come across as bitter and not in trend.

    • Exactly.Many of ur oppas doesn't suit the role of suho,cha eun woo has his own charms,look at his smile before u comment,and "my ID is gangnam beauty"isn't the only drama he did,refer to his other works,I'm sure he is gonna do a great job in this drama too.....
      Waiting fr True Beauty.?

  • As a fan of the webtoon I immediately cast Euwoo as that character in my head I was excited when he got the part I frankly have seen everything he's done ASTRO television shows to movies the guy is a Charming person and yes he played a very stiff introvert in ID but the BL scene in top management is hilarious and one of a kind! the whole webtoon is fluffy entertainment and I'm here for it!
