However, some characters are genuinely unlikable or forgettable, but they do not hinder the overall message of the story. touched by how it shows the reality that I had to encounter on a daily basis. She feels ready to take on the world for the first time, and. I liked the development of the characters. After she goes under the knife, she comes out looking like the beautiful woman she has always dreamed of becoming. You can easily read what their motivations are for each action. This romantic comedy chronicles the life of Mirae, who has always believed that her life would be better if she were born more beautiful. Each noteworthy character has a very defined characteristic about them. The characters are decently well-written. She, like many of the other characters in the story, are plagued by the societal beauty standards that pressure women into making life-changing decisions. The main character is what I would like to call the "victim" of the story, having changed her face entirely. The webtoon artist and creator of the comic My ID is Gangnam Beauty got candid about her thoughts on the upcoming Korean drama remake. The main character who despite getting surgery to become beautiful is still treated poorly for not being "natural" and a "plastic monster." However, despite this, she must learn that she, as well as other female characters, are not to be judged solely on their looks because they are much more than an item to be displayed. The plot takes an interesting take on the whole "ugly girl turned beautiful" trope because the whole premise of the story actually turns it on its end.
Gangnam Beauty is an interesting story about the beauty standards (particularly in Korea) that affect women.
