True Beauty tells the story of Lim Ju Gyung, a shy girl whose social standing skyrockets after mastering the art of makeup via YouTube tutorials. But, will her elite status be short-lived, and how long can she keep her "real self" a secret? What about that cute boy she likes? What happens if he finds out the truth?

The webtoon is known for its well-drawn characters and the actors portraying them in the drama certainly look the part!

Moon Ga Young is in talks to join as the female lead, Lim Ju Gyung, and is positively considering the offer at the time of writing. Her long brown curly locks, big round eyes and slim figure are all perfect for playing Lim Ju Gyung, if she does take up the offer.

Now, all that's left to wonder is who will be playing the tough but secretly caring Han Seo Jun.

As the cast for the drama has not been finalised yet and filming has not started, it seems like we will have to wait a while before the drama airs its first episode.

While waiting, check out the webtoon's official trailer to catch a glimpse of what the drama will look like:

You can also read the webtoon here in English before watching the drama. There are a total of 99 episodes for now, more than enough to keep you excited before the drama starts airing.
