Below are four reasons why you should tune in to the upcoming premiere of “True Beauty”!
Moon Ga Young, Cha Eun Woo, and Hwang In Yeob bring webtoon characters to life
The three actors have gained huge attention with the news of their casting due to their similarities with the original webtoon characters. Moon Ga Young plays Lim Ju Gyeong, who will attract viewers with her bright and optimistic energy and lovable self when she overcomes her insecurities in her own way. Cha Eun Woo will play the role of the perfect Lee Su Ho who possesses everything that everyone all wants from stunning visuals to top academic records and basketball skills. As a character who doesn’t show interest in anyone, he’ll captivate viewers as he shows both a cold-hearted attitude and an innocent puppy-like appeal. Finally, Hwang In Yeob plays Han Seo Jun, an untamable rebel with a surprisingly warm heart that contrasts with his outside looking.
Viewers are highly expected the explosive synergy between the three actors. With Lim Ju Gyeong at the center, Lee Su Ho and Han Seo Jun will clash with their different charms, making viewers’ hearts flutter with their exciting chemistry.
