‘True Beauty’, predictably stereotyped (2020)

Creo que nunca antes había tenido sentimientos tan encontrados mientras veía un kdrama. ‘True Beauty’ no ha aportado nada nuevo, ha sido predecible hasta decir basta y aún así ha conseguido hablar de temas muy complejos como son el acoso escolar, el suicidio, la autoestima, la imagen perversa e irreal que tenemos de la belleza en los tiempos que corren, y lo ha hecho mientras llevaba a sus protagonistas del mundo adolescente al adulto. ‘True Beauty’, predeciblemente estereotipada (2020)

‘True Beauty’ has been one of those phenomena that has raised passions and flooded social networks throughout its broadcast period.No one expected it, but everyone saw him coming.Based on a well -known webtoon with the same name, the series has a very specific target, passionate and faithful to equal parts, which has turned to the plot and the characters.But the question that many will be asked, and that of course I throw here is: Is it so much?The answer is: not really.

It is not in cinematographic, nor stylistic aspects.Nor is anything from the other world in terms of originality and interpretations, it hurts who hurts, they are rather soft.That emotion that bristles the skin is missing, which tears you because you are able to feel the tension, fear or joy of the characters.It is fought, yes, in the soundtrack, and by the account that brought him (seeing who are the interpreters of the songs), he used, at least, nailing this, and of course, in what we have mentioned that they areThe themes he plays while presenting the story of the protagonist.

After watching beauty videos on the Internet, Im Joo Kyung (Moon Ga Young), a shy comic fan dominates the art of makeup and sees how her social position shoots when she becomes the most beautiful girl in her school, literally, literally,From overnight.But her elite status will be short duration?How long can she keep her "real" of her in secret?

The lies have very short legs and are very difficult to maintain.They generate stress in those who live them and pass invoice in the personal relationships of those who are affected by them.Soon Im Joo Kyung will learn it, who in an attempt to leave behind a cruel and intolerable situation will use deception as a means of survival.The problem of that deception, of that mask, is that she herself becomes her worst enemy.

Stereotypes run without concert by the footage.Life in the institute is as real as fantastic, something that I should praise because I did not think it was possible to create.It is fantastic for unreal, not by great.The place where the plot takes place looks like elitist, but it is not.Teachers is laughing, pathetic and unprofessional, except for an exceptional case, where some humanity and passion for a profession that leaves a mark inexorably in all of us is reflected.

Students and their staging is presented as the social ecosystem it is.That place where, based on rehearsal and error, almost all we learn that being social beings is much more complicated than we expected.The institute that is shown is a ruthless jungle that lives based on superflites and rumors.The place where you learn, experience and escar, and from which you can learn a lot or nothing.With all this in mind and as a scenario for what we are about to see, we know those involved, and quickly, we take a position, although life is not unidirectional or human beings have only two dimensions.That is the enjoyable ‘True Beauty’, which warm and tragic, but above all it is full of life.

The protagonists

The cast, very young, although already shower in the interpretive tasks, does not offer the passion that we might have seen.Moon Ga Young, despite having them all with him, thanks to the role that is offered as im Joo Kyung, he does not succeed with any of her expressions.Neither in the moments of the greatest weakness of the protagonist we are emotionally dragged, nor in her happiness we see a glimpse of reality to rejoice for her.She is flat, almost robotics in all scenes.

Cha Eun Woo gives life to Lee his Ho a reserved young man who is worshiped by all and who lives isolated on that crystal throne that puts him over all in the adolescent social hierarchy.Read your HO, you will soon meet IM Joo Kyung, and a waterfall of emotions will unleash each other.The actor manages to convey much more than his female counterpart, and still, taking into account the background of his history, we cannot launch the cry to heaven, since it is rather enough than his work notable here.

Han Seo Jun, Hwang in Yeob, a tall and attractive boy, with airs of Macarra, who melts with his warmth and compassion, is that third character in discord.He is perhaps, who gives some rhythm to the series.His role, being so changing is highly entertaining and manages to tear off the smile and even laugh while we see ‘True Beauty’.Within that main cast we have to talk about Park Yoo Na, who gives life to Kang his Jin, the girl that no one coughs, but who lives a reality very different from what the social image of her reflects.

This central nucleus of teenage characters will allow us to know the secondary through family dynamics and friendship circles.In them we will find a huge variety of personalities and social representations that will be enormously illustrative within the plot of the series.

Dive, only then make sense

Unfortunately, many will stay alone on the surface.‘True Beauty’ needs a strong work of introspection and empathy with all the characters to do more than bad.The conversations that put the issue of beauty and how it affects us daily and directly, are usually superfluous, and that cannot happen with this kdrama.

The true force that hides the series is given in the reaction of its protagonists.The adult characters play, all, except one of them, an enormously harmful and negative role.They are nothing more than a faithful reflection of what we are in our day to day, but on a few occasions these attitudes are planted, and sometimes they remain unsolved or answered and that normalizes unacceptable behavior, that against which fightsThe screenwriter constantly.

It is exceptional, that yes, the level of maturity and critical and moral sense that is offered to the male protagonists, have seo jun and read their ho, should be our reality, not those gentlemen in bright armor, who are supposed to be nothing there are nothingmore than in our imaginary.It was time to be valued and in front of a audience clearly and with a united front this type of behavior and way of thinking.

The beam of light, although shown very faint, we find it in the protagonist, who fell as a stepmother advances emotionally and psychologically through its own acceptance.Personally, I think this comes slightly and afternoon in the development of the plot, since many without treating or saying out loud, and that fails to show the enormous effort that the character makes to love him.

You have to dive and swim, leaving behind how adorable the protagonists are, the romance of the institute, and that madness in the form of a roller coaster that is teenage life.If you are not caught in the melodramatic pastel tone he presents of her, and you see her being very critical of her, perhaps her furniture from her.If not, you will be seeing a quite common kdrama that will have nothing you have not seen before.

It is difficult to fight a monster that projects revenues of more than $ 1,655.5 million annually.The cosmetics and beauty industry will not stop growing and continuing to be present in our culture.It depends on each one of us, that is an industry that contributes positively to our lives and those of those around us, to take care of the environment and of course respect animal life, perhaps we will find true beauty.
