True Beauty

Middle schooler Lim Jugyeong is exhausted by the way others judge her for her looks, so she throws herself into learning makeup. Starting with basics like BB cream, lip tint, and eyeliner, she gradually adds mascara, double-eyelid glue, and colored contacts—until her appearance changes so dramatically that the same classmates who once bullied her now treat her like a “high-class” beauty. The attention comes with one strict condition: no one can ever see her bare face.

Jugyeong’s carefully managed school life is shaken when transfer student Lee Suho arrives. Instantly popular and undeniably handsome, Suho also ends up becoming the only classmate to see Jugyeong without her makeup. Desperate to protect her new reputation, Jugyeong scrambles to keep her secret hidden, even as spending time with Suho pushes her to reconsider whether beauty is really something that can be measured by appearance alone.
