The other thing was, I wasn’t really into Cha Eun Woo’s character. People said that she has said she got her nose done.) I think it’s the way they did her makeup… (I didn’t do this till now (like 3 months later while I’m watching Graceful Family) So if you look at pictures of Im Soo Hyang when she was younger, she basically looks the same. I think this distracted me from the drama, if ever-so-slightly. So I found myself trying to figure out Im Soo Hyang’s face, whether she got plastic surgery or not. So who’s to say that the people who watched it weren’t like me: wanting to know what happens, but also wanting to fast forward to the end. But ratings aren’t the type of ratings we think of like, say, rottentomatoes ratings… They’re more like % viewership. Okay, well, let’s take a step back and think about the meaning of ratings-because actually I never really questioned “ratings” before.

Okay.Īpparently this drama (quotingish from wikipedia) is one of the highest-rated cable dramas ever, and it’s received praise for its portrayal of social issues in Korea revolving around beauty standards and superficiality. Like a complete face transformation to the point where she was unrecognizable by even the people closest to her. However, unlike the webtoon, our main character Kang Mi Rae (played by Im Soo Hyang) got surgery before starting college. It was about a girl who in her childhood/early teen years was made fun of for being “ugly”. I was guessing that this would be like True Beauty, the webtoon.
