True Beauty Vol. 02
A smash hit webcomic from Korea!
Mastering the art of makeovers, Jugyeong Lim navigates high school, and then college while her self-esteem, romantic life, and career are constantly in flux…
Jugyeong Lim has been treated unfairly by her family and bullied by her enemies due to being perceived as ugly. She learns how to use makeup by binge-watching online video tutorials. As she slowly masters the art of makeovers, her dramatic transformation leads to her overwhelming popularity and fame. Armed with her newfound beauty, Jugyeong is in a love triangle with two of the most handsome boys at school: Suho, the stoic mystery man who knows her secret and Seojun, the “bad boy.” Jugyeong must balance the pitfalls of her popularity with the newfound pressures of young adulthood.
In this second book of the series, Jugyeong and Suho begin to develop feelings for each other. Does Jugyeong finally have a boyfriend? But then a new guy, Seojun, steps into the scene, and he’s seen Jugyeong’s true face! Will Jugyeong be able to keep Seojun from revealing her secret?
