When the world was locked indoors and entertainment became a lifeline, a handful of shows rose to unexpected global fame, the kind people did not just watch, but genuinely felt. Among that era’s undeniable breakout titles was Korean drama True Beauty that found its audience through word of mouth, social media edits, and an emotional pull that resonated beyond language and borders. Years have passed since, trends have shifted, but the affection surrounding this series has not dimmed.

And now, with yearning for comfort watches peaking, the offering is finally headed to Netflix, ready to captivate viewers all over again.

The 2020–2021 K-drama phenomenon True Beauty is finally heading to Netflix, and viewers will not have to wait long as the title lands on the platform on December 11. Until now, the show could only be found on Viki and Amazon Prime Video, so its Netflix debut is a significant moment for longtime and new audiences alike. With Moon Ga-young, Cha Eun-woo, Hwang In-youp, Park Yoo-na, and Jang Hye-jin leading the cast, the 16-episode romantic comedy became one of the most adored lighthearted watches during lockdown.

True Beauty follows Lim Ju-kyung, an insecure high-school girl whose world turns around when she learns the art of makeup and becomes a people’s favorite instantly, even gaining popularity at school. However, behind her newfound confidence lies her biggest fear: Being seen without makeup. The only person who knows her real face is Lee Soo-ho, a seemingly cold boy who is far kinder than he lets on. As they slowly forge a connection, an unexpectedly tender love begins. This K-drama is not the only one set for a Netflix release next month, though.

With True Beauty and Pro Bono joining the line-up, Netflix’s K-drama vault looks set to grow stronger, cementing the platform as a home where comfort, escapism, and heartfelt stories continue to thrive.
