ANNE-SOPHIE Verdel rated ★ 7/10
Encore une bonne série coréenne qui me rappelle Hana Yori Dango dans sa structure (la fille pauvre entourée de beaux garçons riches) c’est plein de clichés, mais c’est drôle et parfois la critique de la société matérialiste et obsédée par la réussite et la beauté est plus réussie qu’il n’y paraît. J’ai beaucoup aimé la scène avec les raviolis 😉
Synopsis
After being bullied and discriminated because of her ugly looks, a high school girl transforms herself into a gorgeous "goddess" and quickly rises to fame after mastering the art of makeup via online tutorial videos.
