True Beauty, Volume One by Yaongyi
2.75
2.5-3 stars ⭐️ idk I’m conflicted
~
💗so…okay I read this is one sitting & I found it entertaining
💗I’m hoping in the next volume our FMC Jugyeong starts to gain some more confidence without her makeup & get some recognition
💗this book doesn’t send a good message about accepting yourself (at least not yet…maybe it will in future volumes/episodes) —even her own brother is like yeah no one will like you without makeup 😵💫
💗this can feel definitely relatable about feeling insecure about how you look growing up & feeling like you need to mask it with things to make you seem “flawless” like a ton of makeup—I’ve definitely been there…but I’m hoping we move away from that thought narrative soon
💗I really enjoyed her and Suho at the comic store & her recommending him what to read, him admitting he knows who she is with & without makeup & them starting to spend time together (the arcade was cute)
💗another “pretty girl” I think starts to feel threatened by Jugyeong or sees her as competition idk but she’s messing with her & I don’t trust her
💗the art was pretty btw
💗I’ll be reading the next to see how this goes wish me luck 🤞🏼
