's Cha EunWoo is positively considering the lead role of the drama "True Beauty", his casting still needs to be confirmed. The drama is an adaptation from the high school romance webtoon of the same title written by Yaongyi.
The webtoon is popular all over the world (you can read in English here). It tells the growth story of a girl that turns into a goddess thanks to makeup skills. She rather dies than reveals her bare face. It tells her first love story with the only man that saw her without makeup.
The drama will air in the second half of 2020. For more about the characters of the webtoon and drama, you can check our previous article here.
Cha EunWoo if he accepts will act as Lee SuHo a very handsome and perfect high school student. He receives the attention of everyone but is interested in no one. Even if he looks cold on the outside, he is actually kind-hearted and gets shy easily.
But the question is who is going to act as JuGyung? The lead female character is a girl that turned into a popular 'goddess' thanks to her makeup skills.
Fans of the webtoon have been debating online for months about who would be perfect for the role as there is no one officially cast yet.
