True Beauty" is a romantic comedy about a high school girl, Lim Ju Gyeong, who rises to pretty girl fame after she masters the art of make-up from YouTube. She turns into a goddess because of her makeup skills, but would rather die than reveal her bare face to anyone. It tells her love story with the only boy that saw her without makeup, Lee Su Ho. Lee Su Ho is an attractive and handsome boy who appears cold because of his dark past but is actually very caring. They grow when they meet each other, share their secrets and find love with each other, but can Su Ho make Ju Gyeong find her true beauty?
Both shows about female leads who are insecure about their looks but the male leads help them to be more self confident:
-In true beauty the female lead has a problem with her appearance, so she put makeup to be accepted in society.
-In weightlifting, the female lead thinks that she lost her femininity by lifting barbells.
In both main male leads have dark secrets past but are nice.
Both include love triangle, friendship and college/school theme.

Serinuma Kae is a chubby high school girl who loves BL manga. One day her beloved character dies, and the girl falls into depression. For a long time, she cannot even eat, which leads to significant weight loss. But to her own surprise, the updated Serinuma becomes very popular at school, and she immediately has four handsome admirers at once.
The main characters are both very bubbly characters that you can’t help want to be their friends and cheer for them. The romance in this feels fairly equivalent in regards to making you feel giddy like a schoolgirl. Though, True Beauty has a stronger 2nd Male Lead Syndrome going for it more than this one did. Fair warning. Both these dramas rank #1 (True Beauty) and #2 (CATFK) of my all time favorite K-Dramas.
Like School 2021, True Beauty is a school-based Kdrama.
In True Beauty, there is two boys:
Gong Ki Joon, reminds me of Lee Suho; Although he's not rich and a smart student; but I feel they are similar.
Also, Jung Young Joo reminds me of Han Seo Jun; because like Han Seo Jun, Jung Young Joo is a bad boy with a motorcycle :)
In School 2021, like True Beauty, Jung Young Joo, and Gong Ki Joon were best friends in past and now they are enemies; because of the death of their other friend.
Until now, School 2021 wasn't about beauty problems; but I think we're supposed to have a Love Triangle!
