She Was Pretty

As a girl, Kim Hye-jin was a pretty and popular child from a wealthy family. Over time, her parents' publishing company goes bankrupt and she loses much of her appeal. Before all that, she meets Ji Sung-joon, a shy young man with very low self-esteem who has feelings for her. When he confesses his feelings, he leaves for abroad. Years later, Sung-joon returns to Seoul as a successful, attractive and self-assured editor and arrives at the newsroom of the fashion magazine The Most. Hye-jin, ashamed of her appearance, asks her best friend Min Ha-ri to pose as her at the first meeting. This is the premise of this romantic comedy aired on MBC, starring Hwang Jung-eum and Park Seo-joon. The conflict revolves around whether appearance can change each person's feelings and how long such a lie can last.
