She Was Pretty (2015) **She Was Pretty** follows the heartwarming journey of **Kim Hye-jin**, a cheerful young woman who was once known for her beauty during childhood. As she grows older, however, her appearance changes dramatically after inheriting her father's frizzy hair and freckles, while her family's financial struggles force her to give up the comfortable life she once enjoyed. Despite these setbacks, Hye-jin remains optimistic and works hard to rebuild her life, even though she often feels insecure about her appearance. Meanwhile, **Ji Sung-joon**, Hye-jin's childhood best friend, experiences the opposite transformation. Once an overweight and timid boy who relied on Hye-jin for confidence, he grows into a successful and handsome editor after moving overseas. Years later, Sung-joon returns to Korea and contacts Hye-jin, hoping to reunite with the girl who had always encouraged him. Embarrassed by how much she has changed, Hye-jin loses confidence and asks her beautiful best friend, **Min Ha-ri**, to meet Sung-joon in her place while pretending to be her. The harmless lie quickly grows into a complicated situation. Hye-jin unexpectedly begins working as an editor at **The Most**, a struggling fashion magazine where Sung-joon has become the new deputy editor. Since he does not recognize her, the two frequently clash at work. Sung-joon's demanding leadership and perfectionist attitude frustrate Hye-jin, but as they spend more time together, he gradually begins to admire her kindness, determination, and genuine personality without realizing she is the childhood friend he has been searching for. At the same time, Hye-jin develops a close friendship with **Kim Shin-hyuk**, a playful and mysterious senior editor whose humor hides a compassionate heart. Shin-hyuk constantly supports Hye-jin, encourages her to believe in herself, and slowly develops romantic feelings for her. His presence creates an emotional love triangle as Hye-jin struggles between protecting her secret and following her heart. Meanwhile, Ha-ri finds herself torn between loyalty to her best friend and her own growing feelings, leading to emotional conflicts that test their lifelong friendship. Beyond its romance, **She Was Pretty** explores themes of self-worth, confidence, friendship, forgiveness, and the idea that true beauty comes from kindness and character rather than physical appearance. As hidden identities are finally revealed, misunderstandings give way to honesty, allowing every major character to grow emotionally. With its blend of comedy, heartfelt romance, workplace drama, and memorable supporting characters, the series delivers an uplifting story about accepting oneself, chasing dreams, and discovering that genuine love recognizes the person within rather than outward appearances.
