Here is part 2 of my filming locations tour of the Korean drama True Beauty which stars Cha Eun Woo, Hwang In-yeop, and Moon Ga-young.
The drama is based on a webtoon and the story is about a high school girl who has been bullied in her old school. She transferred to another school due to family issues where she mastered the art of makeup and transformed herself into a true beauty.
