Jugyeong Lim is the main protagonist of True Beauty. She debuted at Saebom High School as the pretty girl, hiding her true face from the rest of the school. She is currently an Nstagram influencer and studies film at a local community college.

Appearance

With Makeup

With makeup, Jugyeong is considered very pretty. She has large light brown eyes and long hair. She also has thin, straight eyebrows. While putting on her makeup, the process includes the use of double eyelid glue, brown-toned lenses, an eyelash curler, and mascara for her eyes. For the rest of her face, she uses a brown eyebrow pencil, BB cream/foundation (applied with a BB-cushion), brown eye shadow, brown eyeliner, peach-colored blush, and glossy coral lip-tint. Unless there is a special occasion, Jugyeong does a very natural makeup look that usually deceives others into believing that is her real face.

Without Makeup

Without makeup, many people consider Jugyeong to be unattractive and ugly, including her own family. In middle school. Before she plucked them, she had very bushy, shapeless eyebrows. On her quest to look beautiful, she shaved most of the hairs off, leaving only two very thin lines that she fills in with a brow pencil. She has mono-lids and acne-prone skin. She usually wears her hair in a ponytail or a bun when she doesn't wear makeup and wears loose clothes such as sweatpants and sweatshirts.

Personality

Coming from a good-looking family, Jugyeong is very self-conscious about her looks. In middle school, she was ostracized and bullied for not conforming to the norm's beauty standard. Once she transformed her appearance with makeup and was embraced in high school as the "pretty girl," she became very insecure about her real face. Because her life improved due to her looks, Jugyeong is very worried about other people discovering her bare face. Unless she is alone or with family, she never leaves home without makeup on.

At school, she maintained her "pretty girl" image by faking her personality, such as lying about her music preferences and eating small portions during lunch. At home, she shed her image and reverted to her "geeky" self, spending her time reading comics, listening to alternative rock music, and eating fatty foods like fried chicken.

Overall, she is very kind and generous to others. Because of her warm nature, her friends enjoy her company, despite her naivete. As a very sheltered person, Jugyeong is very gullible and easily influenced by others. Because of her past, Jugyeong believes that romance is only possible for her if her partner is unaware of her true face. She is a little superficial, believing that beauty is correlated to having a good personality. However, she does not discriminate against those who are deemed "less beautiful;" she looks past their imperfections and sees their inner beauty.

In the drama

Family Life

Lim Ju-gyeong was born to Hong Hyeon-soog and Lim Jae-peer as their youngest daughter and second child of the three. Since her birth, Ju-gyeong was discriminated by her family because of her looks. However, even her parents felt that it was because she was backward in studies and they encouraged her to study well.

In elementary school

During Elementary school, the bullying continued and Jugyeong was left without a friend. She put makeup numerous times to win the heart of her classmates but the plan sabotaged. Soon, she came into a conclusion that she is indeed ugly. She compared herself to horror comic ghosts and thus developed an interest in them.

Yongpa High school

Her life turned worse in Yongpa as she was forced to run errands and was mercilessly bullied by Park Sae-mi and Lee Sung-yong. Despite all this, she never cared about this. She had a crush on Wang Hyun-bin, the handsome nutritionist of the canteen. One day, she decided to profess her love for him which she does. Unfortunately, Hyun-bin insults her about her looks and rejects her. Sae-mi and Sung-yong humiliates her publicly for the rejection and takes a video of her getting bullied. Devastated about the turn of events, she decides to commit suicide.

Meeting Lee Su-ho

While Ju-gyeong is about to kill herself, Su-ho witnesses this and saves her. Ju-gyeong who broke her glasses in the process, doesn't recognize him.
