Fact Check: Is K-Drama “True Beauty” Season 2 Really Coming Soon?
Is a second season of K-Drama True Beauty on the way? Let’s fact-check.
Rom-com True Beauty aired from December 9, 2020, to February 4, 2021. It starred Moon Ga Young, ASTRO‘s Cha Eunwoo (also romanized as Cha Eun Woo), and Hwang In Youp as Jugyeong, Suho, and Seo Jun, respectively.
As it was released during the height of the pandemic, it provided an escape for many viewers. It was adapted from the Naver Webtoon of the same name by Yaongyi. At the time, the Webtoon was far from complete, so some fans were curious about how the K-Drama could adapt and give a conclusion when its source material was unfinished.
Yet, the K-Drama True Beauty paid respects to the original while giving fresh content and a wholesome ending. Still, some fans, especially those who read the Webtoon, were left wanting more.
This week, rumors have circulated that Season 2 of True Beauty was “confirmed” via social media. A video posted on TikTok by @kdrama_flex went viral with 429.8K views at the time of writing.
Fans of the K-Drama were naturally excited to hear that the K-Drama would return for a second season. Especially since the Webtoon recently concluded, it appeared to be perfect timing.
But how true are these rumors?
The original TikTok used a screenshot of the three-week-old video from Kdrama Flex’s YouTube account. While it claimed to be a trailer for Season 2 of True Beauty, it actually only summarized Season 1. Additionally, the narrator alleged that a second season was on its way but gave no release date. However, the description said December 2023.
Various sources report differently. Some claimed that production for Season 2 began in 2021, shortly after Season 1 concluded. Recent reports have suggested that a second season is possible since the Webtoon finished, but there is little to no information. Most importantly, there is zero confirmation from official sources or those who previously worked on the K-Drama.
The production of ‘True Beauty’ season 2 began in April 2021. The series is produced by Studio Dragon and Bon Factory, and directed by Kim Sang-hyub. The filming is expected to take place in various locations in South Korea.

Since the webtoon is already complete, many are anticipating whether the sequel for the drama is also in the works.
However, Yaongyi is yet to confirm if ‘True Beauty’ Season 2 is ready for production, if the original cast will reprise their roles, and who are the new characters to be introduced in the possible second installment of the famous K-drama.

True Beauty fans are still anticipating Season 2 so much that baseless rumors continually circulate. Some even share edits or clips from the actors’ other works, suggesting it’s True Beauty 2.

One thing is for certain that many would tune in if a second season were to air, and there is more that could be explored. However, Season 1 attempted to give a happy ending to everyone, so Season 2 is actually needed.
