True Beauty Season 2: Everything We Know (And Secretly Hope For)

If you’ve ever lost sleep over the love triangle between Jugyeong, Suho, and Seojun, you’re not alone. True Beauty, the wildly popular K-drama based on the webtoon by Yaongyi, has become a global obsession since its premiere in late 2020. With stunning visuals, relatable themes of self-esteem, and a swoon-worthy cast, the show has left fans craving more. And now, with whispers of a possible Season 2 or at least a new anime adaptation those hopes are higher than ever.

But is it really happening? Here’s everything we know so far and a few things we desperately want.

Where We Left Off: The Ending That Left Us Hanging

Season 1 followed Jugyeong, a high school girl who masters makeup to hide her insecurities and find acceptance in a world obsessed with beauty. Along the way, she gets entangled in a heart-tugging triangle between the brooding Suho and the charming bad-boy Seojun. While the drama ended with some closure, fans were divided. Many rooted for Seojun, only to watch him walk away in heartbreak. Others wondered what came next for Jugyeong and Suho's fragile romance.

The finale tied up some loose ends, but let’s be honest it didn’t feel like the full story.

True Beauty Season 2: Is It Official?

Here’s the truth: as of now, there is no official confirmation from tvN or Studio Dragon regarding a live-action Season 2. Rumors have flooded the internet, especially after fan made trailers and TikToks went viral, teasing dramatic returns and new plot twists. But sadly, these are purely speculative (and a little too good to be true).

However, there is some exciting news.

In January 2025, Crunchyroll officially announced that the True Beauty anime adaptation is getting a Season 2. This version follows the original webtoon more closely and may offer fans a different take on the beloved characters possibly including storylines the K-drama didn’t cover.

While we wait for more details about the anime, the possibility of a return to the live-action world remains uncertain but definitely not impossible.

What Fans Want From Season 2 (And Why It Needs to Happen)

It’s not just about romance (though we all secretly want Seojun to get his happy ending). True Beauty touched on deeper issues bullying, self worth, toxic beauty standards and Season 2 has the potential to dive even further.

Here’s what fans are hoping for:

A redemption arc for Seojun, maybe with a new love interest.

More screen time for Jugyeong’s personal growth beyond romance.

Flashbacks or backstories about secondary characters like Soo-A and Heegyeong.

A realistic portrayal of college life and the pressures of adulthood.

And let’s not forget the chemistry between the leads is too good to waste. Moon Ga-young, Cha Eun-woo, and Hwang In-yeop delivered iconic performances that fans still can’t stop talking about.

Hope Is Still Beautiful

While we might not have a live-action Season 2 yet, the world of True Beauty is far from over. With the anime continuation and growing international fandom, the pressure on studios to bring back the original cast is real.

Until then, we’ll keep rewatching Jugyeong’s journey, cheering for Seojun’s stolen glances, and refreshing the news for any update.

Behind the Scenes of True Beauty Season 2

Even though the live-action Season 2 hasn't been officially confirmed, several behind the-scenes photos and fan-recorded clips have sparked a buzz online. Moments of Moon Ga-young laughing with Cha Eun-woo, or Hwang In-yeop rehearsing lines on what appears to be a set, quickly went viral. Whether it's part of an official project or simply a friendly reunion, fans continue to hope for something more.

There’s no denying the cast still shares the same incredible chemistry that made Season 1 so beloved. If Season 2 does begin filming for real, the wait might just be more than worth it.
