After captivating fans as a webtoon and then as a K-drama, Yaongyi's beloved series True Beauty has reached new heights with its anime adaptation. Produced by Studio N and Cocktail Media, the anime brought the story’s signature mix of humor, heart, and emotional depth to a new audience earlier this year. Season one ended on an unforgettable cliffhanger, leaving fans desperate for more, and now their wishes have come true. The official announcement of season two has already sparked excitement, promising even more drama and heartfelt moments ahead.

True Beauty's anime team recently confirmed the renewal on their X . The announcement included a festive New Year’s illustration of Jugyeong, Suho, and Seojun, each dressed in elegant Korean hanbok. While no release date has been revealed, the series' quick renewal hints at a relatively short wait for fans. The buzz surrounding the announcement proves the anime's success in faithfully adapting the beloved webtoon, leaving viewers eager for what comes next.

Staying True to the Webtoon

Why True Beauty's Anime Needed a Second Season

Unlike the 16-episode K-drama, the True Beauty anime sticks closely to the webtoon's story. While this faithfulness has been a treat for longtime fans, it also left the story incomplete after just 13 episodes. Season one barely scratched the surface of the webtoon, covering only 60 of its 200+ chapters. The show’s cliffhanger finale made it clear that there was much more to explore in Jugyeong’s journey of self-discovery and romance.
