​"Goddess Advent gained attention for its stunning artwork and realistic character portrayals. Its detailed depiction of the characters' appearances and the overall lifelike style became a hallmark of the webtoon, influencing the art styles of other webtoons. As the series grew in popularity both domestically and internationally, it sparked numerous discussions in online communities and inspired other works with similar artistic approaches. The drama adaptation, True Beauty, introduced many changes compared to the original webtoon. New characters were added, and significant events and character dynamics were altered. For example, the first meeting between Lim Ju-kyung and Lee Su-ho takes place on a rooftop in the drama instead of a comic book store, as in the original. Additionally, the accident involving Lee Su-ho and Han Seo-jun, as well as the reveal of Lim Ju-kyung's secret, unfolds differently in the drama. Notably, Lee Su-ho is portrayed as a self-defense expert with exceptional fighting skills in the adaptation, which deviates from the original character's depiction. A major highlight of the drama was the casting of Cha Eun-woo as Lee Su-ho. Known for his striking resemblance to the webtoon's character, his casting created a buzz among fans and viewers. Cha Eun-woo's physical similarity to Lee Su-ho had been noted even before the announcement, and the news of his role further heightened anticipation for the drama."​
