Some kind of love is more than what meets the eye. Get ready to feel your heart throbbing with Beauty Newbie. Adapted from the famous LINE Webtoon My ID is Gangnam Beauty written by Ki Maenggi, it tells the story of a college freshman girl who decides to get plastic surgery after being bullied for how she looks her entire life. The campus is where she meets a guy who doesn't judge anyone by their appearance, but rather by their heart, which leads to the start of a beautiful relationship.
When Liu decides to have a whole-face plastic surgery to stop people from bullying her and looking down on her dream of becoming a perfumer, she finally finds her first ever friend in Faye, an angelic natural beauty. But things don't go her way when she meets Guy, the campus heartthrob who went to the same school as Liu and tells her to be careful of Faye, which gives Liu all the more reason to hate him. Meanwhile, Liu finds comfort in Saint, a graduate student and her next-door neighbor, who is always by her side. Her seemingly peaceful new life takes a turn, however, when a situation calls for her to tell everyone that she's a plastic beauty. People start talking and criticizing, and Liu once again doubts whether even with this beautiful face, she's still not worthy of anything. Will Liu get through this, and what kind of scent will her blooming romance bring?
