    You have to pull her hair back into a ponytail to complete the ugly look. Without that, how is she supposed to remove her glasses and let her hair down in slo-mo revealing the inner hot chick nobody could see before?

      @@p.a.w.sthetravelinggamer6750 It's more of an Illusion. On screen we can tell that the actress is an attractive person, but for the sake of immersion if the character looking a bit dorkly and the character has low esteem, it's easy for our minds to play along with what the story wants us to see.
      Ponytails are attractive feature ( Because I, as a guy have one.) but there's a body language to it. Ponytails can symbolism submission, sometimes meaning sporty, other times a low ponytail sends signals of a chic personality, but for the sake of these kinds of movie it's mostly means to be in submission of something like teachers, your peers, even your parents.
      The character will also show submissive traits and looked defeat. So if you pair a character's submission to their reality and their low-self esteem you can make an attractive women or men seem unattractive because of their low confidence and with the way they present themselves. So around the climax of movie, when it's prom, party, or some sort of event the character will then take out their ponytail symbolism to the audience that the character has gained confidence in themselves and has matured.
      This logic also follows with a character with long hair, dramatically or even casually cutting it short. (Which I hated so much.)

    I always wanted them to, just once, actually cast an actor/actress who wasn't conventionally attractive to play the "ugly and unpopular" character. Just one single time. It's not like there aren't thousands of actors who have the talent and the drive but aren't perfect 10s, they just don't get cast in movies. You know they don't even have to be ugly, just not a damn model.

Don't look at other People, don't look at wath other People do or have, it dosen't matter! Even if you are in Tears and on the Ground, you are here to finde God, he can give you the only real Love, not the fake Love of this World. Once you learn that, its over and you are truly free.

      True, Elizabeth! But filmmakers also make these girls "ugly" by giving them bad posture, a mistrusting facial expression, and a lifeless walk. When "the change" happens and their posture, facial and walk suddenly show hopefulness, confidence, and energy (with some vulnerability), suddenly they're attractive! It was never about the hair and the glasses. It was about an emotionally closed-off person opening up--usually because someone "finally" believed in them--and convinced them to start sharing their true self/life energy with the world. IMO. Do you think that's true?

    Plot twist : He is talking about his personal life and the guy he is referring to is actually his crush and this interview just looked like his crush so he wants the interviewee to be the lead no matter what ..

      honestly to me that movie was pretty solid, it didn't felt like another stereotypical teen drama, plus her struggles didn't come from her being the ugly girl so it didn't felt disingenuous to me

    I just watched this korean drama. It's one of those very short dramas that are like 12 mins long and have like only 6/7 episodes . It's called "Secret Queen makers" or something like that.
    And I realised the template for "ugly" girls is basically some kinda curly messy looking hair, tied into a pony tail. Glasses and very badly dressed.
    Like the whole time I was watching the drama and she and everyone around her kept referring to her as ugly I got seriously frustrated. Like all she needed was some self confidence, a nice hairdo and a change of clothes (like seriously those clothes belonged to the bin or something).
    Obviously they do this because if they were to choose an actual ugly person it would be totally difficult to do the whole transformation scene and the actress might have self confidence issues and whatnot...

    I like that you portrayed the actress as observant and considerate, and modest toward the end.
    Too many people- myself included, I'm afraid- likely would have tried to make her a really oblivious jerk who assumes she's got the job.

    *Puts glasses on her*
    "You got the part"
    that's so true they always make the "weird, ugly" girl as someone with brown hair and glasses.
    As someone myself who has both I'm offended.
