When Does She Was Pretty Season 2 Come Out? Is It Renewed?

What is She Was Pretty about?

She Was Pretty hinges on a premise that Korean television loves: two people separated by time and circumstance who meet again as different versions of themselves. Here, a woman and man who were close as children reconnect at the same fashion magazine, but she's now overweight and insecure while he's become handsome and successful. The show takes this familiar setup and actually does something with it, treating her transformation from invisible to seen not as a simple confidence boost but as a genuine reckoning with how the world treats people based on appearance.

The tone sits somewhere between workplace comedy and romantic melodrama, which shouldn't work but often does. There's humor in the magazine setting, in workplace dynamics and misunderstandings, but the show doesn't shy away from real hurt. When the female lead realizes her childhood friend doesn't recognize her, the moment lands with actual weight. The show is aware of its own premise in a way that keeps it from feeling manipulative, even as it plays with all the expected reversals and revelations that this kind of story demands.

Audiences found it engaging enough to make it a ratings hit during its run, and the IMDb score suggests viewers who watched it generally felt satisfied. The chemistry between the two leads helps anchor what could have been a disposable romance, and the supporting cast of coworkers gets enough screen time to develop their own arcs rather than just exist as obstacles.

Compared to other Korean dramas about second chances at love, She Was Pretty is lighter and more focused on the present-day relationship than on mining tragedy from the past. It commits to the fashion magazine world as more than just set dressing, which gives it texture. The show knows exactly what it is and doesn't pretend to be more serious than it is, which is its actual strength.

Is She Was Pretty renewed or cancelled?

Why did She Was Pretty end?

She Was Pretty wrapped after a single 16-episode season, which was the plan from the start. Korean dramas, especially on broadcast networks like MBC, typically operate on this structure: a defined story arc that plays out over roughly four months, then the show concludes. This isn't failure or cancellation. It's how the format works. The show ran from September to November 2015, told its complete narrative about a woman who reconnects with an old flame while hiding her changed appearance, and ended when that story reached its resolution.

The series found solid footing with viewers and critics, landing a respectable 7.5 rating on IMDb. It had enough cultural resonance to spawn international remakes, which speaks to the strength of its premise and execution. But there was no expectation or pressure for renewal. Korean broadcast dramas don't typically get extended beyond their planned run unless there's a specific decision to do so, and nothing in the show's trajectory or industry context suggested that would happen here. The story had been told. The network and production team had accomplished what they set out to do in the time slot they'd been given.
