True Beauty (2020) Parents Guide: Is the series OK for kids?

Sexual content is mild. It includes several romantic kisses, some of which are lengthy and passionate. Characters, particularly the main couple, often end up in comically awkward, intimate positions. In one scene, a male character is briefly seen shirtless in his boxers for comedic effect; in another, there is an instance of attempted up-skirt photography that is immediately stopped.

Violence is moderate but not graphic. Rival male characters engage in several fistfights with punching and kicking, sometimes resulting in minor cuts or bruises. Bullying is frequently depicted, including pushing, shoving, and having food/water thrown on the victim. There are also two vehicle accidents that result in hospitalization, and some comedic slapstick violence is present.

Language is very mild. Occasional use of translated insults like 'idiot' or 'jerk' may be present in the subtitles, but strong profanity is absent.

Thematic content is strong and central to the series. The plot is driven by themes of lookism, severe bullying, cyberbullying, and low self-esteem. The first episode depicts the protagonist contemplating suicide on a rooftop. A major subplot involves the characters grieving a friend who died by suicide, and another character deals with an abusive father.
