Beautiology 101(2016)

Beautiology 101 is a South Korean series following Lee Bongju, a 20-year-old facialist and skincare entrepreneur who enrolls at K-Beauty School, a prestigious institution dedicated to the art and science of beauty. Bongju believes skincare trumps makeup—thick cosmetics, she argues, accelerate aging—but she joins the school hoping to expand her client base and grow her homemade skincare business. At K-Beauty School, where attendance requires wearing makeup, Bongju discovers a world far more complex than she expected. The series explores the history, technology, and marketing behind beauty culture while following her transformation from skincare purist to someone navigating the intricate makeup industry. It's a lighthearted dive into Korean beauty standards and the unexpected lessons waiting in an unconventional classroom.
