So I'm Not Handsome(2008)

So I'm Not Handsome is a comedy series following Xiao Zhuang, a university student whose entire self-image crumbles when he discovers an uncomfortable truth. Raised by doting parents who constantly praised his appearance, Xiao Zhuang enters college convinced he's attractive. His confidence shatters when a girl he's interested in rejects him outright. When his friends finally level with him, Xiao Zhuang learns he's been living a comfortable lie. The series chronicles his journey as he grapples with this revelation and navigates the messy realities of dating, friendship, and self-worth in the university years. Blending humor with genuine moments of self-discovery, the show explores how perception shapes identity and what happens when reality doesn't match the story we've been told about ourselves.
