1. True Beauty
The 2020 tvN rom-com True Beauty is one of the most popular K-dramas of all time. In this drama, Moon Ga Young stars as the lead character Lim Ju Kyung, a high schooler who is insecure about her looks.
Since childhood, she has been suffering in complexity when it comes to her appearance. She was bullied for the same reason in middle school. However, after she masters the art of makeup, Ju Kyung transforms herself into a ‘goddess’. In her new high school, everyone either praises or envies her charming looks.
Here she befriends Lee Su Ho (played by Cha Eun Woo), who is a model high scholar yet has a seemingly cold personality. At the same time, she also crosses paths with Han Seo Jun (played by Hwang In Yeop), a typical ‘bad boy’ character.
While the two boys gradually fall in love with her, she tries to conceal her bare face, navigate her crazy school life, and pursue dreams of becoming a cosmetologist altogether.
2. Tempted
Tempted is a romance melodrama based on the 18th-century French Novel Les Liaisons Dangereuses. It is headlined by Moon Ga Young and Woo Do Hwan. The actress embodies the character of Choi Su Ji, a student president. She is close friends with Kwon Si Hyeon (played by Woo Do Hwan), and Lee Se Ju (played by Kim Min Jae), who is a womanizer.
When Su Ji’s mother announces her engagement with Si Hyeon’s father, the trio comes up with a devised plan. The two friends decide to marry each other to prevent their parents from doing the same.
However, things only end up in veins, and the rest of the drama shows the true faces of this trio, who are hiding behind veils.
3. Link: Eat, Love, Kill
In this fantasy romance drama, Moon Ga Young steps into the shoes of Noh Da Hyun, a job seeker who works as an intern at a restaurant. She crosses paths with Eun Gye Hoon (played by Yeo Jin Goo), a former sous-chef at a high-end restaurant who returns to his childhood locality to open his own eatery.
Since childhood, he and his twin sister, who disappeared 18 years ago, had a special ability to feel each other’s emotions, which they called ‘link’. However, after meeting Noh Da Hyun, he mysteriously starts to experience the phenomenon again. But this time, he starts sharing Da Hyun’s feelings.
4. Find Me in Your Memory
This bittersweet romance drama features Moon Ga Young as Yeo Ha Jin, a model-turned-actress who holds immense power in society as an influencer. She is someone who doesn’t remember her painful past before the fame. Hence, she lives as she pleases.

When the two cross paths, a melancholic romance blooms.

This romance melodrama is all about young adults in the workforce as they try to seek the true meaning of love. Here, Moon Ga Young is a head teller at KCU Bank named Ahn Soo Young.
