Win Metawin and Baifern are set to star in the Thai remake of the hit Korean webtoon My ID is Gangnam Beauty.

It can be recalled that Korean stars Cha Eun-woo and Im Soo-hyang headlined the K-Drama adaptation of the webtoon with the same name in 2018. The series tells the story of a college student who undergoes cosmetic surgery to avoid being ridiculed by her bullies but it backfires as her peers begin to mock her artificial beauty.

GMMTV released the teaser for the series on Tuesday, November 23, much to the excitement of the fans. The Thai version is called Beauty Newbie.

In the series, Win plays the role of Karin Sayapisit while Baifern portrays the role of Prima Paspimol. Joining Win and Baifern in the series are Great Sapol and Fah Yongwaree.
