Every day since his 18th birthday, Woo-Jin has woken up in a different physical body. Though he's developed multiple routines to handle his changing age, race, and gender identity day-to-day, his quiet life is interrupted when he falls for Yi-Soo, a young woman who works in a furniture store.

What are critics saying?
The New York Times by Helen T. Verongos
The film, pleasing and inoffensive, often amuses as it wrestles with the nature of familiarity as well as the question of where beauty resides.
Los Angeles Times by Katie Walsh
It's satisfying, charming and surprising — a film that keeps its supernatural elements grounded in reality, with the focus on the spirituality of true love.
The film reaches a narrative and emotional impasse once it gets past the will-they-or-won’t-they stage.
Village Voice by Michael Nordine
Worse than the latent silliness of such a premise is how little the filmmakers ultimately do with the world of narrative possibilities it presents; in attempting to show the universality of love, The Beauty Inside succeeds in showing the opposite.
