Terrible acting and shallow plot ruined what would've been an interesting series

This was my first Kdrama but I was never able to finish it. I knew the show would be kinda shallow because the plot is about a girl who wasn't born beautiful who was tormented at a young age was able to get plastic surgery and change the way people perceived her. While I liked how this drama brought to light South Korean society's obsession with outer beauty i couldn't stand the two main leads. I understand the FL was traumatised by how she was treated pre plastic surgery so i kind of understand her lack of assertiveness but it was still frustrating to watch. The ML is very handsome indeed but his acting and character is so boring, I'd rather just stare at a poster of him. It was actually Sua a side character who was the best actress and had the best storyline.

8/10 - I've never been that fond of "secret" relationships.

I've never been that fond of "secret" relationships. Despite all that I still enjoyed this episode. Kyung Suk is so understanding and to be quite honest I was waiting for this dramatic out burst. I mean first they have to be careful on the way to the lab. Then Mi Rae steps in to tell Soo Ah that Kyung Suk and her are actually dating. (Soo Ah handling that way too well!) Then after that the dramatic sneaky dinner that they don't get to enjoy because classmates show up. Completely hilarious events transpire. Then he tries to take her out and wear masks. To move it to her apartment, only to be rebuffed again because her parents are there. It's really funny, but Kyung Suk patients are amazing. He understands that Mi Rae needs to relaize that what they have is worth the gossip. Mi Rae also needs to understand that people constantly talk about Kyung Suk, maybe even more than when she was bullied. He's okay with it and can move on. Mi Rae will be more in the lime light, but I'm frustrated for Kyung Suk. She needs to get over it. Sneaking about is actually getting her more attention.

Random note Mi Rae is my character soulmate! I always get the cheapest items on the menu as well. I figured she did that from the last time, but it's nice hearing it. I usually stick with water or bring my own drink as well!

We do know more about Soo Ah. Her weight problems and her self doubts. Her plans are starting to unravel and more people are starting to catch on. I feel like there's still a big reveal waiting for her character though. I think she flew to close to the sun. Eun is very nice to not out her right away. She's still trying to get a feel for Soo Ah, maybe even help her.

I also love that Kyung Suk and Mi Rae are a united front. She's aware of what Soo Ah is doing and she's smartened up. Though she's never been dumb. She just wanted to give Soo Ah the benefit of the doubt. I also love the comments about Kyung Suk being socially awkward and people are saying it to is face! It's great. The more everyone gets to know everyone stereotypes/idolizing stops.

It's sad how much Kyung Suk's father has lost. He doesn't even know it. He comes to talk to his daughter about her channel and to take down the videos. Not even realizing that he's only proving his wife's point.

Speaking of. Hye Seong's reaction to finding out Kyugn Suk and Mi Rae are dating is so wonderful! It's refreshing to see a mother happy about who her son is dating in dramaland, but their right that she's so down to earth. So refreshing.

The picture thing is a very interesting place to go. I have a feeling that super quiet/awkward kid might be the one doing it. It's also gives us more insight to the type of crap Soo Ah deals with. While it might be hard to get upset for her. It's creepy to think that can happen.

My ID is Gangnam Beauty is teasing me! I can't have proper skinship with Mi Rae so nervous about other's seeing. I get a beautiful back hug to end this episode, but I am dying for that kiss!!!!!
