Kang Mi-rae (Im Su-hyang) is the perfect portrayal of what a person’s mind feels like after being repeatedly harassed about their appearance: obsessed. She has suffered from bullying her whole life and this constant violence, combined with the Korean ideal of beauty, have created an obsession in her mind: to undergo plastic surgery to look beautiful.
Mi-rae looks at the girls around her and can identify what procedures they are performing, almost like a surgeon. She can’t wait for her turn to lie on an operating table. When this finally happens, Mi-rae tries to restart her life away from the schoolmates who ridiculed her all the time, and she creates hope that things will be different when she starts college.
What she didn’t know, however, is that the persecution wouldn’t end so easily: if before people wanted to lower her self-esteem, now they are obsessed with her beauty and will be willing to do anything to conquer her. Attention. Little by little, she will have to discover that true beauty comes from within and that no amount of plastic surgery can eliminate someone’s personality flaws.
