Average is better, but the reality is there will always be harassment and judgement. You're harassed if your too beautiful, not beautiful. The reality that no matter what you look like as a woman it's tough. The attention of being too good looking starts. Who actually gets her alone and blocks her in a room. Already having to take sexual harassment from a senior. Finally able to show of her dance moves, which were unacceptable for her to show off as an "ugly girl". Speaking of that different kind of attention you can see Mi Rae waiting for people to take her out. I'm excited to see a great friendship between girls in a drama. Who she trusted with the secret of her surgery and her new face. What I do love is that Mi Rae's mom isn't her only support. Now the other side of the coin is turned.
After surgery she is a knock out beauty though. Really what Mi Rae wants is to be average and to simply not be bullied. Is what Mi Rae wants and her mother promises. We're only left with the person that she is to her core, and her new face. What's even more stunning is the director's choice to use shots and techniques so that the viewers can never see Mi Rae's original face. Maybe that boy's rudeness is what started it or everyone was waiting to bash her with it. Spending her entire youth under such cruelty. Which leads her down the harsh rabbit hole of being "ugly". Then after clearly being a top student she decides to confess to her crush. Until she took her strong will into helping her lose weight and keep it off. The more she fought back the harsher their treatment became. She even says she was strong willed and didn't take it lying down. As a child she was "fat" and we see her dealing with these boys bullying her. Even as she strapped down to the table and the risks of having plastic surgery are clearly laid before her. However, as we follow Mi Rae the story of her past leading up to that moment becomes clear. This is all just so materialistic and it could have come off unwell for the story. So materialistic! Then we follow along as it's clear she's getting a new face. Casting unfavorable light on her characters. We see Mi Rae harshly judging other women's faces. Or more correct the stress of being a woman. Not to mention I think it gets all of its important points across well and makes its point. Even if the show deteriorates from here, this first episode has left an impression. My ID is Gangnam Beauty is probably one of the best first episodes I have ever seen. 10/10 - One of the best first episodes I have ever seen.
