"You think we're products displayed in a showroom?"
This drama was such a swirl of feelings for me. I loved the message and the overall story that it tells of loving yourself and finding the beauty in YOU, but I feel like it took a long time to even come off with that message if it even did at all... While you never see her old face, it takes until literally episode 15 for her to accept that she looks the way she does and feel comfortable in showing that to everyone. So it doesn't even feel like in the entirety of the show that she truly loved herself. It just screamed the message looks are everything and if you don't like yours change it. I wish we could've gotten her finding love for herself and keeping that, or even realizing that looks aren't everything in a person even if it's your own looks.
The acting in this drama is also such a hit or miss. While I can see that she is playing an awkward character who has never been in social situations like these before... I just found the acting of the FL super flat. She never really shows any range of emotions, it's always linear and no emotion almost. I'll have to check out some of the other dramas she was in to see if that is her or just how she was playing Mi Rae.
I did love Eun Woo's acting in this a ton, even if he also just stares and has a quiet and shy character as well. He showed more range of emotions and definitely was the piece that got me invested in the overall story. I loved seeing this after I watched Island because you can really see how much he has grown as an actor.
There were such good messages written into the script though about body image and how people view women and the way they look. I wish that was pushed more instead of the plastic surgery aspect of the story. One of them that really stuck with me was: "We're all forcing ourselves to cheer up and carry on."
Overall, I think this drama was a pretty good watch but I wouldn't rewatch it. Just beware that really nobody in this drama has character development at all, it's all just settled and moved on from to finish the show on a happy note.
