He was brought up in the lap of luxury, his father was a congressman who is now running in the mayoral election and his mother is the CEO of a prominent perfume company. His mother left when he was young so he and his younger sister were raised by their single father. Every girl wants to date him and every boy wants to be him. Referring to him, Mi-Rae said, “Some are born to have daily lives that look like photoshoots.” In his early teen years he was considered “the face of Jaryong Middle School,” where both he and Mi-Rae were students. Known as the “face genius,” Do Kyung-Seok’s looks have always commanded attention. Why? Simply because, “Perfumes may be the only beauty that can be felt with your eyes closed.” Because of her past loner lifestyle she is on the shy side, not very talkative, and a bit nervous about all the attention pretty Mi-Rae is getting. Due to her challenging past in having to deal with a look that wasn’t up to the standard people have for beauty, Mi-Rae has hopes of becoming a perfumer. In desperation she turns to cosmetic surgery because, she explains, “I just wanted to be loved like an average person.” Although plastic surgery is considered fairly commonplace, she is apprehensive about having her new peers find out about how much work she has had done on her face. Even though she had a close friend, Oh Hyun-Jung, they only hung out together outside of school to avoid Hyun-Jung being persecuted for befriending such a hideous girl. Life was such hell for her that she actually contemplated ending all the suffering by committing suicide. Kang Hulk was the cruel nickname the students bestowed upon Mi-Rae when she was in middle school. Now that she is no longer an ugly duckling will Mi-Rae discover the happiness she so desperately desired or will being a beautiful swan come with its own set of challenges? So without his knowledge her mother sneaks her away after high school graduation and she undergoes extensive plastic surgery before entering college.
Plastic surgery was always an option but her father adamantly refused to allow her that quick fix, insisting she was his beautiful daughter no matter what anyone else said. When she was teased for being over weight she used her determination and strong will to shed those excess pounds but there was nothing she could do about her face. Poor Kim Mi-Rae was never one of nature’s original beauties and there were always plenty of people to remind her of that fact. (And let’s face it folks, their stars are drop-dead gorgeous, men included.) Anyone would want to be considered good-looking, right? But, is there a downside to being beautiful?
