[mslee's thoughts] Birth Of Beauty Episode 1 and 2 Screen caps Review

The true essence of beauty comes from within each and every person. It's commonly called character. But in this drama, the concept of beauty is about physical appearance. Well, let us not be hypocrites. This is the reality in almost any situation. People who are shallow rejoice and feel envious of those who are pretty and has perfect body measurements. They pity and do not care for the once that are plain and fat. Yes, most often, they ignore these people even if they need help. 

In this drama, apparently our heroine is Sa Geum Ran, an overweight wife, neglected by her husband for seven years already and treated as a housekeeper in her in laws household. She is always being criticized, laughed at and kept news about her husband's where abouts. Until she knew that he has always been in Seoul and not out of the country like she thought. She went to see him only to find him with another woman, Gyo Chae Yeon, a famous news anchor, beautiful, elegant and popular. She witnessed how these two betrayed her.

An accident happened. Her car went into a deep ditch and her family assumed she was dead. She could not appear in front of them. Her self esteem is too low. She went to see a doctor who can change her. A total make over. Han Tae Hee helped her in every way. She went under the knife. Even had her voice differ by injecting something in her larynx. She had hair implants and all kinds of implants to have a perfect sexy body appearance that all women and men will envy and want.

But then, the anesthesia  used on her was too much, she had a memory lapsed. That's when she did not recognized Han Tae Hee and called him a stalker. She even did not realized that the woman on the TV she was watching as Geum Ran is her. She cried while watching her own story. 

When she realized it was her, her past came back to her. She plotted with Tae Hee to get revenge on her husband who is marrying again. She will have to take her husband again from Chae Yeon, not knowing it is Tae Hee's own agenda, too. Because Chae Yeon left him to go to Lee Kang Joon, Geum Ran's husband.

These two will have a surprise of their lives when Tae Hee and Sara, aka Geum Ran mess with them.

Just one thing that bugs me. Why Kang Joon married Geum Ran knowing she is not physically beautiful. But her kindness and caring personality is her strongest character. And Sara keeps on letting Kang Joon see that side of her that should also reminds him of his wife.

In this episode, Sara was the one who approached Kang Joon during a party, donating a large sum of money. She also went fishing on the day he fished. Got emotional when she learned his grandmother passed away, making her teary because she as Geum Ran cared for the old lady. The bracelet she left to Kang Joon slipped onto the waters and she went to find it. She brought rice cakes at their house in the excuse that she lived nearby as a new neighbor. She even rescued the piano player from making mistakes while coughing non stop while her Kang Joon's parent's were singing.

Sara just could not help being Geum Ran. Her inner beauty comes out naturally, which makes Kang Joon think of her. And when they met at the park, Chae Yeon saw them together. While Tae Hee hides as he watched.

For pilot episodes, it is okay. But then the storyline is of course predictable. I have to see more episodes to know if this is really worth it. But there are values to be learned. And of course, Joo Sang Wook is here, so yes, I am staying to watch for more.
