This is not by any means a fast moving drama, but it is certainly thought provoking. It focuses on Mi Rae, Soo Ah, and Kyung Suk, all of which are the talk of the school because of their looks. You have Soo Ah who everybody is jealous of because she is naturally beautiful, but she is full of self doubt. Then, you have Mi Rae who was bullied for her ugly face so she got plastic surgery, but that still doesn't make her happy. Finally, Kyung Suk, who is the perfect pretty boy with a cool exterior and the appearance of a perfect family life.

This drama addresses the very real societal pressures directed toward beauty and how it influences our daily lives and thoughts. While the acting definitely isn't groundbreaking, the actors/actresses did a good job conveying the message and relationships throughout the drama. This drama also shows the uncertainties of growing up. Many think that once you reach of certain age, you have to have reached certain milestones. In reality, everyone is different. All in all, a good noncommittal drama about loving yourself for who you are and to just enjoy yourself instead of worrying what other people might think.
