Baby-faced Beauty Episode 1 Summary

Having a babyface look might be a gift for other women. They thought they were blessed. But For Lee Seo Yeong, having a babyface look couldn’t help her at all. She was fired from the company she’d been worked at for 14 years just to be replaced by a younger employer. She’s the eldest in the family, so she’s responsible for the family economy. She’s really in trouble if she couldn’t get another job soon.

On another place under the same Seoul’s sky…meet the clumsy Choi Jin Wook.

He’s in a hurry to a fashion show. The team forgot an inportant accessory, so he had to rush there. But a little accident happened on the back stage. Someone stepped on to the neckalace and set free the necklace stone-pendant that it glided to the cat walk. When Jin Wook finally caught it, he was already under the spotlight. He stupidly mistaken his friends saying “Move away!! Move away from there, quickly!!”, thought they said “Go forward, go forward, quickly!!”

And this is the face of In Style director when he saw Choi Jin Wook walked on the catwalk in an amusing gesture and made funny poses. The boss name was Ji Seung Il. He was about to feel embarassed, but the audience found it entertaining that they gave Jin Wook a round applause.

Seo Yeong got a place to try a work from a friend’s recommendation. It’s just a small tailor. When the boss was out, Seo Yeong’s younger sister, Seo Jin, came to her to ask for some money. She’s a spoil girl. Her figure was so different from Seo Yeong. Seo Jin was tall, pretty, nice long hair and very modern look. She’s only 25.

She threaten Seo Yeong to tell their mom if she didn’t give her money, but her unemployment sister just had nothing to give her. Seo Jin entered the tailor to look around and found a branded coat. Crazily she steal the coat when Seo Yeon was busy with a customer. So when the boss went back to the workplace, Seo Yeong was in a big trouble. She was kicked out right away.

Seo Yeong had to find Seo Jin. She got the news that her younger sister was in this one night club. So she rushed there. Coincidently, Jin Wook and his friend also went there for their little celebration after the successful fashion show. Then they approached Seo Jin and asked her to go to the dance floor. Seo Jin saw her sister so she agreed. She asked Jin  Wook to keep the coat for her.

Seo Yeong saw the coat and asked Jin wook to hand it over, but he refused. They both struggled to win the coat, but Jin Wook threw the coat into the giant glass full of martini. Seo Yeong tried to get it back, but she slipped and drawn into it.

And just when Jin Wook helped Seo Yeong out of the giant glass, it fell down and dropped the whole drink to the dance floor and set a fire. It was a disaster.

Seo Yeong and Jin Wook were brought to the office. They had to pay for the damage: 20 million won! They were lock in the restroom together. And then it was Jin Wook who saw the little window first and got the idea of running away. Seo Jin went first because they thought it’s gonna be easier if she pulled him from the window.. But when Seo Yeong was out, the guards spotted her. So she had to let go (actually kick Jin Wook’s face and then go) of him.

Jin Wook had to take the full responsibility of the payment. He kept trying to find a friend to lend him money. So he was busy by himself during a meeting. He stupidly let out an angry expression to his friend on the other side of the phone and that made him spotted by all people in the meeting room, including his boss. The already-upset-by-the-lame-presentation boss stood up. Everybody thought he was gonna piss off. But he just critisizing Jin wook’s mismatch suit.

On the other part of the city, Seo Yeong had to turn the coat to the owner. Surprisingly, the owner was her old friend from highschool who had become a successful university teacher, major in fashion.

Seo Yeong got depress with her situation. He sister didn’t have empathy in a very wrong time. Seo Yeong was sorry for herself and all her missing cherish youth, while her sister just knew how to buy fancy bags, dresses and shoes. They turned into a fight. The pulling-each-other’s-hair fight. They stopped when they mother came in and separated them. The mother stood by her sister instead.

Seo Yeong’s buddy invited her to have a drink. In the middle of a boring chat, her friend asked, “Did you tell a lie to someone else about your age?” Seo Yeo was like, “Heh?” Then he showed her a brochure about “looking for this girl..bla bla bla…age: 20.” Seo Yeong then found her face was sticked on almost everywhere around the city. She called the number and told Jin Wook to stop doing this thing.

Seo Jin put an application on behalf of Seo Yeong, using Seo Jin’s CV. She rushed into “In Style” office the next morning in a short dotty red skirt. She ran hurriedly to catch the elevator (in which Director Ji had already in it –no one there to be in the same elevator as him) and accidently the skirt hooked into something, torn out and dropped somewhere. That left Seo Yeong with the underskirt short pants. This scene was hilarious.

Ji Seung Il saw it in a weird way. He gave her a magazine to cover her back side.

Seo Yeong’s job was to be a live mannequin. No one knows this girl was actually 34 years old.

Jin Wook decided to let go of her baby car. It was very hard for him to do it since he cared for his car more than to himself.

When Director Ji came into the fitting office and saw Seo Yeong as the model, he coldly said, “Is this office making child dress?” and then off to the meeting room. Seo Yeong was told to prepare for the coffee. And when she was busy at the pantry, Jin Wook came inside for the meeting. He was about to help this new girl, but as soon as he found out it was a familiar face he was surprised.

This drama is so hilariously entertaining. Daniel Choi with his funny face and Jang Na Ra with her innocent look. And don’t forget about Ryu Jin…a must watch drama.
