I love gangnam beauty, I really do but, this constant fascination about how pretty mi rae or so ah are is totally pissing me off. In school honestly people are more appreciated or even popular because of how talented that particular person is. I agree that favoritism and star culture exist in schools as well, but rather than focusing on prettiness, people are more favored because of how good they are in projects or if they stand in the merit list.
The way this show has been looking down at girls, and like I totally blew a fuse when on the last episode an average figured girl, [who is totally perfect let me tell you], got slammed by these disgusting guys in her class, and the girls just do nothing about it! I also find it furious that mi rae looked so guilty when that A$$ from her middle school turned up and called her names. It was not her fault in the first place for however she looked and heck, to hell with anyone who thinks that bashing based on people’s looks is okay! This is totally uncalled for and the message this writer has been constantly trying to deliver just really is discomforting for me, somehow. I don’t know how long I will continue this one, I mean I agree mirae and do kyung seouk together look very good, but I can’t just close my eyes to the fact that there has been some kind of beauty worshipping going on here. At this point, I wished the writer had the guts to not change mi rae’s face and just made it about her and her original face and then do kyung seok liking her.
What message do you think the writer is trying to deliver?
I thought the message was that those people who judge others based on their looks are mean and dumb. Also, I thought the writer was trying to show that being beautiful won’t solve your problems.
You know I do realize that the writer was trying to project that it’s soul over beauty that matters. But in the process, he/she is actually giving more emphasis on the ugly details, IMO. Like it has been episode 6 already and all we have seen in the campus is how the girls are being looked down upon. So for example, if you want to protest against crime, then you would try to convey the message. If you keep showing only the crime scenes, keep giving the gore details and how wrongly the victim is being abused, without putting the emphasis on the wrongdoings, then the impact of justice is kind of lessened down, that’s what I feel. So in the same way, we get to see on a continuous basis about how mi rae used to be the epitome of ugliness. Her insecurities and traumas are being constantly mentioned. Likewise, the other girls and their imperfections are one of the major parts of the show. So it’s like showing a murder scene in details by making all the right impact but not saying how reaching the end goal [that is punishing the killer] is more important. That’s my main beef with this show, tbh. :S
