My ID Is Gangnam Beauty Episode 13

9/10 - Finally the truth behind Soo Ah's modivations!

Finally the truth behind Soo Ah's motivations! It's revealed she's just as human as everyone. Enough so that she is worried about her weight and has an eating disorder. However, it's shocking that she wants Kyung Suk because if anyone else dates him it means she's not as popular as who ever has him. In this vein every guy has to lust after her. No other girl can have a boyfriend. Clearly it just has to be in her circle?!? Because this is a huge college! People are dating!

The brilliance of this episode is that we've known since the beginning that Kyung Suk clearly knows what Soo Ah is up to. Despite being an awkward out cast he is aware of who Soo Ah is. Maybe these are the type of girls he is use to? The most important part is that Mi Rae suddenly sees Soo Ah crystal clear. She understands that Soo Ah is so similar to her. Women are all plagued by the same problems. Varied for each person perhaps, but all to similar. I loved how she confronted Soo Ah! By the end of the episode she's beyond fierce and brave!

It's also clear Soo Ah is burning bridges. People are on to her or moving on!

It was still painful to see Mi Rae as she denies her feelings. More importantly Kyung Suk. However, he truly is willing to wait as he realizes what Mi Rae meant when Soo Ah threatens him with Mi Rae. Thank fully we don't have to wait too long! (Coming back to this later.)

It was also interesting seeing that Woo Young realize that he liked Mi Rae for more then her looks. He could see that Mi Rae and Kyung Suk were in like. So in a way he knew he didn't have a chance. What I loved is how peaceful things were settleed. Woo Young drinks his troubles away. So much so that Kyung Suk actually brushes Woo Young's teeth! So hilarous. Though clearly all that teeth brushing was worth it. Especially as Kyung Suk finds out that Woo Young was a fan of the coupling despite loosing. My favorite part of them moving on from the love triangle is when Kyung Suk makes hangover soup for Woo Young. "Hey man, you lost the girl! I won! Here's some hangover soup. No, that's not pity you're tasting!" ^_-

I know in dramas will live for the dramatic coupling! When they finally are agreed they're an item! It's everything I could have hoped for! So lovely and moving. Better was as he walks her home after it's decided they're dating is that "nothing is different." Except maybe some extra flustering and now they can hold hands! It's so sweet. By not being over glamorized and taken out of reality it feels realer. I am dying for Kyung Suk and Mi Rae to kiss!

Now back to Mi Rae not making us wait to long. She wants it still to be a secret. Kyung Suk is willing to be quiet, but can not just be silent. What I love is by the end of this episode Mi Rae understands everything! That cliffhanger is brilliant as she faces of with Soo Ah!
