My ID Is Gangnam Beauty Episode 4

7/10 - We're entering dangerous territory.

We're entering dangerous territory. Where every aspect of this drama is starting to connect. Such as Mi Rae's suicide attempt. It was briefly brought up here and there, but connecting her savior to Kyung Suk's mom is an interesting turn. Especially since there's already a connection to Mi Rae idolizing her for working in the perfume industry and the work she's done. So taking that extra step is risky. However, I do know that such close ties can sometimes be awesome when done right. Just in Dramaland it usually isn't. Things are slowing down as many more character sand plot lines connect. However, I'm still captivated by the story. I just how there's more to the mom story than her just being ambitious and having a mental break. Because I think My ID is Gangnam Beauty has way more to it then just being standard.

So despite my worry this is still a super solid show! Soo Ah is very crafty and sneaky. I'd say a true snake. There's more to her and I hope we get to explore that so she's not just a beautiful villainess. I think she's sloppy, or the director is, there should be a cut in her jeans. If it got her those jeans should be cut. Also, I hope it's a gross exaggeration about all those guys coming running to see if Soo Ah was hurt. Cause that's just crazy!

I'm still baffled by Mi Rae's dad pouting. I think the issue is that we don't know how much he knew about her being bullied and how hard school was. I get that he thought she was beautiful through and through. So far we know that he's upset that they just did it. Mi Rae's choice to take those pictures like she used to hiding her face from the camera. It's a smart move. Showing her dad that she's still his daughter, but now she's hiding her face for him.

I am so surprised how amazing My ID is Gangnam Beauty has been! Normally a show stumbles off from the start or by episode 4 maybe has lost some of it's steam. Not the case here! My ID is Gangnam Beauty has truly blown me away. Because a part of me doubted that this would be good or could bring anything new or solid to the table. It's managed to bring serious topics to the table and still be a fun and warm show.
