"Birth of A Beauty" tells the story of Sa Geum Ran, a chubby housewife who is mistreated by her husband and his family, living basically as a maid. One day she discovers that her husband is cheating on her and he wants to divorce her so he can marry the other woman, but since Geum Ran doesn't want to divorce, Kang Joon tries to kill her. Geum Ran then decides to make an extreme visual change, becoming a new person: Sa Ra.
The big problem is that after the surgery, Sa Ra loses her memories as Sa Geum Ran and doesn't remember everything her husband did, even thinking about winning his heart again now that she is a perfect woman. When she finally remembers, Sa Ra begins her plan of revenge against Kang Joon and Chae Yoon, the two people who caused her death as Sa Geum Ran and made her become someone else. She does this with the help of Tae Hee, someone she initially thinks is the doctor who performed her surgery, but is actually someone else who also wants revenge against someone who destroyed her life. The two join forces and fall in love in the process.
The romance between Tae Hee and Sa Ra is cute, the two complement each other, it's really fun to see them fighting and then reconciling minutes later, but at the same time it's not a couple that leaves a lasting impression on you.
I liked that they had the consideration to show that Tae Hee's feelings also existed for the Sa Geum Ran from before, not just for the perfect Sa Ra, this showed that he liked her as a person, not because of her looks.
Chae Yoon really is an easy villain to hate, she didn't even mind stealing Geum Ran's husband and then dumped Kang Joon as quickly as possible when she found out that Tae Hee was rich, she went for the person who would benefit her the most.
