Hey guys, welcome!

This is my closet.

I have a party to go to later, but… what should I wear?

I have way too many clothes, I can't decide.

Since it’s a party, a dress would be best, right?

I’ll wear these heels…

and I need a bag too.

- Who is it? - It's me.

Oh! That must be my boyfriend, Tom.

I need to hurry and get ready.

Tom, give me five minutes!

Tada!

What do you think, guys?

Mirror, mirror. Who’s the prettiest of them all?

Who else? It’s your mom.

Don’t tease my daughter.

But the more I look at Yeri,

the more she looks like you.

Isn’t the first daughter supposed to take after her dad?

When I was pregnant with Yeri,

I prayed so hard that she’d look like me instead of my husband.

Right?

You’re still here?

They sent us back.

- From Room 6? - Yeah.

They just wanted to see a former actress up close.

Such a hassle.

They sure have an eye for beauty...

Mi-ryung.

Yes, ma’am.

Yeri.

Yeri, come play with us.

No! I don’t like ugly unnies!

See, grown-ups love being around

pretty people like your mom.

A lot of them, actually.

So let’s try to understand, okay?

8, 2, 0, 9, 7!

8, 2, 0, 9, 7!

♫ Do it like me, like this. Do it like me, like this. ♫

♫ Do it like me, like this. Do it like me, like this. ♫

♫ Wow, this is so fun. ♫ - After that incident,

Yeri’s mom stopped going to the karaoke.

Instead, she decided to do everything she could

to boost her daughter’s craving for attention.

Amazing!

Your face looks really big on the screen right now.

Do what I do.

Tuck your chin,

lift the corners of your mouth.

Great!

Stay still!

Let's keep going!

Strike a pose, nice!

Beautiful!

ACTOR AUDITION

Stop!

Joo Yeri.

Doesn’t it piss you off when other girls look prettier

on screen than you?

I haven’t eaten in three days.

I feel like I’m gonna pass out.

Give it to me.

Now!

You can eat after the audition, if you pass.

If I pass, you’ll just say I have to shoot right away

and still won’t let me eat.

Just emorize your lines.

I saw everything!

You bombed the test.

You only made it this far because of your mom’s connections.

You have no talent,

but just because you have the lychee parents…

No, I mean rich parents.

Mom.

That day,

Yeri uncovered both the secret

to passing auditions and the truth about her birth.

What are you doing?

Look at your zipper in the back.

Just sit quietly in the back.

I already know I’m supposed to pass the audition.

I won’t tell Dad.

I’m hungry. I want tangsuyuk.

And that was the day Yeri quit being a child actor.

Joo Yeri!

Joo Yeri!

What’s going on?

I should get a new phone.

After realizing she could use her mom’s secret to her advantage,

ironically, started doing everything she could to hide her own.

Mirror, mirror,

who’s the prettiest in the world?

Even if that’s a lie.

Hey,

how much is this?

Who's birthday?

I'LL LET YOU KNOW INSTEAD OF DAEJUNDONG

Of course, she didn’t neglect collecting other people’s secrets either.

- I'VE GOT SOME NEWS - You never know

when or how you might need to use them.

FRIENDLY RIVALRY

Good morning.

You know,

That I’m not the smartest girl.

I know everyone looks down on me.

But just because you're good at studying

doesn’t mean you’ll be rich, huh?

I do have one thing over them.

I have a killer nose for money.

You’re looking for Jae-na, aren’t you?

Everyone thinks she’s hiding somewhere, studying for another try.

But that’s not it, is it?

Even Jae-i doesn’t know, right?

I knew we’d get along.

I had a feeling earlier.

If she’s missing, you could just go to the police,

but I’m guessing you have your reasons not to.

Don’t worry. I don’t care about any of that.

I just talk a little too much,

so you might want to...

lock my lips up nice and tight.

Like with… a diamond or gold padlock.

That's all.

Looks like you're struggling with money these days.

But a one-time deal won’t cut it, huh?

If you’re up for it, I’d like to sponsor you long-term.

Of course, it wouldn’t be for free.

You’d have to show some appreciation in return.

What do you want?

Well.

I’ll have to think about what you can do for me.

By the way,

you look way prettier without makeup.

We’re here today with Dr. Yoo Tae-jun,

director of J Medical Center and a specialist in gastrointestinal surgery.

- Welcome. - Hello.

Your new book,

Health Project for the Perfect Score by a Daejundong Dad,

has been making waves lately.

Yes, in recent years,

I’ve seen a sharp increase in teenage patients.

Their sedentary study habits

lead to digestive issues

like indigestion, constipation, and acid reflux.

And you have exam-prep teenagers of your own, don’t you?

Right.

As both a doctor and a father of two daughters,

I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about the best diet

to support students.

From now on, don’t do anything,

no matter how many orders come in. Not until I say so.

Sorry, you can't take it.

Please do me a favor, please.

All the guys around here are studying without sleeping and taking meds.

They’re only looking at the materials their academy gives them.

So, everyone.

Put away whatever you were looking at.

Hands on your heads.

There are three test sheets.

Flip them over!

Alright.

Start!

I was ranked 20th!

But because of you, I didn’t make it in.

You know?

MIDTERM EXAM RANKINGS

1ST PLACE: YOO JAE-I, WOO SEUL-GI

No way.

THUG

Hey, Seul-gi. It's been a while.

Can you see me?

Hey.

People are staring. Please put your hand down.

Still as prickly as ever.

When does the class end?

That’s unexpected.

I never would’ve guessed from your quiz scores.

What happened?

Can I skip...

the health checkup?

Why?

It’s a privilege for the top 20 students.

Do you have a special reason?

No,

not really…

It’s not just any routine checkup.

And surprisingly, you ranked first in the whole school.

Of course, it’s not officially recorded in your student file yet.

You should count number 5 as correct too!

You admitted the question was unclear.

I know that it’s a shock since it’s your first time placing third,

but you’ve gotta do well before the test, not after.

Get out.

Shit!

Who was that guy in front of the school gate?

Your boyfriend?

Huh?

Okay, I’ll pretend I didn’t see anything.

The health checkup?

You take it.

Me?

Why aren’t you doing it?

I’ve done it every year.

I’d let you have a turn.

If I use that time to study,

maybe I can finally get first place.

Or maybe I should ask Seul-gi for some tips?

Kyung.

Thanks.

Love you!

I was happy seeing your name on the rankings board.

Well done, our Seul-gi!

You’ve conquered Gangnam too.

I knew it from the moment I first saw you.

So, am I finally getting a little sibling at Hanguk University?

Huh?

Why would I be your little sibling?

Hey,

we’re from the same hometown. Don’t be so cold.

I was born and raised in Seoul.

See? That’s why you gotta play in the big leagues.

Seoul really is something else.

Everything’s on a whole different scale.

If you’ve got something to say, spit it out.

I need to study.

With that kind of energy, Hanguk University should be easy for you.

Respect!

What the hell.

This is crazy expensive.

But do the people here know that you’re an orphan and a junkie?

Did you get it yourself,

or are you just a middleman?

I quit it when I transferred.

Are you a top of the school?

In Gangnam?

Without any medicine?

You told me no one around here studies without taking something.

This would look good on you.

Wanna try it on?

Were you the one who dragged Su-jin?

Where is she now?

Choi Su-jin?

Why are you asking about her?

Just bring back the meds you swiped, exactly as they were.

Then maybe you can afford this shirt.

Excuse me.

Do you have this in size 105?

That size will be back in stock next week.

You heard that, huh?

Next week.

I’ve let you slide so many times when you skimmed off the top.

You gonna deny that?

If you had any conscience,

you’d think about paying me back.

I grew up poor, never had the luxury of a conscience.

Damn it.

Next week, then.

Let’s meet again with a smile.

The girls at Chaehwa High don’t know the meaning of friendship.

They spend a fortune on private tutoring, but you,

who don’t even go to an academy, ranked No.1.

No wonder they’re jealous.

You talk like you’re any different.

I’m fine since I’m going to an arts college.

I don’t have to obsess over my rank.

What time does the checkup end?

Is your mom coming to the Parents’ Night?

No… I haven’t told her.

Same.

My parents are in Paris,

so I didn’t bother mentioning it.

They’d probably fly in even if they were busy.

Alright, the bus is about to depart.

Please fasten your seatbelts.

J MEDICAL CENTER SHUTTLE BUS

Please remove all underwear except for your panties

and change into the gown provided before coming out.

I have tutoring at night, so I don’t want to feel groggy.

I’ll go with the non-sedated exam.

Are you taking any medications regularly?

Please check these boxes for sexual history, pregnancy, childbirth,

and miscarriage.

Isn’t this a privacy violation?

Why would a health checkup ask about this…

Are you still having trouble sleeping at night?

Yeah.

Why? Got something to hide?

Jae-i: I have exactly what you need right now.

Jae-i: Will you come?

Take a right past the exam room.

Exit the check-up center, and take the elevator to the lobby.

Head down the pharmacy hallway,

you’ll see a staff-only elevator.

Take that to the top floor,

then just open the door and come in.

AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL ONLY

You’re not allowed in here.

No, not that way. Come outside.

There's an emergency exit at the end of the hallway.

Go up to the rooftop and hide. I'll call you.

Get up. We have somewhere to be.

Please don't refuse my generosity again.

Because I respect you.

You are here.

Wasn't too hard?

I was so stupid.

The uniform, the elite academy, the midterms…

You wanted to make me kneel this whole time,

and I acted out of my place.

Whatever you want…

I'll do it.

And what is it that I want?

You need my dad’s medical lawsuit settlement papers,

don’t you?

I'll get you everything.

But...

you have to help me too.

Really?

The settlement is actually the last thing I want.

What is it you want?

Just my safety.

You wouldn’t understand.

You have no idea what it was like... being bullied, trampled on.

Studying is all I have.

It’s my only shield,

my only protection.

Please make sure my test results come out clean.

I must get into Hanguk University’s med school.

Your safety…

That’s what I’ve already given you.

And what I’m still trying to give you.

Let’s just celebrate today.

You really thought popping a few pills

would make you the top student?

I didn’t think so.

If I did, I wouldn’t have sold them to you.

Woo Seul-gi, Yoo Jae-i.

Seeing our names side by side…

it was a thrill.

I wouldn’t have liked it with anyone else,

but with you?

I was so happy.

Then tell me about what you promised.

Why do you keep avoiding the answer?

If you score higher than me on the midterms, I’ll tell you.

How I got information on you, and why I had it.
