Hello.

This is a very popular perfume.

It's a favorite among beautiful actresses and models.

But there's another bottle that might suit your face better, ma'am.

Ghost-face Liu!

Ghost-face Liu! Ghost-face Liu! Ghost-face Liu!

Ghost-face Liu! Ghost-face Liu! Ghost-face Liu!

Beep, beep, beep!

You want a ruler, dear?

'Cause I have one.

Come on, Dad.

What's with you, my dear Liu?

Are you still unhappy with how you look?

Even after that whole-face surgery?

You know, honey...

Hmm?

Even if people have nothing to say about her beauty,

they might still call our daughter a cosmetic surgery addict, you know?

People these days love to bully.

Exactly.

That's exactly the reason why

your father and I have a surprise for you.

It's our clothes.

Your father and I will be staying with you for two whole weeks.

And of course I've brought this...

Fragrance distiller kit to make some relaxing essential oils.

I went and asked the building staff

if we could pick some flowers around here.

Look at this. Look what I found in all shades of red and pink.

While you're at campus, your mother and I will have everything prepared.

Once you're back, everything's already distilled,

and there you'll have your instant mood lift.

Just put it away for now, please.

I have to prepare breakfast for our daughter, you know?

Grab that one, hon. Dad. Mom.

I will be fine.

I'm only putting on makeup to boost my confidence.

I have absolutely nothing to worry about.

With this face, no one will bully me again.

Well, then, how much would you rate your face now?

Popular almond-shaped eye surgery.

Sweet and adorable dolly eyes.

Open method double eyelid.

Naturally upturned rhinoplasty.

Bikini lip reduction.

Cheekbone correction.

Natural looking V-shaped face contouring.

All in all, 85 points.

Wow, that's a lot. Can you guys even tell I've been under the knife?

Of course not!

But still... I'm worried about you running into someone from school who might recognize you.

I don't think so.

You sure there's no one you know at this university? Yeah, are you?

I've checked everywhere.

There's definitely no one I know.

Liu...

You do know we don't want you to go through what you did in school again?

I know what lovely parents I have.

Thank you for staying by my side all these times.

But I've got a new face now.

I won't have to go through what I did ever again.

I just want you two to enjoy your lives to the fullest and

wait with ease while I study hard to become a perfumer.

Liu, dear,

if you're sure you'll be fine, then I trust you. Be strong, dear.

I believe this place will be good to you.

You won't run into what you faced before,

especially those who look down on you for what you love.

Even someone like you...

likes perfumes?

Of course. I won't go through anything like that again.

Alright. Then we're going home.

Take the bag, will you?

Yes, hon.

Oh, hold on.

If there's an emergency you don't feel like telling me,

feel free to talk to your next-door neighbor. Hmm?

I've talked to him. He looks nice and dependable. Not to mention that gorgeous mug to go with it.

Mom.

I'm sure I won't have to depend on anyone again.

Okay, okay, okay.

Let's go, hon. Yeah. Grab the bag.

Of course.

(List of Successful Candidates for School Year 1/2024)

Look at these photos of Faye I took. Wow.

I khow.

Look.

Oh, Mork. Your photos are much better than during the orientation.

Wow.

You should come to my girlfriend's events and take some photos of her.

I want something just like this.

Film, let me tell you one thing, bud...

The photos turned out well, because I snapped these with my love for Faye.

And can you please quit saying that that idol's your girl?

She's a freaking idol. You're just a fan.

That's not true—

It's not so bad to get a grip on reality, Film.

See? Listen to this guy, dude.

Take some advice from our year's second smartest person.

- I told you she's been texting me! - Okay. I've never seen those three before.

Ain't no way that's her real profile

But it is!

I'm sick of hearing your delusional nonsense, dude.

Oh, hey, Ann.

You back now? You bolted out of the orientation

on the first day for "lunch" and never returned.

Get lost. Oh?

So cool.

She looks so fierce, mature, and dependable.

She's both pretty and handsome.

(Eagle-sharp double eyelid)

I bet her features are natural.

(Defined face contouring)

And we never went to the same school.

(Beautiful nose and full lips)

75 points.

(Surgery free)

Mimi, will you please take your eyes off your phone

and look where you're going?

My boyfriend said he was going to go take a shower

two months ago and never replied.

I'm worried about him.

Worry about yourself, girl.

Alright?

What do you mean?

Why should I worry about myself?

Let's just take our seats, shall we?

What?

Alright. I don't know those two, either.

But isn't that girl adorable?

She's got that innocent look. I think she's friendly.

Cute dainty features, too.

(Round adorable eyes)

80 points.

(Naturally upturned nose) (Thin beautiful lips) (Surgery free)

Faye!

Over here!

Flawlessly beautiful, like an angel.

And she was definitely born with that face.

(Natural double eyelid) (God-given oval-shaped face) (Flawless nose)

(Angelic lips) (100% Natural)

Can I sit here, Jerry?

Oh, of course.

Thanks.

Lemme sit over there. Get your stuff away.

How long do you plan to keep blocking the way?

Oh, sorry.

Even someone like you...

likes perfumes?

Guy...

What did you just say?

Hey.

Have you guys seen Garin and Prima?

They were the only two people who didn't show up at our orientation.

I don't know about Prima.

But Garin, who got in with a top score,

has been famous since junior high school.

His family owns some hotel chains so he's rich.

He's also an athlete.

His name is Guy.

Guy...

What did you just say?

Hi— I said "hi." Why don't you go in first?

Oh, is that him? Isn't he super hot?

Not really?

I'm way better looking than him.

Sure you are.

Is this seat taken?

Sorry, bud.

We're packed here.

Guy's here.

But Prima still hasn't shown up.

Maybe she dropped out?

If she really did drop out,

I guess you're representing our major as the Hot Girl,

together with Guy, that is.

There's an empty seat here.

Hot Girl. Hot Girl. Hot Girl.

Stop it, you guys.

I don't care about that kind of thing.

But you're the prettiest girl in our major.

You're exaggerating.

Is there another empty seat?

Can you scooch over?

Prima.

Hey, she's here.

Doesn't she look...

I wouldn't show up to the orientation either

if my face is still swollen from the knife.

Who the hell revamps their entire face if they're not a freak?

I mean, she's hardly human anymore,

more like walking plastics.

Her eyes aren't even symmetrical.

She must have spent a few grand on that ugly mug.

Oh, I think it's even more—

Hey.

Are you alright?

You suddenly froze up.

It's nothing.

I'm fine.

I'm glad you're okay.

I'm Faye.

What's your name?

Liu.

Liu.

Guys, this is Liu, our final classmate.

And she's really pretty.

Isn't it unfair how mother nature gave her such a pretty face?

My face... isn't—

I don't know if someone so naturally beautiful as you

would ever want to be friends with a normal girl like me, though...

I'm–I'm not—

You don't want to be friends?

I do.

Yes, I do.

I'm so happy.

Can I sit with you?

I saw you eyeing that seat up front.

Let's go.

Can we sit here?

Thank you.

Let me go grab my things.

Where's the attendance sheet?

Oh, it's over there.

Can I have the attendance sheet?

Thanks.

Here, sign your attendance.

(Prima Patpimol)

Thank you for sitting with me.

Well, you looked like you didn't want to sit anywhere near that guy.

Bad blood?

It's okay if you don't want to tell me.

But... it looks like he's coming this way, Liu.

Ten.

Nine.

Eight.

Seven. Six. Five.

Four. Three. Two...

One!

Thank you.

Don't thank me yet.

I actually have ulterior motives.

I needed to take you somewhere.

At the orientation, this was the first place

the upperclassmen took us freshmen to.

They said every new student should pay their respect here.

You have to make a wish out loud.

Say why you wanted to get into this faculty

and what you want to be in the future.

The louder you pray, the more likely for your wish to come true.

Let me show you.

I want to study chemistry so I can become a researcher.

I want to be a smart professor who makes loads of money.

Please help me out.

I want to be a perfumer.

I want to make perfumes.

I want to have my own brand one day.

But before all that, please make my blog go super viral!

Please keep quiet, students!

But–But you said—

I lied.

(Please pray in silence.)

But if you prayed silently,

I wouldn't get to know you, right?

I want to be your friend, Liu.

Will you be mine?

This is the friendship book they gave us during the orientation.

We were supposed to ask our classmates and upperclassmen to autograph

so we could get to know each other.

Will you write your name here so we can be friends?

I'm not the only one who wants to be your friend, though.

Those two, too.

Faye.

You could have waited for us.

Sorry.

Why don't we take some selfies?

One, two, three.

One more. One, two, three.

Can I have some photos with just Liu? Of course.

Mimi, let's pray.

Alright.

One, two, three.

Since you just pocketed the cue ball...

I guess that's your cue to drink, Mac.

And I will.

Cheers.

Cheers.

Anyone wants to take over?

Go ahead and play. I'll go grab another drink.

Oh, hold on a sec.

Don't forget to tell your friends to vote

for the Hot Guy-Girl representatives.

I need names for 'em student society idiots over there.

They need to submit the names for the uni-level contest soon.

If we don't get the names today,

those guys are gonna lash out at me again.

They keep saying all I do is drink.

But all you do really is drink.

Well, can't argue with that!

You got it, bros?

Of course, bro. I'll deal with it. See ya.

Hey, guys.

We heard.

So this very important thing you said was "mandatory" for all students

was this?

Yeah.

Gimme the link to vote so I can be on my way.

I think we should all stay until we get the results.

What for?

Can't you just cooperate for once, Ann?

What's the rush?

This is the first time we have everyone in our major together, you know?

And?

Here.

Take it.

Excuse me for a minute.

Hey, Mac. Hmm?

Am I right to hear that your nickname is Body-count Mac?

I'd like you to give me some tips on how to hit on girls.

Oh, if it isn't Body-count Mac.

Good luck tonight, bro.

Thanks.

Damn.

From what I see,

you must be killing the ladies with your sense of humor, aren't you?

Well...

The nickname "Body-count Mac" didn't only come from my sense of humor.

It's a combined effort of all my greatest attributes.

I—

Oh, I'd love to see these "attributes" of yours, Mr. Body-count Mac.

Oh, hey, Saint.

What are you doing here?

My friends and I are out drinking.

We'll probably be upstairs.

But don't mind me...

I can't be more interesting than how Body-count Mac bags all the ladies.

This is Mork, by the way. He's a freshman.

This is Saint. He's a graduate from our faculty.

He's currently doing a Master's in MBA, though.

Hello.

Hey.

I'm only introducing you to this guy because I am a complete amateur,

compared to him, that is. Are you for real?

You threw me under the bus, huh, Mac?

I wasn't lying, at least!

Right? I just want this rookie to learn from the best.

Here's the thing, big bro.

The girl I'm crushing on is kind of an influencer.

She's got her own YouTube channel and all, and she's super popular.

And like, if I text her a lot, I'm afraid she'd

think I'm a freak, you know what I mean?

Or should I go a more sugar-daddy route?

I'm broke as hell, though.

What should I do to get her to notice me?

Help me out. Fine.

Show me her Instagram.

Here.

Hmm, not bad.

Let me see...

I'll start the convo for you, but you do the rest.

Just that?

I've been replying to her stories and she ignores me every time.

I doubt something as simple as just texting her would work, bro.

Here.

What the—

Are you for real?

Damn.

You see?

Thank you.

He's got a knack for that, don't you agree?

Is she a freshman here, too?

What does she look like in person?

See for yourself.

Her name's Faye.

Hey...

Who's that next to her?

Alright. Everyone's already voted. Here's the results.

For the Hot Guy... One no-vote.

In first place is Guy, with 18 votes.

In second place is Mork, with one vote.

Did you vote for yourself?

Yeah, so?

There's no rules against that. Am I right?

I'm a confident man.

If I don't try,

I'll never win, right?

Well, I lost anyway!

But at least I'm proud I did that.

Good for you, bro.

I think it's a very brave thing to do.

'Let's toast to Mork, guys.

Alright.

I guess Guy is the male for our Chemistry department.

Moving on to the female rep...

One no-vote.

In third place is Mimi, with one vote.

Oh!

Someone thinks I'm pretty.

That'd be me.

A consolation vote because I feel bad for you about your boyfriend.

What about my boyfriend? He just likes to take long showers.

Can I just get back to this?

It's a tie between the second and first places.

Faye and Liu, with nine votes each.

Now how do we decide this?

I think it's better if Faye represents us.

I just got here and I never attended any school events, so...

And... Faye is really pretty and really nice.

If Liu says so, then Faye will—

But I think Liu is the perfect choice for this.

Hear me out, guys.

To represent our Chemistry department,

it isn't just about being born pretty,

but it's about honesty and the determination to be studying here.

If Liu wasn't here,

I might have let you guys talk me into this whole thing.

But Liu is here, and she's shown me how unfit I am to represent you all.

Do you guys know that Liu wants to be a performer?

That means Liu understands chemistry and nature really well.

As you all know,

chemistry is the art of making something new from nature.

And Liu's perfumes are exactly that.

It's the tangible kind of chemistry that people can understand.

How can I not want Liu to represent us all,

when Liu is both a true natural beauty,

and the core of our department?

Right?

I think Faye's got a point.

Guy leans more on the academic side of chemistry,

if it's Faye, who's also focused more on the academics,

it would be repetitive, right?

If we go with that, the other majors would think all we do is study.

Exactly.

I think we should revamp the face of the chemistry major.

We're not just lab nerds and researchers,

but we can be this, too.

Liu is the real thing, the real deal.

Liu has a blog on perfumes,

and she's never once used her beauty to make people like her blog.

I think Liu's honesty is her greatest asset.

Now who wants to join me in voting for Liu?

Is there a problem, Guy?

You had something against her before this, too.

Why are you being so antisocial?

I have a right not to vote for something I don't believe

to be true, don't I?

Just ignore him, Faye.

Everyone agrees with you.

That means Liu will be our department's Hot Girl.

Yes

Faye's right.

There's no one better to represent us than Liu,

a true beauty and honesty.

A role model for modern chemists.

Yeah!

Liu.

Say something.

I...

I...

I can't be the kind of representative you guys are talking about.

I–I am sorry.

Liu, please, don't be so humble.

You're really pretty.

You're a true natural beauty that needs no filter.

Right, guys?

There's nothing natural about me, Faye.

I'm sorry.

I only look like this because...

Because of plastic surgery.

I'm sorry.

What an Academy Award-worthy performance.

Are you happy now?

What do you mean?

To see me tell everyone how I've gone under the knife.

You're approaching me because you recognize me, aren't you?

So you do remember me.

How could I forget being looked down on?

Was that why you got plastic surgery?

So no one would mock you?

If that's the case, then what about it?

It doesn't seem to help, is all.

Plastic surgery?

I honestly couldn't tell.

She should have said something earlier.

True.

She just kept quiet.

It's okay, Faye.

We didn't know.

No matter what you do,

people will still find something about you to pick apart.

Even if you're prettier now,

it won't help you with anything.

But it did.

What'd you know?

You think I did all this just to be pretty?

Just so I don't get bullied anymore?

If that's not the reason, then why did you do it?

Because I just want a normal life like everyone else does.

I just want to have friends.

When I looked the way I did before,

I had no one.

We don't need any more members.

(Science Report)

I never understand

why everyone made a joke out of my face,

or why that meant I should be alone,

why my parents had to constantly worry about me.

I knew I would get made fun of anyway for getting surgery.

But at least,

I got to experience a normal life like anyone else.

I finally got to make friends.

That was worth all of it.

Even if it lasted only for a very short time.

If you want to find a friend in someone,

it can't possibly be Faye.

Why not?

She's been nothing but nice to me.

Guys, please don't blame Liu for this.

I still think Liu deserves to be the Hot Girl.

It wasn't her fault that she didn't tell us about her surgery.

I actually think it was my fault

for not making Liu feel comfortable to share that with us.

Faye, you did nothing wrong.

Right?

What should we do about this now?

What if they found out Liu's beauty isn't natural...

Beauty is beauty.

It doesn't matter whether it's artificial or natural.

I want us to be open about this.

For Liu.

Whoa, Faye.

You're really something.

You're such an angel, Faye.

What are we waiting for? Let's give it up for Faye!

Bottoms up.

"Nice"?

I doubt it.

Prima still hasn't shown up.

Maybe she dropped out?

There's an empty seat here.

If she really did drop out,

I guess you're representing our major

as the Hot Girl, together with Guy, that is.

Stop it, you guys.

I don't care about that kind of thing.

(Paid for a full-face surgery for our daughter.)

(She's going to be a beauty now!)

Prima.

I'm glad you're okay.

I'm Faye.

What's your name?

Liu.

This is Liu, our final classmate.

And she's really pretty.

Isn't it unfair how mother nature gave her such a pretty face?

He's coming this way, Liu.

...Two. One!

Hear me out, guys. To represent our Chemistry department,

it isn't just about being born pretty,

but it's about honesty and the determination to be studying here.

What an Academy Award-worthy performance.

Faye.

Hey, watch what you're saying.

Faye didn't know.

If Liu didn't admit it herself, who could even tell?

Did you really not know?

Or did you just act clueless to push Liu to say it herself?

Now you're just asking for it.

Mork, no.

Come on.

Cool it, Guy.

Why don't you go outside and calm down?

I'm so sorry.

I really didn't know. It's okay.

Nobody knew.

Guys, let's go ahead and promote Liu as our major's Hot Girl.

Let's do it together for Liu. Of course.

Let's do it.

(Liu is voted Chemistry's Hot Girl. So pretty.)

(We don't judge people for getting plastic surgery here.)

(Liu is the new Hot Girl.)

(Liu is the new Hot Girl.)

(Our major has the best girl!

(Beauty is beauty.)

(Let's all vote Liu as our campus belle.)

(Oh, so we're calling plastics beautiful now?)

(What about Faye? Why not go with Faye?)

(Natural beauty VS Plastic beauty)

(Faye deserves this more.)

(Why didn't they vote for Faye?)

(Liu? For real?)

(Faye's so pretty.)

(Liu's so fake.)

(It's weird that Faye didn't get the title.)

(I honestly think Faye should win this. Many people voted for her.)

(Faye's prettier.)

(Plastics will never measure up to the real deal.)

I get it now.

You just won't stop ruining my life, will you?

That's why you said that.

What are you talking about?

You have always looked down on me.

Hold on, Liu.

What exactly is the memory of me in your head?

If she said no,

isn't it the right thing to do to let her go?

Directed by Aticha Tanthanawigrai

I don't think I'm misunderstanding you.

You're just pretending to be nice to me,

like you did at the perfume store.

I hate it.

You're worse than everyone else.

I just thought it was the only thing I could talk to you about.

Leave me alone.

I know we just met and all that, but...

I like you, Liu!

You were at the orientation, right?

Tell me about Mac.
