My ID Is Gangnam Beauty Episode 8 Reactions
What I love in this episode that it showcases Kyung Suk awkwardness and outcast status. Even showing that because he's lived rich he doesn't quite understand how the world works. Finding out that Mi Rae is a bargain hunter and that she scrimps and saves. The persona of the cool and aloof male lead isn't the reality. The reality is that Kyung Suk doesn't really know how to interact with others, doesn't like to, and doesn't just have everything fall into place. He needs to find a place to live and get a job, that just doesn't happen because he's the amazing lead who has connections. It's very real and refreshing!
We're getting to see under everyone's stereotype. Accept for Soo Ah. We're only getting small looks into her. We know she lied about where she lives and that she's living in a poor area. We see this older lady pop up to drop of groceries, but Soo Ah is cruel to her. What we do see is Soo Ah's attention turning to another fellow chemistry student. The "fat" one (gosh she's so beautiful!!!) who is starting a budding romance. Apparently it's not just Mi Rae that Soo Ah can't stand taking attention from her. It's any girl who takes the attention of a male away from her. Interesting.
It's also interesting that Soo Ah still can't get in with Kyung Suk. He still doens't trust her.
So what this episode was truly about is the kind of date that Kyung Suk and Mi Rae went on. I loved how Mi Rae is realizing that while she's never had male friends, she knows she can't just be friends with Kyung Suk. Even going as far as to use straws as chopsticks to avoid a hand craze in the popcorn bucket. (Yeah, that really happens in real life!)
It's also nice that Woo Young has already met Mi Rae's parents and the mom clearly approves. The issue is at this point that won't be helping the second lead out. There's also more friendships moments that I love between all the girls!

En los adelantos me engañaron, pensé que pasaba algo en el cine. Cuando empieza a sacar la cuenta en la cena me reí como loca, ella es sencilla y ahorrativa y eso le benefició por completo a él. La caminata bajo la lluvia fue... LO MEJOR. Es tan lindo, ese momento de intimidad entre ambos, de hablar, de caminar juntos.
ODIO A SOO AH. LA ODIO. Es envidiosa, mentirosa, hipócrita. Y no puede a ver a nadie feliz, porque quiere ir a meter su cuchara. No entiende que no importa lo bella que es, aún así, nadie la quiere. A la gordita siendo gordita, la quieren más que a ella. LA ODIO. Y no sé como el congresista Do pudo aparecerse en la casa de su ex esposa, es un descarado. :l Y ahí nota que fue él mismo quien le dijo la verdad a Kyung Seok.
EPIC FACE, la cara de Mi Rae cuando él le dice que entonces no le diga su cumpleaños al TA, que si no se lo dice a él, a Woo Young tampoco.
EN FIN.
Excelente capítulo.
