The plot takes an interesting take on plastic surgery from what I saw. Usually dramas have the surgery and when people find out they're only shock for a moment then its pushed aside. But for this drama, I guess its quite realistic in terms of how people view plastic surgery. There's a stigma where people both look down on it but also look up upon it. If you have the means then why not right? It also touches how despite trying to be a better version of yourself, there will still be people who don't like you. However, I did wish there was a bit more back story on the other characters cause it felt like I was trying to fill in the gaps regarding their background. They seemed a bit too filler.

As for the cast, I've seen some people saying Soohyang is too old for the role but that's exactly the point. She was suppose to look old for her age group due to the results of the procedure. It was suppose to make people question her presence. It was quite a good move to cast a mature looking person if anything. For the acting however, I wasn't sure if it was intentional for her to be quite awkward but still a bit bearable. Cha Eun Woo's acting was average (maybe just for this drama?) and having Kwak Dongyeon as his teacher was quite funny given that both of them are the same age in real life.

Nonetheless, it's still bearable to watch but whether I will rewatch it is a different question.
