Synopsis
So-Ra (
Yoon So-Yi)
comes from an ordinary background, but she works very hard. She is then
betrayed by her boyfriend and her dreams of becoming a professor fails.
Byun So-Ra then joins a cosmetics company ...
So-Ra despises women who focuses only on their looks. She came
out on top academically from elementary school all the way up to
graduate school, but she hasn't had much luck with personal
relationships. So-Ra tries to do everything for her boyfriend, including
writing his thesis paper, but she catches him cheating on her with her
friend Jin-Joo (
Lee Su-Kyeong).
So-Ra is filled with anger, thinking back to the time her boyfriend
said he doesn't want to have sex with her, but he does with Jin-Joo.
Those words brings back memories of a past experience. So-Ra becomes
even angrier and starts to throw things at them, with her boyfriend
covering up Jin-Joo to protect her. So-Ra leaves her boyfriend's
apartment and Jin-Joo follows her. Jin-Joo explains that when she asked
her boyfriend if he was in a relationship with So-Ra he replied they
were just friends. Jin-Joo asks if they have had sex and So-Ra replies
that it's none of her business. Jin-Joo criticizes So-Ra's attitude
towards men. Jin-Joo tells So-Ra that she seems to have someone else on
her mind and is pretending to love her current boyfriend.
So-Ra works as an instructor at a prestigious university. Due to
her personal beliefs, she reports on a professor who has embezzled money
from the university. Incredibly, So-Ra is the one who gets fired. So-Ra
now tries to overcome the break up with her boyfriend and the loss of
her job.
So-Ra meets her male friend Chan-Jin (
Shim Ji-Ho),
who works at a cosmetics company, at a cafe. In the past, So-Ra helped
Chan-Jin get a promotion by writing a report for him. Chan-Jin attempts
to comfort So-Ra. So-Ra suddenly announces that she will work at the
cosmetics company and will work hard to be successful. She takes an
interview from the company and is able to pass by the information she
gleaned from writing Chan-Jin's report.
Meanwhile So-Ra asks Jin-Joo to leave her apartment. Jin-Joo, who
works infrequently as a model, has nowhere to go. Jin-Joo begs to stay
at her apartment. So-Ra is determined to kick Jin-Joo out. Jin-Joo's
phone suddenly rings and she answers it. So-Ra, under the wrong
assumption that it is her ex-boyfriend calling Jin-Joo, takes the
cellphone from Jin-Joo and blurts out things on the phone. To So-Ra's
horror the person on the other end is Jin-Joo's father. Because of this
mistake, So-Ra allows Jin-Joo to stay for another week.
On the first day of work at the cosmetics company, So-Ra has
difficulties with a colleague who appears to dislike her. While carrying
a box at work she spots Joon-Soo (
Jae Hee)
who graduated from same university as her. So-Ra feeling uncomfortable
tries to get away, but Joon-Soo blocks her and talks to her.
Later that night, Chan-Jin visit's So-Ra's apartment to have
dinner even though he wasn't invited. Chan-Jin meets Jin-Joo. They all
end up going to a cafe together. At that cafe, Chan-Jin receives a phone
call and leaves. So-Ra and Jin-Joo begin to drink more alcohol.
Chan-Jin then brings Joon-Soo to the cafe. Both of the women are drunk
by this time. Jin-Joo quickly forms a crush on Joon-Soo and she hears
that Joon-Soo is the successor to the company she starts to like him
even more.
The next day at work, So-Ra left behind at home an apartment USB
stick. Jin-Joo comes over to the cosmetics company to deliver the USB
stick. At this time, a model failed to show up for work. The model was
to introduce products to high ranking employees at the cosmetics
company. Jin-Joo is quickly asked to fill in for her. When Jin-Joo
appears in front of the executives she makes eye contact with Joon-Soo.
After the modeling session, Jin-Joo bumps into a handsome man who asks
her where he can submit a resume for a secretarial position. Jin-Joo
says she doesn't know, but they should go find out together.
During this time, So-Ra works in a office alone. Suddenly, she
remembers where from her past she remembered a man telling her that he
didn't want to have sex with her. That man is Joon-Soo. The next day,
So-Ra sees Jin-Joo in the lobby of her workplace. Jin-Joo tells So-Ra
that she submitted a resume for a secretarial position and she's here to
take an interview. So-Ra waits for Jin-Joo to get out of the interview,
because So-Ra wants Jin-Joo's help in getting revenge on her
ex-boyfriend. Jin-Joo helps So-Ra put on makeup and pick out a dress to
wear. So-Ra then goes to a restaurant where her ex-boyfriend is meeting
another woman. So-Ra pours a foul smelling chemical on his head and
leaves.
When So-Ra and Jin-Joo return to their apartment, they find
Joon-Soo waiting for them. Joon-Soo asks So-Ra to go with him and he
needs to talk to her. After they leave, Jin-Joon catches a taxi and
follows them. In Joon-Soo's car, as they drive, Joon-Soo tells So-Ra he
is interested in buying a patent that So-Ra owns related to dying
chemicals organically. They go to the cafe where they usually go. There,
Joon-Soo asks to talk about the past, mentioning a misunderstanding.
So-Ra tells him that she doesn't want to talk about that. When So-Ra is
about to leave, Joon-Soo grabs her arm.
The past incident that So-Ra doesn't want to talk about took
place when Joon-Soo and So-Ra were running and it started to rain. They
went to a motel room. They both sat on the bed and, out of the blue,
So-Ra kissed Joon-Soo's cheek. After that, So-Ra went into the bathroom
to take a shower. When she came out of the bathroom she discovers that
Joon-Soo has left. So-Ra looks out of the motel window and sees Joon-Soo
running away. He turns around and yells to So-Ra that he doesn't want
to have sex with her.
