Synopsis

Eunyoung is an extraordinarily beautiful woman. To Eunyoung, however, beauty is no more than an ordinary gift. She only has to walk out onto the street to turn men's heads. At the same time, her good looks make all the women jealous. When her best friend's boyfriend makes a pass at her, an argument ensues that finally destroys their friendship. Eunyoung becomes annoyed by all this attention, negative and positive. One day a man who had been following her for some time attacks and rapes her. Convinced that her beauty is responsible for the crime, Eunyoung begins to hate her appearance so much that she decides to destroy it. First, she tries in vain to gorge herself to become obese. When that does not work, she tries to starve herself, but she does not become anorexic, she just feels ill. Then one day, she randomly runs into the man she thought was serving a prison sentence for having raped her.
