PLOT

Fed up with being judged for her appearance, middle schooler Lim Jugyeong turns to makeup to transform herself. Starting with BB cream, lip tint, and eyeliner, she soon adds mascara, double eyelid glue, and colored contacts. As a result, Jugyeong goes from being bullied for her looks to being celebrated as a high-class beauty. Surrounded by admirers and enjoying a more comfortable school life, she must keep her natural appearance hidden. Everything changes when the new transfer student, Lee Suho, enters her life. Suho quickly becomes popular, and by chance, he is the only classmate to see Jugyeong without her makeup. With her reputation at stake, Jugyeong must go to great lengths to keep her secret. However, as she spends more time with Suho, she starts to question whether true beauty is defined by appearances alone.
