[Drama 2014] SBS - Birth of A Beauty 미녀의 탄생

[mdnora]

episodes 16 and 17 recap by ninja reflection

Thoughts
Did you guys all rolled your eyes? I don't usually yell at my computer screen so I roll my eyes instead and I rolled them lots whenever Sara interacts with Min Hyeok. Come on!!! Why would Sara not have a clue at all that Min Hyeok is Tae Hee's mortal enemy? Even if Tae Hee has somehow not shared the whole bad history between them (and I think he did when he found out Sara knew Min Hyeok), it shouldn't take a Sherlock Holmes to figure out that if two men who are going head to head over a company as big as Winner's group they obviously are not best buds. 
I will confess that I secretly am hoping our hero and heroine are not so dense and are actually working together to fool their enemies. Dear writer! Don't disappoint me! 
ps. I did get great satisfaction from seeing Kang Joon being beaten so soundly by Chae Yeon... we just need Sara to do the same to Chae Yeon now.

Han Ye-seul looks like she stepped right out of Birth of a Beauty and its exaggerated, stylized fashions, where she looks amazing in every frame. The show marks a nice return for her; the plot is utterly silly, but she’s bright and likable in it, and has fabulous chemistry with Joo Sang-wook.

I do fear for her ankles every time she skips along wearing monster heels like this in the show, even though she seems to be managing so far. The dress is twee and adorable, and that length is super cute on her (sadly, these designs do not work for the short, since then it just becomes a hoop skirt).

Well taking nothing away from HYS (actress playing Sara) who also won the Excellence Award in acting seems strange to me. I have absolutely loved Joo Sang Wook (HTH) and feels he should have won an Excellence Award--even with the male competition he went up against. He's had to play all spectrums of emotions and have done so excellently.  I also think the actress playing SGR (Ha Jae Sook) has also acted well in this drama.

I'm happy they won Best Couple and Top 10 Stars Awards (voted by teenagers). However, it's very clear in looking at some of the winners that these awards have to do more with popularity than with actual acting skills.

Happy New Year to all of my fellow BoaB fans! I'm so happy that our couple was chosen among the best couples for SBS Drama! Despite the low ratings, they noticed the palpable onscreen chemistry of JSW and HYS! Looking forward to a more dynamic and not dramatic episodes this coming weekend!

[szne09]

@lclarakl‌ yup I have also yet to see the last 2 eps. I also think JSW did a great job with his versatility with BoaB and was hoping for him to win. Oh well, sometimes you can't predict these awards..

태희는 사라가 민혁의 새 사업 모델이 되었다는 사실에 분노하고 사라를 찾아가 굳이 한민혁인 이유가 무엇이냐고 묻는다. 한편 민혁은 사라에게 강준이 태희 폭행 사건의 범인이라 뒤집어 씌우며 강준과 태희 둘 다 떨어져 지내라고 하는데...

Why do I have a feeling the villains will go against each other from what happened in the last two episodes? It's going to be an interesting ride to see what they will do to each other instead of the hero and heroine getting back at them. Hehe... But I might be wrong.

Thanks for the translation @yaqiyuki‌ .

O no, our OTP is getting further apart....

This drama use plastic surgery as a means to drastically change a person's appearance. It's amazing to me how S. Korean actors/actresses are probably the main reason S Korea is known as the plastic surgery capital of the world:

Can you guess who this is?

Wha..if looks could kill  (this is LGJ   looking at  GCY when she's blackmailing him out of his property)  Is she not afraid?  He has already killed one wife ( in intent anyway, the fact that she is alive is not due to HIS efforts) This duo is really scary..no moral boundaries..I guess villains wouldn't be villains if they weren't hateful..they do it well, congratulations !
