BABY FACED BEAUTY

At present I am in the midst of watching a Korean Drama called "Baby Faced Beauty" online.  Each week, two episodes are aired.  So far, I am at Episode 12. The series is still airing in South Korea and Episodes 13 and 14 will be aired on Monday and Tuesday.

Here is the synopsis

The story of Lee So Young, a 34-year-old woman who’s saddled with family debt and only has a high school qualifications, but dreams of becoming a fashion designer. Her youthful appearance is her only advantage; she is mistaken for a 25-year-old university graduate and subsequently lands her dream job when she’s hired by a fashion design company, where she meets Choi Jin Wook, a man who looks more mature than his young age.

COMMENTS

I guess the makers of this serial is trying to showcase society's obsession with youth and paper qualifications.  It is sad that younger candidates are given the preference to the older ones.  In the series, Jang Nara's character is already 34 but she has to pretend to be 25 just to stay hired.  Then when they find out her real age, out she goes.
