All characters, names, groups, and events in this drama are fictional.
Let's go play somewhere else.
Okay.
I'll come too!
As a kid, I picked fairy tale books based on
how handsome the guy on the cover was.
Set the light and shade first when sketching with a pencil.
Focus on the brightest spot first.
As you go along the contours, it gets darker.
That's when I realized...
...that I was just a hopeless sucker for good-looking guys.
I turned my overwhelming emotions into art.
And that's how I ended up majoring in sculpture.
Wow! You're really amazing!
Seriously...
With such high standards, your boyfriend must be super hot!
Bani!
So, the very first boyfriend I picked was...
Go Bong-soo Bani's first ever boyfriend
Babe!
Say hi! This is my boyfriend.
Hi, I'm Go Bong-soo.
I guess Bani doesn't really care about looks.
I guess she only looks at the inner beauty.
Kwon Bo-bae, 21 y/o Nam Kkot-nim, 21 y/o
You're into hot guys! Why are you dating him?
Bani!
I like you!
I mean it.
I like you!
I like you
I like you!
Why else?
Because he likes me.
Day 1 of our relationship!
That's all I need.
What's more important than feelings?
But still, are you sure about this?
Well, if you're happy, that's all that matters.
Hello.
Dynamic New Semester
Mmm! Fresh air, without a speck of fine dust!
Bright sunshine and cool breeze! It's all perfect!
And the most perfect of all is...
Bani!
- Babe! - Bani!
...my undoubtedly happy love life.
Oh, right! Bani!
Should we go on a trip this weekend? The weather's great.
A trip? I love traveling!
When should we go? Saturday? Sunday?
If you're okay, we could go on Saturday and return on Sunday.
- An overnight trip? - Yeah, sound good?
Oh, and this...
Ta-da!
- What? Is that for me? - Yup.
I thought it'd suit you well. Pretty, right?
I love it!
Wait, let me put it on for you.
My hands are shaking.
I'll put it on for you.
Oh, my bad.
What's your problem? Look where you're going!
- Going around hitting people... - I'm sorry.
- How dare you...! - Babe... Babe, look!
It's fine, see? Is it a pearl?
Watch where you're going, alright?
Babe! What do you think?
It's so pretty. I love it!
- Enjoy your drink! - Thank you!
- Hey, there! - Hi.
Kkot-nim!
Here's your mocha latte. Enjoy!
Excuse me. I really like you.
You're extremely beautiful.
Oh, I see.
My personality is ugly though.
- Huh? - Enjoy your drink.
Thank you... Bye...
Isn't this so pretty? My boyfriend got it for me!
It's alright. It looks decent.
Just decent? Are you nuts?
Why are you so hard on my boyfriend? Gosh...
Let me ask you something first.
You're super picky about looks. Why choose a boyfriend like that?
Listen, that's because...
Kwon Bo-bae!
Hey, didn't you say you'll be heading straight home?
Here, you said you needed this.
Thanks!
- Your name's Ban... - Ban Hee-jin.
I told you last time.
Oh, did you?
- Take care. Bye. - See ya!
See? Good-looking guys don't even notice me.
Cap! You're telling me that's why you don't care about looks?
He doesn't even meet your standards anyway!
What are you saying?
I wonder if you'll be indifferent in front of a really handsome guy.
Where's the Department of Sculpture?
Cha Ji-won Sculpture Major
- This is the Department of Sculpture. - Oh, thank you.
I'm here to re-enroll in the sculpture department.
How long will it take?
Oh, the re-enrollment will be processed within the day.
You can register for classes after that.
- Okay, thank you. - No, I thank you.
Do you need help registering for classes?
Bang Ho-dong, 21 y/o, Cheon Chun-sik, 21 y/o
Hey, have you seen the new freshmen?
- They're so pretty! - Of course, I have!
I really liked the girl with the short hair.
Yes! She was seriously gorgeous.
- What about you? - I can't say.
- Come on, just tell me. - I really can't.
Hey!
- Good morning. - Hello.
Hwang Jae-yeol, 23 y/o Visual Design Major, 2nd Year
If you can't say it to their face, don't say it behind their back.
Lee Dong-ha, 23 y/o Visual Design Major, 2nd Year
Sorry, we'll be careful.
Hello!
He looks cool even when he's mad!
Totally! He's my role model.
If you can't say it to their face... I can't do it, let's go.
Gosh! Jae-yeol!
Why are you scaring them on the first day back?
Gotta set the tone from the start.
If you let things slide, things will get out of hand.
Way to go, Dept. Rep.!
Why did they make me the Dept. Rep.?
So annoying...
Hey, Dept. Rep.! Wait up!
You've gotten swifter!
Bani
Bong-soo
He must be busy...
Jung Geun-chul
Hello?
Yeah, dude! I told you it'll be soon!
All that's left is the trip.
Yeah, I convinced her to an overnight trip.
You know, right?
I've been working my ass off just to get laid with Bani.
Is he crazy?
Yes, the same Bani!
I tried so hard to sleep with her since day one.
But man, she's been playing hard to get.
I never even got close!
Yeah, she's either super sharp or just totally clueless.
What's going on?
I tried getting her to bed, but it never worked!
So this time, I'm just going to get her drunk first.
- Hey! Is he talking about Bani? - I'm gonna kill him that bastard!
Once I get her drunk and all,
I'll just sweet-talk her into it. She'll get the idea.
Bro, did you really win her over?
She's head over heels for me.
Honestly, she'll never meet a guy like me!
I went for her because she looked easy.
Simple. Easy as pie.
Then why even date her?
To get laid, man.
I told you, she's an easy girl.
I'm sleeping with her if it's the last thing I do.
Oh, that necklace? It was a bait for the trip.
It's a fake anyway.
I busted my ass off to find a real-looking one.
- Hey! That dumbass... - What?
The mic!
Huh?
Bani...
Bani! Oh no! Oh no!
Shit...
Attention, please. We apologize for the inappropriate broadcast content
that caused discomfort to Yein University students.
Damn it...
Once again, we apologize for the inappropriate broadcast content
that caused discomfort to Yein University students.
Bong-soo
Hey, Hee-jin.
Look, about that...
It's all my fault.
It's a misunderstanding. I didn't mean it.
You said it with your own mouth.
I was just acting tough to a friend of mine.
Do you even hear yourself?
I swear, it's true.
You know how much I like you. Please believe me.
You're a piece of shit.
Hey, you're not even human.
Argh...
I'm so done with you.
Listen. Cut the act, okay? You knew what I wanted.
You wanted it too. Stop playing the victim.
Am I wrong?
You were all smiles earlier.
Now you're embarrassed cause everyone found out?
You should be thankful I even dated you.
Now, I'm only gonna say this once. So listen carefully.
I only put up with you cause you kept begging me.
I can date hot guys too!
You better not let me see your face again.
Count yourself lucky today, asshole!
- The number you have dialed... - She's not picking up.
No, this is bad...
Now, I'm only gonna say this once. So listen carefully.
Are people out of their minds?
"Brought it on herself?"
Are you kidding me?
Bani!
This is all my fault... All my fault...
You didn't do anything wrong. That jerk's the one to blame.
No...
I sold my soul...
...for a stupid 'I like you'.
I like you. I like you. I like you.
Gosh, I'm just... ...regretting everything.
What do you regret the most?
I thought it was enough if someone liked me.
But what mattered most was how I felt.
At least you know now! It's all about moving forward!
- Moving forward? - Yeah.
Moving forward...
I made my decision.
Listen carefully.
From now on, I'm going to date hot guys!
That was marvelous!
You just washed away my frustration!
Yes! Date them, please!
If guys that like me turn out to be trash,
then I might as well go for the hotties out there!
Isn't she too quiet?
You think she's dead?
She's still breathing.
Kim Hyun-kyung, Bani's Mom Ban Young-min, Bani's Dad
Dear Lord...
Get up! Wash and eat already!
I made you some nice hangover soup.
What about the girls?
They ate and left ages ago.
Come on! Stop lazing around and go to school!
Yeah... Gotta go to school... And take a gap year...
A gap year?
Honey,
can you ask Bani if she's really going to take a gap year?
I'm serious.
What's gotten into you again? The semester's barely begun!
Again?
Yeah, remember when you made a fuss about transferring school?
Oh, yes. I remember now.
Let me transfer school, please!
Bani, listen to yourself.
You can't just follow your teacher to Gangwon Province!
Why not?
I'll be happy with clean water and fresh air! Come on!
Just let me go!
Coming!
Hello.
We just moved in next door. This rice cake is from my mom.
Oh, you're the neighbor that moved in today!
- You didn't have to bring these. - Thank you.
He was Bani's first love.
If it weren't for that kid, she would've been out of here.
No, that's not why I stayed.
Anyway, I'm serious this time. Don't stop me.
I'm going to school.
Alright.
If some insanely handsome boy pops up again,
the whole gap year nonsense will vanish instantly.
- Just like you did for me. - What?
- Wait, is this a signal? - Shall we?
I'm ready.
- Excuse me... - Yes?
I'm a little lost. Which way is it to the library?
What is this perfectly flawless beauty?
Is this what they call the Renaissance ideal?
Or maybe the golden ratio of Greek statues?
He's got such a vibe. A perfect one...
I can imagine him picking flowers with sad eyes.
Then the florist comes out and asks,
"Are the flowers for your girlfriend?"
And he just smiles silently.
We don't know why. He just does.
Then he puts the flowers in a vase,
but at a hospital room where his sick girlfriend is.
"How are you feeling today?"
With a frail and delicate voice, she answers,
"Same as always..."
What? Why did my face pop up? Snap out of it, Ban Hee-jin!
Sorry! I spaced out for a second.
Where were you headed again?
Oh, to the library...
Wait, hold on...
- Are you a freshman in sculpture major? - No, not exactly...
Mom and Dad, I've made up my mind.
I will give my everything to Yein University!
Let's go. I'll show you the way.
Why were you alone? Haven't you made friends yet?
- I'm a little shy around people. - Oh, I see.
It's okay to be shy. At least you got to meet me!
I'm actually the Dept. Rep. of the sculpture department.
Ask me anything you need. I'll help you out.
Okay.
Did you register for your classes? It's confusing at first.
I was a little late, so I registered what was left.
Then you must have no free periods.
That's a bummer. I would've sorted you out if we met last week.
Have you tried the special lunch? You have to try it at least once.
It's a bit pricey though.
Let's go eat together if we get the chance.
Sure, that sounds good!
Thanks for walking me here.
No need to thank me! It's what upper classmates do.
If you need anything, just text me at that number, okay?
- I got loads of past papers. - Sure.
I'll get going now. See you around, yeah?
- Sure. - Bye!
I can't believe it.
How can someone look so unreal?
That sharp jawline, that cold gaze, those cool lips...
He has aura... Massive aura...
Enough to blow away the summer heat.
He looks like a model for an energy drink!
Let's see. In the back seat is his girlfriend since high school.
The girl probably has black hair and deep black eyes...
Wait, me?
Gosh, why my face again? Get to your senses. Hee-jin!
Good thing I didn't apply for a leave of absence.
This is clearly a sign for me to stay in school.
Title: Divine Beauty Artist: Bani (Ban Hee-jin)
You've got good eyes.
It's by our top sophomore student. It recorded the highest score ever.
This student is probably the most skilled in our major.
Wait... You kinda look like the sculpture.
Especially when you smile!
Have fun.
What the heck?
What was that about?
Excuse me?
- I was about to use this locker. - So?
I put my stuff in first, so it's mine.
Hmm... I finally feel alive again.
Cream pastry is the best for hangovers.
So you ran into two hot guys today?
Back to back?
I didn't know our campus was so full of beauty.
- The whole place is glowing. - Glowing, huh?
I'm jealous. I wanna see hotties too.
Yeah, instead of being stuck in here doing this.
New semester events are such a pain.
It still looks pretty when put together.
Like cherry blossom petals.
I want to get showered in cherry blossoms with my lover.
But I'll never get such a cherry blossom lover.
Why not? Make it happen!
You said you're gonna date handsome guys.
Shower in cherry blossoms, in snow, and even steal a kiss!
Even steal a kiss?
Man, we really need to win the Youth Art Studio spot.
- Can we submit it by tomorrow? - It's almost done.
Alright, let's do this! We can move in!
I'm done!
I hope we get it.
Then we'll have free studio space and tons of support.
We better get it! We spend sleepless nights preparing.
Excuse me, this is for you.
Oh, thanks.
You're seriously so handsome!
That's my role model right there.
Who's been stealing the hearts of the ladies?
It's none other than my pride, your pride, and the pride of Visual Design...
Hey, hey! Shut up.
Take this and get lost.
Such a blessing to us lowly peasants!
- Thanks for the treat! - Thank you!
This should be good enough.
He's a human air purifier.
So refreshing.
Bro, have one. It's yours anyway.
- Nah, I'm good. - Come on, have one.
It's yours in the first place!
Then at least take this.
Watch out!
Are you okay?
You're not hurt, are you? Thank god...
Oh, no!
Hey, is it broken?
Check it! Does it turn on?
Our portfolio is in there.
No... What do we do?
Our blood, sweat, and tears are in here.
Uh... I thought you were in danger.
I swear, I didn't mean for it to happen.
It's totally my fault. I'm really sorry.
Please forgive me.
Whatever. What about my tablet?
I'll compensate you.
Do you know how much it costs?
I'll pay you no matter what.
2 million won?
- 2 million? Seriously? - It's very expensive.
Can I maybe pay you in installments?
This isn't a department store...
- Installments? Seriously? - I think three months is okay...
I'll pay you back as soon as possible.
I'm sorry. I'm truly sorry.
Your number. Leave me your number.
Bani!
Oh, you're here. Have a seat.
- Are you feeling better? - What?
Am I wrong? You were all smiles earlier.
Now you're embarrassed cause everyone found out?
You should be thankful I even dated you.
I forgot that I'm officially the campus loser.
Of course, I'm all better now.
Until a while ago...
I'm glad.
I was really worried you'd drop out or something.
Yeah, maybe I should've...
Wow!
Who would quit when it's this beautiful?
- Over here! Have a seat. - Okay.
Everyone, listen up!
We'll start with Group A.
Go around and introduce yourselves loudly.
There's finally a good-looking guy in our department!
Right? I'm so hyped.
How did you get close to the Chaon Group heir?
I was seriously shocked.
Actually, it happened on my way to school today...
- Wait, what did you say? - Chaon Group.
He's the heir to Chaon Group. Didn't you know?
Hi, I'm Cha Ji-won, back from a couple of years of break.
Alright, everyone!
The person sitting across from you will be your campus mate for the semester.
Get to know each other!
Can I pour you a drink?
What? Please don't talk in honorifics.
Let me pour you a drink instead.
No way, let me pour you one first!
- You're the upper-classmate. - Please, spare me.
Just kidding. I can't even drink anyway.
I was just teasing. Relax, take it easy.
How can I relax after learning the truth?
You're the grandson of the Chaon Group CEO!
How can I even sit at the same table as you?
You're interesting.
Please, call me Bani from now on.
- Bani? - Yup.
Title: Divine Beauty Artist: Bani (Ban Hee-jin)
Did everyone have a chance to talk to each other?
Yes!
Great! Now that we're warmed up,
let's kick off the Freshman Initiation Ceremony!
Go, Sculpture Department!
Oh, you said you couldn't drink...
Cha Ji-won! Cha Ji-won! Cha Ji-won!
Hold up! I'll be his black knight!
Since I'm his campus mate, right?
I'll drink for him.
So hot!
Let's go!
- Are you okay? - Huh? Oh, yes. So far so good.
Thanks, you really saved me.
I'm glad I was able to make it up to you.
Do you have a wish?
Black knights get a wish in return.
No, you don't have to. I just wanted to help.
Or, are you free tomorrow?
I'll treat you to that special lunch you mentioned earlier.
- Huh? I was gonna treat you! - Allow me to repay.
Well, if you insist, I won't say no.
Then I'll be relying on you, upper-classmate!
Huh?
I'm counting on you too, lower-classmate!
So, what should we order?
If we mess up today, we'll be screwed, right?
Yeah, one of you might die.
I'm counting on you both, okay!
Listen up, everyone!
We have a very special guest who has provided us with today's feast.
Can anyone guess who that is?
Hwang Jae-yeol!
That was too quiet. One more time, who is it?
Hwang Jae-yeol!
Let's give it up for our Dept. Rep.!
Hwang Jae-yeol! Hwang Jae-yeol!
Dude, just say a few words.
- The one. - The one!
- And only. - And only!
- Visual Design Major! - Visual Design Major!
Anyway, Jae-yeol...
The prize for this competition must've been huge!
No wonder you're treating the entire dept.!
Can we order whatever we want?
Whatever you want.
- Then let's start with meat! - Yeah, yeah!
She pisses me off so much.
- Ho-dong! - Yes.
Eat up. Help yourself.
Can we order beef...?
Do you think he's feeling better?
What do you think?
- Good job. - You were a pro!
Now, let's order some beef.
Bani's favorite random game! What game? Let's start!
I choose you and you!
Drink! Drink! Drink!
Unbelievable.
After causing me so much trouble...
Bani, you good? You seem a little drunk.
What are you saying? I'm totally fine!
No, you're drunk.
Huh?
The tablet guy!
Is she pointing at me?
You're dead meat.
Ban Hee-jin! Hey! Get it together, Hee-jin!
Stop! Stand still!
I said, stand still!
What are you doing?
Yes. That look and that tone.
So cold...
Did you have to be that scary to me?
- What an ass... - Did you call me an ass?
I said I'll pay for it, didn't I?
Wow...
What the hell?
Let go before I lose it. One, two, three!
How are you so strong?
I said let go! Let go, seriously!
It's so unfair.
I just... wanted to protect that gorgeous face of yours.
What?
There's nothing more precious than this perfect face!
You have a million-dollar face!
Seeing you up close... You're even more handsome.
Hey, hey...
No, don't do it.
Shut it! Keep your mouth shut!
If you open that mouth, you're dead!
Ugh... my head...
How much did I drink last night?
How the heck did I get home?
And why does my hand feel numb? Did I get punched?
Huh? The tablet guy!
There's nothing more precious than this perfect face!
Shut it! Keep your mouth shut!
If you open that mouth, you're dead!
No... I'm doomed!
Ban Hee-jin...
You're so dead. I won't let this slide.
Ban Hee-jin!
Crap... Should I have just taken the leave?
No, I can't get caught! Run, Hee-jin!
I'm so sorry!
Hey, Ban Hee-jin!
I'm sorry, I'm sorry!
I just want to talk.
That crazy girl!
Try out our drone! Try out our drone!
- Oh, it's Jae-yeol. - Where?
- See that guy running over there? - Yeah, that's him!
Why's he running like that?
- Oh! Hey, Bani! - Ji-won!
Ji-won, let me hide behind you!
Ban Hee-jin! Come out!
The drone looks unstable.
- Hey, what are you doing? - Why is it acting up?
You're gonna crash it!
Try turning it off!
But I'll never get such a cherry blossom lover.
You...
What are you?
Crushology 101
They say enemies turn into lovers.
A stranger could become your one and only soulmate.
I want us to get close.
Why is he suddenly being nice?
Snap out of it, Hee-jin.
- Excuse me. - What's going on?
Why is a statue talking to me?
Doesn't it kind of look like me?
Was I really that mean to Ban Hee-jin?
Bani Bani?
You never know how fate will connect us.
Wanna be my destiny?
Hey, Hee-jin!
Could this really be...
...fate?
