All characters, names, groups, and events in this drama are fictional.
Most people talk about the main pieces...
But actually, my favorite is a piece called 'Destiny'.
I wanted to portray both the sides, and a fan actually noticed it.
Jay...
Hey, Ji-young. What's going on?
I want to ask you a question.
I keep getting confused.
I want to make our relationship clear.
Our relationship?
Where are you going, man?
Bani.
Wait a second.
All done.
Thanks.
Ban Hee-jin.
Let's go home.
- Wait... - I said, let's go home!
Let go...
Let go of me!
Do you like that guy?
What?
Don't fall for him.
- Why not? - I told you, he's no good.
Can't you tell what he is?
What's it got to do with you?
You're way out of line right now.
He'll just end up hurting you!
Think about it.
Honestly, why would he even like you?
Do you want to get played again?
After all you've been through, you still haven't learned?
What did you just say?
Whoever I date, or whoever I get played by,
you have no right to tell me what to do!
So, from now on...
Stay out of my business.
- Is that coffee as well? - It's barley tea.
- I can't drink coffee. - What?
You're such an oldie.
Actually... I got invited to Artist Jay's studio tomorrow.
I wonder how she's doing...
Jay?
Bani!
I thought you already left.
I waited for you.
What was up with him?
Ah... I think there was a misunderstanding.
There's nothing you should worry about.
Are you really okay?
Yeah.
Honestly, why would he even like you?
Do you want to get played again?
- Hey, Jay. - Yeah?
I have a question.
What exactly are we?
Us?
What do you think we are?
I don't just invite anyone to my studio.
Nor go to parks with just anyone.
Episode 4 Blind and Clueless
Honestly, why would he even like you?
Do you want to get played again?
After all you've been through, you still haven't learned?
What did you just say?
Maybe I went too far...
What do you want?
Did you get home safe yesterday?
Why do you care?
I don't have anything to say to you.
Can we talk?
Me?
I'll speak to you in honorifics.
Let's get that straight first.
What is there for us to talk about?
It's about Bani.
You can't let Hee-jin...
...meet Ah-rang(Jay) like that.
What are you talking about?
I want to ask you a question.
I keep getting confused.
I want to make our relationship clear.
Our relationship?
I mean, we stayed up together at your place that night.
So... we're dating, right?
Does that really matter?
You know...
I don't just invite anyone to my place.
That guy's a total Casanova.
- Did Bani hear this too? - No.
I just told her not to get involved with him.
But she wouldn't listen to me.
I thought maybe she'd listen to you.
You're kinda nosy, aren't you?
You and Bani...
...aren't even that close.
It's not about being nosy. It's about doing the right thing.
I'm not the type to let things slide.
Well, I've done my part. Bye.
Yeah, it's not my problem anymore.
Whatever... I tried.
Dong-ha - Visual Design Major
Hello?
Okay, I'll head over right now.
Hey, Ji-won.
I'm going to be away for a bit.
Oh, okay.
Hey, could you quickly look into someone for me?
I wanted to portray both the sides,
and a fan actually noticed it.
That was my most memorable moment.
Good stuff, Jae-yeol.
How did you finish editing so fast?
Well done.
Ask Bani if anything needs to be fixed.
What? Just ask her yourself.
She doesn't want to talk to me.
Bani, any feedback?
Tell him Artist Jay looks a little too dark.
Ask if he can be brightened up a bit.
She says brighten it up a bit.
Tell her his face is naturally dull.
He says it can't be fixed.
Tell him that Jay's left side is more handsome,
so use that angle more.
She says to use more angles.
Tell her to leave her personal feelings out of it.
And maybe improve her taste in men.
You heard him.
Tell him to stop meddling in other people's business.
Loud and clear.
What am I, a voicemail?
Leave me out of it.
Geeze...
What?
Unbelievable.
What's Jae-yeol problem?
Arist Jay
Hey, Jay!
I'm on my way home right now.
Sorry? Where?
Jay!
What are you doing here?
I remembered you live around here.
Were you passing by or something?
No, I came to see you.
My exhibit ends this week.
I'll be busy wrapping things up starting tomorrow.
So I came by to see you.
Sorry if I surprised you.
Not at all.
Actually, there's a nice coffee place nearby.
Shall we go there?
Sure, I could use a caffeine boost.
- Let's go. - Okay.
Huh?
Are you okay?
Yeah, I'm fine.
Let's go.
Are you two dating now?
He hasn't asked me out yet.
People don't say it out loud these days.
If you two held hands, it's basically official.
- But he didn't call you for three days? - Yeah.
That's a bit much, isn't it?
He's a hotshot artist.
He's probably busy with the exhibition.
He even came personally and explained he'd be busy.
How sweet is that?
Yeah, that's why I didn't text him either.
I'll wait until his exhibition ends tomorrow.
- Tomorrow’s the last day? - Yup.
Shouldn't you go and give him some flowers?
- Flowers? - Nah, you said he's busy.
It'll be a hassle for him to take care of you too.
Don't go unless he asks you.
Maybe he didn't want to burden Bani.
I mean, it is his last exhibition day.
He might be disappointed if you don't come.
That son of a bitch...
He's juggling at least ten girls right now.
He uses his status to date university girls.
What a pathetic loser.
How did you find out, though?
What was the route?
Phone hacking? Or getting into private accounts?
No idea. I don't do it myself.
Have you told Bani yet?
I was thinking of the right way to tell her.
Since I now have proof, I'll get on to it.
You're going to tell her everything?
Knowing the hard truth is better than being clueless, right?
Bani
Ji-won
Hey Bani, where are you right now?
I'm on my way to Jay's exhibition.
Right now? Okay, bye.
Bani's heading to his exhibition right now.
What?
- Aren't you getting on? - On that?
I've never ridden one before.
I'll go ahead then.
Crap, alright.
Scoot forward.
Put on the helmet.
Hold on tight.
Don't take my Jane!
Go easy on her!
Please look this way!
Over here, please!
Thanks for making time to come today.
Shall we head inside now?
Thank you!
Why is this ride so rough?
You do have a license, right?
Is this thing even insured?
Hold tight.
No worries.
Welcome, sir.
Oh my gosh, it's Jay!
I should at least give this to him.
You didn't have to come today.
But I missed you, Jay.
We were barely in touch recently...
We'll be with each other tonight.
I'm just here to give you this.
When did you get here?
You should've told me.
Let's go.
What did I just see?
- Let's just go. - Yeah, Bani. Let's get out here.
Hold on a second.
Can you...
Can you explain the situation?
What situation?
This situation, right now.
Oh, you saw...
Why should I explain it though?
I don't owe an explanation about my private life.
Right?
It’s not like you and I are dating.
It's not your business to know
who I meet and what I do.
Does Ji-young know about this? About who you are?
Tell me. Who exactly am I?
Bani.
You're the one acting weird right now.
You're here uninvited, causing a scene.
Aren't you crossing the line?
Save it for later.
Today is an important day for me.
That bastard...
Bani, what the hell is going on?
Congratulations, Artist Jay.
- Thank you. - I really love your work.
Hey!
I'm not done talking yet!
But for people like you,
I don't think words are enough.
This will work better.
Hey!
Are you out of your mind?
Feeling refreshed?
You were so full of crap.
I almost believed you for a second.
But honestly,
you're at fault for kissing another girl while hitting on me.
Have you lost your mind?
Causing a scene in front of all these guests?
That's why I'm leaving.
Unlike you, I still have some decency.
Let me just say this one last thing.
You!
Have some decency as an artist.
Hey!
- What's your problem? - Stop embarrassing yourself.
Are you okay, Artist Jay?
Fate, my ass.
What are you doing right now?
I'll explain everything.
You always make me give you my clothes.
Cried it all out?
Yeah.
Then let's go.
I got my tears on this.
I'll wash it and return it to you.
Forget it.
Did you know all along?
Is that why you tried to stop me?
Guess I really am an idiot.
I let myself get played again.
I feel so pathetic.
You're not pathetic!
They're the problem...
Bani.
I'll take you home.
Take care.
Thanks.
Bani, are you okay?
Yeah. I made quite a scene earlier, huh?
No, you were actually awesome.
Well, I did end up crying my eyes out.
At least you didn't cry in front of him.
You looked more strong and independent than ever.
- When you cry and laugh... - Don't say that jinx!
I told you to take it easy, didn't I?
What happened to my dear Jane?
Here, here!
I'll pay for the repairs.
It’s an old junker anyway.
Might as well fix it up properly.
Forget it!
Jane's charm is her untouched pureness...
Give it!
Anyway, what happened back there?
You left in such a rush. Did you settle it?
Did you get home safe...
Jane, did it hurt? Gosh...
I'll get you fixed quickly.
Grab on.
It's my fault for telling you to go there...
No, I got to find out about him sooner.
At least you got your revenge! Good job!
That's not enough! Bastard...
Trash like him should be soaked in fish sauce!
- His name's Jay, right? - Yeah.
Don't worry. People like him never end up well.
Hey, what's this?
That was some fast karma...
Coming up next.
The once-famous anonymous sculptor,
Artist Jay, is now embroiled in a major scandal.
The sculptor was named as 2024's Young Sculptor of the Year,
and was rising as one of the hottest names in the scene.
However according to testimonies from the victims,
he abused his fame, power, and influence
to engage in inappropriate relationships with students.
Young Artists Center Management Team
Yes.
The Chaon Foundation is pulling out their funding for you.
Unfortunately, you'll have to leave our center today.
How am I supposed to move out today?
I'm sorry.
Hello?
Call ended
What the hell?
Express delivery?
Fuck!
Hey, who are you?
Hey!
Ugh, that smell...
Is that fermented fish sauce?
- It's him! - Artist Jay!
Is it true you had inappropriate relationships with your students?
Could you comment on your scandal?
Police investigate more cases
Some are demanding for his permanent expulsion from...
He's completely done for.
And now, Bani's boyfriend candidates are...
- ...down to two? - What? Why two?
Jae-yeol and Ji-won!
What are you saying? I'm not like that with either of them.
More importantly...
I'm done with dating.
Wait, what are you even saying?
Don't go that far. Get a hold of yourself.
Would you date again after two major disasters?
I...
I don't want to overthink my emotions,
or get hurt.
The price I pay for opening my heart is too harsh.
But not everyone out there is a disaster.
You have two great guys looking out for you.
Bani, what if...
What if they actually do like you? Would you still refuse to date?
If they... like me?
Let's go.
Yeah, Bani. Let's get out here.
There's no way.
Why else would they take you home and worry about you?
That's just how Ji-won is. He naturally looks out for people.
And Jae-yeol...
Ban Hee-jin.
Let's go home.
I told you, he's no good.
Can't you tell what he is?
- What's your problem? - Stop embarrassing yourself.
You're not pathetic!
They're the problem...
Forget it. That's just not possible.
Those two together... It's unreal.
How blessed is Bani to be involved with both those two?
I thought our business was over.
I have no business with you. I'm here to drink coffee.
And this was the only seat left.
You're one cocky guy.
You got a problem with that?
Cuz I actually think you're alright.
Question...
Was it only about doing the right thing?
Getting in between Bani and Jay?
What? You still think I crossed the line?
Then what about you?
Just worried for Hee-jin?
Or is it...
...affection?
I mean, come on.
I get that you two are friends,
but you did do background checks for her.
You even made sure his funding got cut.
It was you, wasn't it?
- You're that curious about my feelings? - No, not at all.
It's none of my business.
What are they talking about? Wait...
Is this a love triangle over Bani?
Yes, I love it.
Hello?
Yes, this is Kwon Bo-bae.
Now?
Of course. I'll be there right away.
An audition? They want you now?
Yeah, like, right now.
- Can you cover my...? - Go! Just go! Don't worry!
Thank you!
Good luck.
Don't worry.
Go, Bo-bae!
No available taxi
Are you in a rush? Do you need a ride?
- Excuse me? - I'll give you a life.
- Should I go faster? - Yes, obviously!
Yes, yes!
Then hold on tight.
- Okay! - My scooter is faster than you think!
Ah, wait...
Thank you so much.
- Can I have your phone? - What?
Your phone!
My phone?
This is my number. Call me, I owe you big time.
I'll definitely call you! I'd be honored to...
I wonder what Bo-bae likes...
Thanks, Jane!
You were the perfect partner.
Group Project Topics: Space, Abstraction, Human Body, Layer, Animals, Nature, Objects
Who's taking 'Abstraction'?
- Me! - Min-ju.
Next, 'Human Body'.
Hee-jin and Ji-Won.
Okay.
Professor, me too!
Yu-ri too? Alright, a group of three.
Next, 'Layer'.
I'm not getting in the way, am I?
Of course, not It'll be better as a three.
Really? That's a relief.
Actually, I've always wanted to team up with you.
- With me? - Yeah!
And with you too, Ji-won.
Let's work well together.
Uh, yeah... Let's do our best.
Well, I have a class now.
I'll make a group chat.
- Sure, invite us. - Got it.
Bye.
What's going on? You're acting weird with Yu-ri.
I usually need a month to get comfortable with people.
Huh? Why weren't you awkward with me?
Good question. I never felt awkward with you.
Well, I am good with people.
I take after my dad.
My dad makes two new friends every time he goes to recycle.
I guess I inherited that.
Ban Hee-jin
You okay?
See? I knew it.
He pulled three all-nighters drawing the storyboard.
What storyboard?
It's for the competition we're entering.
Seriously, Jae-yeol never does anything half-heartedly.
- Good work, everyone. - Thank you.
- See you. - Bye-bye.
I just need to pick up the banner, right?
Yup, that's it. I have a class.
See you later.
Bye!
I thought you'd still be crying.
Guess not.
Why would I cry? You said they were the bad ones.
Alright, then.
About that...
Thanks for everything.
I have a class to go to. Bye, now.
See ya!
Is she really okay? Or is she just pretending?
Bani
Bani, want to have the special lunch tomorrow?
Bani
The equipment's ready. How's the storyboard?
It needs another all-nighter.
The shoot's tomorrow. Take it easy.
Might as well do it well, right?
Make sure Chun-sik and Ho-dong get the schedule.
Got it.
I'm off.
- What? - Fist-bump, man!
- Take care, bye! - Bye!
About that...
Thanks for everything.
I have a class to go to. Bye, now.
See ya!
Why do I suddenly feel happy?
Alright. Let's do this.
The special lunch was as good as ever.
I think you are addicted to flavor enhancers.
Look, I think they're filming.
Yeah, looks like it.
Okay, this time,
we'll do a dolly shot while moving side to side.
Just do as you did before.
I think Jae-Yeol's filming for the competition.
- Ready to go? - Yes!
- Dong-ha, let's go. - Yeah, let's do it.
Alright, camera rolling!
- And... ready, action! - Action!
Cut! Okay!
- Okay! - That was great!
Hey, are they K-pop idols?
Don't push!
We'll switch lenses and get a tighter shot.
Just keep doing it.
- Bani, let's go. - Okay.
Excuse me, coming through.
Don't push.
Coming through!
Don't push!
Jae-yeol, what's wrong?
Nothing, let's go.
Let's go again, people.
Jae-yeol kind of looked cool back there.
He seemed professional on set.
Are you actually complimenting him?
No, it's just...
I think he's not that bad of a person after all.
I wish he would talk nicer though, right?
Right...
Then what about you?
Just worried for Hee-jin?
Or is it... affection?
Thanks, everyone!
- Thank you! - Great work!
- Thanks again! - Good job!
Great work, everyone!
Jae-yeol, I knew it the moment I saw your storyboard.
We're going to win this one too!
Totally!
You're just trying to get me to pay for the food.
So, you're not buying?
You're not buying?
Fine, it's on me!
Everyone worked hard. Eat up.
- Thanks. - Let's dig in!
- Call us again anytime! - You bet.
Help yourselves.
Can we order some eel?
Of course! Eel for all of us, please!
Do you like eel?
You were dancing like an eel today.
Can you teach us a bit?
- Hello, sir. - Hello.
I'm here for the student council banner.
Oh, here it is.
Yup, thank you.
I just picked up the banner.
- Are you okay? - Where are you going?
I'm good, I'm good.
Ugh, I'm beat.
Bani
Why am I even calling her?
What am I supposed to say?
Or, wait...
I don't need a reason.
I can just ask what she's doing.
Nah... I shouldn't call for no reason.
Or should I?
Bani
Call
Student Council
Bani
Student Council?
The Student Council is Treating You!
Huh? Jae-yeol?
Huh?
You're Hee-jin.
Am I that drunk? Why am I seeing things?
Wait... It really is Hee-jin.
Hey, Jae-yeol! It's been forever!
Did you miss me or not?
Of course, I did.
Since you're visiting, the drinks are on me.
Of course, I'm a serviceman.
Huh? Wait...
I forgot my wallet. Wait here.
Okay.
Bani
Bani?
Title: Divine Beauty Artist: Bani (Ban Hee-jin)
So she was the same Bani...
Are you okay?
You're not hurt, are you?
Thank god...
Hey, Hee-jin.
You...
You keep getting on my nerves.
What's the problem this time?
I...
I'm messed up.
I...
I think I like you.
Crushology 101
Does he really...
...like me?
Me?
You talk so nicely to him.
Why talk cold towards me?
You better stop if you're playing around with Bani.
I'm not playing.
You said he doesn't like you.
It sure didn't seem that way.
Screw the equipment!
What if you had gotten hurt?
You even confessed to me.
It wasn't... a mistake.
