Plot Synopsis by AsianWiki Staff ©

When Sung-Joon (Park Seo-Joon) was young, he was ugly and fat. He also didn't have any friends, but popular and pretty Hye-Jin (Hwang Jung-Eum) became his friend. She gave him comfort on rainy days when Sung-Jung feels traumatised. They held a special connection with each other, but Sung-Joon and his father moved to the United States. 15 years later, Sung-Joon returns to South Korea. He and Hye-Jin are set to meet again for the first time in many years, but Hye-Jin is unable to show herself in front of Sung-Joon who is looking for her. Both of their appearances have completely changed. Sung-Joon is now handsome and perfect in his appearance, while Hye-Jin looks nothing like her former pretty self. Hye-Jin is also unemployed and looking for a job.

Hye-Jin then asks her best friend Ha-Ri (Koh Joon-Hee) for help. Ha-Ri is to pretend she is Hye-Jin and go meet Sung-Joon. At their meeting, Ha-Ra pretends to be Hye-Jin and tells Sung-Joon that she is leaving for England the next day to study.

Later, Hye-Jin, as an intern at a fashion magazine, meets Sung-Joon who is an editor at the fashion magazine.

Notes

"She Was Pretty" takes over MBC's Wednesday & Thursday 21:55 time slot previously occupied by "Scholar Who Walks the Night" and followed by "My Sweet Family" on November 18, 2015. Park Seo-Joon and Hwang Jung-Eum acted together previously in 2015 MBC drama series "Kill Me, Heal Me.” Choi Si-Won, from idol group "Super Junior," will enlist in the South Korean military after his performance in She Was Pretty. First script reading took place July 30, 2015 at MBC Broadcasting Station in Sangam, South Korea. Due to a baseball game, ep.9 of "She Was Pretty" airs Thursday, October 15, 2015 in South Korea (instead of Wednesday, October 14, 2015).
