After (During the series)

Baek-Hee admires and respects her best friend Hye-Mi who aims to be an opera singer, so much so that she copies the trademark braids that Hye-Mi wears. After a few complications and misunderstandings, Baek-Hee is led to believe she has been betrayed by her best friend and strives to beat her in the pop music industry. The harsh reality of the entertainment world causes a dramatic change in Baek-Hee, leading her to become manipulative and condescending towards those she believes of lesser talent than her.

Having gone through a number of complications, Eunjung’s character experiences a lot of changes turning her from an innocent character, to a villain, to a victim. Overall Eunjung’s ability to express the different faces goes to show the audience how vulnerable a woman can be as well as how fierce.
