AWFULLY SCANDALOUS AND BRUTALLY GLAMOROUS
Some people are dying to show off their happiness.
Why, you ask?
This looks better, right?
My husband cooking for me.
Though he's also busy.
This must be true happiness.
How to become a VVIP at Louis Vuitton?
It's simple.
You just have to spend 100 million won a year.
This is… Did I forget to take the tag off?
I forgot I even bought this one.
When did I get this?
HAVEN'T SWUM IN A WHILE
Wow…
Look at that body.
What?
Babe, how do I look?
Super hot, of course. You're my wife.
Look at my hot wife, everyone!
How successful you are, how wealthy you are,
-Look! -How much love and attention you get.
You're promoting the clinic. Why do I need to be in the picture?
Just once, please?
I have nothing to show but my doctor husband.
Come on, look.
MY HUSBAND IS SO COOL WHEN HE'S WORKING
Ta-da! Isn't it beautiful?
This color is called "Elwood Blue."
The only one in the country.
Today, I'm going to take it home…
In this day and age, all of those become a source of admiration and envy.
-What do you think? Do you like it? -But I wonder.
Are there really no other types of people?
The types that aren't so fond of the subtle boasts
of these successful people that overflow this world.
I don't like likes, everyone.
I DON'T NEED AN "ARMY OF HANDMAIDS"
WHY VOLUNTEER TO BE A HANDMAID? SORRY, BUT NO THANKS
PLEASE GIVE THOSE COMMENTS TO THE FEEDS OF OTHER PRINCESSES WHO SO BADLY WANT THEM
She's attacking us, isn't she?
Isn't it just you, Chae-hee? Your account's literally called princess.
What?!
She's attacking all of Gabin Society because of what happened to her today!
Me too?
People are also commenting that this is an attack on Gabin Ladies.
Do something about it.
It's you who got Seo A-ri into this world!
Someone who's been uncomfortable with those blindly worshipping them.
THIS DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE!!
It wasn't a provocation or an attack.
It was a gamble to find those people.
Because I believed that there must be people like me,
and that they would also be annoyed and dying to talk about it.
SHARE
I placed all the few chips I had gathered,
my 9,100 followers, on the table.
PLEASE FOLLOW BACK. LET'S CONNECT, A-RI.

DONGBU POLICE STATION
Your reaction is a bit different.
Oh, it's just, I met the others earlier in the afternoon.
SEO A-RI'S LIVESTREAM DAY TWO
How to put it?
They seemed to have some kind of resentment or hatred
towards Miss Seo A-ri.
A lot of people
hated her and kept her in check
because the truth is always unlikable.
That's why I liked her.
She was a clear and honest person.
Are you sure there weren't any other personal conflicts with her?
What kind of conflicts would there be?
Welcome home.
Oh, honey.
You look tired.
Events are always exhausting.
I heard you had a drink with Jun-kyoung afterwards.
Who told you that?
Chae-hee.
She was going ballistic about some woman,
asking me how they know each other.
Your sister.
Hey, Chae-hee.
What are you talking about? Slow down.
What do you mean, A-ri has attacked you and Gabin Society?
I DON'T LIKE LIKES, EVERYONE.
Does she not know how to stay out of trouble?
A-ri, come on out.
Come on out already, I said!
What's all this ruckus about so early?
What was that for?!
What's the meaning of this? Huh?
Did you lose your temper again and throw a fit?
You're on Instagram?
That's not what's important here.
Why did you cause all this trouble, foolish girl?!
Look at all the bad things they're saying and how many followers you lost.
7408 FOLLOWERS
Are you watching? What's the situation like?
Seo A-ri lost followers, and her feed is full of hate comments.
But all of our feeds are in trouble too!
We're getting all kinds of people mocking us, calling us princesses!
Seo A-ri, this crazy bitch!
What do I do?
I have to start a livestream for the mass purchase.
They'll ask me about this. What do I tell them?
Just go for it.
I'm about to start mine too.
I'm Jin Chae-hee, and we're Gabin Society.
You think someone like Seo A-ri can screw us over?
What was that for?
Acting like best friends, my ass. You approached me for this, didn't you?
You wanted to drag me down because I'm so successful!
Please.
Why would I go through all this for you?
What? Hey, Seo A-ri!
All I did yesterday was write what I was feeling, honestly.
Everything I saw and felt in my short time here--
Do you have any idea what became of us because of you?!
My feed is ruined too, because of you--
Actually,
your feed is in worse condition, isn't it, Miss Seo A-ri?
Your account lost 3,000 followers overnight.
6034 FOLLOWERS
Are you aware of what you've done?
Your honest thoughts?
Who writes something like that on social media?
It's Jin Chae-hee. She started a livestream too, Mrs. Lee.
Jin Chae-hee? Who's that now?
"Princess Chae," the final boss of this world.
Follow her on mine too. Let me turn on that livestream or whatever.
Ta-da! Today is the day I'm giving you a tour of my apartment.
You guys were asking me all the time to show my place on live.
I was in a good mood, so I'm here to grant your wish.
Oh, look here.
These are all the gifts my Insta friends gave me on my birthday.
I'm so touched. Thank you!
The best part of my place is the view.
Take a look. Isn't it amazing?
Wow, the weather today is wonderful.
Bathroom? Do you want to see it?
I have a huge bathtub, and it has a view of Namsan. Isn't it the best?
HAVE YOU SEEN SEO A-RI'S POST? WAS THAT AN ATTACK ON GABIN?
Seo A-ri?
Who's that?
Attack on Gabin Society? No way.
We don't even know her that well.
It was, I think, on Min-hye's livestream.
She was her friend selling cosmetics just to get by.
I saw her there once, that's it.
I learned her name just now too, because all of you Gellattos told me.
That's why this is even more absurd.
I mean, an attack on people that she doesn't even know?
If that's true, isn't she full of jealousy and an inferiority complex?
Not good enough to join Gabin Society but jealous. Right?
"I think it's inferiority complex, 100%." "She's just jealous."
"I hate twisted people like that."
"Others must look like handmaids just because she is one herself."
Exactly! I totally agree with this.
I mean, what's wrong with cheering up and praising each other?
Does me being a princess make you guys maids?
We're friends. Insta friends.
I'm angrier at Seo A-ri for mocking my Insta friends more than anything else.
"Maid A-ri."
Guess what it is.
This is…
It's your hate account.
MAID.ARI 33 POSTS, 342 FOLLOWERS
BOMB PLANTING COMPLETE
Having a hate account as soon as you appear, that's pretty amazing.
Miss Seo A-ri.
You're right. They're handmaids.
They leave comments on celebs' accounts and act like friends,
thinking that they're on the same level, and what did you do to them?
If you call an idiot "idiot," it's hurtful.
What handmaid would like to be called a handmaid?
A mess, huh?
Nah, this is just the beginning.
Not Jin Chae-hee's group,
but their followers are going to start bitching soon.
YOU GOT SOME NERVE PATHOLOGICAL LIAR
SEO A-RI FABRICATIONS MAID SEO A-RI
This is Seo A-ri. Can we talk?
THIS IS SEO A-RI. CAN WE TALK?
OF COURSE. THINGS ARE LOOKING PRETTY BAD.
I'VE ALSO BEEN WATCHING.
Okay, babe. I'll help with the attack.
Talk to you later. I love you, baby.
My apologies. Chae-hee was asking me to comment on some posts.
Jesus Christ.
What is it this time?
I DON'T LIKE LIKES, EVERYONE.
Thank you.
But, ma'am, why are you interested in something like this?
Could it be for your sister-in-law?
No, it's someone else.
I'm defending her so hard, I just made my eighth account.
Wow, Mrs. Lee, you're so good at it.
I started getting confused after about three accounts.
Why are there so many people bitching?
It's not like A-ri said anything wrong.
Hey! Where have you been? You weren't even answering my calls.
This is really bad.
You lost all your followers, and you even have a hate account.
So you two were defending me?
But they're not all against you.
Some of them agree with you and--
There's no point. Don't try too hard.
So, that's it?
You're just going to quit like this?
CURRENTLY ONLINE OF COURSE. THINGS ARE LOOKING PRETTY BAD.
What you told me yesterday, is it really possible?
Honey, are they not answering?
Honey, are they not?
Jeez, shut up!
Here, calm down and take a seat. Make your calls here.
They're really ignoring your calls?
I think they're going to kick me out for real this time.
Seo A-ri, that damn bitch!
Wait. Let me call Attorney Jin and ask.
Ask what?
-Why his sister isn't picking up. -Stop being ridiculous!
You're so stupid!
I'm just trying to help.
So? Did you do as I said?
Of course, how could I disobey you? I left ten comments.
Good job.
But our work didn't seem necessary.
Her account was flooded with hate comments.
It's different when I do it myself.
How dare she try to mess with me?
JI-NA
Yeah, what's up?
Oh, I'm just with Jae-hun.
Huh?
Hurry up and check Seo A-ri's account. Our accounts are also about to blow up!
Min-hye! Look at this. Something weird's happening!
You know I also do forums like The Young Mrs. with millions of members.
So? What about it?
Look, people are talking about Gabin Society and A-ri,
but things are going in a weird direction. Look, Myeong-ho.
PRINCESS, SERVANT INCIDENT
THE YOUNG MRS. FORUM
ATTACK ON GABIN SOCIETY, RIGHT? I DON'T LIKE THEM EITHER

I'M ON A-RI'S SIDE ALWAYS
I BECAME SEO A-RI'S FAN
WHAT DID A-RI DO WRONG?
THE YOUNG MRS. FORUM
Agreed! They were so annoying to even follow along.
That was an attack on Gabin, right? I don't like them either.
I heard all the handmaids are ganging up on the attacker. Is it true?
So stupid. What did she do wrong?

It's me, Seo A-ri.
DID YOU SEE YOUR ACCOUNT?
IT'S AS I TOLD YOU, RIGHT?
I KNEW WE WOULD BE ABLE TO DO IT.
I didn't know it would be this successful. Thank you so much!
I'M GLAD I WAS HELPFUL. THIS WAS ALL YOU, A-RI!
On Internet forums?
YES, THERE SHOULD BE A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT AGREE WITH YOU THERE.
IF SOMEONE BRINGS IT UP AS AN ISSUE, PEOPLE MIGHT LISTEN TO YOU.
By the way, who are you, bbb?
Why are you helping me?
I AM
IT'S NOT IMPORTANT WHO I AM
I'VE ALWAYS FELT THE SAME WAY AS YOU
I WANT TO BE OF HELP TO YOU
Welcome.
-Hello. -You're here.
Yes.
How is Chae-hee?
I came out of concern for her, but she won't come out of her bathroom.
She followed you around since she was a child,
so she tends to listen to you.
Could you go talk to her?
I will.
I'm coming in.
-Leave them be. I'll take care of it. -Are you crazy? Why would you clean it up?
You may go.
Yes, ma'am.
Why would I? You will, since you made the mess.
-Si-hyeon. -Chae-hee.
When will you grow up?
Why am I the only one always getting crap from you?
Seo A-ri has a K on her account now.
I had to close down mine because of that bitch,
and Seo A-ri got to 51K in those few days.
How does that make sense?
How can I be cool with this?
Why is that because of A-ri?
You say your thoughts on your account. Don't you think A-ri has the same rights?
Jun-kyoung!
Even he followed Seo A-ri.
He wouldn't follow me even when I asked. Why her?
The one person he's following is Seo A-ri.
Si-hyeon, what if he's
doing that thing again?
What if that's why he's doing this to Seo A-ri?
He is waiting upstairs.
I picked a bottle of wine I know well because I don't know what you like.
Just like this place,
that wine looks very expensive.
Not a very fitting setting for discussing a settlement.
Am I showing off again?
Don't get me wrong this time. I didn't mean to show off.
I'm just used to this kind of setting,
as I was back then.
I'll drop the charge.
It seems like I made a mistake.
What's this? So quick to admit and apologize.
No, it means I won't bother fighting to lose.
I didn't know you were such a big shot.
It'll be me who gets hurt the more I try to mess with you.
So I'm backing down.
It sucks, but I'll be a coward.
I'll excuse myself then. I think I gave you the answer you wanted.
Then… why did you start a fight there?
Did you think you had a chance?
I mean this. Social media.
I liked the posts on your feed. Did you not know?
I even followed you.
I couldn't help but be curious
about who you are, Miss Seo A-ri,
what you did today, and what you'll do tomorrow.
Following you tells me those things.
Just why are you doing this?
Why am I being so clingy to you, you mean?
Sure, you chose the word, so let's go with it.
Why are you being so clingy?
Someone like you has no reason to be like this.
I do.
"Princess maker."
A what?
You wouldn't know about this world yet.
"A princess maker."
That's my nickname.
It wasn't intentional.
But I date women below my class occasionally, so they call me that.
Class, you say?
So what do you say?
I'm pretty interested in you.
So, until you're also interested in me,
how about we try
meeting again a few times?
Brighter, please.
Yes, that's good.
So pretty.
Very natural on camera.
She's got character.
Right? A-ri can make anything look like a work of art.
How beautiful.
Here we go.

LAUNCH PARTY FOR "SWISS PERFECTION" THE HUE COSMETICS' NEW BRAND
You're home.
I'm about to leave. There's an event.
Oh, the party, right?
The launch event at Jun-kyoung's company.
-Send him my congratulations. -I will.
Also, tell him to be careful.
Seo A-ri? That's the name, right?
The woman that he's hooked on.
How did you know that?
Everyone knows about it now.
Apparently, he even made
a social media account for her.
He said he was sued by a woman for sexual harassment a while ago.
I think it's the same one.
Tell him to come to his senses, and find someone decent.
I don't know how long this one will last, but rumors can't ever be good.
You two are old friends, so he's gonna listen to you, right?
SWISS PERFECTION THE HUE COSMETICS
Hello, everyone. Ssinnim here.
I'm at the Swiss Perfection event today.
It looks amazing.
I haven't been to a launch event in a while.
Min-hye!
Min-hye, aren't you going inside?
-It's almost time-- -Just hold on a minute.
I need to see it myself.
Hey, Seo A-ri!
What is this car? Did The Hue send it?
Is it true that you're getting compensated for this event?
If you're asking whether I got paid to participate, that's right. So what?
Hey! How does that make any sense? Even I get nothing. How could you?
-You're nothing. -Why are you asking me that?
-Ask the guy in charge-- -Han Jun-kyoung.
Is the rumor about you dating him true?
Answer me.
Did you hit on him? Is that why they're giving you special treatment?
Oh Min-hye, let me ask you this.
Why should I answer you?
Such personal things should only be shared between friends, right?
I'm pretty sure we're done acting like best friends.
You… seriously…
-Min-hye-- -Let go.
Min-hye!
That's not-- The entrance is right here, Min-hye!
What? Seo A-ri?
The rumor has spread everywhere.
That Han Jun-kyoung made an account just to follow Seo A-ri.
Apparently, she's also getting paid for coming here.
-But she has less than 100K followers. -No way.
Chae-hee, is it true?
You should know. You're close to Han Jun-kyoung.
It's all bullshit.
-Jun-kyoung just has a-- -Oh my, Chae-hee!
-Hey, pretty girl! -Yeon-woo! Long time no see!
Right? It's so good to see you. You look prettier and younger.
Let's keep in touch.
It's a shame I only get to see my dear friend on TV.
You know Yeon-woo, right? Yeon-woo, these are my friends.
Nice to meet you. I'm a huge fan.
Isn't that Miss Seo A-ri?
It is!
-One second, please. -Yeon-woo!
Miss Seo A-ri?
-You know me, right? I'm Song Yeon-woo. -I saw you on TV.
I've wanted to meet you in person. I'm glad to see you here.
-You did? -It's great to meet you.
Your face is so small in person.
Oh, I had a question. Your posts are so stylish.
Do you manage it yourself or have a manager?
I usually manage it myself…
That actress's endorsement contract with your company is almost over, right?
I think she's approaching A-ri
because of the rumor that you two are dating.
A-ri is…
a good person.
Why don't you stop here if you're not serious?
You like her too, don't you?
We think alike as expected.
She's intriguing.
Very amusing.
Han Jun-kyoung.
Don't treat people so frivolously like that.
You hurt them every time you do.
Do I look frivolous to you?
You didn't get hurt.
You're fine, Yoon Si-hyeon, though you were one of my partners.
Oh, actually,
I should say I was one of yours.
Since I was the one who got hurt.
One, two.
Let's see.
-We both look good in this. -Yeah.
I should upload it to my feed.
-Will you upload it with me? -Yes.
100K…
101K FOLLOWERS
By the way,
the rumor that you're dating CEO Han Jun-kyoung, is it true?
Sorry?
Let's have dinner together, with Mr. Han.
I'd like to get along with you. Would that be okay?
-No, actually-- -Hey, Song Yeon-woo!
Jin Chae-hee, what is this? Are you crazy?
You're the crazy one.
You were just a desperate trainee from a shitty agency.
You think you can just walk past me now that you've become a star?
Seo A-ri?
Oh, is it because of Jun-kyoung?
You approached her because of the rumor, huh?
Thinking this bitch might be something.
You gonna beg her for a contract renewal?
-Hey, Jin Chae-hee-- -Whatever!
I'm cutting off ties with you first!
You two will get along well. You're both from the rock bottom.
Hey! What did you say?
I'm Song Yeon-woo. Do you think I'll let this go?
Damn bitch, how about me?
Do you not know who I am?
Are you aware who you're yelling at right now?!
Yeah, who are you?
Are you asking others because you too have no idea who you are?
What the hell are you saying? Hey!
I'm saying that my family is--
No, I'm asking about you, not your background.
On your own, Jin Chae-hee,
what are you?
Hey.
You got some nerve.
You think Jun-kyoung will help you?
-Bitch, the reason he's like that to you-- -Chae-hee, stop.
-A little more, and it'll become a scene. -Let go. She started it!
People are watching.
Are you okay with that?
I'm sorry. I apologize on her behalf.
Thank you, Chairwoman Yoon.
But I'm just too shocked right now.
What was that?
Let's head out. There should be a change of clothes in my car.
Okay.
Leaving already?
One minute.
Thank you.
It's just…
I feel like I keep owing you.
Can I also… follow you, A-ri?
-Huh? -On social media.
I also made an account.
I hope you will… accept it.
This way, we'll be friends and connect with each other, right?
"Connecting with each other…"
What do you all think that is?
The act of sharing thoughts and feelings in order to understand another human being
or something like that?
That's right.
I liked A-ri.
I got close to her and wished to be of help to her.
Until…
she did that.
Nope, that's wrong.
A human can never understand another human being.
One can only…
misunderstand each other.
Seo A-ri?
You really believe her?
Do you really believe what she's saying?!
You all know what Seo A-ri did.
Why she left social media as if she's running away.
ARE YOU REALLY SEO A-RI?
YOU CAN'T BE!
No way.
Seo A-ri shouldn't be alive.
That bitch has no right to be.
Seo A-ri is
a murderer! She killed somebody!
Someone that did everything for her.
Then, are the three of us all friends now?
Oh, that's right.
I did do that.
I killed…
somebody.
