So what this episode was truly about is the kind of date that Kyung Suk and Mi Rae went on. It's also interesting that Soo Ah still can't get in with Kyung Suk. It's any girl who takes the attention of a male away from her. Apparently it's not just Mi Rae that Soo Ah can't stand taking attention from her. The 'fat' one (gosh she's so beautiful!!!) who is starting a budding romance. What we do see is Soo Ah's attention turning to another fellow chemistry student. We see this older lady pop up to drop of groceries, but Soo Ah is cruel to her. We know she lied about where she lives and that she's living in a poor area. We're getting to see under everyone's stereotype. He needs to find a place to live and get a job, that just doesn't happen because he's the amazing lead who has connections.

The reality is that Kyung Suk doesn't really know how to interact with others, doesn't like to, and doesn't just have everything fall into place. The persona of the cool and aloof male lead isn't the reality. Finding out that Mi Rae is a bargain hunter and that she scrimps and saves.

Even showing that because he's lived rich he doesn't quite understand how the world works. What I love in this episode that it showcases Kyung Suk awkwardness and outcast status. But it's because we're seeing everything happening with all the characters, their connections, and it feels so great! I feel like many might say it's slowing down, and it does feel slower.

My ID is Gangnam Beauty definitely balances it's characters and stories well. 7/10 - This show balances it's character well.
