Her life then gets interesting as she meets a gorgeous arrogant fashion designer.

Episode 1

It started well.

Min Ye Rin is a middle age fat woman who found out that her husband was having an affair.  Her husband was very open about his affair and wanted to end their 17 years of marriage.

Min Ye Rin was on a vengeful mode and tried to think of inventive ways to kill her husband and herself.

She was about to hang herself when the doorbell rang.  She had a package.

She told the delivery man to keep the package to himself as she did not need it anymore.

The mysterious delivery guy used a building hoist to get to her and gave her the package and some sage advice.

As long as you are alive, miracles will come to you….

Thinking this she spotted the little package she threw in her bed.

It said, “I will come for you today”, and there was a bottle of perfume.

She curiously dabbed a bit of the perfume to her wrist and within minutes she turned into her beautiful younger self.  About 40 lbs lighter.

At first, she can’t believe it but miracles do happen…
