Girl in the Birdcage
Lee Chung-Eun is one of the talented, genius, and the chosen one at the renounce and famous Yun-Gwang Art School. Being the chosen one comes with a priviledge and special treatment from the school, which makes lots of people jealous and hate Chung-Eun. The incident 2 years ago, after being bullied then ran away and passed out on the street, Chung-Eun was saved by some girl. The thought of that savior, unknown girl who seems to glow brightly, keeps her calm and warm and she is able to cope with being bullying in school. She wants to someday repay this savior if they ever met. Eventhough her best friend, Sunhwa, is always there to protect the shy and awkward Chung-Eun, she keeps reminesce of her savior. Near the end of the 8 Hours Final Exam, her painting project was vandalized and all her art materials were destroyed. But with the thought of her savior, she mustered up the courage and was able to do new paint and finished it within 40 minutes. By chance, she met her savior in the same school and learnt of her identity as Hong Yumi, a popular girl and an 11th Grader just like her. They soon start talking and getting to know each other. Although Yumi appears to be very kind and gentle to Chung-Eun, she resents Chung-Eun for being the genius and the chosen one by the school who got special treatments. Yumi longs to be able to get into the special G/T Program just like Chung-Eun. Yumi sees Chung-Eun as a way to reach that goal. Will Yumi use her charming personality and manipulate Chung-Eun to do her bidding at all cost? Will Yumi ever come to like Chung-Eun for who she is? Love this twisted psychological plotline that keeps you hooked. Looking forward to the next installment. Cute drawing/artwork. Thanks.
