She dresses up to shop through wealthy areas to pretend to buy things and make her look like a rich person. She boasts to colleagues about an opulent fiancé. Obviously her real boyfriend is not rich but just an ordinary employee at a car dealer’s shop who loves her very much. As Ayoung’s lies continue, she loses respect from her colleagues, and it is only her boyfriend who believes he can guide her into the right direction. Will Ayoung be able to escape from her own prison of vanity?
