It looked cute. My predictions: That girl's (Areum, I think) parents are not really her parents. Her real mother is super wealthy and will need a transplant of some sort. BabyDaddy will turn evil and strike someone with a car sort of on purpose. Tiffany will have a new Korean name in a month (like Carl/Donghae or Anna/Can't remember). Areum (I think) will not be allowed to date Designer Guy because of Tiffany (by then known as Jiyung or something) and will seriously consider putting her in an orphanage, getting all the Western viewers mad. She won't, though.
No, let me change that. Some nasty people will pressure her into putting the baby into and orphanage. She'd never do that! They will repent and fall madly in love with the baby in the last episode. Some developmentally disabled person will come and save the day.
Well, those are my predictions. We'll see if I'm right!

Hello friends.. how are you guys.. it has been a while I contributed to the forum.. I could not join for the last drama because of various other commitments.. however, I did peek in to the forum from time to time to keep up with poodlepal nutty observations, Mara's travelogue and dodgerman's take on various characters..
I did watch the first episode and as usual it starts with a great promise.. and let us hope it stays that way... time permitting I will put in my 2 cents once in a while.. good to be back.. take care.

Just saw # 1--you know that 5 months from now---around Halloween, Poop Diaper girl will marry milk-in-the-lap guy. We saw another one where the younger sis of the main character spilled her eels on some dude on a bus and they ended up together. And in one, maybe The Road Home, the boy knocked over the girl(joAn) in the airport and broke something(perfume???) she was carrying.

Welcome back, Sara!
It's pretty much a given that the man and woman who spill or accidentally steal from one another wind up together. The baby is the unique angle in this one. They've never had a single mother with a baby before, though there have been adult children of single moms.

Just saw ep2---Let me guess---Poop Diaper Girl wins the contest, gets a job at the Company, falls in love with the rich milk in the lap boy and she is below his station and there is a rich girl who also loves him. Her name is Subin and she threatens to send the poor girl to Russia--sound familiar???

Oh,dodger,you are behind the times! That's the old, late 2000's cookie-cutter plot, This is 2015. Shows today are violent. Tiffany's father is going to come back, steal all the money from the company and his rich in-laws (who stole the money themselves)and either frame somebody or put them in a mental hospital, and or commit manslaughter. Then she'll win the contest and Subin will send her to Russia.

The name of the company holding the fashion contest is Winners Group and the brand they are advertising is Zishen. In Birth of a Beauty, the conglomerate is Winner Group and the girl becomes a model for Zishen brand.

Oh, thank you, dodgerman...I am only on ep 4 of Birth of Beauty but I wasn't sure if I saw Winners Group in both dramas or if I was just confused...lol....
There's an ad for it during the credits so I guess it's some kind of financial arrangement with the production group.
And lol to both poodlepal and dodgerman for their plot ideas...

I just saw ep 4 - the site where I watch it had such bad English subs that I understood more Korean...lol....hope that doesn't continue. Anyway this is sort of cute if not predictable.....

I get the idea that the predictability is the charm of these shows--like women's fiction where every woman returns home to a special island by the sea where everyone has a secret, or a Harlequin romance where every secretary has an affair with her rich, Greek boss--you wouldn't want her to lose the contest, or find out the rich guy is a jerk and dump him. Or have a mother-in-law who isn't evil, or know who everyone's parents are!
Getting ready to watch now episode 4. Have to get used to episodes ending in 3 or 8 on Monday.

Finished this week's eps....seems like there will be a few twists and turns - I'm liking it and predictable is fine.
