A 16-minute K-pop heist where stealing the wrong purse leads to a face you won't recognize.
Eunjung and Qri star as a pair of delinquent thieves who wind up in a huge mess when the bag they lifted from a club turns out to have been stuffed with drugs. A flashback sequence reveals that Qri originally was Jiyeon, but after a run-in with a couple of gangsters, they mauled her face and she ends up with plastic surgery leaving her looking like Qri, and unrecognizable to the man played by Cha Seung Won, whom she once loved.

Released as a 'music video drama' for T-ARA's 'Cry Cry' single, this format was peak 2010s K-pop storytelling—idols acting in narrative shorts tied to promotional cycles.
The casting doubles down on the identity theme: Park Ji-yeon and Qri are both T-ARA members, so the 'transformation' is literally one idol becoming another.
