She isn't pretty or slim or rich. She knows there's no Prince Charming waiting to whisk her off her feet. When she gets stressed out with life, she eats and sleeps and couldn't care less what anyone else thinks.

When Sam Soon loses her job as a pastry chef on Christmas Eve, her problems are just beginning. She spots her boyfriend going into a hotel with another woman. At first she wants to charge right in there and confront him, but instead decides to wait for him to come out, planning to dump him in front of everybody. However, when he finally does materialize, Sam Soon breaks down and begs him not to leave her for the other woman.
