Pretty Pawn : A Smile For Survival

Seul-ki has always kept her world small and steady—early mornings, long hours cleaning in the shadows of wealth, and quiet nights spent studying for a future she’s not sure she’ll ever reach. Working as a maid in the home of the elite Han family, she’s learned to be invisible, especially around Ji-hoon—the arrogant heir who seems to delight in her discomfort.



But everything changes when she's invited on a luxury trip she never asked for, swept from the quiet corners of the estate to a world of private jets, designer smiles, and icy stares. Among the glittering elite, Seul-ki becomes the target of cruel games, particularly from Srey-na, Ji-hoon's dazzling but dangerous girlfriend. Yet behind Ji-hoon’s smirks and Srey-na’s taunts, something deeper simmers—tension, secrets, and a fragile spark that neither Seul-ki nor Ji-hoon expected.



As ocean breezes blow across the private beaches of Jeju Island and moonlit dinners blur the line between service and belonging, Seul-ki must decide what she’s willing to risk: her pride, her heart, or the fragile safety of staying unseen.With the help of Jun-ho she is able to overcome allof her terrible past and the pain she has gone through.
