The ongoing Thai Drama Beauty Newbie, starring Win Metawin Opas-iamkajorn and Baifern Pimchanok Luevisadpaibul, showed an interesting development for the male protagonist. The previous episode ended suspensefully when Guy came face to face with his long-lost mother.
Since the series began, it has been hinted that Win Metawin’s character, Guy, has had a strained relationship with his mother. Beauty Newbie’s episode 5 finally brings the mysterious character into the spotlight.
Ms Linda (Jeab Sopitnapa Chumpanee), Guy’s mother, owns a perfume brand that inspired Liu to become a perfumer herself. In episode 4, Liu attended the company’s new perfume launch event, where she finally met her idol. Linda was impressed by Liu’s dream and her knowledge of scents. After the event, Linda invites Liu for drinks, and that’s when Guy comes across the “woman he hates” – his mother.
Beauty Newbie: Why did Guy’s mother leave him and his sister Gale?
In the My ID is Gangnam Beauty K-drama, the father tells the kids that their mother left the family and ran off with another man. However, there’s more to the story, as the mother had left to pursue her dream of launching a perfume brand. Similarly, in Beauty Newbie, the mother is introduced as the CEO of a perfume company. The viewers have yet to discover how Beauty Newbie will adapt the family plotline.
Guy and Gale have lived without their mother since a young age, so in Guy’s eyes, the siblings were abandoned by their mother. Understandably, he develops an intense hatred towards Linda, to the extent that he dislikes the scent that reminds him of her.
In previous episodes, viewers saw Guy asking Liu to find a perfume similar to his mother’s scent. He then revealed that that’s a scent he has hated. However, can Guy and his mother’s strained relationship be mended? Only time will tell.
