"I just want to be loved!" is the cri de coeur of the protagonist in Beauty Water, a bone-chilling, can't-look-away animated thriller about the murderous lengths women will go to be attractive. All her life, Yae-ji's looks have been the cause of endless bullying, depriving her of career, romance, friendship, even dignity. Imagine her excitement when she receives a mysterious skincare sample that transforms her overnight. Instagram fandom and modelling contracts follow, but beauty is an addiction that leads to a hell of unspeakable horrors.
