In Su Gang Nam's Elegance is Our Series, the protagonist, Miray, is a teenage girl who grapples with feelings of inferiority and self-doubt stemming from societal beauty standards. She often judges others based on their appearance, mentally assigning them "prescriptions" of beauty, such as wishing for fuller lips or a flatter tummy. This critical mindset affects her self-image, leading to insecurities about her own appearance and contemplating plastic surgery.
