How to Use Guys with Secret Tips begins by showing a young woman named Choi Bo Na.
Bo Na has worked in an advertising studio for about five years but until now she still
hasn't gotten a promotion.
She also often gets bad treatment and discrimination from her boss or co-workers
because of her unattractive appearance and her too tomboyish style.
That morning, Bo Na asked one of her female colleagues named Kim Mi Ra,
who served as a writer, to fix the comic script on a page.
However, other colleagues defended Mi Ra and said
that Mi Ra's writing was correct and more enjoyable.
Bo Na is used to this kind of treatment and she is often ostracized.
After that, Bo Na followed up on an advertisement proposal to her co-worker named Sung Jae.
After reporting his proposal to Bo Na, Sung Jae says he'll get a promotion soon.
Hearing this,
Bo Na looks annoyed that she has worked longer than Sung Jae
but has not yet received a promotion at all.
Bo No then goes to her boss,
director Yook Bong Ah and asks that she also be promoted,
but director Yook refuses and says that Bo Na's appearance and performance have not improved.
Sometime later,
a famous actor named Lee Seung Jae signed a contract with their office studio
to talk about filming a commercial that they would do on a beach.
When he arrived on set,
many people looked up to admire and idolized Seung Jae because of his good looks and charisma.
But of all the people who were there,
Bo Na was the only one who laughed because she remembered the funny
incident that Seung Jae did a few years ago.
In the past, Seung Jae who is not yet very popular
once came to the advertising studio at Bo Na's office and thought that Bo Na was the director
so he showed all his talents.
Now that Seung Jae has become a famous actor and is acting cool,
Bo Na becomes amused by his antics.
Now Seung Jae is getting a little arrogant and
doesn't even remember Bo Na at all so he acts ignorant and doesn't care about her.
The filming process took until late at night.
Bo Na, who felt exhausted,
accidentally fell asleep on the beach and her colleagues left her alone.
When she wakes up from her sleep,
Bo Na sees a truck with very festive lights selling various tapes and illustration books.
Later, an old man offered her a videotape entitled 'How to Use Guys with Secret Tips'.
The man seemed to know that Bo Na's life was miserable and she still didn't have a boyfriend.
The man then gave Bo Na an illustration book and the video cassette as a gift.
After arriving home, Bo Na immediately played the videotape and watched it carefully.
In the video, a man promises that all the types in the video will make Bo Na
get the life that she has always wanted.
The first thing Bo Na learned was how to make a man do
what she wanted by smiling and making eye contact with that person.
The next day Bo Na started to apply the tips from the video to her daily life.
While in a hurry to get into a taxi,
Bo Na smiled sweetly as she looked at the man who had snatched her taxi before.
Unexpectedly, this method allowed Bo Na to come to her office without being late as usual.
While at the office, Bo Na starts smiling sweetly at all her co-workers in hopes that
she can impress them.
One of her co-workers asks her about the video data file from the previous ad
filming on a beach with Seung Jae.
Hearing this, Bo Na immediately looked for the file in her room,
but it turned out that she had lost her bag in a taxi she had taken earlier.
That means all the files containing the video from their commercial shoot have been lost.
As a result, director Yook felt very angry and immediately scolded her. After Bo Na got home,
she went back to watching the video tips to find out how to apologize properly and can make other
people forgive us instantly. After finding out how, Bo Na immediately put this into practice
with her boss and persuaded them to film again to complete the ad project. And again, this
method succeeded in making her boss forgive her and be willing to help her. But on a condition,
Bo Na is the one who must contact actor Seung Jae and ask him to return to shooting commercials.
The next day, Bo Na changes her appearance and goes to Seung Jae's place to ask him to
shoot a commercial. She initially goes to Seung Jae's manager named Lee to be allowed
to meet and be allowed to talk to Seung Jae. After successfully persuading Manager Lee,
Bo Na went straight to Seung Jae and whispered in his ear. Bo Na learned all those techniques
from the video she had seen earlier. But it seems that this method still hasn't succeeded
in making Seung Jae comply with her request. Bo Na then apologizes to Seung Jae with soft words,
hoping that this will affect him. Seung Jae, who still doesn't care, immediately asks Bo
Na to get out of his apartment, saying that she is only being cute because she needs his help.
Hearing this, Bo Na feels offended because she is not a selfish person like Seung Jae claims.
She then explained that she had worked for many years but still didn't get a promotion. She was
even always discriminated against and mistreated at work simply because of her unattractive
appearance. After explaining the difficulties and bitterness that had been experienced so far, Bo Na
immediately said goodbye from Seung Jae's place. When Bo Na came out, she almost fell because she
wasn't used to wearing high heels. Fortunately, Seung Jae immediately caught Bo Na and helped her.
The following day, Bo Na packs her things after realizing that she might be fired for failing
to persuade Seung Jae. Luckily that didn't happen because it turned out that Seung Jae
and his manager were willing to reshoot their studio commercial.
After Bo Na and all the crew were ready, Bo Na heard that the director and his assistant had an
accident. Bo Na, who was worried that the filming of this commercial would fail, decided to take
the director's role to direct the filming that day. Unexpectedly, Bo Na completed the filming
process that day with excellent results, and all processes could run smoothly without a hitch.
A few days later, director Yook received praise from the producers
because the results of this commercial shoot were very satisfying. In fact, all of that is
the result of hard work from Bo Na who managed to direct all the filming process very well.
In the evening, Bo Na and Seung Jae have dinner at a fancy restaurant and their relationship
becomes closer. That night, Seung Jae and Bo Na kiss and spend the whole night together.
The following day, Seung Jae said goodbye from Bo Na's house and said he would invite
her again to have dinner together. Bo Na who looks happy, seems to be starting to like
Seung Jae. The romantic relationship between them finally became exclusive news in various media.
Over time, they began to meet often and spend time together. However, Bo Na slowly realizes
that Seung Jae approached her only because he was attracted to her sexiness. After finding out about
it, Bo Na feels annoyed and angry that she decides to start being cold to Seung Jae. Bo Na said that
their relationship was not clear at all because Seung Jae never confessed his feelings to her. Bo
Na's cheeky and cold attitude makes Seung Jae feel confused and even interested in conquering her.
Seung Jae starts trying to get closer to Bo Na and seduces her to impress her.
But Bo Na still ignores Seung Jae and it makes him feel frustrated and not focus on his work.
One day after Seung Jae finished his photo shoot, he got a message from Bo Na to come over to her
house and bring alcohol. Seeing the message, Seung Jae thinks that Bo Na has fallen for him
and wants to get back together with him again. Seung Jae, who was excited to sleep with Bo Na,
had already taken off his clothes and lay down on her bed. Bo Na who just came out of the bathroom,
looks surprised because she feels that she didn't invite Seung Jae to her house.
Turns out, Bo Na originally wanted to message her coworker to bring alcohol because she was going to
have dinner with all her coworkers, but she sent the wrong message to Seung Jae. At the same time,
Bo Na's coworkers have already arrived at Bo Na's door, so she immediately asks Seung Jae to hide.
Seung Jae who felt panicked, immediately ran out through the balcony. Unfortunately, it actually
made the towel covering Seung Jae's body fall. As a result, Seung Jae was completely naked without
having any cloth. Seung Jae quickly runs to his car and immediately returns to his apartment.
Unfortunately, Seung Jae gets into trouble again because there is an examination carried out by
members of the police in the middle of the trip. Seung Jae has to endure embarrassment because he
was caught not wearing any clothes while driving. Several policemen laughed at him and immediately
took a photo of Seung Jae to share on social media. The news about Seung Jae driving naked
became viral until a newspaper reported it. The scene changes to the moment where Bo Na
is watching the video tips she has learned to change her life and make herself more confident.
The next day, Bo Na gets an offer from a big advertising company to work on a big project.
Director Yook who knows this is also happy and supports her. Since then, Bo Na has often
received big project offers and now she has become one of the most famous directors on the rise.
One time, Bo Na coincidentally met Seung Jae and another actor named Ji Hoon in an
advertising project where Bo Na will be the director of the commercial filming.
Seung Jae seems to still like Bo Na and gets jealous whenever Ji Hoon is seen
being close to her. Seung Jae tries to approach Bo Na and talk to her but Bo Na doesn't care at all.
The night after filming was over, Seung Jae asked Bo Na to come with him but Bo
Na refused and immediately left him. Seung Jae then chases after Bo Na and asks her about how
important he is in her eyes. Before Bo Na could answer, two girls who recognized Seung Jae ran
up to him and asked to take a photo together. The funny thing is, Seung Jae even rolled his
eyes and said that he wasn't Seung Jae but just an ordinary guy whose face was very similar.
It made the girl surprised and immediately ran away, leaving him. Bo Na who saw Seung Jae's
funny action, laughed out loud because she thought that he was very silly.
Bo Na and Seung Jae finally start to make up and that night, they decide to eat together at
Bo Na's house. While putting in an omelet for Bo Na, Seung Jae gave her an illustration book.
Seung Jae and Bo Na were too busy talking to each other that they forgot to turn off the stove.
As a result, Bo Na's stove caught fire and they had to put out the fire immediately. They looked
panicked and immediately tried to extinguish the fire. After successfully extinguishing the fire,
Bo Na and Seung Jae laughed out loud because of the ridiculous incident they had just experienced.
That night, Seung Jae stumbles across the video that Bo Na has been using to take
advantage of all men. After knowing this, he felt disappointed and immediately left Bo Na.
Since then, Seung Jae's attitude towards Bo Na has returned to being
cold and indifferent because he feels that Bo Na has taken advantage of him.
A few days later, Bo Na received an offer of cooperation from a famous director named Park,
who was successful in advertising. Director Park invited Bo Na to collaborate on a project soon.
In the evening, Seung Jae goes to Bo Na and asks her to explain everything about the video.
Bo Na then explained that the video had helped her live a better life because she had never been
appreciated by anyone so far. Even the video makes Seung Jae able to remember and realize
her existence. The next day, Bo Na starts working on her project with director Park.
However, director Park arranged all processes and concepts of the video.
Bo Na seemed annoyed that the filming process didn't go as she expected.
She then protested to director Park to carry out filming according to the previously
planned concept, but director Park ignored her words and asked her to follow his directions.
In the same building, Seung Jae and Ji Hoon get into a fight because of
a misunderstanding where Seung Jae thinks that Ji Hoon has a relationship with Bo Na.
Meanwhile, Bo Na who feels annoyed finally decides to turn off the electricity in the place
and asks the main cameraman to follow her directions. At the same time, Ji Hoon and
Seung Jae are holding a press conference to clear up their previous misunderstanding.
When manager Lee accidentally drops the barrier between the conference room and the ad studio,
Seung Jae sees that director Park is scolding Bo Na. Seung Jae, who felt disapproved of director
Park's treatment of Bo Na, immediately approached him and defended Bo Na. Seung Jae explains that
Bo Na is a person who has been able to drive himself crazy and it's hard to forget her.
However, director Park even though that Bo Na had deliberately engineered the incident to
increase her prestige. Bo Na gets offended and says that she's not that kind of person at all.
As a result, there was a debate between director Park and Bo Na,
Seung Jae, who was annoyed, immediately hit director Park, causing a commotion there.
Luckily the matter was resolved and director Park had also left the place.
After all that, Seung Jae and Bo Na talk to each other. Seung Jae says he is willing to
be the man Bo Na takes advantage of because he loves her so much. Bo Na smiled and immediately
embraced Seung Jae. Bo Na asks Seung Jae to close his eyes, and they kiss.
The moral that can be learned from this movie is in maintaining a dating relationship,
we must give each other understanding, and understanding of each other.
