The Empress (2011)

Bar hostesses are invisible women who are only there to provide mindless entertainment to the powerful men who want their company. Growing up, Seo In Hwa (Jang Shin Young) saw her mother, who owned a hostess bar, get trampled and mistreated by these drunk and disrespectful men. While studying to become a painter at a prestigious university, In Hwa vows that she will live her life very differently from her mother's difficult life.
