Review: 200lbs beauty


Year Released: 2006
Genre: Romance, Comedy, Drama
Title: 200 lbs Beauty
Category: South Korean Movie

Web Summary: Hanna is the famous Korean pop singer. She suffers from having extremely poor self-esteem, as she has been ignored because of her appearance. At last, she makes the decision of a lifetime to have full-body plastic surgery.

JM's Review: This is the first ever Korean Movie i have watched. At first i thought that it was weird to promote Plastic Surgery but after watching it, i learned about the pain of the main character, about how she lingers at the sidelines and watch someone prettier take the limelight. I know its not easy being fat, most of the people with issues about their weight tend to suffer from really low confidence. No matter how talented they are, they will be ridiculed by others because of their weight. Just like Hana, she is a very good singer, all she needs is a lot of confidence in herself. The actress Kim Ah Jung portrayed the character really well. She is very funny in an awkward way. I love how she always exaggerates her facial expressions as she plays Hana. I literally cried during the time when she confessed to Sang Jun (played by Ju Jinmo) that she was Hana and that when he broke her heart is more painful than what she went through. I felt bad when her character had a fight with her best friend just because she doesnt want her to have the same fate of being hurt. Can i has another tissue? *le troll face*

Final Verdict: A really classic comedy, I never regretted watching it and i will always would want to watch it again.

Overall Rating: 8/10 (Because i still feel that its wrong to turn to plastic surgery regardless of how bad you feel about yourself)

Recommendable? Definitely, I recommend this movie to those who want to laugh a little and try to forget about some of their life's troubles. :)
