200 Pounds Beatuy



Expecting korean soap operas? This movie surpassed my expectations. It's funny, lighthearted, and touching to some tissue users out there. The background is about Hanna who is a the ghost singer for pop idol Ammy and a popular phone sex partner, the bright and lovable Hanna Kang (Kim Ah Jung) attracts everyone with her beautiful voice. But in real life, she is overlooked and made fun of because of her obesity. She secretly likes producer Sang Jun (Ju Jin Mo), but does not have the courage to tell him. When a malicious joke leaves her humiliated and heartbroken, Hanna makes a drastic decision: full-body plastic surgery. Months later, a slim and drop-dead gorgeous Hanna saunters into auditions, and easily wins over Sang Jun with her beautiful looks and voice. With her newfound beauty, Hanna gets everything she's ever wanted, including fame and love. But what will everyone think when they discover her true identity, and the secret behind her transformation? (From Wikipedia)
During the whole show I was laughing away at the stupid antics and jokes. It's really engaging to watch! Felt that it's one of the better korean slapstick laughing shows that I watched. Watch with your friends, or your partner and enjoy this lighthearted movie!

Recommended to watch!! (4/5 stars)
