feeling: touched
watching: 200 Pounds Beauty

After reading tallieme's blog on Thursday I decided to go with her recommendation and watch a Korean movie called '200 Pounds Beauty'...

I was not disappointed...

It is one of the best movies I've ever seen and although I've seen other bloggers rate it like... 8/10 or something like that, I give it a full 10/10 <333 I loved it SO much!!!

It was really funny which eventually turned into really touching and I'll admit I think I got a little annoyed at some parts but I could totally understand why they did that =/ Spoiler:

Like when Sang-Jun told Ammy they were only using Hanna: I think it was just to get Ammy to leave Hanna alone, but unfortunately Hanna heard it and took it the wrong way =(

And also when Hanna pretended not to know her father at the party as 'Jenny'--I can understand, because she didn't want to be found out, but that doesn't mean it was the right thing to do, so I did get annoyed at her there, but I can totally understand why she did it...

I also got confused at one point too, but yeah... Spoiler:

Like when Sang-Jun looked at the door then SUDDENLY jumped up, ran in and found the folder and connected Jenny to Hanna... I'm reaaaaally confused about that part? @_@

On Wikipedia it says he saw the 'Hakuna Matata' sign on the door so went through and found Hanna's file? Am I blind or is there nothing different on the door??? I didn't see a sign at all; the decoration looked exactly the same as everywhere else, and I also found it a bit random he shifted through her files and automatically found the file Hanna had connected her to Hanna? o_O

I also thought it was HIS house at first, then realised it wasnt... o_O;; And why WOULDN'T the file be in her hands? Isn't it the company's file? @_@

I was so touched at the end though... I have actually re-watched the ending 4 times and have cried every single time... Actually, what was really shocking was that I even cried the last time, when I was watching the movie without subtitles! Although I guess I do know what they're saying, but still...

So yes... That automatically bumps this movie into the 'Kuri's-absolute-favourite-movies-of-all-time' list XD

Anyways! After rambling so long, I should reaaaaally tell you guys what it's about, right? ^^;;

200 Pounds Beauty (미녀는 괴로워) is a 2006 South Korean comedy. The story tells the tale about a large girl that undergoes an extreme makeover. Hanna is an overweight phone sex employee as well as a lip sync vocalist for Ammy, a famous Korean pop singer.

Instead of being famous for her own amazing vocal talent, Hanna hides behind Ammy's performance stage and sings during Ammy's concerts, as well as recording all of Ammy's songs.

One day, Ammy humiliates her in front of the music company's director Sang-Jun during his birthday party, knowing full well that Hanna is in love with him. While crying in the bathroom, Hanna overhears Sang-Jun telling Ammy that even though they are just using Hanna for her voice, they must be kind to her so she will not walk out on them.

Heartbroken, Hanna decides to get a head-to-toe makeover through plastic surgery and puts herself in seclusion for a year as she recovers from the changes. When she comes back from the hospital, Hanna is incredibly beautiful as well as slender. No one, not even her best friend, recognizes her.

...I'm was lazy to type a synopsis, so, that taken from Wikipedia (with spoilers edited out) XD ...OoOoOoOo... She comes back completely changed =O What will happen? XD

Okay at one point it was so unbelievably cliché it wasn't even funny, but even so it was still so, so touching... Wuuuu TT_TT I loved it<333
