The moral of the story? Getting plastic surgery is great! But really, it’s a great romantic-comedy. I put it up there with My Sassy Girl. The story is pretty simple; it’s about an overweight girl who wishes she was thinner in order to get the guy she wants. Finally, she decides to get plastic surgery after which she lives a totally different life posing as a different girl while trying to get the man she loved and hiding her previous identity.
There’s a lot to the plot, but there’s enough comedy to even it out. I haven’t found anyone that doesn’t like this movie so if you haven’t seen it, get it.

Culture Notes
Lots of Koreans cough up around $2000-4000 in order to get “double eyelid” surgery. Americans don’t have a concept of double- or single-eyelids (which is what most Koreans have). Some of my friends have done that surgery. Personally, I don’t see a big difference and wouldn’t care if someone got it or not.
Here is what the general Korean eye looks before and after the surgery:

This song is SO catchy. I find myself humming it a lot between classes. The music video is really long (almost half is just pre-show stuff) but well put together. Props to JYP for getting a major part in the video.
Culture Notes
Korean humor includes a lot of poop jokes. Although you will find that in some American media (like Dumb and Dumber) there isn’t much in the mainstream. In Korea you’ll find poop humor in anything from kids shows to music videos to movies. Koreans are much more natural with bodily functions. Their logic is that everyone has to do it so why be wierd about it? It did take me a while to get adjusted to it, I was never a big bathroom-joke kind of guy.
