미녀는 괴로워 (200 Pound Beauty)

200poundbeauty

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.

Is the video broken?  Please comment so I can find a new copy.  Thanks!

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:
