I heard about the story of 200 pounds beauty before but have no time to watch it. Yesterday (CNY Day1), went to auntie’s house and managed to watch the movie. This movie is based on a Japanese manga, Kanna-San, Daiseikou Desu by Yumiko Suzuki. The story tells the tale about a large girl that undergoes an extreme makeover to become a pop sensation.

Rating (5 stars MAX):

The story

An overweight phone sex employee, Kang Han-na (Kim Ah-jung) was also a secret vocalist for a famours Korean pop singer, Ammy. Han-na hides behind Ammy’s performance stage and sings during Ammy’s concerts, and records all of Ammy’s songs.

During the music company’s director Sang-jun’s (Ju Jin-mo) birthday party, Han-na overhears Sang-jun telling Ammy that they are just making use of Han-na for her voice. Heartbroken, Han-na contemplates suicide but is interrupted by a phone call from one of her phone sex regulars who happens to be a top cosmetic surgeon. She decides to get a head-to-toe makeover instead. Han-na puts herself in seclusion for a year as she recovers from the changes.

Han-na changed her identity as a Korean-American from California named Jenny, and earned her own recording contract. Meanwhile, romance begins to blossom between “Jenny” and Sang-Jun. But he then realised that “Jenny” is actually Kang Han-na.

So, will Sang-jun expose Jenny’s real identity? What will happen next? Watch 200 pounds beauty and you will know.
