Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

"200 Pounds Beauty" (aka "Minyeo-neun goerowo") sort of is a modern day Cinderella story, although with a twist. And it does differentiate itself from the numerous South Korean romantic comedy movies, which in itself in an impressive feat.Director Yong-Hwa Kim has managed to put together a great romantic comedy that didn't follow the standard recipe of how to make a successful rom-com. As such, "200 Pounds Beauty" was a nice breath of fresh air to the genre.Think Cinderella and you have the core essence of the movie. Han-na (played by Ah-Jung Kim) is a large singer who is doing the singing for a lip syncing popstar, hidden away because of her size and appearance. Undergoing full cosmetic surgery Han-na becomes everything she dreamed of, but she loses herself along the way and turns into what she always hated.This comedy is not the kind that will leave you flat out laughing, but instead it is a good story with subtle comedy that will make you feel good. The nice storyline is accompanied by equally nice acting performances.A big thumbs up to Ah-Jung Kim for her performance in this movie. She really did carry the movie quite nicely."200 Pounds Beauty" is a benchmark in the South Korean romantic comedy genre, and it is a must watch if you enjoy this particular genre. It is a beautiful movie that will leave a lasting impression. Highly recommended that you sit down to watch this movie.

First of all, I had to stop the film just to look this up on IMDb. Imagine my shock and awe when I saw the "excuse me for being crass" absolute morons that wrote long and disgusting reviews. Raymond-lanier even shared this gem with a child. So much for "anyone can breed" theories. I can't really say it better than Proterozoic did. I can't really say it as nicely as he did so I will leave the review to him/her. I say this because I would like to pull every hair out of all your heads who gave this more than 1 star. Only because I couldn't give it a minus star. You see, I don't have the patience or couth that Proterozoic displays. I can imagine how anyone would feel looking at this film and the reviews having a weight problem. You really have to be scraping the bottom of the barrel for this one. I know the culture looks at fat people as suicidal and you have proved that the good ole USA see's it the same way. Better dead than fat. I have got to admit after my rant that the only thing that disgusted me more than the movie were all your reviews.

This movie was so enjoyable right after i watched it, I watched it again. . . the movie follows a girl named Kang Hanna who aspires to become a singer,but instead sings for a phony named Ammy since she's not the typical image that people would want someone to see. The movie is very comical in many situations from beginning,middle,and end,but as funny as it was,also it was very emotional. The morals you learn from this movie can be many mixed into one movie,which is always a plus. You'll gain mixed feelings for each character starting from probably liking them to STRONGLY hating them for some of the stuff they have the balls to pull off. Kang Hanna finally decides to get surgery to lose her weight and alter her appearance and that's where you may start hating her,she turns from big and cute to slim and slutty. She even turns her back on her friends and father,which you will see why the ending makes a huge emotional impact, it is pure fabulism as YOU WILL start crying,hiding your tears from such an ending is just not possible for a human being to hide. 200 pound beauty can easily be one of the best in korean cinema and i'm glad i was able to glimpse the title and watch it.

This is a movie that follows a typical happy romantic comedy.. starts off happy, goes down.. back up.. and it hits the top and stays there. But then again, 200 pounds beauty is SO much more! On the surface it is already a great movie. The fat girl protagonist Hanna is very cute and kind, later she turns into beautiful and thin but still kind and innocent Jenny. So there's a bit of eyecandy, both cute and sexy throughout the whole movie. But then there's the funny bits, the movie has hilarious little kicks throughout the whole movie, making you laugh at all the right movies.But then there's a deeper side. This movie talks about themes such as the superficial view of the world, how beauty becomes an obsession, how the most beautiful heart can hide inside a bigger girl, how people will give everything to a girl with beautiful face-- superficiality yet again.The sad parts that touched deep to the heart of the film are very well scripted and acted.. I cried so many times watching it to see an 'ugly' girl turned beautiful, but having to give so much up and yet not quite happy with the shallow joys that this new body and face have given her.A small disappointment however was that the story's villain did not do much and disappeared for the majority of the movie and out of the viewer's mind, rendering the character pretty useless and taking away a little something more the movie could have had.Overall, a feel-good movie that is a definite must watch! It goes above all my initial expectations and is guaranteed to make you laugh, cry, love and think!
