Kim Yong-hwa (김용화), director of the 2003 hit-comedy Oh! Brothers (오! 브라더스), is back with 200 Pounds Beauty (미녀는 괴로워) – a romantic comedy based on Japanese manga by Suzuki Yumiko, “Does Beauty tell your fate or what?”

Synopsis: “Hanna is a lip sync vocalist for Ami, the famous Korean pop singer. Hanna suffers from having extremely poor self-esteem, as she has been ignored because of her appearance. At last, she makes the decision of a lifetime to have full-body plastic surgery. However, life being as it is, something unexpected awaits her…” (KOFIC)

Hana is played by Kim Ah-joong (김아중), who portrayed Bong Tae-gyu’s girlfriend in When Romance Meets Destiny (광식이 동생 광태). Other cast includes Joo Jin-mo (주진모), Kim Yong-geon (김용건), Im Hyun-shik(임현식), Lee Won-jong (이원종), Sung Dong-il (성동일), etc.

Saw the teaser a while back. I’m somewhat interested in seeing this movie. From the teaser trailer it looked like some kind of combination of The Nutty Professor and Shallow Hal, but the synopsis makes it sound totally different than what I was expecting.

without giving too much away, this trailer reminds me of a Thai commercial for tuna, which you can see here…

Movie section of Yahoo Korea website has just been redesigned, so that’s why the link doesn’t work any more. Try this one instead:
