It's about Kang Han-na, a fat girl, weighing 200 pounds, which lend her beautiful voice to Ammy, the pretty famous singer who actually can not sing. So, Han-na records all of Ammy's songs and hiding behind the concert stage and sing, while Ammy pretending to sing in front of the audience who do not know about her lipsync. Oh, by the way, Han-na is also a phone sex employee.
I thought the movie plot was not too special. The fat girl who has a beautiful voice falls in love with Ammy's artist manager, Sang-jun, and finally she decided to do head-to-toe plastic surgery. She changed her name became Jenny after the surgery.
The question is: does Sang-jun fall in love with her?
Of course. Because she becomes beautiful and slender like a barbie doll, and her voice is really beautiful so that makes the artist manager eager to make her as a singer.
And another question: Is it true that everything went well and happy?
Hohoho. Of course not, people!
When Sang-jun knows the truth, he seems to be unable to forgive her for lying to him but says that he will still work to promote 'Jenny' and carry on with her concert scheduled the next day.
Han-na breaks down at this point, heartbroken and unable to pretend to be someone else anymore. Han-na tells him that it is incredibly frustrating and painful not being able to be just be herself but have to live a lie, especially in front of him. The surgery that took a whole year to recover from was not nearly as painful as realizing that she still could not be close to Sang-jun.
As Sang-jun tries to comfort her, she brushed away his efforts saying, "You broke my heart. Tissue paper cannot fix it."
FYI, 200 Pounds Beauty (Minyeoneun Goerowo) is a 2006 South Korean comedy film based on a Japanese manga, Kanna-San, Daiseikou Desu by Yumiko Suzuki. The literal meaning is 'Being Beautiful is Agonizing.'
The film was a financial success, earning approximately $45 million against its $4 million budget. It also received large critical acclaims, winning Grand Bell's Best Actress for Kim Ah-jung and Best Cinematography together with nominations for Best Film and Best Director.
Wow! Bravo!
By the way, I like this movie soundtracks. Almost all of the songs are pop rock genre, and Kim Ah-joong, the actress who plays Kang Han-na has a really good voice! Especially when she sang the song 'Maria', the Korean version of the song originally sung by Blondie.

Medicine really transform Kang Han-na into a sexy lady and oh, this was really romantic film indeed.
