200 pound beauty

I had another blog post planned but my sister mentioned this movie and ... well that completely usurped my entire nights plans. Granted I had planned to watch new girl and gorge on chocolate but damn'it they were good plans 

I had no idea I was going to like the movie, as I have a bad track record when it comes to watching Korean dramas. I've been 'watching' Coffee Prince for the better part of a year now and i'm only an episode in.

I'd heard several friends talk about the movie and I had it the back of my head that I did need to watch it but i'd sort of, put it off and off for so long and when my sister talked about it today I kind of went, 'DAMN WE ARE DOING THIS, IT'S A THING'.

And watch it we did, it's 2.55am and we're sort of in the aftermath of the movie and i'm so happy I did it. (Also my sister being the charming little bastard she is jumped at the chance to make me watch more Korean things as now we have an episode of Coffee Prince loading... hmmm ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°))

So the movie is about Han-na Kang, a very overweight girl, who despite the weight I find very charming and cute, she's literally so sweet I love her.

She's such a cutie honestly (✌ﾟ∀ﾟ)☞

She's in love with a producer for idol 'Sang-jun, (I neglected to mention that Han-na is 'the voice' while Amy is 'the face').

For a lot of the movie it feels like all Sang-jun see's is dollar signs rather than Han-na, I don't even think he's sort of, particularly mean to her, he just, she's an employee, nothing more? He doesn't go out of his way to be mean, or to be nice, he's just a boss? Amy however is a douche, she makes digs about Han-na's weight and stuff and it's just so nasty to watch.

Also a point to note is Han-na's dad is in a hospital, I think he has some sort of Alzheimer-y illness (it could just be dementia) but it seems he's forgotten a lot and thinks Han-na is his (presumably) late wife.

Stuff happens (which I won't explain as spoilers woah)  but Han-na decides to get some fancy pants plastic surgery to make her feel beautiful, sort of a 'I want my outside to match my inside kind of thing'.
She gets it done, loses all her weight and is super beautiful.

However everything doesn't go the way she wants it to, it kind of does, but doesn't at the same time.
I think the movie's main point was;

You can change yourself to be beautiful on the outside, but until you are happy with yourself as a person, you won't be truly happy.

At least that's the point I took away from the movie.

The other point is that Sang-jun becomes more attractive  the more you watch.

 

Damnit Sang-jun you handsome devil

I'd seriously recommend this movie if you sort of enjoy that whole issue of weight debate.
I mean I love the transformation in it, seeing Han-na grow as a person to a point where she stands up for herself and isn't ashamed of how she used to be anymore.
Plus there are some funny points.

My stance on plastic surgery and weight loss are pretty simple, 'do what you want to make youself happy'
you want to lose weight do it, you want to gym it, do it, lipo, do it, plastic surgery, do it. Personally I see nothing wrong with it, as long as you don't tread the.... ' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J4cjE8n48RA ' kind of route. 

I mean if I could afford it i'd get some work done, I need a nice nose. (ღ˘⌣˘ღ)
