Usually, I hate Korean movies but this one is an exception. While most Korean movies have bad story lines, scenes that are supposed to be funny but aren't, or mediocre acting, 200 Pound Beauty is the opposite. I watched this movie with my family, and we all loved it. The acting is great, and I'm very happy with the casting. Although the theme that the movie is based around can be considered in a serious light and there are serious scenes (plastic surgery, pressure to conform to the social norms), the movie is hilarious and I was ROFL'ing throughout the whole movie. There are inappropriate innuendos (which I would normally dislike), but they fit into the story line and just add to the overall hilarity of the movie itself. And the music just makes everything that much more perfect. I found myself singing Ave Maria, Beautiful Girl, and Byul over and over again because the songs were so catchy-and not in a bad way. The overall atmosphere that the movie created put me in a bubbly mood. There are a couple flaws in the storyline and there are a couple scenes where I thought "whaa-?" or "okay, don't really like this scene", and there were a few actors that didn't really act very well (but they scarcely appeared anyways so it doesn't really matter). Still, this is by far the best South Korean romcom in existence and the only one I'd recommend out of the myriad of Korean movies out there. I have watched this movie 10 times already and I'm still not bored yet.
