Because of an unexpected opportunity, Lin Xiao Xi, who used to be an overweight girl, transforms into a beauty named Alice, thus starting a story full of twists and laughs when she is caught between her childhood friend and her lifelong crush. Lin Xiao Xi is an optimistic and cheerful girl who loves chasing after celebrities. She lives happily on an island and runs a photography studio that is doing pretty well. The only drawback is that Xiao Xi is a bit fat! Her peaceful life is stirred by the appearance of male idol Huang Ke who reignites her determination to lose weight. Just as expected, she fails in her endeavor yet again. By chance, Lin Xiao Xi comes across a magic potion that can allow her to lose weight magically. After her transformation, Lin Xiao Xi uses the pseudonym Alice to approach Huang Ke. Meanwhile, her childhood friend Han Bing repeatedly blocks her attempts to get together with Huang Ke. Ever since they were young, he has always been by her side and has gradually come to understand his underlying feelings for his best friend. (Source: ChineseDrama.info) Edit Translation

Honest review on this movie

*no major spoilers*
When I first saw the trailer of Oversize Love, it looked very interesting but after watching the movie, I was disappointed. First off, I felt that the movie was rushed in a way that the story plot was not set up smoothly and I didn’t really feel chemistry between the actors. I would like to also mention that I think it would have been better to be a drama instead of a movie which would produce a better story plot and help build the chemistry between the actors. Also, the title of this movie is alright and would have liked it to be witty because the movie incorporated some aspects of the movie “Alice in Wonderland” which could have produced a connected concept. With that, I don’t think I would rewatch this movie but would be interested if there would be a Chinese drama with a similar concept. So my overall rating of this movies is 5/10.

Good premise & cast with many BUTS (disappointed)

The setup of overweight FL and her long time friend, ironically ML was real chubby when young n FL stood by him. Throw in Madhatter from Alice in wonderland and a potion that instead of growing tall/shrink is a magical slimming potion. All this is going really well until the 'BUT' starts:

The leads have a good chemi but the story isnt exploring it in the right way. I want to enjoy their friendship and their blurry feelings for each other. Instead theres so much wasted footage on unimportant things.

SML is also a character that wasnt likeable. His personality is the opposite of his appearance. I get annoyed when he constantly fat shame bigger sized women. I did not enjoy them and also felt Xiao Xi wasted too much time on him.

Given that the leads wasted so much time. I thought the make-up would be good. I didnt mind the comedy bits here. Except the way it was wrapped up was very disappointing. I am left wanting, wanting a rewarding couple moment of Xiao Xi and Han Bin.

The appearance of the movie promises a sweet romance between 2 friends but it never delivers on that promise. And its a shame cause the actors were great but the plot and direction went awry.
