I like the message the movie wants to impart to its viewers. Beauty is not only what you see outside, it should be inside and out. A person should be atoned with himself/herself. Love yourself before anything else.

This review may contain spoilers
at the beginning it was carrying a great message that you should love yourself as you are and when you try to change because of someone
you are going to lose much
then i waited for the most important part when the ML is going to love her the way she was before plastic surgeries
but that doesn't happen
he said literally that she made him feel with disgust
then towards the end he said she was someone he used to love
???????? HOW COME ???????????
then he loved her the way she became after plastic surgeries
i dislike
this is saying you should be perfect as models so community will accept you
and then you are going to find yourself a lover
and i disliked the main FL she seemed to had real plastic surgery
especially at her teeth and lips :/

The music (Maria) is the best part, but it is also a good movie.
Maybe, kind of some spoiler-ish things but I swear I didn't tell you the whole plot!This movie is a "finding yourself" kind of movie. The weight loss and plastic surgery is similar to what you'd see in My ID is Gangnam Beauty (내 아이디는 강남 미인, sorry I had to look up the English title, so I think that is right).
The main character has terrible confidence, which isn't helped by the industry she is working in or that fact that she is a ghost singer to a skinny, societal-beauty-standard achieving singer. It's always sad to see that kind of situation, someone thinking there is something wrong with them, so they physically change it, but there are sooooo many plastic surgery clinics and ads everywhere in Seoul that this is pretty applicable to real life. In that aspect I like that it is relatable.
The movie definitely has funny parts! I like how the lead actress portrayed her character and I like the lesson of the movie. The main song, Maria, is the highlight for me (because I love high notes like in western music) and it's just a kicka** moment :)

I appreciate how honest it is about the way people get treated when they don't look a certain way and how they can get treated even when they do. It brings up a lot of good points in the 'What is Beauty' debate. But then it leaves you to your own devices and just expects you to figure out what the story is trying to say without ever making any declarative statements to guide you.
It had so much to say, but in the end, it chickened out and didn't say it. So why do I still love it so much?

I simply loved this movie. It is funny. it is sad. But most of all its inspiring. (Yes, its not really a "that could happen to anyone"-kinda story, but who cares? ^.^)
ANd I loved the ending.
Its simply perfect and the only one to bring across the message of the movie.
Oh, Its not really a love story about two characters falling in love but that's why this movie is so brilliant. Its more about...
well, you'll have to see for yourself.

i found myself not really caring much about the leads, i'm not sure if this is do to poor writing, poor acting or poor execution,probably a combination of the three.
and the music, ugh! the music was horrible. i'd rather listen to brittany spears warble whilst shavingher head.

Chirurgia estetica
Un film superficiale nella trama e nei dialoghi.L'eterna lotta tra aspetto e sostanza, forma e contenuto.
L'apparenza inganna nel bene e nel male .
Gli attori principiali sono belli e recitano bene e commuovono.
Tutto sommato è guardabile per trascorrere un paio d'ore di svago perché leggero.
Peccato che con quella bella voce non ci sono canzoni più numerose : avrebbero dato valore a questo filmetto.
