First of all, I have to applaud Kim Ah Joong's excellent acting in this movie. She really played the innocent and sweet Hanna/superstar Jenny really well. I can't say much for the other actors, but Hanna's best friend was really convincing as well. One thing I was disappointed about was the acting of the male lead. I think it's just the role of the male lead in the movie that isn't much of a role, really, besides being the handsome guy Hanna likes, because I watched Empress Ki and his acting was much better in that drama.

Second, this movie made me cry so hard. You'll have to watch it to see what I mean, but I have re-watched this film so many times and that scene always squeezes out a bucketful of tears. Always.

Third, I loved Kim Ah Joong's singing! The OST "Ave Maria" and the song she sang as Jenny for the first time were so amazing. This isn't KPOP STAR so I won't go into details but those songs and the situations in which she sang them complimented her acting and really showed how much her character loved singing. I found myself downloading them after I watched the movie for the first time, and re-listening to them after I re-watched the movie.

As for the story plot, I won't spoil it, but I have to say that this movie really portrayed well the idea of using plastic surgery to remake your life. Plastic surgery is ubiquitous, particularly in Korea, but the topic is still a sensitive one in the Korean entertainment industry. I see that this movie addressed the issue well and I would like to see the entertainment industry accept and be more comfortable with plastic surgery.

I definitely recommend this movie! Watch it or re-watch it ^^
