I had heard this was a bit hit in Korea, so I decided to pick it up, but I should have known that any Korean film about a woman getting plastic surgery to gain the love of the man she wants, would have to be painful to watch. This was one of two films I ripped and brought on my brand new iPhone to watch, and I should have not wasted the time, this is a pretty pitiful film, and even the good looking women don’t help this dog of a film. Don’t waste your time on the Region 3 Korean DVD.

This is the story of the fat and ugly Hanna (Kim Ah-joong (김아중)) and she not only makes a living as a phone sex operator, but also as a singer, where she sings behind the stage for the new big hit superstar Ami, who can dance and is beautiful, but has no acting talent at all. She is in love with the producer Sang Jun [Joo Jin-mo (주진모)], and when she starts to realize he is just using her, she decides to go to doctor who having phone sex with her, and blackmail him to give her a full body job, and along with exercise she becomes a whole new woman, and emerges a year later as a whole new person.

REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS…

Hanna ends up getting in trouble with police who don’t believe she is who her ID says, so she has to get her best friend [Kim Hyeon-sook (김현숙)] whom only recognizes her once she sees her Tattoo.

It seems that Sang Jun has been looking for someone to replace Hanna, to restart Ami’s career which has stalled for a year since Hanna disappeared. They hold a new casting call looking for new people and Hanna comes in her new identity, Jenny, and quickly gets the job, but instead of getting the job as Ami’s singer, she is given her own singing career as an example of a girl next door, with no plastic surgery or anything. And Hanna begins to suspect that Sang Jun knows who she is, but in fact Ami has figured it, by following Hanna’s dad who is crazy, and is in an old person’s home. She visits him trying to find Hanna, and hears the new Hanna say something the father had said, and tries to ruin her career.

Meanwhile Hanna starts to get San Jun to fall for her, but realizes that he really like the old Hanna, and he hates plastic surgery. She is about to have her first concert, and the two almost hook up. but she doesn’t want him to feel her silicon implants so she she stops, but in a drunken stupor writes the symbol of her tattoo on the window, which Hanna had written on her song notes, and he realizes it is her. Now he is angry at her for lying, but wants her to have her concert anyway, but she can’t do it, and breaks out crying, and admits that she has had so much plastic surgery, and is in fact the fat Hanna. Jenny’s career is over, but amazingly Hanna’s career takes off, and now though she has now given up on Sang Jun, in fact now he likes her, not only for who she is, but for who she is, and even better, who she has become.
