PLOT (Asianwiki)
Han-Na (Kim A-Joong) is a very large
girl with a warm heart. She also possesses an unbelievable voice.
Han-Na wants to become a pop-singer, but due to her extra-large
appearance, can only work as a faceless singer. She provides the
vocals for a popular singer named Amy (Ji Seo-Yun), a beautiful young
lady that can’t carry a note to save her life.
Han-Na is also in love with Amiys music
producer, Sang-Joon (Joo Jin-Mo), but it's a one-sided love. One day,
Han-Na is invited to Sang-Joon’s birthday party and receives a red
dress from him to wear to his party. Han-Na is excited, yet scared.
The dress is revealing and quite extravagant. With her very large
figure, she is not sure if she can wear such an outfit. Han-Na does
eventually go to the birthday party in the red dress, but is
mortified when petite Amy appears in the same red dress. During the
course of the birthday party, Han-Na absorbs more emotional trauma
and she simply disappears for one year.
Han-Na then returns as the beautiful
Jenny ...
REVIEW
I am biased with fat to fab themed
movies. 200 Pound Beauty is for everyone not
just for those who struggle with weight but with everyone who has
insecurities. It is a story of redemption and victory. We all have to
overcome our giants, everyone will enjoy the movie. It has a great
soundtrack as well.
