200 Pounds Beauty
Posted by EunWook

Movie : 200 Pounds Beauty / Mi-nyeo-neun Gwae-ro-wo /
Release Date : December 14, 2006
Country : South Korea
Director : Kim Yong-Hwa
Starring: Kim A-Jung, Ju Jin-Mo
Runtime : 120 Minutes
Editor Rating : 8.0
Plot Synopsis : Han-Na is a very big girl with a warm heart. She is also gifted with an unbelievable voice from God. Han-Na has always wanted to be a pop-singer, but due to her appearance, could only work as a faceless singer. She provides the vocals for a popular singer named Ami, a beautiful young lady that can’t carry a note to save her life.
Also, Han-Na is in love with Ami’s music producer, Sang-June, but it is a one-sided love. One day, Han-Na is invited to Sang-June’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 could wear such an outfit. She does eventually go to the birthday party in the red dress, but is mortified when petite Ami appears in the same red dress. During the course of the birthday party, Han-Na absorbs more emotional trauma and she simply disappears……..
One year later, after Han-Na’s extreme makeover (major plastic surgery), Han-Na takes on a new identity and becomes Jenny. Jenny has a near perfect body and face. Nobody recognizes her, even her best friend. Meanwhile, the producer Sang-Jung is searching for a replacement singer for Ami, but can’t find anyone close to the talents of Han-na. Han-na as Jenny, now comes back into the picture and auditions for the job. Sang-Jung is immediately floored by her. She has the absolute beauty and that stunning voice. Soon afterwards, her dream that Sung-June will fall in love with her, is about to come true. Unfortunately, Ami is now jealous of her and feels threatened by her sudden success. She researches into Jenny’s background and comes up with the truth about her true identity. Will this ruin Jenny’s career?

Movie Review : If I had to describe this movie in only a few words, I would say that 200 Pounds Beauty is just a fun movie to watch. The story is simple, a woman who is overweight and unattractive, yet has a warm heart, becomes an almost perfect beauty via extensive plastic surgery. Most of the more amusing scenes are about how people treat her differently. Yet with this simple story, 200 Pounds Beauty has attracted more than 5 million viewers in Korea and the movie is still doing well at the box office. The movie is even beating The Restless (Joong-Chun), which cost a lot more to make and has a far larger marketing budget.
I think there are a few different reasons why 200 Pounds Beauty can attract so many people. First thing is that the movie keeps its own identity as a comedy. If you are familiar with Korean comedies, you know it will get serious towards the end, but 200 Pounds Beauty doesn’t get too serious. The film cleverly touches people’s heart and mind, but doesn’t forget to make you laugh. It doesn’t make the mistakes like the majority of Korean comedies these days. The worst example of this would be the movie “My Boss, My Hero 2 (Doo Sa Boo Il Che),” which is a comedy for two thirds of the film and then painfully exaggerates the situation and acting for the rest of the film. I guess this is because filmmakers believe dramatic situations can maximize impressions for the viewers when they leave the theater.
Secondly, 200 Pounds Beauty shows in funny ways, what could happen to someone if they receive such an extreme makeover. Like the scene when Jenny and Sang-June are finally getting intimate with each other. When he tries to kiss her, she couldn’t have that moment out of fear for her new surgically altered nose. She is also worried about her enlarged breasts and what he would think of her if he knew they were implants. It’s a bit sad but I think people can understand and sympathize with her situation, which leads the audience into laughter. There are constant episodes like these that keeps the audience laughing.
Finally, the main actress Kim A-Jung, has appeared in just 2 TV dramas and one small movie role, prior to being cast in this film. I was really impressed with her performance. Interesting enough, before she was cast as Jenny, the filmmakers recommended many other famous actresses like Soo-Ae, Go So-Young, etc. They all turned down the role, so fortunately for Kim A-Jung, she was cast as Han-Na. After watching 200 Pounds Beauty, I couldn’t imagine the character of Han-Na without her. She was simply brilliant in the movie and the other actors also did their parts very well. I couldn’t stop laughing during the funny scenes with Sung-Dong Il. With Joo Jin-Mo (the music producer and love interest of Han-na/Jenny), I did wonder why he hasn’t gotten more attention as an actor.
I actually watched 200 Pounds Beauty twice. The first time, I laughed so much that I really couldn’t remember the details. By the second viewing, I did realize that the songs Han-na and Jenny sang in the movie were awesome. I hardly ever buy cd’s, but I am considering buying the soundtrack to this movie. 200 Pounds Woman is the kind of movie that will have you laughing out loud and also bopping your head along to the soundtrack. The movie is just a wonderful film that did make me wonder what would happen if I did such an extreme makeover like Han-Na…….

Does anyone know the information for the music that plays right near the end of the confrontation with that short stalker and while she’s burning the old photos of herself as the surgeon narrates? The music comes on again at the conclusion and plays to the end credits before switching to the song Maria. I really like the beat and arrangement of that music. Anyone know more about it?
Anyway, great movie. Funny and touching at the same time, 5 of my girl friends cried during the movie.
she’s so pretty, i don’t care if she’s had plastic surgery or not!
im looking for stand by me..send me pliss
i couldn’t agree with you more, i love this movie, can’t wait to buy the cd, and dvd, dis she really sing marian song, Kim Ah Jung , that is a preety strong voice, and she is really cute and inocent look, love the story
THe first kdrama i watched was winter sonata where i fell in love with joon sang , the 17 year old one.. he was so cute!!!!!!!!!!1 but 200 pounds of beauty is lighter as movie and very funny! i loved it =and downloaded the whole ost for free!:) :) :) viva internet.. maria is my favourite song.
hi could u send me beautiful girl song and byul. i just saw it, the best. my email is tongtony2005@sbcglobal.net
i watched the movie so many times. yes, it is only a simple, funny movie. but i really like it alot coz it gives people confidence within themselves.even though you are ugly and fat, you have something that nobody can take away from you. you are beautiful and thin, but you have nothing in you, its just non sense. another thing, when it comes to love, you would anything, even changing your whole body for someone to notice you! haha it is funny but has sense… nice songs too.. :-)

Listen to byul (star) in english on youtube. Someone sang it and it is really good http://youtube.com/watch?v=fYMMu1ck8fc
Hi, just wondering did Kim Ah Joong wear a suit and played the role as a fat woman or was it another actress. I am kind of thinking it is another actress. By the way, I also want to find stand by me sang in the movie. I can’t find it anywhere. Please help if you know.
Such a hype! O_o
Do you know where I can find the version of stand by me sang in the movie. I love the version very much. For now, I can only hear it on youtube. And also, do you know where can I find the manga to this movie. I want to see how the ending to the manga is like. Does anyone know where I can get the manga and if you have read the ending to the manga, does anyone know how is it like?
,eEy 200 pounds beauty is a greatest movie of all in philippines..
kim ah joong is a beautiful & joo jin mo is handsome too
do ur best….,
i love the song !!
if you have it send it to me pleazzzz
manoune_du_34@hotmail.com
i luv this film n d’song
fabolous!!!!!!!!!
if u have it
send it to me : junz_love_peace@yahoo.co.id
janel, stand by me wasn’t included on the 200 pounds beauty soundtrack- so highly unlikely you’ll get that one. if you want I can sing it karaoke style and email you my own version.
by the way, i dont think the movie sends the signal that plastic surgery is okay.
they already phrased it clearly in one of the scenes, plastic surgeons are hated, and she only wanted to change herself, hoping that she will be loved, which she isn’t.
so technically, it brings plastic surgery down.
how she won his love is through her innocence.
hey, i’m looking for the song she sang, stand by me.
anyone got the song, please send it to me (:
pinchysweet@hotmail.com
email or msn, THANKS.
I think Sang Jun said that he doesnt think Hanna is interested in him anymore but he also said that he is starting to love her more than before. However, Hanna says, he is not trying hard enough and she takes his water bottle and drinks it. I dont know if that means they will be together or not but I hope they will. I do agree that they are on equal footing but the tables are turn this time and I think Hanna is the one in control now
The thought never crossed my mind David, but I assumed they were back together but now on more equal footing. Hanna not being burdened by her secret and also having a successful career. Sang-Jun’s feelings were less clear at the end, but judging by his eyes & expression as he watched her sing that last song I would bet they would end up together again of they weren’t already.
Just wondering for those who have seen the ending, was it implied that they are going to be together? I was watching with my mom and she said yeah they are together but when I first watched it I thought they werent end up together. Let me know what are your opinions.
Hi….What name`s of the movie in portuguese..I`m brazilian and I`m not speak english very well…

The original song is from Deborah harry (BLONDIE) and here are the lyrics;
Maria
Lyrics and Music by Jimmy Destri.
She moves like she don’t care
Smooth as silk, cool as air
Ooh, it makes you wanna cry
She doesn’t know your name
And your heart beats like a subway train
Ooh, it makes you wanna die
Ooh, don’t ya wanna take her
Wanna make her all your own
Maria
You’ve gotta see her
Go insane and out of your mind
Regina
Ave Maria
A million and one
Candle lights
I’ve seen this thing before
In my best friend and the boy next door
Fool for love and
Fool of fire
Won’t come in from the rain
Sees oceans running down the drain
Blue as ice and desire
Don’t ya wanna make her
Ooh, don’t ya wanna take her home
Maria
You’ve gotta see her
Go insane and out of your mind
Regina
Ave Maria
A million and one
Candle lights
Ooh, don’t ya wanna break her
Ooh, don’t ya wanna take her home
She walks like she don’t care
You wanna take her everywhere
Ooh, it makes you wanna cry
She’s like a millionaire
Walking on imported air
Ooh, it makes you wanna die
(repeat chorus)

Blondie is actually from NYC but the rest is correct.
This movie is very good!!! And I very love the song “Byul” sing by Kim Ah-joong….. (^_^)
The song “Maria” is originally from a UK band called “Blondie.” So if you want the English lyrics, look up Blondie’s Maria.

guys this movie is so wonderfull i wacthed it 20 time and i keep repeating again and again!. i was so touch to the messages of the movie i feel is running to my vien the truth is im in the situition before like hanna but i already turn to a beautiful butterfly…he…he….i just wish it has a 2nd part..please
I’ve just watch this movie today and I can say that it’s super dooper awesome and great!!!It’s 200% inspiring and the song was really good as well as the singer’s voice,,She was very gorgeous and lovely…
it’s very popular, i might as well watch it
I just saw this at the NY Korean Film Festival 2007. The director was there so it made the viewing much more interesting to say the list. This is an excellent film and like the original review mentions it is really funny though not as funny as My Sassy Girl (MSG) but with less melodrama like MSG. For the most part the film is excellent however there are few questions I had:
1. Did she fall in love with her manager because of his handsomeness? If so then it begs to question whether he would have loved her as her former self? While love is not skin deep it does raise that issue. So a beauty for a beauty.
2. The ending was fitting however just 1 song? It must have been amazing for the crowd to just see one song and then feel satisfied in the concert. I would have felt cheated.
Good film and highly recommended.
dis is da best movie in 2007!!!!!!it touched my heart soo much…luv their song…thanks..

BUT the movie is definitely worth watching.

I finally got around to watching this movie and I must say that it was a fun movie to watch. The theme on the other hand was another matter. While reading through these comments I’m surprised nobody else found the “plastic surgery can lead to happiness” idea to be slightly disturbing.

Leslie : The singer for the title track “Maria” is actually the actress that played the role of Jenny/Hana, which is Kim A-Jung. She seems to be getting a lot of popularity for this role in Asia. I watched on the local news here about the premiere of 200 Pounds Beauty in Vietnam recently and the movie seems to have a lot of fans over there, even before the movie premiered.
erm,gud job 4 all 200 Pund Beauty’s casts n crews
wel dne guys,
Can you tell me the singer for the song”MARIA”??
hey can you send me the song that you pose it?i really like it…i would really appreciate if you were to send it to me…thanks a lot!!
wow!!thumbs up for this movie..i rent it and i gonna buy it..haha..any one can send me the songs in the movie? brandon_feeltheheat_sk (at) hotmail.com
the movie was better than i expected (i thought it was a full-on shallow movie but it wasn’t- it has great message behind it too, also~ great soundtrack too. the leading actress is a pretty good singer despite not being a singer herself.
great review! =D
Arrived here through the external link posted at Wikipedia. Congratulations for getting linked there! I must agree that you’ve written an excellent movie review - in-depth analysis and thought-provoking ideas that I don’t see in those copy-and-pasted online movie reviews. Thanks a lot for sharing the trailer - I think it’s pretty nice!
Anyway, thank you again for posting the link to the Ave Maria song in one of your comments. Thanks for being so helpful! I love the song anyway… her sound is simply angelic and sweet.
Haven’t seen 200 Pounds Beauty yet, but the only time I’ve heard of the words “hakuna matata” was from this famous Disney cartoon.

I was wondering about the symbol for Hakuna Matata. I’ve searched in every place I can think for info about the symbol. I have found nothing. Was it made up for the movie?
thanks so much for the link to the mp3. =D
[...] this particular Korean movie surprisingly high-profile. Courtesy of some kind bootlegger, I watched 200 Pound Beauty (미녀는 괴로워) directly from the internet. I felt that the movie was a typical “Extreme Makeover” kind [...]

where can i down load the Song ‘Maria’ in MP3 format? like it so much. anyone can help
may i know where can i download the movie instead???
thanks for the web site… i love it!!!!!!
omg thnks
i’m not a big fan of janet
have never even cared about her music
but i lovve that song
rhinorider7 : the vocal style and background is kind of an easy giveaway. the first song performed in the movie by ami was jacket jackson’s “miss you much” off of rhythm nation. :)
totally unrelated…but there was a loveholic song on the soundtrack …called ” 슈퍼스타 [Super Star]” from their first album Florist.
I was in Korea around 2002 and attended a film festival called Pifan. I didnt really know much about it at the time but decided attend and the only movie playing was a british film called “28 days later.” Anyways there was a band that came on stage after the movie and played a full concert. I never heard of them before but I did know one song they sang which was called “Loveholic” (I heard it in all the shops during that summer)..and interesting enough the name of the band was Loveholic as well.
I kind of fell head over heals over the song with its really simple melodies. The band went on to finish their set with an absolutely kickass cover of Abba’s “Dancing Queen” !!! After that I was hooked on them. More commercial than things I normally listen but still I think they are one of the best Kpop bands around. Hopefully more people will check them out. And getting back to 200 Pounds Beauty…they do a pretty kickass cover of Blondie’s “Maria” that was sung by Kim A-Jung (the main actress) in 200 Pounds Beauty.
they also contributed a song to absolutely great film…Hana and Alice!
Sorry for the long diatribe…but I just wanted to say it was Janet Jackson’s Miss You Much :D
ummmmmm… i heart this movie
i was wondering what that song was in the beginning of the movie was
the song that ammy first lip synced to
i like it soooo plz answer me
I think it sounds like an interesting movie. But I was wondering if they really do have “faceless singers” in Korea?
The movie is a must watch, front part of the show is great, and latter part i am in love with hanna, the innocent character in the show.
this is really a nice movie.i would like to suggest others to watch it.
the song maria is a nice song. i love it to listen.
as a whole its a no 1 movie in my view.

Best korean movie i ever watched…Quite touching @ the ending part…Kinda funny..Well done!!!
i watched e movie yesterday..its awesome..
all e songs sang by han-na was nice..anyone know where can i download e songs from?
Awesome movie. Thanks for the review!
This movie was great at tackling a very serious issue, yet lining it with all the quirkiness otherwise never thought by viewers (like me, anyway)! My favorite has to be the intimate scene because it is so plausible yet so funny!
Wonderfully done, bittersweet and honest.

Vid : Sometimes when a person drives a car they will hear a strange knocking sound. That’s a strong signal that the car should be taken in for repairs. After reading your message I get a similar feeling that there’s some strange knocking sound coming from you. Please go see a neurologist. Best regards,

hai luna6..can u send me the mp3.. stand by me.. n the song when she sang in the last concert as Hanna.. the mellow one..to my email? ace_vid (at) hotmail.com…
i would be very appreciate it..thx
Before anybody else writes down their email addy, I can’t send out the tracks or anything like that. It would be highly illegal so out of the question for me.
can u send me all the soundtracks 2?or u can also lyk the maria,put link then we can download
hi!! do u have the rest of the soundtrack? can u send me thru msn??? please reply me to my email.. thank you
Just watched 200 pounds beauty and yes it was a blast. Kind of embarrased to say but I even liked that hip-hop version of “Stand By Me” they did :) Strangely enough they left that track off of the sountrack.
I think this would comply with fair use in the U.S. - so for the people asking about an mp3 version of “Maria” sung by Kim A-Joong you can download it
here (right click / then “save as”).
If you like the song, buy the soundtrack or the dvd. Cheers..
could u tell me where i can download the song eva maria the korean version,mp3 version?if got please send the website to kurt_angle24 (at) hotmail.com
I don’t like and rarely watch Korean movies, their long soap tv operas and endless rumours and babbling.
Indeed i reluctantly watched this movie as tehere was no better alternative in the theater.
But about this movie now i have a different thought.
However this was advertised as a comedy as i was watching this movie i had been thinking about some of the human traits and social behaviours.
I saw some people wiping tear drops from their eyes, in the cinema.
This is a fine movie. Good luck for the crew and producers.
Soon i will watch the second time.
By the way, I am from Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia.
I love this movie! Kim Ah-Jung acted so great in this movie. She sings and acts so well. The movie starts out funny. It’s hilarious. But towards the end, it’s soooooo touching. I cried.
[...] very addicted to Korean Movies (K-Movies) although this is not my first time watching them..200 Pounds Beauty really made me crazy to K-Movies..i was so in love with the movie that i’ve downloaded its [...]
Oh yeah, I totally forgot, there’s a few parts in the episode that’s shown..it goes up to 4/15. It’s in youtube for anyone who would like to watch it. I don’t know who uploaded it, but there’s no subs. But still, I crack up from the images. Enjoy while it’s there. =)
OMG. I will be buying this movie soon. I’m just so excited to watch this movie. I’ve been watching the previews over and over again. Everytime I watch them, it cracks me up so hard. I can’t wait to watch it. I kind of wished they could’ve made it into a series. I think that would’ve been really fun to watch. I like long stories and movies, it’s just so interesting and it includes more details about things. But still, I’ll be getting the movie in just days, I’m just so excited to watch this movie. I’ve been hearing about it from my friend and I just got so caught up with this movie. lols. Can’t wait to see it though. =D
i saw it last nit. i like this movie so much, esp. that song. the singer waked me up with her so much powerful voice. there are lot of girls always trying to lost weight in taiwan, even they are really thin. so i think fitting is okay, health is more important.
goto veoh.com and search at for 200 pounds of beauty
available with subtitle. hurry up,before it been delete by the admin
:O I’d really like to see this movie.. but I don’t think it could happen here in Italy…
It seems a great one!!!! :)
It seems the Korean rock band Loveholic appears on the soundtrack for 200 pounds beauty and from watching the youtube video, I think they do a pretty good cover of Maria as well.
does anybody have the mp3 of this song (the korean one)?
It’s a blondie song, and the girl is not saying I’ve been Maria, it’s Ave Maria.
Aha…now that makes sense. I actually never heard the Blondie song before and the version in 200 Pounds Beauty has the verses sung in Korean. “Mariaaa…I’ve been Maria.”- You really could hear that song on virtually every streetcorner in the downtown area. thanks for the info panda!
The youtube comment that goes with this video says it’s a Blondie song. I could almost swear that there’s a country music version of it too. Kazaam!
Maybe I was high off of the Kimchi and dried squid when I watched this movie, but during the movie I couldn’t help noticing this whole man vs. nature theme going on in the movie.
Primarily, whenever the surgeons were shown, they were always in white lab coats and white background - almost a heavenly portrayal. So I was kind of wondering if this was symbolic of some kind of man vs nature kind of theme going on in the movie. I kind of laughed it off though, thinking this is just a comedy and probably not.
But towards the end of the film, when Jenny was about to do her big concert, the song that she sang was……
…Belinda Carlisle’s “Heavan is A Place On Earth.”
Appropriately enough she broke down in tears and couldn’t finish the song.
Also whenever I visit Korea, there always seem to be one song that is played everywhere. That song this past winter was definitely the theme song for 200 Pounds Beauty, where the girl repeats “Mariaaa…I’ve been Mariaaa”
Out of curiosity who is this Maria? And what are the verses about?
