200 Pound Beauty - The Top Korean Comedy Ever - Coming To DVD.

(Posted In Asia Comedy DVD News )

200 Pound Beauty (Custom).jpgKorea, frankly, has a majorly messed up mindset when it comes to ideas of physical beauty and self worth. Hence a film revolving around the use of plastic surgery as the means to happiness as the top earning Korean comedy of all time. Frankly I find it troubling, but the Koreans lapped it up at a pace that landed it firmly in the Top 10 Korean box office of all time and it's coming to DVD. It's 200 Pound Beauty and it releases April 20th, with English subtitles included.

Pre-order the DVD here.

Oh boy did this movie ever suck. I really don't understand what constitutes an enjoyable flick for the people down here.

This movie does really suck !!! We can see how important is the plastic surgery in Korea. The director doesn't even believe in the moral he gives...

it really did suck, the whole time i kept thinking, just how many korean women actually have a weight problem like the main character... isn't this just another flick making fun of those who don't live up to the model standard??

I liked it, sure it was all a bit silly. But it wasn't shouting, hey young women, get plastic surgery.
People, it's a comedy, that's all.
