From the beginning, I did enjoy the caloric intake of breakfast for a typical model. However, when I heard she was eating 600 calories per day, I was very surprised. Normally, a model would intake 1000-1500 calories per day depending on her metabolism and she would use her daily meals intake differently each time in order for her body not to reach stabilization or a plateau.
The movie was OKAY. It had great potential but it blew it. It didn't astound me nor it wasn't consistent all the way through. At first, it seemed normal at the start and later on, I see this unnecessary comic/graphic approach with cutesy sayings and actions being blurted out on the screen. It just seemed to jump all over the place and I couldn't really feel like the movie was decent.
This is where it lost its vibe.
As a former model, I did not behave in front of photographers and assistants in the studio like she did. Nowadays, you have to wear what the photographer/wardrobe stylist wants you to wear and put your emotions aside. It's not your photoshoot, it's a collaborate thing. You can't put a hissy fit on what you want to wear to a professional shoot. It want your own shoot, then do one as a creative for yourself. You choose to be a model in this specific area then that's your choice.
For me, this movie was not a pleasurable experience since I have background experience in the industry.
Highly not recommend this movie to others. For those above reasons.

Then she starts eating. Okay. I was excited because her brother was helping. I definitely thought she was going to gain a lot of weight. But she looks the same, just smaller clothes.
It was funny at times, especially in the beginning. But this movie wasn't anything special.

i just wanted to start my review by saying the location of the movie if anyone wants to watch it, but the truth is i wont recommend it to any one. this movie was so slow, no twist in the story line,creepy music that makes you laugh and the plot was the exact same Synopsis nothing more nothing less, i dont know what to add more really but if you want to watch it for lee hyun jin or any other reason be aware that you might end up being hungry like i did!

I watched this off dramacrazy.net with English subtitles, so if you're having trouble finding it, that's the place to go.
A good watch or a time-waster? Overall, I would say it's a time-waster. It had a good moral to the story but it wasn't presented as strongly as I hoped from reading the plot summary so this was one disappointment.
I expected... so much more of a lesson in this movie. More emotional, more thought-provoking just like '200 Pounds Beauty', answering the question of: why do we change for love? And that size doesn't matter, we should love our inner selves not the outer etc.
Kang Do Kyeong's (Lee Hyun Jin - who also starred in 'Heartstrings') acting in this movie was good; he played his role well. However, I didn't find Lee So Jung (Do Ah Ra) convincing enough to *believe* and understand the reason why she changed her size for love unlike Kim A Joong as Han-Na in '200 Pounds Beauty'.
Despite that, there were some humour in some places and I grew to warm up to Do Ah Ra because of her improved personality and better relationship with her brother but still felt this was a let down. So overall, I would give it 5/10.
