This is one of my favourite movies, I've watched it many times with a lot of different people. I think that this is a really good movie, although you can't deny that it lacks depth.

Story-It's great because it's about a real problem in Korea, where in order to get married or become an actress a woman has to go under "the knife". Most korean Hallyu stars have some kind of plastic surgery, altohugh not as extreme as Hanna's. The thing that I liked but at the same time didn't like about this movie was the love story. It really isn't developed, and the male lead is shown as a very shallow person.

Acting-I thought it was really good, specially Kim Ah Joong's because she protrays prefectly what a person goes through after an important change.

Music-Although it's supposed to be a movie about music, it didn't really stand out.

Rewatch Value-I've watched at least 10 times; it just gets better ;)

Overall-Solid nine. It isn't the best movie but it's really funny and gets you to think for a while, it isn't your typical romcom.
