An animated South Korean horror drama
that supposedly is the first feature film that were based on a Web Toon,
and
it was quite fascinating and bizarre. A
film that besides it's horror elements also comments subjects as the
false ideals
of the Idol industry with fat shaming and plastic surgery hysteria among
young people.
Yae-ji is an somewhat
obese young woman who works as a make-up artist at a TV Studio making
commercials. Her nasty
boss is sexy Lee Mi-ri and she's an Idol and a Star, famous i suppose
for being just sexy and beautiful and nothing else
(maybe she can croak a song and using autotune, just as the Idols in
Japan, a useless bunch famous for their beauty.
Idols in Japan and South Korea are something else than Idol here in
the west where people actually have to sing good).
Lee Mi-ri treats her staff badly and calls Yae ji a pig.
During a TV shoot a pic is taken of Yae ji eating and
it goes viral as the most disgusting picture on the Internet. Poor Yae
is living with her sweet parents and she locks herself into her room
refusing to leave. Then, she gets a mystery notification
of having won the beauty enhancement cure "Beauty Water" but
a treatment will also cost her 200 000 USD, an enormous
sum for her poor parents to raise. She gets the money and she gets the
treatment .... and, she gets beatiful for sure. Her
new persona is named Kim Sul-hye and she's slim with big bouncing boobs
and with new size zero clothes to wear. She
gets contacted by an Agency and her plan is to outdo Lee Mi-ri and take
her place as the hottest Star. But ....
