Birth of a Beauty

I see negative reviews, but I seriously believe those people who gave negative feedback didn't even understand the story or watched it till the end.

Yes plastic surgery is bad, yes its not good to look down on people who are fat. But don't assume this drama is basically promoting the idea that its good. It isn't, and you have to watch till the end to see the full picture, full story.

By judging the drama from the beginning without watching the story is no difference from people who judge someone by their looks. This drama has a story and its very interesting, everything about it tell's a story.

Wow, that was a tremendously long and cumbersome drama to sit through. It tormented me to watch it from beginning to end, and I can't believe I stuck with it, but I invested so much already, that I felt I needed to finish it. The plot is quite different, actually. It had so much potential to be something bigger with all the scheming and twists they were introducing. The biggest flaw for me was the pacing and sequencing of events. For instance, the female lead's life was already in danger, yet they still had time to be romantic in between these tense scenes. Too many lovey-dovey scenes that are misplaced or wrongly timed. I appreciated the lead actor-very handsome and funny. I had no major problems with the lead actress, either. I just couldn't find myself to root for their love story. I wasn't feeling their chemistry. If the series were shorter I think my rating would have been higher, but there were too many flashbacks and unnecessary scenes. It would have benefitted from some heavy editing.

I watched this series because Joo Sang Wook was the male lead and I enjoyed his performance in Single Cunning Lady. The story was ok but I was getting rather impatient to finish the series as I felt there were too many unnecessary scenes. I liked the happy ending nevertheless.

The series has a very predictable story, but the makers have kept it fast paced. Joo Sang-wook in the lead role is superb and has done an excellent job. With his good looks and excellent acting, all the girls will surely fall in love with him! Do watch it if you are a die hard rom-com fan! The story begins with a fat woman being on cheated on by her husband, and being unhappy. She goes on to have plastic surgery, with the help of doctor Hae Tan hee(Jo Sang-wook), and plots to seek revenge. There is a new twist to the story every 5 episodes, which is guaranteed to keep you glued. All the actors have done a good job.The actors playing Chae Yeon and Lee Kang Joon have given good performances, and you will end up hating their characters.

The premise is fine if much used. Don't be put off by reviews talking about plastic surgery or fat shaming they simply cannot understand life. The problem with this drama (it is not a comedy). Is they padded it far too long at least five episodes should have been cut. Instead of the sharp writing at the beginning it became a drawn out badly written bore with all the hallmarks of dumb American sitcoms. Shows like this could kill what we have come to love about Korean dramas. Good characters destroyed by bad direction filled with Tell rather than Show. I will be honest it was a battle watching the last five episodes as they simply made the characters dumber and completely unrelatable. It is time producers learn Korean dramas are sought after because the don't follow American sitcoms. Cheap people chasing quick money will destroy the industry.
