Just sit down and enjoy the brilliant comedy this film has to offer. If you want a more serious South Korean take on the issue, I highly recommend you see Kim Ki-duk's Time.

And I agree. I recommend people to not take the plastic surgery question in this movie too seriously because it's handled BAD. My biggest problem out of many, many, many problems was the ending. Basically, I don't buy all those hollywood endings where you can just say sorry and everything becomes rainbow and smiles for ever after~. What a load of crap, as if the public forgive a lie like that so easily. But this plastic surgery thing was a good vehicle for light hearted laughs and joy. So for that, it was an 'ok' romantic comedy, pretty good for a mainstream film to come out of Korea. And if you liked the theme song 'ave maria' sung by Kim Ah Jung, check out the original 'ave maria' version sung by 'Loveholic', which used to be a band I rreally enjoy before the lead singer left :( Sharp with your analysis, as always.
