Another great movie by the Koreans. It now 2nd on my list after "My Sassy Girl". I would have to push "Too Beautiful To Lie" to no 3. keke. Story line is simple, how a fat lady with great vocal, when through a series of surgery to turn herself into a beauty in the name of love. the movie is endearingly sad ending. catch it in the cinema with some tissue paper. Great movie always accompanied by great OST + great actress.
Actress KIM Ah-Joong, whose fame is spreading like wildfire across south-east Asia, picked up the Best Actress award for her lead in the cutting-comedy "200 Pounds Beauty" at the recent the Grand Bell Awards.
Please meet our new friend, KIM Ah-Joong, lead actress of 200PB.
last but not least
Part of the movie "200 Pounds Beauty", where Jenny aka Hanna sang the song Byul (in korea means stars) for auditon. They are looking for backup-vocalist for Ammy (a lip singer) to replace Hanna that when missing for a year. Everyone stunned by her amazing voice that sounds exactly like the fat Hanna.
So.. go watch it lah k!

OLIVIA - A Girl Meets Bossa Nova •
Have you listen to her music before?
A short descs about her
Home grown talent from Singapore, Olivia Ong's third album, who is currently based in Tokyo, has her crooning, in bossa nova, Sade and Antonio Carlos Jobim's cover versions. Her clear voice and good sense of the groove has her jazzing in style. It is an improvement to the previous pop numbers in her sopohomore offering - Precious Stones. Make it Mutual and Fade Away sounds really better in bossa nova or perhaps it is just my preference. It is a commendable effort from Olivia Ong as she takes on Bossa Nova with girlish delight. Favourites in the album include a lovely girlish redition of Seiko Matsuda's Sweet Memories. Also good to listen are L-O-V-E and Wave.
01.So Nice
02.Kiss Of Life
03.Wave
04.L-O-V-E
05.How Insensitive
06.One Note Samba
07.Make It Mutual
08.Driving
09.Fade Away
10.I'll Move On
11.Kiss Me
12.Sweet Memories
So of my favourites in bold.
Boss Nova lovers, pls include Olivia on you playlist or CD shopping list. trust me, her makes clear & excellent vocal, her groove witht he music, everything penny worth. A little bit different from Lisa Ono, Olivia is a more "girly" version of bossa nova. Kudos to the 19th years old talent from SG. I will definitely be there is she is performing in KL :) It's good for easy listening & highly recommended by me.
p/s: thanks sis for introducing such a great artiste to me :)
