Watch on Gooddrama|Viki|Dramafever|soompi tv



A romantic comedy about the revenge, love, and success of beautiful woman with the personality of an ajumma. It will tell the story of a woman who is transformed after plastic surgery and diets, and the man, who made her that way.

Han Tae Hee is the heir of a large company. He is suffering from a broken heart syndrome due to a psychological shock. To get the woman he loves back, he completely changes an unattractive and overweight ajumma Sa Geum Ran to beautiful Sa Ra. In the process, Han Tae Hee falls in love with Sa Ra.

Pretty late but this drama needs a post, it's funny and the zany shenanigans are great despite the cliché elements. The otp is simply awesome. Like Tae Hee said, their chemistry would even make Brangelina cry.

k im only one like episode 10 but this drama is beyond flawless and i adore everything about it. it's such a fun, wacky romance but it has lots of interesting elements and it touches on important subjects that affect society. it's def one of the best dramas this year. despite being cliche as hell and pretty makjang, it's in a predictable lovable way. i need to catch up quick. im first comment so i don't get spoiled. im out

I stopped at episode 3. Is it getting better after?

[miyozari.livejournal.com]

It definitely get better (and crazier, is this even possible?), Sara realizes that her ex-husband is the culprit behind her death and a huge asshole, then the revenge plot gets rolling. There also a lot of great moments, funny but also heartfelt between her and Han Te Hee.
But since I'm currently at episode 15 and dramas tend to fell towards the end, I really hope they won't screw up the ending. There hasn't been any noblie idiocy yet but I'm afraid it might come.

Oh I was wondering if someone was gonna do this
I kinda like this drama it's funny
I wouldn't watch it if it wasn't for Xmas break but I'm having a good time

is this drama good?
is it funny?

[kjc48.livejournal.com]

It's good.
It's VERY funny. Very wacky, with a lot of random sexual jokes.

Plus the serious parts come off funny (to me) because they're very over the top.

I might start watching this then to replace modern farmer. I like light and ridiculous drama.

[kjc48.livejournal.com]

lol, fuck. I was gonna start MF today. Is it that bad? :(

[piqapique.livejournal.com]

lol no! it was ridiulous. Like the whole plot is just for a light-viewing. The only bad point is that honey lee is too pretty to be a farmer and she has zero chemistry with hongki. The other casts are very good tho.

edit: I think you got me wrong. By 'replace' I mean I finished mf last week and need new drama as replacement

[kjc48.livejournal.com]

OH, yeah I definitely misread your comment.
Thanks for the rec :)

[I started it and it is way more ridiculous than I thought, but it's perfect marathon material]

This drama is a weird combo of too much and nothing at all happening, but I LOVE IT.
At this point, I don't care who Sara ends up with I just her for the last 2 minutes of DRAMA! and random Sara (can't remember her name) wife #2 cat fights.

This show is like the ugly stepchild of a makjak and a really good romcom. All the right elements are there, but you wonder why it even exist in the first place. Like I swear the writer is high sometimes.

The catfights are awesome and everytime Sara owns it, I'm always like damn... shots fired. Unlike other female leads, she doesn't take shit from the catty female second lead.

OMG THIS IS BEST DESCRIPTION EVER. You summed the whole drama up in one sentence.

Right! I used to live for her "I'm a steal your husband like just like you did." lines. Sara had me irl lmao for at least 10 minutes after. Bitch has noooo filter, just straight truths.

I would understand if this was a cable drama, but it's crazy that this is airing on SBS. It kinda has the same feeling of ridiculousness and freshness like Kpop Star Survival , Nail Shop Paris, and The Greatest Wedding (dats dat good shit).

I havent watched this drama yet but I have been meaning to and now I finished my thesis I can catch up with all my pending drama list. Its a plus also that this drama is ending soon so I dont have to wait for it.

Despite the rumour of Han Yeseul's diva attitude off set, I actually like many of her characters. She always able to play flawed character but likeable and strong at the same time (and most importantly not annoying) and I'm telling you not many Korean actresses has the ability to do that. I know she gonna own this drama so I'm actually very excited to start watching it. :DDD

[hipployta.livejournal.com]

I'm so behind but I'll catch up

[jaeslurpy.livejournal.com]

so is this like the drama version of 200 pound beauty? because i loved that movie and if this drama is good i'll totally watch it

[ah0000.livejournal.com]

I haven't watched this because the premise is not really appealing to me but I recently found out that Han Ye Seul went to my high school in California, which is so odd to me

[opd-devil.livejournal.com]

Not to be mean, yes this drama started off great, but I don't know starting around Ep 14 or so I just kind of lost interest in the whole storyline. :(

I even felt annoyed after watching Ep 15 and 16. I will finish this cause I'm so close to the end already though.
