Girl in 200 Pounds Beauty is pretty :D Looks a bit like Jun Hi Jyun (?). Also. How do you make the font colour white (like you've done with your spoilery part for Sunshine) ^^

She's Kim Ah-joong and yeah, she is pretty.

The white text thing is

[font color=white]text here[/font] except < >'s instead of []'s

Thanks for the tips! :)

No problem!

Yeah, I pretty much had the same opinion about 200 lb beauty. I guess I expected it to be more Bridget Jones than not. Actually I felt like the movie just advocated getting plastic surgery. X D Oh well!

It's weird because romantic comedies have unwritten rules about stuff like this (inner beauty vs outer beauty - it's not love if it's skin-deep) and technically it could've worked if he'd been more genuine in the beginning even though she was VERY large. Bad script, I guess.

In the end I just found the solution lame, though understandable..

partypaprika April 23 2007, 18:32:46 UTC

THEY TOTALLY DO! Sorry, it's just that there's a set pattern about love being more than just skin deep, which this completely ignored. LOL. oh well. By the way, your icon has just put me in the mood for an ISWAK rewatch. Ok, well it's actually really long, so maybe just some good fanvids... *sigh of happiness*

Hee, yeah, I love ISWAK fanvids. I could probably never rewatch the whole thing but I've rewatched the last episodes a ton and done some select Arron-from-Fahrenheit-spotting (he plays the rich boyfriend of XQ's friend).

And yeah, sometimes I think the good Korean romcoms like My Sassy Girl or My Little Bride were just a fluke and Koreans can't really work with this genre. Come to think of it, neither can Hollywood most of the time.. Romantic comedies - the dead genre.

Siddharth is so adorable. I haven't seen him in any telugu films, but I loved him (and Madhavan too!) in RDB. :)

fivil April 24 2007, 06:04:55 UTC

Yeah, he was good in RDB but I only really loved him in Nuvvostanante Nenoddantana. Telugu films are so unavailable - I wouldn't have seen NN if I didn't have this awesome friend with a huuuuge Indian DVD library who's cool with me borrowing films from her. If you can get your hands on NN, though, or Bommarillu, I fully rec them.
