- Release date: December 14, 2006
- It is based on the Japanese manga Kanna’s Big Success! by Yumiko Suzuki about an overweight ghost singer who undergoes intensive plastic surgery to become a pop sensation.
- It was the third best-selling domestic film of 2006.

K-MOVIE FEELS
- The story was fun, charming, funny at times, with still enough seriousness and learning points included.
- Self-love and self-acceptance is the point of this movie. One will never be happy with their looks if they’re not happy with themselves.
- Kim Ah-Joong did an excellent job portraying her character.
- The music is good. (MARIAAAA AVE MARIA….)
- I recommend this movie if you want something moving, with both cute and funny moments.
My Overall rating – 8.0/10 (It has a well-balanced dose of drama and comedy. Overall, a fun movie to watch.)
