A local hit film “200-Pound Beauty” has been made into a musical, starring singer-turned-actress Choi Sung-hee, better known as Bada, former member of all-girl group S.E.S. and rising actor Song Chang-ui.

Based on the popularity of the film that attracted 6.62 million viewers in 2006, the much-hyped romantic comedy musical will follow the same storyline. But the genre being different, the musical differently portrays the highlight of the story in which Kang Han-byeol the title role transforms from a more-than-200-pound woman into a slim and beautiful woman thanks to a plastic surgery.

The musical will feature songs that were used in the film such as “Maria” and “Byeol.”

The musical “200-Pound Beauty” will be on stage from Nov. 27 to Feb. 1 at the Chungmu Art Hall, central Seoul. Tickets cost from 40,000 won to 90,000 won. For more information, call (02) 3485-8721 or visit www.musicalbeautifulgirl.com.

sounds like an okay musical. For some reason, the description reminds me of that movie "shallow hal"
