So, totally random movie reference in Prosecutor Princess episode 6. When photos of the overweight Ma Hye Ri surfaced, the vicious crows who don’t like Ma Hye Ri gossip among themselves saying she must have had plastic surgery to look the way she does now. They then reference 200 Pounds Beauty and how the main character had full-body plastic surgery. Oddly enough, Kim So Yeon in her fat suit did resemble the lead character of Hana from 200 Pounds Beauty.
