Title: Road Home Genre: Romance/Family
Type: Korean Movie
Summary: Yoo Min Soo (Shim Hyung Tak) is the eldest son of a hospital’s CEO. His wife, Jang Mi Ryung (Jo Yeo Jung), bore a child out of wedlock but raises it with maternal love.
Comments: There is a lot more to this drama, but it's still filming and I don't wish to spoil things for possible viewers. I came into the series late, at first I was skeptical after just finishing you are my destiny, but about 1/4 through, I became intrigued and excited to see what would happen with all the drama that kept coming. Some of this was refreshing. So far I've come to rather like it. Thanks to the Digital switch, I've gotten more dramas on my television. A total plus for me.

Title: 200 Pound Beauty Genre: Humor/Romance
Type: Korean Movie
Summary: Hanna is the famous Korean pop singer. She suffers from having extremely poor self-esteem, as she has been ignored because of her appearance. At last, she makes the decision of a lifetime to have full-body plastic surgery.
Comments: First off, I cried. No, I kid you not. The set up was perfect for me. Perhaps it had to do with personal experiences, but it struck a chord. The fact that my cousin, who isn't a (sometimes, hopeless) romantic like myself, actually recommend this to me. I put it off until recently. The characters are wonderful, especially Hanna. It's rather realistic especially her development throughout the movie. If you're looking for a love story, you may not really find it, but this is worth watching regardless even if you are a overly romantic person. If I was a producer, I would've made a Westernize version of this movie by now. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
