I've paid to see two movies featuring actors in fat suits and both times I felt one step closer to hell. In the 2006 Korean comedy
200 Pound Beauty, an actress dawns a fat suit to play Hanna, an overweight sex phone operator who is also a voice-over artist. Hanna's life and love prospects improve when she loses 100 pounds.
A stage version of the movie (whose literal title is "Being Beautiful is Agonizing") will be performed at the Chungmu Art Hall in Central Seoul from November 27 to February 1.
