When the Korean entertainment industry saw a promising future of “movicals,” or musicals based on film scripts, several years back, musical production company Shownote bet on the award-winning film, “200-Pound Beauty” (2006).

The company thought that the film-based musical would also appeal to stage audiences with its orderly content and good music.

With three weeks to go until its opening, Shownote is hoping the 200-Pound Beauty musical will draw as large an audience as the film did. The romantic comedy attracted 6.62 million viewers nationwide.

Though the characters’ names are different, the musical’s story line remains the same as the film.

Han-byul (played by Choi Sung-hee and Yoon Gong-joo) is an overweight woman - 275 pounds and 5.5 feet tall - who wishes to be loved.
