Kim So-yeon’s big transformation in Prosecutor Princess
by javabeans
If this photo didn’t come with a caption, I wouldn’t be able to recognize the star — namely, Kim So-yeon of SBS’s Prosecutor Princess. (Even knowing who it is, it’s still difficult to see her in the images.)
Kim’s drama character Ma Hye-ri is currently slender and fashionable, but she wasn’t always so — at one point she weighed 90 kg (nearly 200 lbs). This was back when she was still a student, and also explains why her mother makes it a habit to weigh her even now.
The scenes featuring the formerly overweight Hye-ri were filmed on April 11 at the Dongkuk University campus and required special makeup and padding, made of Gore-Tex fabric and urethane foam, as well as silicone to fill out the face. These scenes will air in this week’s episodes, which broadcast on the 14th and 15th.

Costume and makeup surely creat wonder! I fell in love with this drama just this past weekend. I have been watching CS and PT but then I got caught up in the PP maddness. I much prefer PP over PT anyday. KSY plays this role so well that it makes it hard not to like her even if she plays a "dumb ditzy blond." Book smart but not so much anything else. lols.
The cast is put together very well and all the leads have great chemistry. I hope your cappers will follow through with this drama. I LOVE IT.
Prosecutor Princess FIGHTING! the underdogs of Weds!

Oh God! Hilarious! As if this drama couldn't be any funnier. No wonder her character's trying so hard to be superficial and wears embarrassingly garish clothes and feasts on nothing but cherry tomatoes, making herself the butt of all jokes.
The hands! Hahaha!

Prosecutor Princess is actually my favourite out of all the new Wed-Thur dramas. I like the other 2 a lot too. But PP I think is the most fun.

it's rather disgusting the number of fat-to-skinny transformations seen in media today, from Monica in "Friends" to Hanna in "200 Pounds Beauty". I don't know the storyline behind PP, but these fat suits seem to be more of an ego booster to the actresses than some less trite usage.

this is quite an unexpected twist but it adds layers to ksy's character. what i like about this drama is that they uncover layers off of each character adding depth and content to the storyline. i'm excited to see how this drama progresses!

OMG, talk about 200 Pound Beauty 2.0. I thought this was Hae-Ri's transformation for a special case, but that was her in Uni? (If only we all could make big transformations into a goddess like Kim So Yeon after we lose a few pounds......)
As for the hands (?), I spent a good minute or two staring at them. I couldn't tell whether it was suppose to be her skin or if she was wearing gloves. But then I realized it was suppose to be her "skin", and it looks REALLY wrong.

I wasn't sure I was going to like this show, and the first 2 episodes did nothing to change my mind, but it really started to grow on me with episodes 3 & 4. And now this! It's definitely not the typical kdrama rom-com with the typical plucky, dowdy, yet cute, heroine, who meets the typical cold/troubled/bad boy hero, changes his life and they fall in love scenario. I gotta love it if just for that.
Now I actually have reason to watch it other than to see PSH's smile. If we put him in a smile-off with CJM from Cinderella's sister, who would win?

Ugh, I really REALLY hope this isn't played up for laughs. I thought they showed wonderful and very surprising sensitivity when Hye-ri had that binge-eating episode when she got so stressed out. They didn't make it goofy or laughable, and the audience could tell it was painful for her, made all the more so when she overhears her coworkers talking about her. For them to turn it into a joke would just be absolutely horrible. The absolutely ridiculous-looking hands do not give me much hope.

It's not played up for laughs. It serves as another perspective looking at MHR's personality, you know, superficial, oblivious, and self-centered.

@30 Peoples hands do get fat.....but NOT that fat!!! LOL
I guess they used the same make up artist that did 200 pound beauty, because she also looked like she was wearing gloves too.
I wished they had contacted, the people who did Martin in Big Mamma, or even the one who did the make up for Tim Allen in Santa Claus, because they looked more real to life. Other than that, I could not recognized her at all.
It appears that Ma Hye Ri and Park Shi-hoo the two leads were ugly ducklings when they were younger. It looks like they had a painful childhood. I can't wait to see more of their past played out. Anyway, I have grown to like this drama, Episode 3 was the turning point for me. You've heard of being book smart, and sensibly dumb, right? Well Ma Hye Ri takes it all to a new level. I just LOVE her!

(O_o) What the hell was wrong with the make-up artist? I don't remember I looked this terribly fat when I was (once upon a time) over 80kg :-| (not to mention I'm much much shorter than KSY - just about 5' 3") I assure you this is the look of an at-least-over-100-kg princess (@_@)

I love this show from the start just because the dialogue was catchy and the two men were soooo drool eye-candy delicious. Now it is my 2nd favorite drama for this season.
I like how the pace of this drama is just right unlike PT. I love all of the characters, even the mean father (I liking him more each time he tries punishing KSY). Plus the dialogue between the three main characters is alway sparking which is lacking in OML.
Unfortunately, it still can't beat Cinderella's Sister, but other than that-This drama rocks.
Thanks for the heads up-I can't wait to see this scene-I am now wondering if mysterious lawyer boy knows about this part of her past??? I so want her with him and not prosecutor.
Aja til Wednesday!

...no wonder, all Hye Ri eats nowadays are just cherry tomatoes!!! she used to be 200 pounds!!! Another 'twist" to this wonderfully funny & awesome drama!!!
...unlike most 'lawyer-dramas"..PP has me waiting,& anticipating each & every episode!!! It has filled the WUAS void + the 2 leading men are HOT!!!
