So, I saw an asian movie when I was younger, and I’d really like to rewatch it. The problem is, i don’t remember what it was called, just what the plot line was.
This girl’s boyfriend had to leave her or something because he was a pianist. The movie starts out with her watching one of his concerts and him saying that he dedicates the next song to her, at which point, she bursts into tears. After the concert, he bumps into her in the stairs. However, since she was so depressed when he left her, she had become extremely obese so he doesn’t recognize her anymore. Anyway, She meets a taxi driver (also overweight) and there’s this scene with them eating sushi where she tries to restrain from eating, even calculating calories on a pink calculator. However she ends up giving in. I think she sees in a magazine, that her former boyfriend is planning on getting married so this spurs her to start losing weight. With the help of the taxi driver, together they beginning attempting to exercise, eating healthy, diet pills, etc. Eventually she’s managed to return to her former self and on the rooftop, she practices with the taximan what she’d say to her exboyfriend and they end up kissing. When she goes to see her exboyfriend, she realizes that she’s fallen for the taximan and rejects her former boyfriend. He, in turn, becomes depressed and ends up eating his pain away, becoming obese. In the end, she ends up finding the taximan, and they live happily ever after and it shows her exboyfriend, who is now fat, exercising with his fiance.
Some details may be a little off, but that’s the main gist of it. If you know what movie this is please let me know! I’ve been dying to resee it for years. I think this movies was from the 90s. I may be wrong. But not later than 2002. Thanks!
