“…the fat dress pissed me off.”
Koreaboo
While it’s not uncommon for actors to undergo physical transformations for K-Dramas, some looks are more popular than others.
Some actors gain or lose weight for their roles, but other times a weight change is faked for shows that use prosthetic makeup or fat clothing. UIfor example, he wore a fat suit for his role Dream high.
Shin Min Ah he also wore a fat suit Oh my Venus.
Now, K-Dramas have spotted another fat suit MotelCalifornia, a new series that began airing on January 10 MBC coming-of-age love story, with protagonist Lee Se Young, And in Woo, Choi Min Soo, Kim Tae HyeongAND Choi Hee Jintells the story of a woman who finds her first love in her hometown.
In episode 1, And in Woowho plays the good-hearted Cheon Yeon Soo, wears a fat suit and thick-rimmed glasses.
At first glance, Na In Woo is unrecognizable, and her changed appearance takes protagonist Lee Se Young by surprise.
Some viewers were not fans of the fat suit and found it distracting.
The first 2 episodes of Motel California were really good, but the thing that makes me laugh is always seeing the fake fat suit in every flashback pic.twitter.com/a2eD9Id6pi

Although the fat suit appears in flashbacks, not in all scenes, the anatomical irregularities – such as the appearance of the cheeks and shoulders – dampened the viewing experience for some people.
