Diner owner Takuro (Tsukaji Muga) is the star in the kitchen with his fabulous cooking skills, but his below-average appearances make him a dud with the ladies. While renting a tux for his friend’s wedding, Takuro ends up with a “handsome suit” that magically transforms him into a tall and dashing hunk (Tanihara Shosuke)! Suddenly, the world’s at Takuro’s feet as he becomes the hottest male model on the scene and the apple of every woman’s eyes. But it’s not so easy juggling two lives, especially when his suit keeps threatening to malfunction and reveal his true face.

Watched the movie on 9 April late night @ GV Vivo with Sylvia.

A fairy tale-like story, but sad to admit that in the real world, appearance does play a great role in the name of judgement. Although the movie brings out the message not to judge a person by his appearance, it is very tough not to practice that in real life. We are always more attracted to better looking guys, prettier girls, beautiful scenery. Extra time is needed for those less attractive ones to get our attention.

Despite this fact, we are hopeful that one day we are able to hide behind a shield and become somebody else in disguise. However, no one should feel inferior of himself as no matter how he looks, as long as his conscious is clear and he is sincere to everyone who is sincere towards him. Everyone has got dream and they are entitled to dream, regardless how they look.

This comedy is good for relaxing your hard day of work. Always bear in mind that the essential success factor is never the looks. It is the heart...
