I read a novel a few years ago. At that time, I liked the setting of the brain hole in the novel - the heroine will change her face when it rains. Later, I learned that the setting of the novel seems to be borrowed from the movie "Inner Beauty", and then I also knew about the movie, and I finally watched it today? (It was only after many years that today did I know that the male protagonist will be transformed in the movie? )
Movies I watch for leisure purposes are more of a fantasy type, and I like all kinds of brain holes that can bring a sense of surprise.
The most important thing in the whole story is the brain hole that the protagonist will become a different person every day when he wakes up, and all the joys and sorrows that happen to the protagonist after that are triggered around this brain hole. It's like putting the core of a fairy tale in the real adult world. But it's still a fairy tale, a fairy tale similar to, "The Frog Prince", or also similar to, "Beauty and the Beast." An unusual and lonely male protagonist who met a female protagonist who tolerated everything and sacrificed for love.
However, adult fairy tales seem to be more "fragile" than children's fairy tales. In children's fairy tales, the little princess can kiss the frog, and Belle will fall in love with the beast. In fairy tales for adults, I still prefer to see pictures of kissing Park Seo-joon and being proposed by Lee Dong-wook.
(PS: The inner beauty mentioned in the title refers to the heroine, dog head.jpg)
