A kiss of true love for those who don’t recognize themselves

I thought this movie was a romantic comedy, but I didn't expect it to be different at all. The protagonist is a cursed girl with a pig nose, which will always be like this unless she finds true love. I guess the movie will follow the old-fashioned plot, but it doesn't.

It can be said to have a profound meaning. At first, she was like a bird in a cage, protected by her parents, just looking forward to one day true love will come, the spell will be broken, and she will live a good life from now on. But expecting others to change your life, getting the help of a savior can never bring happiness to yourself, and you can never know what you want and what you are like. Everyone in the film basically represents a class of people: some people have birth defects, so they madly dig into other people’s scandals to satisfy their inferiority; some people get frustrated, so they hope to suddenly become rich through gambling; some People are rich brothers, but they are like staying in a cage, always reporting what they are doing; some people constantly cover up their possible flaws to deceive themselves and others, as if they are perfect; others look forward to it Love changes everything about yourself...Anyway, it all changed the moment the heroine opened the door. It turns out that there is no real love kiss to break the spell, and the person you are waiting for does not have the power to change your life, only you are.
