What happens

The Relation of Face, Mind and Love (Korean: 내눈에 콩깍지) is a 2009 South Korean-Japanese film starring Kang Ji-hwan and Lee Ji-ah. The romantic comedy film ponders the classic question of how much looks matter when it comes to love, when a good-looking architect finds the perfect woman, except for the fact that she is not very pretty. It was part of the "Telecinema7" project, seven feature-length mini-dramas which were collaborations between South Korean TV directors and Japanese TV screenwriters; the seven Korea-Japan joint productions both received a limited theater release and were broadcast on television. The Relation of Face, Mind and Love was first released in Korea in CGV theaters on November 5, 2009, and later aired on SBS (South Korea) on April 4, 2010, and TV Asahi (Japan) in 2010. Alternate titles are My Love, Ugly Duckling and Oh My Venus. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
