Contrary to what one may gather from the title, Korea’s latest romantic comedy Operation Makeover is not about changing appearances, but rather changing fates. Life is always full of “what ifs”, and this film asks a simple question: what if you could go back in time to your first love? Knowing how things work out in the decade following, what would you do differently? First-time director Kim Chang Rae, who previously served as assistant director on the blockbuster Friend, spins a fun and interesting story in Operation Makeover (a.k.a. Project Makeover and Go Go Sister), topped with a hearty dose of 90s nostalgia. Actress Ko So Young (Apartment) and her younger counterpart Jo An (Holiday) present delightful portraits of the same woman at different ages. Backdropped by the music of popular 90s group DEUX, Operation Makeover revisits first love and reckless youth through a bumpy journey of romance and self-discovery.

Jung Joo (Ko So Young) is a disgruntled 30-year-old woman with no boyfriend and a go-nowhere job. Bitter with how her life has turned out, she traces all her misfortunes to her first love Ha Nee, a playboy who broke her heart and later becomes a famous singer. One day, she bumps into her high school friend Tae Hun, who used to be nerd but is now a successful businessman. Jung Joo knows that her life would be so much better if only she had fallen for the right guy in her teenage years. Unexpectedly, a chance to right wrongs comes up when a mysterious computer program transports Jung Joo back in time to 1994. She is determined to show her 18-year-old self (Jo An) the correct path in life. Free-spirited teenaged Jung Joo, however, is a lot more interested in the disingenuous Ha Nee than the doting Tae Hun (Yoo Gun, Hello God), and she will not be so easily swayed.
