Turn Around 美人邦/败女大翻身 (2014)

A romance comedy movie that stars Leon Jay Williams and Angel Liu. A girl can having nothing but as long as she tries hard, she can succeeded in life and love.

 Women need to strive to get what they want. The road to the goal is hard but with persistent, she will achieve it. Whether it be career, love or beauty.

 Meet Yu Zhong Qiu. She is devoted to her boyfriend, Huang Yue. She and her boyfriend came to the city when she was 18 years old. She worked 4 different jobs to pay for her boyfriend's collage tuition. Her world  revolves around Huang Yue.

The female lead looks like she has a lot of plastic surgery done. Nobody's chin can be that pointy.

 She gets kicked out by her landlord.

She enters a hair salon to ask if they were hiring.











While Zhong Qiu was sitting down waiting for the job enquires, a customer came in asking for this hairdresser.

The hairdresser comes in with his butt swaying. YES, I mean HIS butt swaying! I personally never seen a guy sway his butt, only see them swag. The hairdresser's name is Peter.

 Zhong Qiu was texting her boyfriend and asking when he will be back from his business trip. The customer named, Liu Qing Qing said that her boyfriend must be out having an affair.

 Qing Qing was right! Zhong Qiu looked outside the hair salon to see Huang Yue with his arms around a lady.

She goes to confront him and he says he is doing it for her. He ask her to wait for 2 years and then they will get married. Obviously she wouldn't agree so they break it off.

 Qing Qing feels sorry for Zhong Qiu and so she helps her find a paradise. That's what Qing Qing calls it but it's just a run down place for Zhong Qiu to live in.

 After looking at the room, Zhong Qiu and Qing Qing go to drink. Zhong Qiu drown her sorrow with alcohol.

Qing Qing says that she will find a job for Zhong Qiu at Empery. Empery is where Qing Qing works and is a beauty salon that offers special breast message. I never heard of a message that is specific for great  O.o

 Next day she going for the interview at Empery. She accidentally bumps into a motorcycle dude. The motorcycle dude is Leon Jay.

 She goes into the office for the interview and it's Li Jia Jun. This is not Empery, this girl got the wrong floor. How embarrassing.

 This time Zhong Qiu has the right floor because she sees Qing Qing.

Zhong Qiu didn't see the line up of interviewees and she bumped into Daisy. From head to toe, Daisy wears all designer brands. During the bump Daisy's purse strap broke, not off to a good start for Zhong Qiu.

 Daisy has the looks and education for the job, while Zhong Qiu looks unfashionable and no knowledge.

 Daisy and Zhong Qiu both gets hired. In the picture they are having a group training session on messaging.

Daisy shows number 1 results during training while Zhong Qiu is last of the group.

 She works hard to do the breast message and finally she is not last anymore.

 Hurry!! She looks happy with all the effort she put in.

 It's been 2 month since she has been hired. Zhong Qiu still has a picture of her ex-boyfriend on her desk.

*sign* give up women

I guess this is where her friends come in and help her. Daisy and Zhong Qiu are friends but they bicker.

 Qing Qing and Daisy set up a blind date for Zhong Qiu. First candidate thinks he is some sort of spy or something, totally fail him.

 The second candidate looks like a character out of a Shanghai movie.
Failed him.

 Last one dressed up all fancy with gold necklace and teeth. He is too materialistic so failed.

 Zhong Qiu comes running to a shop to do extra work. Turns out the shop is owned by the ex-boyfriend's girl. Zhong Qiu gets thrown out by her ex-boyfriend and didn't even get to work.

 Zhong Qiu ends up screaming her heart out at the beach. I never tired that, but does it help release stress?

Her two best friends/sister Qing Qing and Daisy give her emotional support.

I need friends like that, tho I don't have a complicated love life. In fact I have no love life at all. Forever die a single virgin T.T

 Another sad news for Zhong Qiu is that she is fired from work.

 Zhong Qiu's father comes to visit her. She takes him to a fancy restaurant and says that money is not an issue. Girl, don't be lying, you just got fired and have no money saved up.

She tells her father she will book a hotel room for him to stay. She checks her saving but she doesn't have enough.

 Zhong Qiu can't find Qing Qing but she finds Daisy.

Zhong Qiu ask Daisy for money and at that moment Daisy gets a call and goes into the washroom. Zhong Qiu eavesdrop on Daisy's conversation about how she hasn't paid off her credit card bills yet.

Daisy comes out and Zhong Qiu tells her that another friend is willing to lend her money.

Zhong Qiu leaves and the manager walks out of the washroom. She heard everything! Hope she hires Zhong Qiu back. Have pity for her.

 Zhong Qiu comes back home and sees a letter her father left for her. The letter said that if you are having a hard time then come back home to the village. Zhong Qiu cries over this.

 Her father also left some money. He probably sense she wasn't doing very well.

 Zhong Qiu comes into a little gathering in the company building and ask her manager to hire her back.

Her manager ask why should she. Zhong Qiu reflect about her past misery and said she didn't want to live.

 She jumped into the pool. The two ladies knew she would drown because she couldn't swim.

 Jia Jun was there at the gathering too and ended up saying her.

OMO OMO OMO OMO! He gives CPR to her.

 Qing Qing and Daisy try to help Zhong Qiu regain confidence again by giving her a makeover.

 Their make up skills are really terrible. She looks like the clown that pops up in a horror movie.

 Peter, the hair salon guy comes in to help the ladies out.

I must say, Peter has mad skills. He transformed her into a beauty.

It doesn't show but I assume after the pool incident, Zhong Qiu gets hired again.

With this transformation, she tries to gain confidence as well.

 One day a rich customer comes into the message shop. She causes a ruckus for the service people and Zhong Qiu says she will serve her.
Zhong Qiu ends up giving her a lecture and says she is not happy.

The rich customer lady is named Song Xiaoci. She is unhappy at home. Her husband puts work in first place and her son plays video game instead of talking to her.

She needs some lady friends.

 Xiaoci goes to the message shop and ask to work there. She thinks her time could be spent more efficiently.

 The company has a scene to witness. Xiaoci doesn't do everything herself, she makes her helper do it.

Xiaoci ends up fighting with Qing Qing and Daisy at lunch time. Zhong Qiu ends the fight.

Somehow after that fight, Xiaoci ends up being their friends.

Girls day out! The number 1 thing to do is shopping!

:) :) :)

 The girls have a discussion about Jiajun. They say he always goes to this bar.

Zhong Qiu ends up going to that bar and wait for him. He comes in with a girl and Zhong Qiu's hope is shattered.

After Zhong Qiu left the bar, she bumps into her ex-boyfirend's girl. She has a new boyfriend.












The management team ask the girls to manage different shop in other areas.

Daisy goes to a different store and the other 3 stick together.

Zhong Qiu gets started with her training. They look like their in a beauty pageant or something.

She teaches them to build physical strength too, military style.

 Jiajun sees this and smiles. Looks like someone has an interest in Zhong Qiu.

 After a few months the girls get called back to head office. Their mission at different stores are over and Zhong Qiu's team manage to increase their stores profit.

 At Daisy's house, Daisy shows some jealousy towards Zhong Qiu. Daisy's team that she lead, didn't show that good of a result compared to Zhong Qiu.

Her jealousy ended easily when Zhong Qiu gets a call from her ex.

 Her ex-boyfriend ask her to borrow money. She tells him to return it in 2 years.  Her ex-boyfirend looks so pathetic.

While Zhong Qiu's ex-boyfriend walks away. 3 girls ambush him and punch and kick him.

Zhong Qiu and Jiajun meets up at that bar again. Jiajun reaches for her hand but she pulls it away. So awkward for the guy! She just gets up and leaves him.

 It's time to pick the general manager. It's by majority vote where the people have to stand behind the person they support. The two candidate are Zhong Qiu and Daisy.

 Daisy gets offered a position from another company. They offer more better pay and gives her a house and car.

Wish I can find a job like that, then my life would be all set.

 Daisy tells her friends about the opportunity too and ask them to join her. Zhong Qiu refuses saying it will be betraying Empery.

Zhong Qiu is in charge of star idol event for Empery.

 5 more days left until star idol event. She has a lot of work that is being done.

While Zhong Qiu was doing work, Jiajun dropped by to ask her out.

They have a date on Jiajun's yacht and apparently he cooks really well.

On the yacht, Zhong Qiu finds out that he doesn't have a girlfriend and the girl he brough with him to the bar is his cousin.

 It's time for Zhong Qiu to start inviting the stars to come to her event. She meets them face-to-face to give them their invitation but most of them reject.

 Dejected, she sits on a rooftop drinking.

 Daisy comes out of nowhere and says you can't do it without me.  They both drink.

 Their other two friends show up too and all 4 girls are united again.

 With the help of friends, Zhong Qiu is able to get the stars to come to the event.

The event is underway. I want a ballon animal!

The event was successful and now it's time to take down all the decorations.

 Qing Qing comes in with great news. She announced that she and Peter will be getting married.

 I guess it's a joint wedding because 6 couples are getting married. The 6 couples work in the company as well, so I assume the company sets this up every year.

 Jiajun and Zhong Qiu goes running along the beach.

 The End
