Love on Diet begins by showing a classical music show in Japan where a man is playing piano as
part of his solo concert. Among the hundreds of audiences in the show, there was a fat girl
named Mini who came from Hong Kong. She looked awkward and behaved strangely when she heard the
pianist's performance and then decided to leave the performance hall. When the show was over,
Mini accidentally met the pianist and got a gift from him. Apparently, the man recognized her,
who often attended his music shows and concerts, so he wanted to appreciate her with
a music cassette and a poster with his original sign. After Mini returned to her rental house,
she was drunk and was seen kissing the poster given to her by the pianist idol and crying.
Then, looking frustrated, she suddenly put up a hanging rope and intended to end her own life.
But fortunately, her attempt to do so failed because the chair she was using to climb couldn't
support her weight, and it broke immediately. The next day when Mini was eating at the restaurant,
the owner of the rental house introduced her to several men who came to the restaurant.
But not a single man is attracted to her because her appearance is less attractive, and her body is
too fat. Finally, the restaurant owner's mother brought Mini together with a young man who has
a fat body and likes to eat like her. The fat man seemed to sympathize and decided to take her away,
but with one condition, the mother who owned the rental house had to buy two pairs of knives that
he brought. It turns out that the mother who owns the rental house wants to kick Mini away
by asking a foreign man to help and bring her. After that, the fat man took Mini away in his
car and left the rental house. While talking in the car, she realizes that he is from Hong Kong,
and the reason the fat man helps her is because they are both from the same place.
After the fat man stopped his car on the street and gave Mini money for food, he then asked her
to go another place. Turns out, he just wanted to help her so she won't be reported to the police by
the restaurant owner s mother, and he didn't want to deal with Mini any further. However,
Mini chose to stay in the fat man's car even though he had given her lots of money and food.
Until at night, when the fat man returned to his rental house, Mini continued to follow him
into his room and immediately slept in the room. When she had slept, he decided to leave her alone
and immediately took all his belongings into the car. However, his car keys were apparently
taken by Mini. She stored it in her mouth so that he was forced to break into his car.
After successfully starting his car, he looked happy and immediately left the house.
Unfortunately, the fat man almost hit a police officer who was on patrol and had to return to the
rental house to ask Mini to return his money and pay the police fine. After returning to his room,
the fat man was very annoyed with Mini, who had cost him a lot of money. He was mad at her, who
couldn't take care of herself and instead used all her tuition money to buy all the tickets for the
concert of Furukawa, the famous pianist who had previously met her. While crying, Mini explained
that Furukawa was actually her boyfriend, and they had a romantic relationship when she was thin.
Hearing that, the fat man didn't believe her at all and immediately laughed at her
because a person as famous as Furukawa couldn't possibly be close to a girl like her.
Mini took her photo a few years ago when she was with Furukawa in the Tokyo tower.
Mini and Furukawa used to be a very happy couple. He even wrote a special song for her.
However, after Furukawa received a scholarship to enter a music academy abroad, they separated and
began to lose contact with each other. Since then, Mini felt lonely after being abandoned by him
and started to relieve her stress by eating continuously. As a result, her eating portion
is getting out of control, causing her to become obese. Several years later, when Furukawa became
a famous musician, Mini did not dare to face him directly and could only look at him from afar.
She didn't want him to realize that the one who used to be his girlfriend had now become an ugly
and fat girl. The following day when the man woke up from his sleep, he looked happy after seeing
there was a lot of food on his dining table. And when he looked out the window, he saw Mini washing
his car and said that she had deliberately prepared all the food for him. At noon,
the man looked confused because he couldn't find the five knives he was supposed to sell today.
It turned out that the person who had taken the knives was Mini, and she had sold them to someone
else. Hearing this, he immediately grumbled and scolded her because he thought she would sell the
knives at a very low price. But unexpectedly, Mini had sold the five knives at a very high price,
and she immediately gave the money to him. From that day on, she will work by helping him to sell
his knives. After that, Mini and the man went to a meat restaurant to have lunch together.
But instead of eating a lot of meat and enjoying various foods at the restaurant,
she eats very little because she wants to start her diet. Seeing this, he immediately
teased her with a variety of delicious ramen and beef dishes which made her become tempted
and decided to postpone her diet. She ordered a lot of food and enjoyed her food happily.
He was happy to see Mini being able to enjoy her food and decided to treat her to a bottle of Sake.
That afternoon, Mini and the man strolled on a bridge while enjoying their Sake.
On the bridge, she screams that she wants to forget her past and stop loving Furukawa.
The next day, Mini and the man bought snacks from the convenience store.
She saw a news item on a poster stating that Furukawa would marry his fianc Kudo in October.
Seeing the news, she became frustrated and immediately drove the car at a very high speed.
The fat man tried to calm Mini by suggesting she listen to a radio podcast. In the broadcast, they
heard Furukawa being interviewed about his romance and first love. Furukawa replied that his first
love was a girl who had been with him and had a relationship with him several years ago. Kudo,
who heard his answer felt very jealous and annoyed with him. After that, he announced through the
radio broadcast by asking Mini to meet at Tokyo Tower according to the promise they made together
several years ago. Hearing this, the fat man asked Mini to visit Tokyo Tower and meet Furukawa.
However, she refused because she wasn't confident with her current appearance and didn't want
to meet Furokawa in that condition. She becomes increasingly frustrated and intends to end her own
life by throwing herself into the ocean in a fat man's car. Fortunately, before she actually threw
themselves into the sea, the fat man immediately shouted and said he would help her diet.
In the following days, the fat man and Mini went to a gym to do an exercise program so that she
could lose weight. But it's not easy because her body is too fat and they don't have much time.
Moreover, Mini doesn't seem to have any serious intention of losing weight, which irritates him.
The fat man decided to leave Mini on the road and went straight to his car. But after a while,
he felt sorry for her and decided to go back to where he left her and pick her up. After
arriving at the place, he saw Mini trying hard to lose weight by going up and down the stairs.
After that, the fat man took Mini to a Chinese restaurant where his old friends worked and asked
them for advice on how to lose weight fast. His friends helped by giving them a potion of unknown
composition. Unfortunately, the method they used to lose Mini's weight made her go to the hospital
and undergo surgery. At night when the fat man was looking at Mini's photo when she was still thin,
he was suddenly surprised by her arrival, who had just escaped from the hospital. Mini looks sad
and worried because the doctor at the hospital forbids her to go on a diet in the near future
while she has to lose weight immediately. The fat man decides to help her by becoming a sports
coach for her. In the following days, Mini started trying hard to lose weight by exercising with fat
man every morning. They even locked their fridge, so she didn't eat all the snacks from the fridge.
One day when Mini counted her weight, she seemed happy because her weight had decreased even though
the decrease was still very small. The Fat man who know this feel happy because their hard work has
finally paid off. One day after the fat man came home from work, he saw Mini acting strangely and
desperately trying to open the cuffs of their refrigerator. It seems that she is not strong
enough to stop eating like before and wants to eat a lot of snacks from the fridge. He tried to
calm her, who was starting to get out of control and messing around in several merchant carts on
the side of the road. The fat man scolds Mini and threatens that he will kick her out if she behaves
like that. While crying, she says that this diet is too difficult for her and she can't continue
it anymore. Seeing this, The fat man tried to approach her and said he would support her by
going on a diet with her. From that day on, Mini and the fat man started doing sports training and
going on a diet together. He even helped her to do a simulation when she would meet Furukawa later.
At night when Mini and the fat man sleep together in their room, they accidentally cuddle each
other. He even kissed Mini's forehead, surprised her, and she woke up from sleep. Mini was crying
because she felt that she had cheated and she felt very sorry for Furukawa.
Seeing this, the fat man tried to calm her and gave the idea of creating a barrier between them.
But when their eyes met, they got carried away again and almost kissed. He seems to
have fallen in love with her even though the fat man says he promised not to have feelings for her.
That night, he decided to send her to a fitness center that held a diet camp program
so she could go on a diet faster. The next day, the fat man sent Mini to a gym and paid for her
diet plans with all his savings. After that, he decided to find another job to pay for his needs.
Apart from working as a knife salesman, he works as a punching bag man for street boxing shows.
Meanwhile, Mini has now focused on undergoing a diet program to lose weight.
She occasionally contacted the fat man during the process to inquire about his situation.
A few weeks later, Mini finally managed to lose her weight and turned into a slim and beautiful
girl. After that, she went to the fat man's house to meet him and tell him the good news.
After seeing Mini, who has now turned slim and beautiful, the fat man feels happy with her
success. He then gave her a new dress as a reward for her hard work in losing weight. The following
night, the fat man took Mini to the Tokyo tower so that she could meet Furukawa as they had planned
all along. Before parting, she asked him his real name, but he replied that people used to call him
Fatty. When Mini arrived at the Tokyo tower, she was surprised by the number of reporters taking
pictures of her. After that, Furukawa appeared in a fashionable suit and hugged her tightly.
On the following night, Mini was invited to do an interview with the media as Furukawa's girlfriend.
While in the monitor room, she accidentally saw a video of the fat man turning into a punching bag,
which immediately made her cry. She then apologizes to Furukawa and decides to leave him
because she has fallen in love with another man, the fat man. Time has passed, and Mini has become
a successful novelist. And Furukawa has become obese due to stress after being abandoned by her.
Since Mini parted ways with the fat man, she kept trying to find
him until she finally saw the yellow car belonging to him and followed the car to
the Tokyo tower. It turned out that the fat man had turned into a handsome man.
They intertwined their pinkies and promised they would never leave each other.
And the film closes with a scene where the two of them kiss each other. END The moral that can
be learned from this movie is true love is when we put someone's interests above our own.
