I’m going to talk about the short Korean horror drama “Human Form” today. spoilers ahead! A five-year-old Korean girl called Chung In-Hyung is first presented to us in the opening scene. In her sketchbook, she is drawing while sitting on the floor of her bedroom. Girls with vivid eyes and exaggerated facial features are In-favorite Hyung’s subjects to draw. For a youngster, she frequently makes artistic and sophisticated things. Her instructors and family find it to be one of her many gifts. Before inquiring about her activities, In-mother Hyung’s comes into the room. Even though she has witnessed In-Hyung create lovely drawings several times, the youngster never ceases to astound her mother.
She is more than usual impressed by this specific drawing. She frames it and hangs it on the wall of her bedroom to further exalt it. A number of additional drawings by In-Hyung from the past are displayed next to the image. Although each is distinct, they all share a similar concept. In-Hyung beams at her success as she turns to face the wall. Curiously, we see that the mother never presents her face to us during the incident. The scenario then shifts to a later time period after that. In-Hyung has developed into a teenage woman who is fixated with her appearance. She is waiting for her best buddy outside the school one morning.
She examines her reflection in a mirror while she waits, picking at the flaws in her appearance. In-Hyung used to do the same to her drawings throughout her youth, but as she got older, she began to use her face like a canvas. She is too hard on herself, so the change isn’t very healthy for her. Her companion runs to her and apologises for being late as she groans in silence about her face. They walk together to the cosmetic surgeon while holding hands. Throughout time, In-fixation Hyung’s with having a flawless face grew astronomically. She wants to get plastic surgery, now that she is mature enough to do so in order to alter every aspect of her face to resemble the models in advertisements.
In the lounge, the pals wait politely for their appointment. Being one of the most significant days of their life, they are anxious. In-Hyung hasn’t informed her parents about the appointment, we learn as they converse. Plastic surgery has become extremely prevalent in the contemporary world, so she hopes they won’t complain. Yet it seems like her companion is worried about the scheme. She abruptly requests to view In-sketchbook. Hyung’s Afterwards it becomes clear that she never ceased drawing weird pictures of ladies. She won’t let her pal see the sketches though since they are incredibly personal to her.

The girl continually demands despite not caring about her privacy. In-Hyung continues to object, so the woman grabs her purse and yanks the sketchbook out with force. Thankfully for In-Hyung, a nurse calls her name before her buddy can see the pages. She inhales deeply before entering the doctor’s office. Also, she carries the sketchbook along for visual references. She eagerly presents them to the doctor while anticipating her response. The doctor’s laughter at her sketches, nevertheless, breaks her heart. Almost incomprehensible to the lady is In-desire Hyung’s to seem as hideous as the images.
In-Hyung is told that her dream is overly idealistic but she still holds out hope that the procedure would be achievable. They can’t reframe her face the way she wants since it is so different from the sketches in terms of how it is constructed. In-Hyung is adamantly told to abandon her goals, but she doesn’t want to go back home empty-handed. She challenges the physician and claims that the image is essentially a mirror image of the physician’s own face. The doctor doesn’t like the idea of a young woman disrespecting him. Even if they could do the procedure, a girl like her would never be able to afford it, she tells In-Hyung, putting her in her place.
In-Hyung is not among the wealthy, and their clinic is only open to them. We haven’t seen the doctor’s face up to this point. The camera suddenly turns to her, revealing her horrifyingly altered looks. Her jawline is excessively sharp and pointed, her eyes appear lively, and her nose is oddly formed. Her skin looks like that of a porcelain doll. All of this combined with the sparse eyebrows gives her the appearance of a haunted doll. To get to where she is, she most probably underwent several surgeries. It almost seems unbelievable that In-Hyung has been conversing with her regularly up until this point.
The biggest shocker, though, is when she says she will pay whatever it takes to appear like the doctor. She insists on knowing the exact cost, and the doctor gives in. In-Hyung is forced to turn around and silently go back home by the numbers. Even though her buddy is curious about how the appointment went, she doesn’t even speak to her. The next scene shows In-Hyung at home. She is talking while eating supper with her mother, sister, and aunt. Due to the incident of the day, In-Hyung remains quiet, but the other two discuss a guy who was just bitten by a dog. It turns out that the dog had plastic surgery done to make it seem more attractive.
While In-older Hyung’s sister claims animal plastic surgery is a growing trend, the mother finds it unusual. In-Hyung uses this chance to let them know that she wishes to have surgery as well. Then we get our first glimpse of her mother and sister’s faces. Both the doctor and the other person have the same same appearance as In-Hyung. The haunting doll appearance is then shown to be the new benchmark for beauty. The identical face can be found on every model, actor, and online celebrity. Even everyday individuals now resemble one another due to the global trend. In order to be conventionally handsome, many overdo their surgical procedures, and there is no individuality in their face characteristics.
Her sister inquires as to her motivation for undergoing plastic surgery while ignoring the apparent differences between her face and In- Hyung’s. They assert that she is already attractive but In-Hyung thinks they are being hypocritical. She asks them to gaze in the mirror as she casts an incredulous glare their way. No matter what, she wants to get her face painted before the yearbook photo. She claims that it is only fair for her to receive plastic surgery since her older sister had it while she was in high school. She is shocked to learn that her mother and sister are opposed to the notion. They believe In-Hyung isn’t prepared for a major surgery. Even if she is, she must cover the cost herself. The father eventually joins them for dinner after some time has passed.
His expression demonstrates that guys are also following the trend. Except for the beard, his looks are similar to those of his wife and daughter. The father finds it weird that the family is still eating while remaining silent. In-Hyung storms out to her room before finishing her supper when he asks them what is wrong. In-Hyung is seen heading to see her pal in the next scenario. Her heart sinks as she gets a glimpse of her friend’s face, despite her best efforts to lighten her attitude. She has undergone plastic surgery as well to appear like the others. As the girl inquires about her opinion of the new look, In-Hyung is simply too shocked to respond. Being the sole weird person makes her feel worse than she did previously.
Without speaking to her buddy, In-Hyung leaves for home. Even when it begins to rain as she is returning, she doesn’t stop to wait for it to stop. In-Hyung is only able to focus on her appearance and how much she needs the operation. Her desire comes true at that very moment, and she is drawn to a sign on the wall. It promotes free face surgery provided by surgeons looking to test their skills on people. The operation would be performed by a non-professional who may completely ruin the face. In-Hyung is nonetheless ready to take a chance.
She registers right away for the free cosmetic surgery programme. She visits the doctor’s office first thing the next morning. She learns little about the operation from the dubious man. Yet In-Hyung is confident in his ability to perform because he shares the same facial features as everyone else. In-Hyung is required to sign a permission statement prior to the procedure, which specifies that the surgeons will not be held responsible for any mistakes made because In-Hyung is aware of the dangers. She is lying in a hospital bed in the next scene, getting ready for the procedure. She sees bandages covering her post-surgery face in her fantasies.
I feel like everything went off without a hitch. Behind her, her mother is removing the bandage for the first time. She is delighted to see that her face has just the appearance she desired. When she approaches and analyses their looks, the mother immediately begins to fear. The doctor simultaneously asks In-Hyung if she can hear him. She is also questioned about her ability to open her eyes. He anxiously admits that he has messed up when he receives no response. In-face Hyung’s is covered in bloody bandages in a video clip.
Mistakes have been made during the operation. In-family Hyung’s is shown eating supper at the table in the last scene. In-Hyung joins them a little later after returning home. She appears at first and the family entirely ignores her. They stop eating abruptly and both turn to her at the same time after a few minutes, maybe. We are never given a chance to witness the surgical effects as the film concludes with them still fixated on her.
