cinderella and yoga

Time for some asian horror flick. This time, let's go to Korea...

Cinderella (2006 film)

 an orphan child was illegally adopted after the original Hyeon-su suffered fatal burns and disfigurement  due to a car accident when she was still alive so her face could be used to treat the now disfigured Hyeon-su. The orphan loved the woman who adopted her (and even called her "mother") very much but, after the original Hyeon-su began to recover, the mother did an operation to have the orphaned girl's face cut off and attached to the real daughter. The real Hyeon-su, having no memory of the incident, was spoiled by her mother while the faceless orphaned girl was kept in the basement, saddened by her so called mother's treatment committed suicide and became a vengeful ghost which now begins to haunt  Hyeon-su. Parallelism: Cinderella was also maltreated by her step mother and was locked away in her room.

Yoga (Movie - 2009)

Synopsis

A confident and enthusiastic woman, Hyo-jung visits a mysterious yoga institute run by an ex-actress where her radically changed friend told her to go. At the intensive training course, a young yoga master named nani explains to Hyo-jung and four other girls that only one person who masters the course successfully could get the secret to ultimate and immortal beauty. there are five rules for them to follow during the one week course:

1. do not eat
2. no shower an hour after the class
3. do not look at the mirror
4. do not go out of the building
5. do not call anyone.

As the training went on, the girls were tempted to break the rules one by one as if hypnotized by unexplained forces. Hyo-jung  was the first to sense that there is something odd about the yoga until things got weirder and weirder--all the rest of them mysteriously disappeared. the ending was even weirder,  they all got what they wanted which was nothing but beauty.
