Keeping To A,

'make me look better', theme,

 nowhere in the world is going under the knife more mainstream than in South Korea, so it makes sense that the Asian country’s own plastic surgery reality show is bigger than any Western shows can ever hope to get,

 Let Me In is a hit reality TV show about transforming poor and socially excluded women through plastic surgery in order to give them better lives. But we’re not talking about a simple nose job, some lip fillers and lots of makeup here, most of the candidates chosen to go under the knife come out looking unrecognizable, with some displaying different bone structure and completely changed general features, like the shape of their eyes and mouth, Let Me In has been running for a decade now, and it continues to be a massive television success, although it has also attracted its share of criticism for glorifying plastic surgery,

 photographs ID Hospital South Korea, it is apparently a fact that South Korea is ranked no. 1 in the world for the most plastic surgery procedures per capita. Going under the knife is such a big deal that the capital, Seoul, has an “Improvement Sector”, where you can find hundreds of plastic surgery clinics, 

South Koreans are renowned for their fixation with good looks, even at young ages, with operations like blepharoplasty (double eyelid surgery) and rhinoplasty (nose job) being popular high-school graduation presents. So despite its controversial nature, Let Me In’s success was practically guaranteed from the start,

but regardless of the controversy, Let Me In has retained its popularity and prime-time slot on South Korean TV, as the shocking transformations of chosen participants continue to fascinate viewers. The massive success has helped the show transcend borders, and a Thai version of Let Me In has been airing for over three years now, I hope all concerned are happy with the results, especially if regardless of what others may think, it improves the recipients lives, I just hope the procedures do not have any long term problems as the participants age.
