He Didn't Recognize Me After I Became Skinny

About this episode

A woman's journey of transformation leads to a painful realization about her past and how she is perceived by others.

After losing 30 kilograms and undergoing several cosmetic surgeries, a woman matches with a man on a dating app who once ghosted her years prior. But as he showers her with flowers and compliments her "put together" look and "safe" personality, she grapples with a painful realization: she had this same personality before, but he never bothered to notice.   Credits: Studio - 1UpMedia Producer - Guang Jin Editor - Alex Audio Experience - Ethan Additional Engineering - VanAnh Script - RC / Shania Voice - Freya   If you’ve ever wondered what these stories might look like, we’ve brought them to life on our YouTube channel,  LoveStory Sketchpad . If you want to get in touch or send in your stories or feedback, you can write to the team at yeo.g@1upmediapodcast.com.
