What Not to Wear - Kdrama Style

[dangermousie]

Our two examples of horror today are brought to you courtesy of upcoming kdrama.

First off, we have Son Ye Jin in the upcoming Personal Taste. Personal taste of any sort is clearly absent in the below:

He looks like he's been held in some dungeon and starved and tortured for 6 years straight.

I keep seeing comments talking about how sexy he looks and I wonder if these people are insane or are anorexia afficionados. I normally find SIG drop dead gorgeous but I might not even be able to deal with watching AMCG because I literally freak and feel uncomfortable when I look at his gaunt face - his cheeks are sunken in like a famine victim's. I can forgive the makers the tacky clothes and the bizarre hair but I can't forgive them for telling him to starve himself to death. The hell?

LOL ikr. I happen to be a giant slob but I still brush my hair and take showers.

Exactly. Slob might mean wearing comfy clothes or not cleaning the house or whatever. But among its many meanings it doesn't mean 'not wearing age-appropriate clothes.'

Ugh I have a feeling it'll end up being BOF 2.0 but much worse because these characters are supposed to be adults.

I am getting a BOF Mark 2 feeling as well - the more I see the more it is the feeling I get. I was, of course, thus amused to see dramabeans (yes, I still read her, it's like an addiction I cannot break) proclaim these stills adorable.

He looks awful. I mean, worse than Kame ever looked because at least those Johnnys are really slight to begin with.

I so hope he doesn't keep this look. *shudder* If I were his wife, I'd drag him to a buffet as soon as the drama shooting was over.

I can't wait to see her fangirl over this and letting the unrealistic stupid scenes/plot points slide and coming up with some big wanky explanation/defence for them.

It will be quite entertaining. I am sure it will be a much better drama than IRIS, Chuno et al :P

Even though I knew I shouldn't have, I went and read the comments to IRIS2 casting thread and it was full of people saying how IRIS' plot sucked. Which I may have paid more attention to if these weren't the people who thought YAB and BOG were the height of subtlety and good writing and character development.

The man looks scary and I hope he'll go back to looking hot once this drama is over.

He should do a period drama. I've never seen anyone anorexic in that one.

Crazy people at dramabeans were what moved me from being meh on YAB to loathing. Thanks, guys!

Heh that's kind of ironic. You'd expect most people to look gaunt in period dramas

They usually ARE about the upper-classes after all :)

[dangermousie]

LOL, true. Slavehunters in Chuno look pretty fed.

I want to know which drama is going against Personal Taste - ok checked and it's Prosecutor Princess and Cinderella Unni. Let's see which of these she is going to hate on next. My money is on PP - it stars people from IRIS and Chuno :P
