Excuse me, good sir. Those pink macarons, are they kdrama flavor? Yes? Lovely! I'll take the whole box!

Woo Do-Hwan’s unusual angles have always made me think of Akhenaten, Egypt’s heretic pharaoh and father of King Tut. I can’t not see the resemblance. As Akhenaten got older he got more freaky looking (royal inbreeding has it’s price), but there’s no denying the resemblance. Yeah, I used to be hella obsessed with researching Ancient Egypt.

Damn, but Woo do-Hwan can act. He just amazes me constantly. Hope he’s surviving his military service okay. Poor bastard got assigned to an area that is really cold. Hopefully filming all those historical dramas during the cold-ass months and getting up at 5am for early shoots will make it easier for him. 

The look on Yoo Ji-Tae’s face in this Mad Dog scene is exactly what I’d look like if I was waiting for the barista to make my latte and I looked over and saw Woo Do-Hwan standing right next to me. My internal monologue: Derp de derp derp coffee yum yum.....whaaa...WOO DO HWAAAAhhh...WHUT??? 

I would then stare at him just like the owl is doing, standing creepily still, with no understanding of what was kdrama dream magic or reality. This would be followed by an intense internal discussion where the itty bitty sane part of me says, NO! We are not reaching out to touch his pretty face because not only is that rude, inappropriate, and detrimental to his elaborate skincare regimen, but you know very well that mere mortals do NOT touch the gods! Now put your hand down this instant!!!

Woo Do-Hwan sees all of this out of the corner of his eye, but shows nothing because he’s a goddamn pro. He silently curses the pitfalls of celebrity, wonders how many restraining orders they’ve filed now, and wishes the next fan would just be some chill oddball who wants to ask about something unexpectedly interesting, like traditional Korean archery or something.*

Lee Joon-Gi has those gorgeous smoky vamp eyes, just like Rudolph Valentino did back in the silver screen days of the 1920s. A friend of mine calls Valentino the OG Oppa because in the hella early days of the US silent film industry, he was the first film star to truly build a huge devoted fan base with his bad boy roles and sexy looks. Can’t speak to his acting skills, cuz that choppy old school silent film shit all looks ridiculously comical to me. 

I love ALL the pretty, pretty birbs.

Ain’t gonna lie, I think Lee Joon-Gi is about 12 different shades of beautiful, (many of them angular). His jaw line alone is exquisite geometry. And just look at the curve of that upper lip, for feck’s sake! Though if he couldn’t act, it wouldn’t matter how fine he is, cuz pretty alone isn’t enough for me. But he knocks it out of the park with his acting skills, and with an unusual subtlety that is rare.

Sometimes Fashion = Flowers in my weird-ass brain. 

And some kdramas absolutely overflow with seriously high fashion. In the realm of women’s fashion, Seo Ye-Ji’s wardrobe in It’s Okay to Not Be Okay was truly stellar and constantly surprising me. Big points to that stylist! (Close second was IU in Hotel Del Luna, but more on that to come.) Just these two kdramas alone gave me unlimited options to play with. Finding the exquisite blooms that matched up well was soothing for my tired brain. But once I started making these I couldn’t stop, so I hope you like them. There’s lots more to come. 

Shin Won-Ho = Goblin Stuffie. So much pouty, round-headed, buckwheat goodness!

Shin Won-Ho holds a special place in my heart ever since I watched Legend of the Blue Sea. His character had lots of scenes but almost no lines. Yet he still managed to steal the scene from Lee Min-Ho every damn time. Didn’t even need to talk because his cranky pants facial expressions were so insanely good. Love me some big-eyed angsty boys, lol.
