K-Drama - Recalling AESTHETIC female leads

HIYA!😊

This is my first ever Allkpop article so please forgive me if it sucks XD

As you can see from the title, this will be about how visually aesthetic the female leads from Korean dramas are (2 GIF's for each drama)! I apologize if your favorite isn't here (because there are SO MANY), so do comment any opinions or suggestions and I'll make a part 2 someday!

B a e S u z y 배수지

Suzy has been in the industry for so many years, and has definitely acted in some great dramas! Here are a few favorites of mine:

# while you were sleeping

This casual look from the baseball cap and the glasses both add to a trendy and fresh vibe which matches her character! Check this drama out if you have time --- highly recommend!

I'm sure viewers remembered this scene! The way the snow falls as Suzy casts that gaze on Lee Jong Suk, and the little lighting dots at the back (lmao i don't know what they are called) make the whole scene feel so magical!

# uncontrollably fond

This was a flashback scene in the drama where Kim Woo Bin (male lead) comes to Suzy at school. Her slightly frizzazled ponytail and school uniform makes her look youthful and cute!

This was Suzy in the present in the drama, and her adorable facial expressions and comfy dress style (hoodies!) just complement her funny and relatable self!

Don't forget to keep an eye on Suzy's upcoming drama "Vagabond" with Lee Seung Gi! It comes out on the 20th of September~

I U 이지은

Like Suzy, IU is another huge act of Kpop that's been around for more than a decade! She composes, sings, dances, acts... and is a complete gem!

# The Producers

In Producers, IU takes the role of Cindy, a popular Korean idol (which she is!) that is direct and straight-up sass...

but as the drama goes on, we get to see the cuter and more 'real-life' Cindy is. Her closet and expressions change accordingly too - from dark, flashy ensembles to brighter, cheerier styles!

# Hotel Del Luna

With this drama being one of the most talked about, this is a MUST MENTION!

In this drama, IU plays a hot-headed hotel owner that's been alive for basically forever and has to face male lead Yeo Jin Goo! Her closet completely reflects this, from intricate jewelry and elegant dresses...

to this iconic outfit that revives our inner Audrey Hepburn!

P a r k M i n Y o u n g 박민영

I'm sure we can agree on how charming Park Min Young is in her dramas. She previously mentioned how she went an extra mile in playing Secretary Kim by making sure her image really was that of a secretary!

# What's wrong with Secretary Kim

When working, Secretary Kim is perfection. Perfect ponytail, perfect office shirt, perfect pencil skirt... until she is home where she is comfy and at rest.

# Her Private Life

At first, I expected to see a little Secretary Kim in this drama, because Min Young is an art curator who wears lots of blazers and professional-style suits! But because of her fangirl persona, she is really all of us - clumsy yet classy! (nah just kidding... I'm just clumsy)

But we can definitely see the character contrasts from her everyday work style to her casual fangirl mode!

K i m H y a n g G i 김향기

Moving from mature female leads, let's have a look at the younger, up and rising stars that I really love. Kim Hyang Gi is only 19 but has been in lots of works!

# At Eighteen

This is another recent drama that has been quite popular, where Hyang Gi acts alongside with Ong Seong Woo (they are really cute here) to present a drama all about the beauty of youth and also the struggle of teenagers, which is refreshing to see!

How can you not smile at THAT!

I told you they were cute! As a school drama, we mainly see them in their uniforms, which helps us get a better feel for the school life in the drama.

# Drunk In Good Taste/Have a Nice Dessert

This is a smaller drama (webdrama?) where Kim Hyang Gi plays the role of an innocent college student that loves sweet things (and male lead Kim Min Kyu XD). Just like "At Eighteen", the leads are super super SUUUPER cute! I absolutely loved everything about this drama (though it was so short!) and definitely recommend it for those who are in the mood for something light-hearted and sweet (ehehe pun) at the end of a tiring day!

Check it out here (in BOTH HD AND ENG SUB! Thank me later! ^V^)
