Hello everyone,

Itaewon Class has been a very popular drama and I enjoyed it, overall. In some ways, it has a very predictable plotline, as it is an underdog revenge story, with a love triangle, and the evil characters have no redeeming qualities about them whatsoever. At the same time, the female leads are very different from the stereotypical female characters. They are complicated, have layers to them, and you both love and hate them at the same time.

That being said, I think what makes this drama special are the supporting characters. Itaewon Class touches on issues like racial discrimination and transgender issues, all topics that I have yet seen to be explored in Korea, especially in a Kdrama. My favorite characters in particular were Ma Hyunyi and Choi Seungkwon and their story. Hyunyi’s growth and strength really inspired me. She is a beautiful character, both inside and out.

In this post I have rounded up some of the sunglasses featured into Netflix’s Itaewon Class. There’s a lot of street fashion highlighted in this drama and I always love the time and energy Kdrama’s put into accessorizes and clothing (granted a lot of it is sponsored).

Drama Feature: What's Wrong with Secretary Kim (김비서가 왜 그럴까) 2018 - Fashion & Jewelry~~~~

"Can you be so self-absorbed that you have no idea what’s truly going on around you? Lee Young Joon (Park Seo Joon) is vice president of his family-owned company, Yoomyung Group. He is so narcissistic that he doesn’t pay attention to what his trusty secretary, Kim Mi So (Park Min Young), is trying to tell him most of the time. After nine years of making Young Joon look good and stroking his very large ego, Min So decides to quit her job. Young Joon’s older brother, Lee Sung Yeon (Lee Tae Hwan), is a famous author who is in love with Mi So. Can Young Joon accept the fact that Mi So no longer wants to work for him or will he get the wrong idea? "What’s Wrong With Secretary Kim” is a 2018 South Korean drama series directed by Park Joon Hwa. It is based on a novel by Jung Kyung Yoon. A 2016 webcomic by Kim Young Mi also was based on the same novel." - VIKI

It would appear that doing a monthly drama feature was too ambitious for me. It's hard to consistently blog-- I don't have much time and these posts take forever.

Anyway, today I'll be doing this post more casually, featuring some jewelry and clothing. I'll only be highlighting some of my favorite items. If you have anything you're looking for in particular, you can ask and I'll try to find it!

A lot of the Korean brands have partnerships with the drama and it's very easy to find the items if you can read and write in Korean :)

Drama Feature: Tempted (위대한 유혹자) 2018 - Fashion, Makeup, & Jewelry~~~~

Many people wish to be the great tempter who has power over love. However, once they actually experience love, they begin to understand that what they once wished for was foolish and useless. In this drama, all the characters are in love just like us. To be frank, they all desire someone. The desires to love and to be loved clash with each other as the story unravels. Some regret the mask they hid behind in front of love and express their disappointment and anger to others. Through love, some learn to love themselves while others get too hurt to stand back on their feet. But then again, through many hardships, some get back on their feet and learn to love once again. Tempted hopes for the viewers to laugh, cry, and go through these stories together. Just like how everyone′s interpretation of love is different, this drama wishes that we can all love passionately without any comparisons.  - VIKI

I decided to start doing a monthly K-Drama feature where I will share the makeup and fashion in the drama. I’ll include the brand, where you can buy it, and prices! I’ll mainly be including my personal favorite items ;)
