Oddness/Weirdness

Day 4 of Guest Blogger Week is here, what what!  Are you ready for today's post?  This one is somewhat of a rant about K-Dramas utilizing the ever so fun "Y U NO" meme.  You'll totally relate to this one if you've ever watched a few dramas and wondered why they do the things they do in every single one .  When you're done reading, be sure to let us know about any K-Drama tropes that really bother you in the comments below! K-Dramas: Y U NO Make Sense? K-dramas. We love to love them, love to hate them and hate to love them, all within one episode. But I can't quit them. Can you?

A recent article in a British newspaper pointed out that Korean men now wear a lot more makeup than they did a generation ago.  It has become more common for men to apply foundation and eyeliner before going out in the morning.

Lollll...  This is part of the reason why I love me some SHINee.

Unbeknownst to her, her new boss is a man who she accidentally involved in a fight, getting the president of her new company in trouble. Protecting this secret, she begins working diligently for Cha Ji Heon ( Ji Sung ), the youngest son of a family corporation, an incredibly immature young man with secrets of his own. Through their working relationship, he begins to fall for her. Here's a really cute fan-made trailer for the show: Source: luchiaichigogirl Here's another video that shows just how immature said boss is: Source: TransparentDarkness The drama also has Jaejoong of JYJ fame playing Ji Sung's rival cousin and opposite in personality... h
