Sadly, American movies do so few costumers that you scarcely ever have to wonder what actresses--or actors--might look like in other eras. And when they do period pieces, there usually isn't that much difference in their general look.

On the other hand, in Asian drama, the difference between past and modern dress is so radical that even an actor/actress without much range has an alternative personality you get to look for if you're a fan. Like in classic Hollywood, where all the top leading men would have one look in modern settings and a distinct look and stance in Western roles.

the last period drama i watched was tree with deep roots.... but this one I have to definitely watch! Lee Junki is my oppa love :)

ooh I love the hair accessories and the slightly puffed shoulders on her jeogiri (sp?)

Whatever else the drama may be, its costumes are going to be gorgeous, as are the people who wear them (oppa in a suit! Oppa in a suit!)

anticipating. been jonesing for a sajeuk for a while now and wow...with LJK... double heaven.

I have a major girl crush on Jeon Hye Bin. I've been watching Heart is Beating (Beating Hearts / 심장이 뛴다), and she's just the bees knees. As far as I'm concerned, she's a nearly perfect human being. She's more fierce and capable than her male counterparts. Her work ethic puts most people to shame. She has mad people skills, so much so that the people the 119 rescuers save trust her over other more experienced rescuers or even their family members. Her culinary skills dissolve the frowning tiger chief into silly grins. If she were older than me, I'd want her as my unni (but alas, she's younger).

Amazing.
