IDK.
That I was away long enough to forget how silly these ads sometimes are?
That when they try to make pretty women ugly, it does not work?
That magical make-up is hard to buy in store?
I don’t understand Korean beauty standards sometimes. I hate it when the female lead is portrayed with frizzy hair and glasses and that’s supposed to make her “ugly” (probably because I look just like that lol).
One thing I’m enjoying about The Secret Life of My Secretary is that the heroine sports this exact look, but the guy doesn’t try or want to change her, and he’s falling for her real self rather than her fake glamorous act.

Right, I almost forgot SoS, that’s exactly what I like about it. It is also very difficult to make Jin Ki-joo ugly or mediocre, she looks even cuter.
