Kdrama Trope Sets

Under-the-Radar Kdrama Common Trope Sets Or, “If I hear another person say that kdramas are just rich guy yells/poor girl cries, I will throw throw them into the ocean.” I have either seen and liked these dramas or heard good or okay things about them. Set 1: We Have To Root Out The Evil: stor...

Anyway, this drama recs list I made like three or four years ago is still excellent.

Some excerpts:

But yeah I updated it this week for my friend.  Please read and give me notes.

[TRANS] 190815 "Jang Man Wol's style enriched in details... I also made a costume that only appeared for 3 seconds"

‘Hotel Del Luna’ Style Director, Hong Soo Hee, said “we don’t recycle clothing… even if the shoes look the same, the heels are different. IU is also painstakingly trying on the outfits for more than 10 times a day.”

“Let’s not restrict the costumes for a God-like character like Jang Man Wol.” Hong Style Director took Hotel Del Luna script, started working and spoke with her team. Jang Man Wol’s fashion is made by the Style Director, drama costume team, and personal stylist (Lee Ji Eun’s stylist). The Producer (Oh Choong Hwan) and Style Director work on the concept based on the script they received, then Lee Ji Eun and her personal stylist make the final decision. An extravagant, eccentric but warm-hearted hotel owner, Jang Man Wol, who has lived and transcends through time and space for 1,300 years, presents a variety of styles, from historical costumes to fancy dresses.

Hong Style Director said, “3 weeks before the drama production has started, everyone was worried about what kind of costume will be suitable for the opening (first scene). We adjusted the fabric (material), the drapability even the length to match with the hotel atmosphere. The golden gown thus created, succeeded in capturing Jang Man Wol’s alluring image by choosing heavy fabric and lengthened it. Lee Ji Eun also participated in discussing the idea of the purple dress that appeared in Episode 1.

Lee Ji Eun could recycle clothes from her previous historical drama, but due to Hong Style Director and Oh Choong Hwan PD desire of wanting to keep Jang Man Wol’s character to the fullest, all the clothes in the historical scenes are newly made. Hong Style Director said, “I consulted with the director to create/produce a new one in order to keep the character to the fullest. I made a costume using detailed design that only appeared on screen for 3 seconds. For the shoes, we prepared low heels for action scene and high heels for close-ups.”

Hong Style Director said, “the more frequent the actor does the fitting (tries on the costume), the more complete the costume. Lee Ji Eun did it enthusiastically despite her busy schedule”. 1 cm alteration on the lower end of the clothes can change the perception, that’s why Lee Ji Eun tried on the costumes more than 10 times per day.”

[digivolvin]

pining is 100000% the most important aspect of pre-relationship fic for me. good-natured whole-hearted pining filled with lovelorn gazing and chest aching and fluttering touches, that’s my top priority. i was put on this earth to watch characters suffer over the profundity of their love for another person. unrequited love is why god made me. characters finding out that their feelings are reciprocated after long months/years of suffering is why the universe was assembled from nothingness. amen.

In Time With You (2011) - Ep 7 (Worst Birthday Ever)

Sad Da Ren is sad 😢. It’s such a betrayal. How could you forget your best friend’s birthday You Qing! Because I like her, I’m gonna blame that rat bastard Ding Li Wei. And you know what kills me? Da Ren doesn’t focus on his hurt or disappointment. He never asks why she didn’t call (neither does she care to explain or even apologise). His only concern is for her. His birthday wish? For her happiness. Nothing for himself. It’s no coincidence he works in the service industry. DR can’t help putting others before himself, often to his own detriment.
