Boys DO make passes at girls who wear glasses…and the other way round.*

Pat here:

Have you noticed that the corrective eyewear Koreans wear in kdramas is always the same style? I have!

I thought this might be a thing, so I googled it, and guess what? It is. There is a trend for ‘round retro’ glasses in Korea, and it seems kdrama actors have caught the wave. These round, oversize metal rimmed spectacles are on everyone in kdramas. Check out the five actors-male and female-who comprise the leads in ‘Hospital Playlist’. They all wear them.

At first I thought this design was, well, rather dorky. But now that I’m deep into all aspects of kdramas, I kind of like them. They’re simple, unfussy, and they show off the actors’ eyes beautifully. Of course it helps that the bulk of the leads in kdramas are beyond gorgeous. They all have perfect noses, perfect skin, perfect hair, and, of course, perfect peepers. <Sigh> Again.

Now, about the sunglasses Koreans wear. I’ll have to get back to you on that…

*Get the pun?
