Corysilk 16 Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 I've been noticing that in every drama the male is on the tan side while the girl is always super pale. I know that pale skin is a beauty standard in S Korea and Asia in general, but some of the lead actresses aren't even that cute. I assumed it was so the average girl could relate to them, but wouldn't they cast darker girls if they truly wanted to pander to the everyday girl and her fantasies?

Corysilk 16 Posted December 31, 2017 Author Share Posted December 31, 2017 Thanks for the suggestions, is "golden bride" a play on her dark skin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PEACHNIM 138 Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 usually the people in older kdramas appear to be more tanned. kdramas nowadays tend to whiten the complexion of the leads though tbh most of the actresses nowadays have lighter complexion. but i would say that gong hyojin and kim sohyun are a bit on the tan side so you can check out their dramas if you want Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boundlessea 126 Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Witch's Court? But I believe both Jung Ryeowon and Yoon Hyunmin had a pretty golden hue to their skin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
