At least I'm seeing better hairstyling now in costume dramas. Somewhere I've read that it started with shampoo hair Mark Chao's Ye Hua, whose silk wig was the costliest prop of the drama.

Aiyooo Yehua and his locks were a character on their own which outshadowed BaiQian lmao....

[partyon]

@madmad min Happy to add one of your nominees to our poll. Which one would you like me to add?

LOL! That hairstyle and lipstick. He's a villain in that drama, right? Honestly, there was no need for the horrible hairdo and makeup. They should have just let him be the beautiful antagonist that he was. 

Yes, he is a main villain there). In the end they messed his hair even more, the upper part of THAT went down as well .

For me, it's more of an impact when the seemingly innocent and gorgeous is the devil all along.

Yep, like for example that "wolf in sheep's clothing" guy with angelic face wearing white clothes in recent Who Rules The World. I was quite in shock to learn the truth about him.

As he plays the deity, his styling as DHDJ was such a contrast to that red and purple look. 

BTW, and I know a lot of people also think like that, Vengo is so far unbeatable in "wearing white hair" contest. I haven't seen anyone in all dramas I've watched so far , who looks as gorgeous wearing white locks. The one who made that casting decision was really a genius ))).

A bit messy hairstyle doesn't mean a total mess, hahaha!

That's totally fine ,I suppose, since, if I remember correctly, he plays a bandit there))). Don't think bandits wash and style there hair a lot.

Emm, this just shows how different and diverse we all are (that's actually very cool). I personally thought his hair style was top in that drama, they managed to do it so that the styling in ancient and modern parts is very well connected.

Unlike that IMO awful cut in Goblin, just looking at THAT make my eyes bleed(((.

The sageuk hairstylists just went out and grabbed a few women's wigs. They are long and straggly and the actors look like they are trying to figure out how to peep through.

 

Great summary, chingu!

Oh! @partyon chingu, no need to add him - but remember this guy from Mask?

 

I added him - especially because he so often has bad hairstyles in dramas

OMG Lol,  I liked his hairdo in TOTNT in Modern Era, but for costume portion I preferred Goblin's more <The King Portion lol>, we might be polar opposite there haha.

In Goblin I was totally fine with that ancient look as well, it was the modern one that brought me so much pain .

This is a fun poll!

I voted for...

Category 1--I haven't watched the drama, but YSH.  Awful hair.  Faith was my first kdrama and I actually liked LMH's hair. 

 

Category 2--Oh that awful frizzy hair HEJ sported in She was pretty.  I know a lot hated Gu Jun Pyo's croissant hair in BOF, but, to me, it's like looking at LMH with his bangs off of his forehead.  Now the orange hair guy......My other vote when to the bowl cut.  Why can't k actors get past that cut?  Almost all of them look better with their hair off their forehead.  

Category 3--SJK's hair--makes him look too feminine

 

*******

Has anyone watched a jdrama called Don't Call it Mystery?  The ML has an afro.  Yes, a Japanese with an afro!  I initially kept watching because I was fascinated with his hair 

[agenth]

I voted already but this hair made me drop the drama (Beautiful Gong Shim)

 

 

lol :

is he teasing her or what? i havent seen the drama

 

 

 

btw I love LMH's hair in Faith. It also made me fall for his character hahaha

IKR? Most actors are forehead oppas. Few of them actually look better with bangs covering their forehead. I'm so glad that we're out of that era when EVERYONE had bangs. Nowadays we get to actually admire forehead oppas in their best looks.

 

Yoon Shi Yoon oppa has stubbornly been covering his forehead for years, even though he obviously is a natural forehead oppa.

Is that @confusedheart's oppa? lol

 

I also added a new actress to the poll. Had totally forgotten about Kim Ju  Hyeon in Modern Farmer.

 

How she saw anything behind those bangs is beyond me.

Omo! My oppa is hilarious and has a great comic timing. I loved My Beautiful Gong Shim. They had a great chemistry and comic timing. I laughed so much during the drama. 
 

@agenth Yes, he is always teasing her. 
 

Another hilarious drama has to be Rooftop Prince. Those guys were hilarious in track pants.

I remember the FL having issues with her hair, so I guess she had justified bad hair as it was part of the story.

 

 

i remember full house with nostalgia ~ i thought SML looked better hehe

Croissant hair?? So true and too funny!

 

Omo - then I looked up "croissant hair." Check this out.

[partyon]

Just wanted to add to my last post that even though Kim Ju Hyun looked like this for most part of the drama:

 

 

When she finally had a makeover, no wonder that Kwakkie's character looked at first so stunned and then happy. He finally realized how pretty she was

[confusedheart]

I realized while voting that in all my favourite dramas my oppas were having a bad hair day that lasted throughout the dramas.    Who is their stylist? 

 

 

 

But kudos to @the_sweetroad for the the brilliant suggestion.  Kim Byung Ok - Mask (and about another dozen dramas)- Yup, he is the winner hands down.

***  This is a rampant problem in K-dramas: horrible hair. I call it a pandemic – hahaha –     I believe everyone has different opinions, I respect your views too. Watching these dramas, I was thinking about how bad their hairstyles were.

 

-       I just can’t get over Kim Soo Hyun’s shabby hair on “Dream High”. But, the hair makes sense because his character in the drama comes from the province and comes from poor family so, he doesn’t know the latest fashion in the city. But, good that it transformed as the show progressed. I can say he was so adorable that he almost pulled it off...But maybe that's just my bias for Kim Soo-hyun..

 

 

-       I also don’t like the hairs of Park Seo Joon in “Itaewon Class” (chestnut hairstyle) & "Hwarang". Although that "IC" hair had become a trend that some were copying.

 

 

-     Lee Min Ho's in "Boys Over Flowers". It's an awful hairstyle. As much as I love him, I have to admit that this permed hairstyle made me feel awkward looking at him,the black curls surely were a big fashion disaster. Although his trademark is his curly hair in that drama. It's just that it almost seems like the hair was just placed on his head! But I’ll let this one slide since it does kind of suit his handsome face, so I’m not complaining very much. Besides, I adore this man so much!

This is so funny chingus. There was a blog post in today's Pannchoa about the Korean bowl haircut

 

[theqoo] KOREAN HAIRSTYLE THAT FOREIGNERS DON'T REALLY LIKE

- Your hairstyle is really popular in Korea right?

- Yes that's right 

- What's the name of the hairstyle that everyone does there?

- Two block or bowl cut

original post: here

 

1. I don't like it either

2. Haircut aside, Ellen is synonym with racism

3. Who are you to RickRoll'D on other people's haircut? That haircut is freaking refreshing in the Summer

4. Anyone with that haircut just looks like an incel

5. I hate it tooㅋㅋ I remember they were trying so hard to push that haircut with dramas' male leads

6. I'm sorry but even Koreans hate that

7. Looks like we're not the 'Love Yourself' country after all?ㅎ

8. Please stop doing this... You look like a ** loser with that haircut. The more you hide your forehead, you might think you look handsomer but you end up looking uglier, it's better to just show your forehead

9. ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Honestly, male commoners haircuts were freaking restrictedㅋㅋㅋㅋ But it's nice that it's becoming more varied nowadays

10. Me too I hate this haircut, but acting like that makes you look racist

LOL at the first comment

"Yup I hate it lol, 90% of the time it comes out looking like this"

[nohamahamoud2002]

 

 

 

Found those, don't ask me who are they, I simply don't know

[leo2020]

BTW,people,  I wonder what do you think about the relatively popular "top knot" men haircuts?

 

It became very popular in my country recently,  but given I haven't seen any of that in Kdramas or even among members of Korean showbiz , I suppose it's not that spread in Korea?

 

P.S. My husband strongly opposed the idea of having that cut (called it a head trash bag and run away) .
