Korean dramas are typically remembered for their characters (and/or actors), heart-wrenching plots and captivating storylines. And most recently, viewers have started paying more attention to what the actors and actresses used or wore in the shows – particularly the jewellery and makeup they wore.
What Went Viral in Korean Dramas
For instance, in Korean drama Encounter, Song Hye-Kyo played the role of a CEO of a hotel, and wore Sulwhasoo’s Essential Lip Serum Stick. Actress Park Shin Hye wore Mamonde’s Highlight Lip Tint in #6 Pin Spot in her drama Doctor Crush. As a result, that particular Mamonde lippie was quickly wiped off the shelves within two weeks of being stocked up. The items that went viral were not limited to lip makeup but also mascara. For actress Park Bo Young’s role in Oh My Ghostess, she used the Lancome Grandiose Waterproof Mascara.
