Korea’s ‘Queen of Melodrama’ is beloved not only for her fashion sense but also for her innovative beauty lessons

If you've finished watching Netflix's most popular Korean drama Crash Landing On You and are experiencing severe withdrawals, we've got you covered.

The highly rated drama series isn't hyped for no reason – its final episode made headlines for breaking the previous record set by Goblin in January 2017, with a peak rating of 24.1 per cent compared to Goblin's 20.5 per cent, according to Nielsen Korea.

Apart from the main stars' chemistry and stellar acting chops, here's another reason to love this show: leading lady Son Ye-jin, aka Korea's “Queen of Melodrama” isn't your typical Hallyu star. Her hair and make-up choices in Crash Landing On You made headlines for all the right reasons – find out the best beauty lessons to glean from her role as Yoon Se-ri in the series.

1. No time to perfect the eyebrows? No problem

According to Son's make-up artist Mu Jin, the star opted to be seen without eyebrow products for most of her North Korea scenes. A typically uncommon sight in K-dramas, brows are usually filled in for a “natural” look – even in scenes where the characters are in bed (how natural, we know). But you can evidently spot Son's ungroomed brows in some takes. Who needs brows when your skin is always glowing?

2. A scented candle should be a mainstay

In the early episodes, her character's near-obsession with scented candles starts out as comical but then transitions to a more poignant scene (that's all we're gonna say). But we feel her – scented candles (not regular unscented ones) make all the difference in your beauty ritual.
