[K-Dramatic] A Flower Boy And Their Makeup Are Never Parted

By: Joan M. A recent article in a British newspaper pointed out that Korean men now wear a lot more makeup than they did a generation ago.  It has become more common for men to apply foundation and eyeliner before going out in the morning.

Protecting this secret, she begins working diligently for Cha Ji Heon ( Ji Sung ), the youngest son of a family corporation, an incredibly immature young man with secrets of his own. Through their working relationship, he begins to fall for her. Here's a really cute fan-made trailer for the show: Source: luchiaichigogirl Here's another video that shows just how immature said boss is: Source: TransparentDarkness The drama also has Jaejoong of JYJ fame playing Ji Sung's rival cousin and opposite in personality... h
