We've always loved drawing beauty inspiration from our beloved K-dramas. Glass skin, gradient lips, and air bangs are just some of the trends we've loved and tried, thanks to the Hallyu wave through the years. To this day, our eyes are still glued to the small screen on the hunt for new hair, skin, and makeup trends to cop from South Korea's dramas. And because we're smitten by a recent K-drama called 'Extraordinary Attorney Woo', we just had to sit up and take notice of her super cute bowl cut!


Played by seasoned actress Park Eun-bin, Attorney Woo is an autistic genius lawyer. We find her quirkiness quite adorable, and it goes without saying that we love her style too! Her bowl cut and fringe bangs are the perfect complement to her crisp pastel blazers and skirts, and heeled loafers look!

Park Min-young in Healer (2014) - A very young Park Min-young sports reddish brown hair for the action-romance drama Healer, alongside Hallyu heartthrob Ji Chang-wook. We rarely see Min-young in short hair, so this was quite refreshing!K-drama World

Hwang Jung-eum in She Was Pretty (2015) - Hwang Jung-eum stars in this romantic comedy that shows two sides to her short hairstyle: one super curly bob, and another ironed out bob—both adorable in our opinion!Dramabeans

Hyeri in Reply 1988 (2015) - How can we ever forget Hyeri's iconic role in one of the top rating K-dramas of all time 'Reply 1988'? Her blunt bob and side bangs are the perfect complement to her playful character!Korea Times

Lee Sung-kyung in Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok-Joo (2016) - Another K-drama favorite has definitely got to be this romantic comedy starring baby faced Lee Sung-kyung. She's a short-haired redhead in this drama, which makes her character all the more charming and unforgettable!AsianWiki

Park Bo-young in Strong Woman Bong-Soon (2017) - Tiny but definitely a force to be reckoned with, Park Bo-young stars as Do Bong-soon in Strong Woman, who's a literal super strong woman with the face, hair, and body of a fragile young woman! Dramabeans

Bae Suzy in While You Were Sleeping (2017) - We're so used to seeing Bae Suzy with her lush, long locks, so this character of hers with effortless short hair in While You Were Sleeping is a welcome break.IMDb

Song Hye-kyo in Encounter (2018) - Another K-drama actress we love for her long hair is Song Hye-kyo, but we've got to admit—her jet black short haircut in Encounter is one that's etched in our memory.Hancinema

Shin Min-ah in Chief of Staff (2019) - Who else loves Shin Min-ah in an effortless bob? *Raises hand* The seasoned actress has shown many sides of her, but we rarely ever see her in short hair so this character is a great addition to her list of roles.Hancinema

Park Gyu-young in Dali and the Cocky Prince (2021) - One of the most unique hairstyles we've seen is that of Park Gyu-young in 'Dali and the Cocky Prince'! She rocks a rather long pixie cut with curled individual bangs—such a quirky look!Hancinema

Kim Go-eun in Yumi's Cells (2021) - We're huge fans of Kim Go-eun, but we're even bigger fans of her in cute, short hairstyles like this in romcom Yumi's Cells!Hancinema
