IOTNBO Seo Yea-ji And Anne Curtis Beauty

<p>After Korean actress <strong>Seo Yea-ji</strong> made a mark with her portrayal (not just in acting but in fashion and beauty as well) as Ko Moon-young in the celebrated 2020 hit K-Drama <a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/search#gsc.tab=0&amp;gsc.q=it&#x27;s%20okay%20to%20not%20be%20okay%20metro.style&amp;gsc.sort=" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>&quot;It&#x27;s Okay to Not Be Okay&quot;</strong></a>,  another beauty icon is set to embody the memorable glam of the protagonist, none other than the Filipina actress, the &quot;<em>Dyosa</em>&quot; herself, <a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/metro-style/fashion/2025/7/7/metro-exclusive-anne-curtis-stylist-its-okay-to-not-be-okay-ph-1505" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Anne Curtis</strong></a>.</p><div><br/></div><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/fashion/metrostylewatch/seo-ye-ji-best-looks-ever/33008" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">READ: Seo Yea-Ji Is Back! Here Are Her Best Outfits Ever</a></div><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/u8GU1Hf4jPw?si=dxZvvaqbQtQcrglE" title="YouTube video player" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><div><br/></div><p>The <strong>Philippine adaptation </strong>of the K-drama also embarks on Anne’s comeback to the small screen. Anne&#x27;s selection to play the figure truly makes sense. She has the charisma to recreate the iconic lines Yea-ji delivered, which fans adored and found memorable on the show. Plus, Anne has an assertive, opulent taste in fashion and beauty and a versatile personality, making her the perfect choice for the role. </p><div><br/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1752648074904IOTNBO posters.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><br/></div><p>Both Anne and Yea-ji are queens in their professional realm, and each has her way of expressing beauty. Though their natural features differ, Anne showcases strong, defined features with her Aussie beauty, and Yea-ji has a soft and feminine, light, chic aura derived from the Korean beauty standards. There are still similar yet contrasting glam elements present in and out of their personas.</p><p>To check the exact lovely aspects they have in common, keep scrolling! </p><div><strong><br/></strong></div><div><strong>A Radiant Smile</strong></div><p><strong></strong>Theirs are bright smiles impact the whole room with positive vibes. Influencing laughter with her lovely pout is Anne&#x27;s innate ability; she always brings her beaming personality wherever she goes, while Yea-ji offers her romantic chuckle to anyone, from online followers to her on-screen leading men, allowing the chemistry to flow smoothly. </p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:700px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/17526487679381.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/><span class="fr-inner">Photos via @yeyeji_seo and @annecurtissmith</span></span></span></div><div><strong>Beauty in Black</strong></div><p>Who said black is boring if worn as coordinates? Well, have that myth debunked right now, as these two queens literally gave life to the monochrome color, pairing it with half ponytails that amplify their neck and jawline. Anne went the slicked-back route while Yea-ji went for face-framing tendrils.</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:700px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/17526515182762.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/><span class="fr-inner">Photos (Seo Yea-ji) via IMDb and (Anne Curtis) via Netflix YouTube</span></span></span></div><div><strong>Pretty in Pink</strong></div><p>Kissed-by-the-roses hue to accentuate their au naturel features? We love to see it. For Anne, she complemented her cotton-candy chic look with short waves and cherry-tinted cheeks. Similarly, in one of the episodes in the series, Yea-ji also had touches of bubblegum shades around her eyes and apples, and slaying a slightly disheveled ponytail with side bangs hairstyle.</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:700px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/17526493745823.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/><span class="fr-inner">Photo (Seo Yea-ji) via IMDb and (Anne Curtis) via @annecurtissmith</span></span></span></div><div><strong>Side-Swept Ponytails</strong></div><p>Anne and Yea-ji slayed the side-swept ponytail for the exact same scenes in the drama with seamlessly coated lashes, brushed-up brows, and nude-pink lip shade. An iconic look, if you ask us!</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:700px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/17526509303734.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/><span class="fr-inner">Photo (Seo Yea-ji) via IMDb and (Anne Curtis) via Netflix YouTube</span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>Ant Waist</strong></div><p>Part of one&#x27;s beauty look for this drama is a slender figure, and these &#x27;ant waists&#x27; cinched perfectly made it easy to flaunt their shapes. Anne and Yea-ji both rocked these ensembles, enhancing the look of their waistlines and beautifully boosting their height. For Anne, her outfit made her beauty look powerful, contrasting with Yea-ji’s intense aura because of the sleek liner and super straight hair.</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:700px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/17526512722615.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/><span class="fr-inner">Photos (Seo Yea-ji) via IMDb and (Anne Curtis) via Netflix YouTube</span></span></span></div><p>While both leading ladies have striking similarities in their beauty statements and styling, each one has her own unique brand of charm and allure. Bringing &#x27;Ko Moon-young&#x27; and &#x27;Mia Hernandez&#x27; to life is no easy feat, and both Seo Yea-ji and Anne Curtis surely serve their most passionate efforts for the roles. </p><div><br/></div><p><em></em>Catch &quot;It&#x27;s Okay to Not Be Okay&quot; on Netflix Philippines starting July 18, 2025.</p>
