I was given a mug last week after topping up my skin care products with a certain Korean brand. When I opened the packaging at home, I found that was no ordinary mug - for it features Hyun Bin, one of my favourite Korean actors. The old me would have by instinct either given it away to a friend or neighbour, or put it on the top shelf of the cabinet for visitors. The new me though sported a wry smile when she put away the wrapping, rinsed the curvy mug, and decided to have a cup of tea with Hyun Bin, every morning.
Hyun Bin looks immaculate on the mug, if not a little bit feminine in one of them that features a white lace top. Though I would like to believe his claim that he has never undergone any plastic surgery, other fans believed otherwise.
Plaster surgery or not, the trouble is, once you realise how common it is among Koreans, males or females, the idea creeped in whenever you see a perfect face: is it entirely a gift of nature or, more enhanced by knife? When the story is gripping and the performance is good, this might not spoil your viewing experience. But still, at times, you catch yourself wondering whether a less immaculate face would have been more convincing for a certain role.
