It was back in 2002.. right in the middle of the World Cup.. It has already been 16 years.. Oh, how time flies...
Namiko..!! Lee Se-eun. I remember her having very round eyes and great skin.
There were several dramas before that covered the Kim Du-han series, such as ‘General’s Son’ and ‘Wang-cho’.
But I think ‘Rustic Period’ (Yainshidae) was the most entertaining.
Even now, various memes from it are popular.. The two most famous ones are ‘4 Dollars’ and ‘I’m a eunuch?!’
For the famous ‘4 Dollars’ scene, please refer to the video below.
The ‘I’m a eunuch’ meme..
I suppose because I’m a plastic surgeon who focuses mainly on eyes, that’s all I see. ^^;;
