#8090s kdrama pictures

[anemoiawithatouchofobsession]

Hey there.

Welcome to my tumblr!

This picture. This album cover of Park Young Mi's "나는 외러움, 그대는 그리움 (I am loneliness, you are longing)", is the bane of my existence as Sea on the internet. You might know me as SeeTheSeaInUDP on reddit, or elsewhere.

This picture above encapsulates everything I feel for the 80s-90s, especially in Korea. It is exactly my aesthetic. The aesthetic of this blog, if you so will.

~ anemoia with a touch of obsession ~

"anemoia - n. nostalgia for a time you’ve never known"

"Imagine stepping through the frame into a sepia-tinted haze, where you could sit on the side of the road and watch the locals passing by. Who lived and died before any of us arrived here, who sleep in some of the same houses we do, who look up at the same moon, who breathe the same air, feel the same blood in their veins—and live in a completely different world."

______________________________________________________________

A sepia-tinted picture of a young woman, her head hung, staring into the air, obviously deep in her thoughts. Sitting on a railway track that goes far into the back and fades as it takes a turn. Her long brown ankle-length skirt that brushes the grounds and cover her white pointed boots, paired with a white blouse, give her the look of a quiet, introvert and thoughtful young girl.

I feel somewhat the same. I think about a lot of things, over- and underanalyze happenings and pop culture from that generation. It's like, I am lost a little in that time. A time that is far behind, hazy and fuzzy in many people's memories, but still there for me to discover and enjoy. Just like I discovered "I am loneliness, you are longing".

The song itself is heavenly, and no, I don't think it sounds like Bette Davis Eyes. If you want to take a listen to it while scrolling down my page, here you go:

This is my profile picture btw :

The girl here is Lee Ji Yeon, my favourite Korean singer of all times. I love her voice, her songs, her style and stage performances. You can listen to her discography or a little "Best Of" Compilation that I made here:

(Can you guess from which K-dramas these are?)

(Answer : "Sons And Daughters" and "Sandglass")

[anemoiawithatouchofobsession]

Kim Hee Ae in "아들과 딸 (Sons And Daughters)", 1992.

The video quality was so bad but it just made her look like a painting, so I just had to take a screenshot. This could have been a painting, don't you think?

[anemoiawithatouchofobsession]

Go Hyun Jung in "Eyes Of Dawn" as North Korean spy, Myeong Ji.

She was SUCH a hottie (I mean... Miss Korea...). Her scenes literally made me cuss Park Sang Won out because mans got to kiss her NOT JUST ONCE BUT TWICE in his career hehe. Plus this just goes to show that some actresses actually look good in thick/pronounced makeup rather than the classic "no makeup" makeup look. The fancy earrings are also appreciated. Literally so pretty...

Sun Woo Eun Sook as Mi Hyun's aunt in "Sons And Daughters", MBC

Also this is why I should watch more subbed dramas so I can do stuff like this lmao

I do love sitting there with my half Korean skills and trying to decode what's going on LMAOOO

He learns fast. SBS Sandglass (1995)

Hoo-nam to Seon-ja ("Sons And Daughters"), and Sung-shil to Ji-eun ("What Is Love?") :

"I was raised in this house. What makes you think you will be treated different than me just because you married my brother? You will end up like me in no time. Fearful, silenced, beaten down, your confidence tread upon, your womanhood thrown in the dirt. Why are you doing this to yourself? Do you know how much I hurt? Why do you think I am the way I am?"

My first post

Hey y'all! If anyone knows me it's beacuse I'm u/SeeTheSeaInUDP on reddit or 8090s.k_goldenoldies on instagram lmaooo. I have a naver blog too, as well as pinterest.

I'm originally an 1st gen kpop stan, but we've graduated to 90s, then 80s, and now I'm headlong into 70s. SAVE ME.

I wanted a platform where I can thoughts dump but don't have to be coherent like in reddit. Maybe I'll repost stuff from any of my other social platforms (I have so many, I should open a linktree lmfaooo)

Anyways yall I like it here for now

[anemoiawithatouchofobsession]

THIS IS WHAT I MEANT LADIES AND GENTLEMEN

Also notice how when Sungshil is at home she wears chequered patterns in white and another simple colour, long skirts with puffed sleeves, the conservative family daughter textbook. And once she's outside, she's in short black skirts, more modern and edgyier clothing lol

The CHOKEHOLD that Sung Shil's fashion and style has on me. My God. Lim Chae Won you beautiful woman. Literally made to be a model atp.

If you want to call me by name, I usually get called "Sea" on the internet after my reddit username. I am a 04-liner, and born in Germany to Indian parents. I might sometimes post some german and indian 8090s stuff, but I'll make sure to keep it a minimum. I am an oldie through and through - but only when it comes to popular culture! I do keep up with modern pop culture too, btw.

My favourite Korean singers from the 8090s are Lee Ji Yeon, Kang Susie, Yang Soo Kyung, Jang Deok and a lot more. My first love were actually 1st gen K-pop idols - S.E.S., Fin.K.L., Baby V.O.X. and CSJH The Grace are still my all-time favourite girl groups.

I also LOVE to talk about actors and actresses! I think the ratio of actors to singers might even be 70:30. In the 8090s, actors (especially TV actors) were called "talents", with the term "actor" being reserved for movie actors. So that's how I call them on this blog too, for historical accuracy.

My favourite female talents are (among others), Chae Shi Ra, Go Hyun Jung, Ha Hee Ra, Jeon In Hwa and Shin Ae Ra. Among the male talents, I like Choi Min Soo, Han Seok Kyu and Cha In Pyo. I really do like more female talents than male ones...

I also like to post japanese 8090s idols on here sometimes. My oshis are Moritaka Chisato, Okada Yukiko, Matsuda Seiko, Nakamori Akina and Kudo Shizuka.

If you want to know about some other accounts I have on the net, check out my carrd! I loved making it. (Quick note : I don't update a lot on my naver blog, sadly...)

Enjoy your time here, and I'd love it if you sent me an ask! I'll be glad to answer any question you might have .
