About Korean Daydreamer

I review Korean restaurants and beauty products, mainly from K-town. And k-dramas, lots and lots of k-drama love! I'm also an actress/comedienne/filmmaker in LA where I go by the name Elaine Chu.

Got new headshots by the wonderful Alonya Eisenberg of Jozu Photography! Alonya made sure the whole experience was fun and goofy, I just felt like smiling and giggling the whole time. Shooting outside with natural lighting was also a plus, get that sunshine.

Hair and makeup by the talented Sung Park. Her studio is located in a weird nondescript building in Ktown. I had a hard time finding it because there’s not much numbering, the front door is locked, and the only way in is from the back. But I guess the effort I put into tracking her down was like an adventure and the prize was my first experience with a full set of false eyelashes. Like, individual eyelashes that she painstakingly put on with tweezers. Can’t believe some girls do this EVERY day. Isn’t Sung cute? Highly recommend her if you speak Korean and like kdramas.

Making it at Maker

Directed two pilots for Maker Studios. Really love how professional yet fun everyone on crew is. Such a chill place to work. If you’re going to log 15 hour shoot days, this is the place to do it!

Directed the beautiful and talented workout guru Tiffany Rothe. She’s fit. I’m not, and have to wear three layers of clothing to stay warm in 60 degree weather.
