Fashion and Style on Viu Original's K-Love!

If you haven't watched K-Love yet and you're obsessed with style and fashion, you better take the trip on the Viu app because it's got one heck of an epiphany. Gone are the days of tacky and obvious costumes as the show K-Love showcases well thought out and styled pieces all throughout the show.

You've got the usual suspects Iza Calzado, Jake Cuenca, Sue Ramirez who's day and evening  ensembles impress even the critics because as seen, everyday seems to be red carpet day.

Iza plays Tia who's majorly into power dressing. She's the type who can make employees tremble but still exude chic even if it's tailored, one of whom you feel their presence as they enter the room. Jen on the other hand is a bit on the easy relaxed side, not too heavy on the makeup either and still, you know when they enter the space because they have so much confidence.

If you see Sheila, she's got that flair for dramatics. She always wears something new and bold especially because she's an influencer. From athleisure to evening gowns, she doesn't stop being fabulous!

Frances has a very bubbly and fun personality, where you feel she lives where it's sunny all day. Her staples are plaids, ribbons, funky hairdos and mimic baby dolls on a regular day. While Jay is the ultimate oppa who's into fine clean lines, not too scruffy, and very dapper. He's got all the nice things in the right places so if you love K-drama oppas, you might adore his persona here.

There's certainly a lot to look forward to in the next episodes of K-Love so if you haven't followed these fashionable men and women on the Viu app yet, you must do it now. It's a Viu original so you won't see it anywhere else!
