I have been thinking about starting this rubric for a long time and, honestly, I was planning to start with one of my favourite dramas. But I spontaneously wrote a lot of small notes about style in Memories of the Alhambra drama on my telegram channel in Russian. Then I thought why not translate it for my fellow kdrama fans in English and put all these small pieces together into a short and to the point article. So, let's start
Like many kdrama watchers, I'm going through a kdrama slump. The only thing that keeps me in my kdrama watching shape is Memories of the Alhambra. Despite all the flaws and weak sides of the drama written by the author of thrilling W, I find this drama quite captivating. And, of course, between intense action scenes, I find time to appreciate fashion in this drama. That's what I want to talk about.
Yoo Jin Woo's style - that's what really caught my attention. The typical minimalistic style of a CEO: muted colours, simple cuts, the prevalence of khaki, ochre, beige and blue colours. It really fits a collected, calm, dedicated and bit cold, but selfless rich tech engineer - nothing redundant. Neat and casual looks highlight Jin Woo's reasonableness, his down to earth, intelligent nature. Although the looks are quite simple, they somehow manage not to look boring. Maybe it's Hyun Bin's doing or it is just my enormous love for minimalistic Korean style talking.
