I'm not saying the ao dai isn't pretty because it is but you can't compare and say one thing is more superior especially if you don't know how the design came around to be. Therefore the hanbok for women in general and particularly in the royal house, the skirts (chima) were rectangular in shape but only the gisaeng (kisaeng) have tubular shapes in an effort to be more "appealing" to men. the hanbok was based upon confucian beliefs which emphasised virtue in a woman, therefore clothing weren’t based upon yeah, basic sex appeal, fitting closer to the body and being more “charming” as you say.
