ok I’m totally on board for Do You Like Brahms? but I have to echo @callie‘s sentiment and question those weird clothing choices… especially Jung Kyung’s wardrobe omg those weird dull outfits age Park Jihyun so much…
Lol. It’s too conservative right? Ironically, old K-dramas I would see more exposed shoulders/arms and low cut shirts and short skirts with high heels all the way up to 2013/14. It’s crazy how K-dramas seem to be regressing back now then compared to the 2000s with fashion/etc.
It’s so odd! And there’s no consistency either. Songah’s office wear is fairly youthful and has her wearing brighter colours, e.g. that yellow jacket from the first day, baby pink, etc. But then on the flipside at home—where I would imagine you would want to be comfy, e.g. shorts/tights and an old t-shirt—she put on that odd ankle-length off-white monstrosity with the huge sailor collar. What??
Meanwhile they’ve got Jungkyung in outfits that look like they belong to her widowed grandma.
In 2007, the Korean Television Committee enacted a law that strongly against depicting scenarios like that (bare shoulders/arms/chest/etc). I mean IOTNBO got fined (huh?!) for that scene with Moon foundling KSH’s chest. Its crazy seeing shows from the late 00s to early 10s, with actresses wearing short mini dresses/heels/exposed shoulders. Ex. Kim Suh Ah in I Do, I Do looked amazing (2012) but I feel like now she would be covered up. I also heard the Hallyu wave in Middle East (which is more conservative) plays a role? Although the kiss scenes have gotten much better lol?

Right? Turn on Coffee Prince and literally everyone’s wearing tank tops with their chest and arms on full display. So perplexing.

I was shocked when I did a wiki search and found out that she’s only 25… those outfits need to go.
