Korean Sageuk

While Korean dramas often feature historical settings, the costumes, particularly in dramas set during periods influenced by China, sometimes blend elements of both Korean and Chinese styles, leading to discussions about accuracy and influence.

In general, Korean historical dramas, even those set during periods with strong historical connections to China, tend to incorporate elements of Korean clothing (Hanbok). This can be seen as a deliberate choice to maintain a Korean identity while acknowledging historical influences.
