that's everyone of female characters his age :)

Ah are you a fellow fashionista?
What made you look for his style?
Are you into fashion, or Ji Seuk?
you can open a discussion for the fashion :) I will be glad to contribute.

In this drama, they picked PERFECT colors for Ji Seok and also a perfect fashion and hair and how they picked the ties and shirts and coats was wow! it blends with his colors perfectly... For some reason his hair and eyes and lighter and on the brown side...

ALso, his clothes coloring is brand new - I have never seen a green shirt before, green pants, etc. Green shirt and burgundy tie in a kdrama is new, at least to me... Bright blue and neon green too...

The very-black-hair main bad chif justice guy (Kang Shin Jin? I am so bad with names) also looks stunning in that light gray suit. I forgot what shirt he was wearing but somehow it did not matter, that kinda sporthy looking but still very business kinda peppered white-gray rough fabric (like very rough raw silk fabric) just made him stand out, it was almost shining next to his black hair and attracting attention to him.

The blue-green trend is out now. Check ep 1 start of Can this love be trnslated to see those bright blue-neon green combos

A drama with the best ML dramatic elegant luxury high-end biz fashion was Park Seo Joon in What's Wrong with Secretary Kim - the combo of shirts and ties was something I have never seen done so well ever since. My jaw kept dropping - it was combining dots and stripes, bright burgundy silk and black, blues, white, silver, ... ... it was always WOW how did they even think of all those patterns combos and colors!!! Every time he got on the screen in a suit, he was the best dressed ever and looked he came off some top Italian luxury magazine or something... wow. I saw Italian bc the most beautiful fashions I have ever seen everywhere are in Italy, they have knack, everything from cheep clothes to high end is just wow.
And then there are those whose clothes I did not even notice bc they are wearing their EYES. Like the current Idol I ML, the only thing that he is "dressed in" is his piercing active intelligent clear focused expressive eyes, that's the only thing to notice. To think of it, his fashion is also pretty good, comfortable and trendy, but ... the only memorable thing is his eyes. As long as his hair is out of his eyes, he is memorable.
Oh my pet peeve - I cannot stand haistyles where hair goes over eyes. We need to see the eyes.
Back to male biz fashion:
ML in Woman WHo Swallowed the Sun is also very simple but unusual and elegant "Los Angeles rich and sporty" look in color combos that are very unusual, and Oldest Brother has some really rad latest fashions that mimic traditional korean clothes.. THe Lawyer is worst dressed man in all kdramas I have ever seen LOL orange tie on a brown suit etc... LOL but he is a great villain... Hm it is either him or ML the villain in QUen's house in his muddy purple suit with black tie and black shirt LOL Gosh that was one of th ugliest fashion I have ever seen.
and Doctor in Queen's House also has amazing shirt-tie-coat combos... That will be towards the end, when he goes to work in the office with his uncle, wearing coat, shirt tie.
Oh and the rich father of young lady in ALl About my mother - he has pepper and salt short hair and they picked him perfect shades of blue to match.
And Yoon Park in navy blue and beige casual variations in Eagle Brothers, goes perfect with silver shine in very dark black hair

As for ladies fashion, the most flashy WOW is Gong Nan Suk loan shark mama in A Graceful liar. She is da bomb...... She was in that super popular old drama First Love and it shows, she is super catchy... I watch Graceful Liar just for her... In Graceful Liar, she started with super gaudy cheesy fashion, heavy jewelry, and amazing dark lipstick the same color as her hair - that was amazing!, then they toned her slighty but still left her quite flashy with flashy jewelry, .... I loved her miltiple strand pearls with large gems... her tight black dress with red accents and lace... and then .... Lately they toned her fashion down to "sophisticated mewow" with simple pearls and fur wraps and the lipstic to "slightly pink brown shade" but she is still wow fashion kitten. Her smokey makeup and dangling earings and hair died bronze with the matching lipstic are also quite something. She is dressed as if from a small eclectic boutique and everything screams I M FEMME FATALE ... meow NOTICE ME AND I WILL EAT YOU UP roarrrrrr
Also mother of ML in Queen's House is ... flamboyant LOL
and the ML's mom in KBS recent weekender 3 Bold Siblings - super elegant towards traditional austere asian/korean look

If you are a fashionista, let me know if you saw something amazing :)

Kdramas often show female characters and even male - on a diet, eating a salad for lunch, counting calories and having to have 10% body fat

And them you see those actresses in mini skirts and their thin legs are like skeleton legs clunking around

So it is a lot of pressure for actresses (and actors) to LOOK LIKE THAT, and then the general population also strives to look like that.

I want us to help free Korean women and all models everywhere and help them EAT AND BE HAPPY :)

I want everyone to be themselves and not try to look like size 2.

Remember Merylin Monroe? According to kdrama standards, she is a FAT PIG. But ... she is incredibly sexy. And healthy. SHE is the one turning heads everywhere.

There are other woman of even larger sizes that look good and healthy on them, like... Serena Williams, the tennis player.

And super athletic strong women with energy... Think Tina Turner...

They are all super sexy. AND THEIR SIZES SHOULD BE ALLOWED. ALL HEALTHY SIZES SHOULD BE ALLOWED!!!

**** And this drama is in that direction. Those office worker women in ep 1 have WOW!!! shapes and look just stunning. **** I have noticed nicer bodies in a few other recent dramas globally distributed. I think that is a positive development.

It's all about that base ... LOL the hourglass shape, in whatever size it is.. . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7PCkvCPvDXk

And just for fun, there is the rebellion movement in Korea itself - this is the guy who played OTS for Shin's Project, this is song I AM FAT AND HAPPY. i am not endorsing his concept of fat and just sitting around eating meat bc he is ... overweight.. but ... I am endorsing the concept of BE YOURSELF AND MAKE SURE TO EAT PROPERLY

No Tail to Tell is like that too :) another great actress

thank you!

thank you!

Well it would help if you read,,,, . I was mentioning IN THE FIRST PARAGRAPH OF THE POST the scene in ep 1, a bunch of women walking on the street, the "leader" in white dress with black dots - do you recall that scene? AND I SAID they are all super gorgeously shaped, and are far from skeletons AND THAT IS GREAT bc that provides a good role model for what women look like.
When you put skeleton women into a drama, that gives a message that skeleton women are "cool" and encourages the audience to also be skeletons to be "cool" and also puts pressure on all actresses to be skeletons. AND THAT IS UNHEALTHY

I do not get this script writer... Ok sure the drama has to start by some major mess, that is understood... but ... to make the mess soooo easy and obvious was ..... lazy !!! This drama promises to be rather fun and also has some thriller, so ... will the script writer continue with lazy or what?

So ... this experienced pitbull in high position SAW that her colleague was involved in bribery, still let him stay on in a high position, let the whole team stay on, spoke secret things in loud voice in the office.. ... the Mighty CEO spoke freely in front of employees... when they met, they stayed outside visible in the light... EVEN AFTER CEO CONFIRMED TO HER THAT THERE IS A RAT.....

Even a small kid these days knows not to do that.. So... will this script writer continue to be this lazy for all following episodes? Then there is no point in having this drama...

One good thing is that the global audience is NOT for super skeleton-skinny Korean actresses (and actors) - so finally we get to see some really good looking healthy women, like those ladies at the start of ep 1 ... Wow!!! They have stunningly gorgeous bodies. That lady in the white dress with black polka dots is a stunning beauty, and all her friends, they got GORGEOUS figures. Finally we get to see real women in kdramas!

SKELETON WOMEN ARE THOSE WHO EAT SALADS AND DIET AND KEEP THEIR BODY FAT AT LIKE 10%. If you are naturally thin although you eat well and are physically active, that is fine. You are going to have MUSCLES and therefore by defintion, you are NOT a skeleton woman..
A SKELETON WOMAN JUST KEEPS HER "MODEL LOOKS" AND DOES NOT EAT AND DOES NOT EXERCISE. I am talking about those here. The model types. OUT WITH THOSE UNHEALTHY HABITS!!!!

being thin is ok when it naturally happens
BUT IT IS NOT OK WHEN SKINNY IS FORCED - and yeah that is body shaming, you cannot be "fat". I totally hate body shaming in kdramas, which FORCES actresses to be super skinny and look like they are starving.

Marilyn Monroe is a "fat pig" according to these silly standards.

Even models today have to maintain their weight above a certain number.

SO YES, OUT WITH SKELETON WOMEN - THOSE WOMEN WHO ARE MADE THAT WAY BY STRICT DIETING AND MEASURING THEIR BODY FAT AND WEIGHT TO CERTAIN LOW VALUE

I am not body shaming, I am promoting HEALTH

Out with Skeleton women and halelujah to healthy muscular nicely shaped strong women!!!!

Skeleton women are probably models but - out with skeleton models too!!!!

Let women have their health and muscles and fat, 30% body fat is necessary for female hormones to work properly. It is well known because athletes who go under that percentage, lose their periods etc. there is a whole bunch of health consequences when hormones do not work properly

I think this allowing women to be healthy is going to raise Korean birth rate, which is the lowest in the world. Skeleton women have no energy to live their lives properly, are not healthy, and definitely will have reproductive issues.

Looking at countries that have proper birth rates, they got women who are strong and in good shape. For example, African or Brazilian women are drop dead gorgeous, muscular to plump, and healthy

MDL summary says tvN produced this, but when ep1 opens, it shows Netflix Logo, then Studio Dragon logo, then it says NETFLIX SERIES. So how is Netflix involved in this drama?

I am for it now, she got the best legs and is TOTALLY after him and all over him, so it will be fun to see her on the screen

whew.... thanks.

ok good thanks.

After seeing ep 5/6, I am in total agreement with you She likes him, she is super flirty and all over him, also super ... dumb and entitled rude... and she got great legs. Romance there will be FUN :) Those legs on the screen are a welcome detail. So many actresses are too skinny to even live, so to see a pair or REAL legs is a victory to good health and strong women. Yes. She is in. She has the energy to chase Ji Seok.

The head nun prosecutor can stay as a work friend :) and the reporter too.
The reporter is awful skinny looking and no romance air around her. I remember that actress from The Real Has Come and it drove me bananas how skinny she was yet supposedly pregnant, plus she always act the SAME all the time.

bc she is cute and has great legs

she got some great legs wow. No skeleton skinny as usual but real legs

Hey judge killing ppl is not cool. When fighting a monster, you canNOT become a monster

Also, I dont like the idea of encouraging the "victim" to rejoice in revengeful killing.
Also, even if they are just mocking, it is a huge risk, what if something had gone wrong and that boulder fell... The Judge is not a trained James Bond with 10000% precision. Ok this is a drama but .... it lets kids grow up with wrong ideas :)

Fashion comment: recently GREEN and burgundy was discovered as a color that works well on Koreans that have lighter brown hair and eyes. Ji Sung is wearing a dark green shirt at the end of ep 5 and it looks great, with dark blue/burgundy/gold tie. Earlier in the ep he was wearing a greenish tie and that was cool too. Can this Love Be Translated wore bright blue shirt with a dark blue tie that had neonish green pattern, and a dark blue coat. So yeeah another new color is bright blue shirts for men.
Ji Sung also wears washed navy blue coat with burgundy/ gray/ light gray tie and it looks good, with off white bluish grayish shirt off the same color as the light stripe on the tie, and olive pants. Then he wears that same off white grayish shirt - or very similar - with a tan coat and a tie that is dark navy blue with thin burgundy and silver and double stripes in that tan coat color.

Interesting!!!! How did they think of those color combinations??? !!!! it is amazing.

All kdramas have unique costuming and hair style for all actors and create separate characters with that. It is incredibly creative.

Black hair guy like Kang dude is wearing a light gray suit and that looks great on him.

It all looks very good. Whoeveer is putting together the wardrobe, has an amazing sense of color

I like Ji Sung's Judge fashion and clothes, shortish baggy pants and a normal length coat for work in Seoul and a short baggy jacket for work in Cheong... - and white socks!!!! in Seoul too LOL he is definitely different as all those dudes wear dark socks with leather shoes. He is not wearing white sneakrs but some kind of dark shoes though. I have to check that.

The best part imo is Ji Sung's Judge hair, all spikey up, like he never combed it. It totally matches his character in his drama and generally the way he acts - he is a troublemaker and a jester. Was he a nightmare rowdy kid and found a way to make a living out of it... ? He looks it for sure LOL

Omg Chef Brother "Gordon Ramsey" Jun Ho is actually the paid henchman killer in THe Judge Returns, the end of ep 4 and the start of ep 5 has him take off his mask and it is him.. with a dead serious face.. that looks thinner than in First Man. and he cut Ji Sung... dapuna... sekiya....

ALSO, he is ML in Positively Yours which just aired this weekend. The same role always - very serious poker face... I wonder IF he can act :(

Yeah there are two possibilities, but it is one Kang boy.
bc this drama tends to go from one scene to a different scene with an answer, when Evil CeO was thinking of her son, the camera want to Cook Brother...
And it is for sure it is one of the brothers bc Professor's Wife keeps treating her husband and Cook Brother and keeps calling him "Son" - and totally ignores the other brother. So either Cook Bro is adopted and she tries to "include" him or he is a real son and Lawyer Bro is adopted (more probable). It would be more wicked that Lawyer Bro is Ha Neul, son of arch enemy of Poor Sister, and is in love with Poor Sister, and Cook Brother ends up with Rich Sister, and his father cheated with her mother.
