As a long-time fan of period K-dramas and someone who has spent countless hours researching and appreciating the intricate details of traditional Korean costumes, I must admit that I was initially taken aback by the costumes seen in the trailers for Queen Woo. However, upon further investigation, I understand the production team’s decision to create a unique vision for this “chase action historical drama.”
The upcoming period action K-drama titled “Queen Woo” features stars Ji Chang-Wook and Jeon Jong-Seo. This drama is scheduled to air on TVING starting August 29, 2024. However, before its release, there has been a stir surrounding the costumes of the characters that were displayed in trailers released by the streaming platform, sparking controversy.
The debate emerged after viewers from the trailer noticed and criticized the costumes of Queen Woo, commenting that they appeared to reflect a stronger Chinese aesthetic rather than the traditional Korean hanbok style, as reported by OSEN.
