I think as a sageuk lover, I’m really being way too pampered by kdrama gods these recent years. So many good sageuk and so many pretty served in front of me. Who wouldn’t love that? Act…
This is one of my main sources for looking at Korean historical clothing lately. I used it in particular when I was designing the dress for my Korean Rapunzel art that I put up on RedBubble. Though I do not currently have legal access to a lot of historical kdramas, I like history, I’m learning Korean, my confirmation sponsor was a Korea-based religious sister, and I like learning parts of history that didn’t make it into my school textbooks. One of my minors was in the Anthropology/Sociology department at my undergrad (where I mostly studied African cultures, actually). Joseon also makes it into my novel writing because I based one of the fantasy countries off of the Joseon period and gave it a lot of the basic progress of the Korean peninsula and Manchuria province. I think I say this a lot, but I haven’t written in a while so here’s a reminder: I think of “realistic” fiction as featuring a diversity of characters because I’m from a big city, and so I knew wanted to add different cultures and peoples interacting in my worldbuilding.
