THE LOOK
INTRO
THE HANBOK
Stills from upcoming historical fusion drama "The Legend of the Nguyen Sisters" starring sisters Joanne Nguyen and Jessica Nguyen. Reunited halfway across the globe from their small hometown in Illinois, these two sisters find happiness in each other's presence and frolicking in beautiful hanboks. Currently airing in Korea, coming soon to a theater near you (maybe).
I was bummed out that I wasn't able to wear a hanbok (traditional Korean dress) the first time I was in Korea, so I made sure that I got to wear one this time. In fact, I wore 3 different ones (with different styles) and this was definitely my favorite. I love the the vibrant red fabric that was definitely the statement piece in this outfit. I paired it with a white top with gold leaves which is the perfect contrast to the red. The dark blue ribbon on the top also matched perfectly with the dark blue upper part of the hanbok skirt. I felt quite regal and taking these pictures made me feel like a princess or the protagonist of a sageuk (historical Korean drama).
