Fashion Recap: 28 Most Stylish Characters In 2020 K-Dramas - soompi

2020 has been a whirlwind of surprises whether good or bad, and most of us are probably glad to bid goodbye to the year that was. But in K-dramaland, the last year has produced some of the best dramas that kept our stay-at-home days well worth it and helped us escape into captivating stories. Aside from epic pairings, heart-stopping narratives, and unforgettable moments, here’s a list of fashionable characters that have made a mark in 2020 K-dramas:

Style Queens

Seo Ye Ji in “It’s Okay to Not Be Okay”

Who can forget the outrageous yet lovable character that is Go Moon Young? From her whimsical dresses, over-the-top styling, and dreamy high fashion outfits, there’s nothing she can’t pull off. Her style is reminiscent of princesses and witches in fairy tales, much like her character who projects a fiercely guarded individual that just longs to feel loved and accepted. Her out-of-this-world clothes serve as armors that hide her true feelings, until one special person is able to see her for who she really is. Her style is a combination of classic and fashion-forward, and each piece gives a nod to both the past and the future.

Son Ye Jin and Seo Ji Hye in “Crash Landing on You”

In “Crash Landing on You,” everything that Yoon Seri (Son Ye Jin) chooses turns profitable, that’s why her company Seri’s Choice is at the top. Much like her fashion choices, every look turns heads, as she is able to give off elegant CEO vibes with an edgy twist. Her modern, feminine tailored suits are unforgettable, as well as her off-duty styles that strengthen her image as a confident, self-made woman who’s in control. Meanwhile, Seo Dan (Seo Ji Hye) is a woman ahead of her time. Even as a North Korean, she doesn’t conform to traditions and fights for what her heart tells her. Her style of colorful prints and patterns reflect this personality and her worldly, privileged life.

Timeless Icons

IU in “Hotel Del Luna

If there’s anything you can look forward to more than the thrilling story of “Hotel Del Luna,” it’s the amazing feat of Jang Man Weol’s (IU) wardrobe changes in every frame. Having lived a thousand years, this hotel custodian represents every era through her outfits, accessories, and hairstyles, giving viewers quite an extensive course on vintage styling. Her character is just as remarkable, as she portrays her never-ending story of grief, heartbreak, and lessons learned from the past while living in the present.

Glam Rivals

Lee Ji Ah, Kim So Yeon, and Eugene of “The Penthouse

Whether they’re competing to maintain the status quo, battling for who has the best child, or simply fighting against each other, there’s no question that the ladies of “The Penthouse” are all equally best-dressed in their own individual styles. There’s no shortage of glam in this world of luxury, and this drama gives us a peek into the lifestyles of the top percent of Korea’s rich and famous and a glimpse of their wardrobe too.


Kim Hee Ae and Han So Hee of “The World of the Married”

This drama is incredibly well-thought-out in terms of character and story development down to the last details of the two main leads’ wardrobes. Dr. Ji Sun Woo’s (Kim Hee Ae) professional outfits and designer clothing reflect her image as a successful, smart, and independent woman who earned her career and possessions on her own. And Da Kyung’s (Han So Hee) neutral, simple and pastel-colored outfits denote her youthfulness and sheltered life.

Fashionable Frenemies

Park Bo Gum and Byun Woo Seok in “Record of Youth”

Sa Hye Joon (Park Bo Gum) and Won Hae Hyo (Byun Woo Seok) are childhood friends and models in the fashion industry, so it’s no wonder why their styles and careers are always being compared. Later on, they will also compete for love. In this drama, you will see Park Bo Gum in a different light: cool, charismatic, and stylish as he walks down the runway. Byun Woo Seok, on the other hand, is totally in his element while wearing different outfits due to his background as a fashion model in real life before becoming an actor. So whether you’re into the dapper, classic look of Hae Hyo or the more playful, casual style of Hye Jun, you’ll surely get your fill of eye candy in this drama!

Kim Da Mi and Kwon Nara of “Itaewon Class”
In style and in personality, Yi Seo (Kim Da Mi) and Soo Ah (Nara) are total opposites. Yi Seo is more trendy and edgy while Soo Ah is more traditional and classic, which also relates to their beliefs in life and in business. You’ll hear shots firing when these two are in one place as they simply cannot get along, but deep inside, they both have feelings for the wonderful Park Saeroyi (Park Seo Joon) — making “Itaewon Class” a must-watch for the characters and fashion clashes!

Power Partners

Kim Hye Soo and Joo Ji Hoon of “Hyena”

Seo Kang Joon and Park Min Young of “I’ll Go to You When the Weather is Nice

This couple is giving us warmth and sweetness this winter with their cozy looks both in gaze and style. Mostly including a neutral palette of whites, nudes, with little hints of color, the couple’s outfits play well with the slow burn pace, calming rhythms, and serene setting of this drama.

Kim Myung Soo and Shin Ye Eun of “Meow, the Secret Boy”

This couple could also very well be called the most adorable! A cat that turns into a man falls for his caretaker, and you can expect laughs, cuteness, and craziness in this drama. Set in fall and winter, the two leads wear cozy outfits that are perfect for cuddles.
