Six Halloween Costume Ideas Inspired By K-Dramas

Looking for an original Halloween costume idea this year? Let k-dramas inspire you. While your costume may not be as recognizable as some of the more common ones worn by trick or treaters, at least you will have fun putting it together. Annd you may run into some other k-drama fans who recognize what you're wearing.  

Here are our top five picks for 2015.

1. Hwang Jung Eum in "She Was Pretty." Paint some freckles on your cheeks, frizz up your hair and wear white socks and black shoes just like Michael Jackson for your pre-makeover outfit. If you run into Choi Si Won, he may approve of your Jackson look. 

   2. Her editor Kim Ra Ra also had some out-of-this-world beyogn the cutting edge fashion looks to imitate.

   
   

   3.Ko Suh Hee wins the costume award for this year for her fairy-tales-gone-wrong outfits in "Angry Mom." 

2. While the drama only hinted at the nature of her business, it required that she dress up in grown-up versions of fairy tale costumes. This kind of outfit only works if you are too old to actually be wearing a store-bought fairy tale heroine outfit.

3. Lee Jin Wook wears a high school outfit in "The Time I Didn't Love You, 7,000 Days" and because he is decades older than most high school students looks like he is wearing a costume.

    Again, this costume only works if you are not actually attending a Korean high school.

4. Lee Soo Hyuk in "The Night Walking Scholar" offers a twist on the traditional vampire costume.

    Pair the fangs with a Joseon-era costume and you will be unique.

5. Ha Ji Won wore some amazing outfits in "Empress Ki," running the gamut from rags to riches. A girl could be inspired by her early boy disguise early looks, but the post-consort outfits are stunning. 

   Match up some traditional Joseon era clothes with dangly earrings and you're ready to rule.

6. Hyun Bin's sparkly track suit in "Secret Garden" is a k-drama classic costume.

   
   

    His character thought it was the latest and most fashionable look. Everyone else laughed. That track suit came to symbolize the disconnect between a rich chaebol and the world of people who must work hard for a living. Just sew some sparkles on to your track suit and you're set.
