K-Drama Characters Who Aren’t Rich But Are Able to Own Expensive Items
All of us could probably relate to this, one of the main reason as to why we're very much obsessed with K-ramas is the fashion.
The characters are often clothed with very nice wardrobe and every episode serves as a fashion inspo. If you are very observant and are very familiar with designer items then, surely you have spotted luxury brands being worn by not only the rich characters but also the normal class ones. Are we the only ones wondering how they're able to afford those luxury brand items?
If you're curious as we are, then we jotted down some of the Korean drama characters who aren't financially stable in the story but can somehow possess designer and luxury items.
Park Min Young as Kim Mi So in "What's Wrong with Secretary Kim"
If you have watched this rom-com drama then surely you have noticed that Kim Mi So (Park Min Young) is an ordinary girl working as a secretary of a vice president in a big company. She lives in a small apartment and goes to work with public transportation. It's actually quite clear that she didn't come from a well-off family and had problems financially which is the reason why she can't quit her job as a secretary. Knowing her background, we can't help but be surprised with her office attires which we have spotted some designer brands like Maison Margiela, Derek Lam, and Lanvin, plus luxury bags from Roger Vivier, Salvatore Ferragamo and Fendi. Wow! How much is your basic salary, girl?
Im Soo Hyang as Kang Mi Rae in "My ID Is Gangnam Beauty"
Im Soo Hyang portrays the character of Kang Mi Rae a student who has been bullied in her high school days because of her appearance and was always tagged as the ugly person by her schoolmates. In the drama, she becomes a college student who also is financially struggling and even her mom could barely afford to pay her plastic surgery medical fee. Her fashion sense is quite simple and laid back in the drama,as seen she is mostly wearing t-shirts, jeans paired with sneakers. However, you can always spot her carrying bags from Miu Miu, Off-White, and Vivienne Westwood.
Jun Ji Hyun as Sim Cheong in "Legend of the Blue Sea".
In this drama, Jun Ji Hyun portrays the character of Sim Cheong, a mermaid who follows her first love in the land called Seoul. Her tears magically turns into valuable pearls which makes her rich just because of crying! However, she's not aware that they're worth a fortune she ends up looking for decent clothes in a garbage bin. But that garbage bin is a unique one, since it's often loaded with fresh-off-the-runway items from luxury brands like Balmain, Dolce & Gabbana and many many more designer things that she flaunts in her OOTD's.
So, where is this garbage bin located? We are heavily interested!
