Game of Thrones: Daenerys Targaryen's outfits




I recently got interested in Game of Thrones (GoT) just because of the hype that happened on the internet and mostly in almost all social media platforms. They endlessly discuss about the series especially the new season this year. The possibilities, predictions and also controversial part about the incest between the main characters.

I started to look for more info from many sites to understand better what it is all about. After doing some reading, I decided to skip the previous seasons and only watch the latest season. At least I caught a glimpse of what is happening in the story and only focus on the main characters who stay alive.

Actually I got curious even more about the meeting between Daenerys and Jon who happened to lead different lives for all 6 seasons and only met in this season. Since I can't help myself to find one pairing within each story that I've followed, this one is also included. I like these two as a couple despite they are related by blood as aunt and nephew. Frankly I didn't see any other possibilities for other pairing and perhaps they may lead to tragic ending when they found out the truth or on the contrary, things will be overlooked as it happened before with their previous family generation.

They will play the important roles for the future of the 7kingdoms, either bear an heir or rules together or even only one of them survive. Unfortunately, we still need to wait until 2019 for the final season. FYI, I even drew them as a fan art drawing once as shown in the picture above.

Anyway, the other thing that caught my eyes is her wardrobes throughout this season with long coats are the best. I love the details such as the dragon chain, the frills, the white fury winter coat material and the hard textures on dark coat to match her dragons' skin. It looks way better than her previous costumes in previous seasons. I kind of tempted to make for my own clothes' collection inspired from it too perhaps later on.

The photos are not mine except the drawing. It belongs to the respected owners. I just showed it here as reference.

Signal: Kim Hye Soo's Jackets (Korean Drama 2016)

   I've finished watching this thriller mystery detective drama 2days ago for
about 3days span of time to spend for 16episodes only on my break time from work.

   The story revolved around some difficult and complicated cold cases' crime solving methods combined with communication through time and space of a mysterious walkies-talkie between 2 police detectives. It was then revealed this strange things occurred due to strong wish of a good-heart and honest dying man of 15years ago whom then claimed as a missing person with unknown fate when he tried to find the culprit behind all related crimes. 
   
   It was one helluva tiring but amazing story to follow. I admire the screenwriter who wrote the story and great acting done by all the actors. I would give 9 out of 10 scale for a recommended drama to watch.

   Aside from the drama itself, the thing that caught my attention the most was the jackets and overall all the clothes worn by Kim hye soo. I love them all. She looked fabulous in those winter jackets along with some skinny pants and boots. I can't find the perfect photos to show it here and to capture it from drama scenes also would be quite a hassle. It was great references for sporty and casual but still can be formal clothing/suit for office worker/ detectives or even college students. A good composition and mixture of some color tones which are quite soft and elegant for woman of her age.

One good moral value from this drama is that we must not give up no matter how impossible it may look, because the future can be different even better than we thought.

Fight For My Way: Ko Dong Man's Outfits (Korean Drama 2017)


  This was the first ever anti mainstream (read: non Cinderella-stereotype) Korean drama I've ever watched. It has a unique plot about friendship and life struggle that really close to reality. A story of more than 20years friendship turned to love between a man named Ko dong man, who at first, almost gave up his dream to be a MMA fighter and a woman named Choi ae ra, who finally found her way as an announcer, added with  2 other best friends/ couple with their own love life and career problems. It is recommended to watch as I gave 8.5 out of 10 scale.

   As usual, I'm not keen to explain further about the story or anything else
related to the drama other than the wardrobes worn by the characters. I love how they mix and match the clothes for the main couple based on some soft and basic color combinations that is still pretty much true to their
character backgrounds as ordinary athlete and announcer/office girl.

Actually, what the man (Ko dong man) wore was more interesting and came in
many variety as sport clothing references. Started from Some workout
or daily suits such as jumpers, casual t-shirts with simple wording prints or graphics and training suits with 2-3 colors plus piping or stripes, also some torn denim jackets and floral shirts. I captures some of them from the drama scenes as the examples to get the idea of what I've written above.

It somehow reminded me way back then when I was designing some similar type of clothes for one company from UK. It had this typical color combination and details on their products. Mostly they use cotton fleece fabric for jumpers, cotton combed for t-shirts and some cotton spandex and other semi polyester fabrics for training suits. I just assume it might be the same with the one in this drama.

Moral value: It is never too late to chase your dream, for it may come true if you believe it. 

Age restriction for viewers are above 15 years old and I also made a fan art drawing of the couple from this drama above.
