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.
