Female Fashion Icons in K-Dramas

By Rachael Lovette

For a lot of K-Dramas, fashion is just as essential as the story. They may have distinct personalities in dramas – whether quirky, cute, kindhearted, or villainous – but one thing’s for sure: their outfits are total goals. These powerful women made their characters unforgettable not only because of their amazing acting skills but also their trailblazing sense of style.
