Fashion 70's - Episode One

Once upon a time, there was a kdrama called Capital Scandal. CapScan (if you're so inclined) featured some of the best/worst costuming OF ALL TIME - spurring a lovely LJer named bookelfe to post a series of fashion polls to determine the best outfits in a sea of floral fedoras, mismatched suits and hypercolour hanboks. The polls and their posts were wonderful and pastely, and, being a huge costume nerd, it spurred me to procure a kdrama called Fashion 70s.

Fashion 70's (패션 70's) is a kdrama from 2005 that follows four friends from their childhood during the Korean War to their adulthood in the debaucherous seventies. You can see why, like a bower bird, I was drawn to this and the potential costumey LOLZ.

Then I noticed it was TWENTY-EIGHT EPISODES LONG. But it was clear to both bookelfe and myself this was one I had to take for the team, as it was imperative I help in sharing Korean drama's idea of a "fashionable" "seventies" with you all (inverted commas mine).

(and here is where we get out any lingering jokes about the irony of "fashion" and "seventies" being in the same title)

Cue the Bee Gees! Pull on your flares! Tease up that hair! Let's do it!

Oy. The real question: do we want fashion polls, or are we content in agreeing Madame Fierce-a-Lot will always be the winner?


Fair enough.
