I know, I know. You're hanging for the next Fashion 70's post - but before I unleash the fury of a thousand bell-bottoms, I would like you to watch the following clip. It's five minutes and there are no subs, because you don't need subs for the absurdity to grab you by the collar and force you into a velour suit.

Ladies and gents - Jang-Bin's actual introduction to the series, after scuba fun-times. There's a bunch of cops, The World's Greatest Tailor being amazing, awkward family reunions, a tango is danced and...yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Sadly, that scene didn't end with someone yelling "PUT A FUCKING SHIRT ON, JANG-BIN. GEEZ." or "HE OBVIOUSLY PASSED IT TO THE BROAD IN THE WEDDING DRESS!" I suspect the show would be shorter if that had happened.

Thus ends your FASHION 70'S homework. I'm sorry. But! Next time, Jang-Bin continues not to wear a shirt and Kang-Hee/Faux Soon-Hee surprises us all by becoming the best character! I know, right?

Ladies and Gentlement - the winner of our first ever Fashion 70's costume poll - the tapestry suit!

Like there was any doubt. When we eventually cosplay The Traveling Fashionistas, I bags it.

Shall we dive in? We shall! (note: this may be a pun)

( Get it? DIVE in? DIVE? Scuba suit? Scuba DIVING? Uh...yeah. )

[Poll #1776596]

And...vote! Go! Go! Go!

In other news,

lizbee has provided a fairly accurate record of that time we saw LOL Never Dies. 'Fairly' as it didn't include me embarrassingly bursting out in very loud laughter at Surprise!Phantom (SPOILERS) which I then felt bad about for ten minutes before it all got bad again.

Good times. Good, Phantomy times.

Sticking these suckers together because holy Jesus there's a lot of 1950's based exposition. We just want flares and mismatched patters, people!

But - wait! What's that I see at the end of episode four!? Stay tuned! (spoilers: it's the seventies)

( Who else wishes this show was about The Traveling Fashionistas and their meaningful relationships? )

Ladies and Gentlemen, it's time for the first Fashion 70s Costume Poll! Boogie Shoes for all!

[Poll #1774469]

Vote! Vote! Vote!

I need a lie-down.

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!

( Image may not reflect what's actually under the cut )

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