It’s that time again, the
time to be inspired by something I watched! This time it’s the Korean period
drama Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo which is about political intrigues in the
10th Century Goreyo Kingdom sprinkled with romance, action
scenes, a lot of beautiful people[so many princes!], amazing locations and
fantastic costumes. I’m not going to go into too much detail on the plot, but I’ve
attached a promo video that could spark your interest better than writing about
it would.
The costume that inspired
me today is one that the 4th prince, Wang So, wears in two of my favourite
scenes as well as on some of the promo pictures. It’s a hanbok (traditional Korean
costume) made from a black shot with burgundy fabric that has a red motif and
is worn with a sash. Here it is on the actor Lee Joon Gi who is doing an
amazing job of fleshing out this character. Scarlet Heart is worth watching if
for no other reason than for his acting.

| The costume & a sample of the amazing locations I mentioned |
The base colour is
SPAritual Body, the stamp and red lines is A-England Perceval and the tips are
done with Mavala 246 Black Cherry. I was so glas I had Black Cherry available
as it is shot through with the same quality of burgundy colour, one that’s not easy to make out unless you see it
under intense light. The stamp is form Born Pretty's L007 plate.

shall leave you with a photo of the princes in modern clothing cause this post
