My note: this video is about the movies being released around holiday season........interesting because you get to analyze yourself the kind of competition that The tailor will be facing. They all belong in different time periods with completely different storyline. They all seem interesting. The secret of one's success over the other will lie on the how well the subject is treated and comes across interestingly enough to grab the audience.......

The grandeur and the authentic historical aspect of the Joseon era more specifically related to hanboks mixed with the fictional story to make it palatable to the masses is definitely very appealing.

Really missing ShinHye on the premiere pictures........but this girl cannot be magician and be everywhere at one time. She already has so much on her plate......just remarkable how she can do the juggling of her commitments so well.

In 'Tailors', hanbok takes center stage




Director Lee Won-seok's costume movie "The Tailors" takes viewers into the very core of sanguiwon, an atelier that dealt with the royal family's medicine and clothing during the Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910). Provided by the distributor

Beautifully crafted hanbok, or traditional Korean clothing, has appeared numerous times on screen, but no domestic film or drama has shed light on how royal garments were created in the past.



In the upcoming film "The Tailors", directed by Lee Won-seok, viewers are taken into the very core of sanguiwon, a palace atelier in the Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910) that dealt with the medicine and dress of aristocrats.
For the first time on the big screen, viewers will be able to peep at how royal attire was made in the atelier while also being privy to the power struggles happening within its walls.

Veteran actor Han Seok-Kyu plays Dol-suk, the head of sanguiwon, which is also the name of the film in Korean.

Dol-suk was born a commoner but is looking forward to upgrading his social status after serving the royal family for 30 years.
However, the hard-working artisan is soon threatened by free-spirited clothier Gong-jin, played by Ko Soo.

"The Tailors" is Ko's first foray into period dramas throughout his 15-year acting career.
In the movie, Gong-jin captivates the whole palace, including the king (Yoo Yeon-seok) and queen (Park Shin-hye), with his expertise at creating unconventional hanbok.
Even the slightest hint of the young designer's imagination can turn a plain-looking hanbok into a colorful, sometimes seductive, dress.

The hanbok that are used is one of the film's most powerful factors. The vivid and glittering embroidery of actress Park's hanbok captures attention on the screen, providing a number of breathtaking visuals to viewers.
More than 1,000 hanbok appear in "The Tailors". The movie's budget for clothing was almost 1 billion won ($909,000), a large portion of the 7.2 billion won production fee.


Acclaimed designer Cho Sang-kyung was in charge of the costumes for the movie. It is said that she was inspired by the Yeongjo period (1694-1776 ), where a short jeogori, the jacket that sits on top of the dress, and jar-shaped skirts started to become fashionable, according to historical records.

Park, who wears more than 30 hanbok in the movie, said that the filming was a pleasurable experience because of her fondness for hanbok.
"In a royal banquet scene, the queen wears a hanbok resembling a wedding dress that has an elegant and beautiful look", said Park during a press screening event on Wednesday.
It took 3,000 pearls and beads to craft the costume Park wore in the scene.

"The Tailors" is the actress's official debut in a period movie.

"I focused on trying to express the lonely queen who doesn't have any one to depend on in the palace", said Park regarding the several emotional scenes shown in the movie.
"As a part of trying to show the loneliness, I took away unnecessary facial expression in the tearful scenes. I heard some comments that overly frowning faces disturb viewers".

The movie rolls out in local theaters Dec. 24.

Park Shin Hye Was Delighted To Wear Dazzling Hanboks
By Julie Jones


The Royal Tailors" is not just a story about a fashion conscious queen and the rivalry between royal tailors. It has also been described as a historical fashion show and a fascinating look into the fine art of making traditional Korean clothing.

In the film Park Shin Hye and Yoo Yeon Suk play a fictional Joseon era queen and king. They wear the traditional Korean clothing known as hanbok, although in the film it occasionally features a slightly modern twist.

Although the hanbok is still worn in Korea today, especially for formal and semi-formal occasions, it usually refers to the clothing worn during the Joseon era. A beautiful hanbok was a sign of wealth and influence among the nobility.

Park Shin Hye was lucky enough to wear more than 30 hanbok in the film. As "The Royal Tailors" was her first historical film, she said she delighted in the chance to wear such beautiful costumes. She was especially fond of the glittering dress her character wore at one royal banquet scene. It took 3,000 pearls and beads to create the one-of-a-kind dress.

"In a royal banquet scene, the queen wears a hanbok resembling a wedding dress that has an elegant and beautiful look," said Park Shin Hye at a press conference for the film.
Altogether more than 1,000 hanbok were created for the film, pushing the clothing budget to almost $1 million, which was a significant portion of the production costs.

Designer Cho Sang Kyung was enlisted to create the film's costumes. She focused on the Yeongjo period when historical records say that short jackets first became fashionable.

In the film, the queen has two designers and it is the desire to create stunning clothing for her that sets off a disastrous rivalry. This rivalry echoes through the palace creating political conflicts.
Han Suk Kyu plays Jo Dol Suk, the royal master tailor, who heads the sanguiwon. That's the section of the palace that deals with royal garments and medicine. The film shows the details of how the costumes are created there.

Go Soo plays Lee Gong Jin, a gifted young designer, who is jealous of the royal tailor's power. So, Go Soo attracts notice by designing exquisite and unconventional clothes for the queen.
The clothes he creates impress the court and will likely impress viewers too.
