If blouses are your thing...
As the secretary to her boss of nine years, it’s understandable that Kim Mi So (Park Min Young) has found the perfect workwear equation. In every episode of What’s Wrong With Secretary Kim?, we see her clad in button-down blouses—often paired with an equally trusty knee-length pencil skirt. If you find yourself gravitating towards blouses, take a look at Mi So’s collection and learn a thing or two about wearing both pastels and bold colors, puff-sleeves and sharp silhouettes.

If you’re attached to your denim…
Despite living in a country with a hot and humid climate almost all year ‘round, Filipinos love their denim. If you can relate, you’ll want to pay extra attention to Kang Mi Rae (Im Soo Hyang) in My ID is Gangnam Beauty. Like most college students, Mi Rae is heavily dependent on her denims—but the best thing is that she doesn’t restrict her selection to only jeans. Skirts, dresses, denim tops—she’ll teach you a thing or two about thinking out of the box!

If you’ve got a soft spot for blazers…
Blazers aren’t just for the office anymore. When paired with jeans, they easily sharpen any casual outfit. When worn with a dress, they lend an edgy flair to the look. If you find that you’ve fallen for the appeal of blazers—whether slightly oversized or tailored to fit perfectly—have a good look at Touch Your Heart’s Oh Yoon Seo (Yoo In Na). She’s got a whole arsenal of them, in different fits, colors and prints!

For someone who has been dwelling on earth for the past 1,000 years, Jang Man Wol (IU) sure knows how to keep up with fashion. Cursed for a sin she can’t quite remember committing, Man Wol has kept her seat as the CEO of the ghost-infested Hotel del Luna—and she certainly dresses for the part. Her favorite outfits? Just a couple of episodes (or even a look through IU’s or her character’s Instagram accounts!) will tell you that it’s obviously her long, elegant dresses, always paired perfectly with a hat or a generous sprinkling of bejewlled accessories.
