I'm Korean myself, and I have never seen such a marvelous, graceful, and dignified han-bok at the ending anywhere including movies or pictures. When Concubine Soui enters with her beautiful clothes, I could never think of fancier clothes than that. However, when the Queen enters the scene, it just hit me in the back. Rather thank adding more colors, jewels, or glitters, she wears white, the color that represents her so well. It was always concubine who wants to compete with the Queen, and the Queen rises above. The costume appropriately represents all characters' personality and desires. Each garment at every single scene of any character is a work of art.

All of the leads are wonderful actors beloved in South Korea and with a strong supporting cast. The costumes, of course, are breathtaking and become more so with each of Kong-Jin's creations born of dreams and gentle love, especially for the queen. But for a bit of slow pacing and some continuity breaks, the film is perfect. It is also wrenching and heartbreaking as it moves from a story about making beautiful clothes to a parable of jealousy and karma. Strongly recommended.

I have never seen any korean historical (fictional) movie. So,I really didn't have high expectations but it was good.besides,how it ends was really sad:)
