Carnival is coming, and you really want to cosplay without forgetting your greatest passion: Korean dramas. Nothing simpler! Here are some tips to better interpret the characters of your favorite drama:

Black Clothes + Black Cap

= The Killer/Sniper

If you want you can also add a rucksack, strictly black, obviously. Anyone who watches dramas will recognize you and will stay away from you. Now, just try not to look anybody in the eyes…

= The Poor Mother

Instead of the vest you can also wear a light jacket. Match different colors to help you get into character, but above all, remember to speak at an extremely loud volume, and you will be a perfect protagonist’s poor mother!

Lollipop + Bold Walk

= Gangster/Bad boy

(not bad meanin’ bad, but bad meanin’ good, you know...)

That’s right, you don’t need anything else to turn yourself into your favorite protagonist! If you prefer, you can replace the lollipop with chewing gum: the effect will be the same. There are no particular indications for clothing, it’s just a matter of attitude.
