Valentine’s Day Tribute: A Look at the Couple’s Outfits in Playful Kiss

I know V-day hasn’t arrived yet, but happy things can be shared early, no? Last night I went to sleep with a mile-wide grin on my face. Why? Because I am finally re-watching Playful Kiss for the first time since it concluded (and since I wrote my final recap for episode 7 of the Youtube edition). In the intervening months, I’ve watch many more dramas, and left PK in a safe warm place in my heart. To be honest, I was worried that re-watching it would make me lose some of my love for it.

I was thrilled to discover that, quite the contrary, I am loving every minute of my re-watch so far. It took just one conversation between cold, mean, and arrogant Baek Seung Jo, and heart-on-her-sleeve, underachieving Oh Ha Ni, for me to rekindle my burning love for this couple. With that in mind, bringing a picture retrospective of all the couple’s outfits that our darling kids wore throughout the drama and the YT episodes. The wardrobe coordinator really deserves a big hug and some high fives.

What I love about their couple’s outfits is that (1) its always age-appropriate, (2) some are identical and other are complementary, and (3) both Jung So Min and Kim Hyun Joong individually look wonderful wearing it, and even more so when standing next to each other. Oh gosh, I miss these two cutie pies so much! Starting with them wearing their casual school uniforms above, let’s go on a trip down memory lane with Seung Jo and Ha Ni!

Pretty in pale forest garb.

Complementary in pink and grey.

Graduation-ready in matching mustard school jackets.

Rocking the same pale peach.

His and hers black, white (and pink) tennis outfits.

The legendary couple’s tees.

Back hugs in hospitals look the best when you wear coordinating camel and cream colored outfits.

Having fun in light blues and greys.

You wear plaid, I wear plaid.

Nothing says breakfast after a chaste night in bed like dark and light blue pajama tops.

Mutual comfort in cream and whites.

Rocking the same shade of dark jacket, accessorized with either red or white.

Camel and navy nautical-inspired coats for a rain-kissed night.

Hugging in blue sweaters is the best way to hug.

A stroll in the park in matching navy peacoats.

The Mamma-Baek hand-selected honeymoon couple’s outfits.

A crisp, clean, preppy look.

Couple PJs for the wedding night.

Identical PJs for mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.

Complementary camel and navy coats for a date in a Mini Cooper.

Let’s go all-black for our Youtube version press conference.

Wearing a couple’s outfit just to make the wifey happy is the best husband in the world.

Gotta wear white cotton tees when wifey wants to poke you with a needle.

Blue and white tops are the perfect thing to wear when dealing with a fake pregnancy.

All black outfits match the mood for dealing with an unwanted chick in your room.

Who knew a nurse and a patient’s outfit could lead to major kissage.

Teaching the wife to drive requires coordinating the outfits.

Dark camel and light beige blend together, to celebrate a birthday, and herald many more birthdays to come.

To Seung Jo and Ha Ni – thank you for sharing such a delightful love story with us. Re-watching PK just reminded me how hard it is to let you two go. Wishing a Happy Valentine’s Day for a drama couple that felt as real as anything I’ve ever seen onscreen.

      • Happy Vday, flowergurl!!

        I am oddly looking forward to this Vday, even though I'm single. I think it's Kdrama magic like this couple!

      • It's good to see some ol' PKissers here. :D

        You know, PK's just magical. Despite all it's little faults, I have nothing but love for this drama. That's a first for me. I probably won't be rewatching this anytime soon, but I definitely will someday. After I'm done cleaning out everything on my to-watch list!

      • Annyeong everybody!!~!

        aaah it is nice to see some "old" fellow PKissers!!!
        but i was happily surprised by "other" PKissers i haven't encountered here before... PK is still doing fine ^^ YAY to that xD

      • weeeeeeeeeeeeeee happy valentines to you... i missed PK too.. and love and love the way you observed their outfits.. ^_^ happy hearts day... ^_^

  • Huh. I never noticed just how far the wardrobe coordinator went with the matching or complimentary outfits (must be cos I marathoned the drama?). I mean, I did notice how good they looked and I did notice a few matching outfits, but wow, you pointed a few scenes I missed.

    Loved seeing the screencaps, thank you!

    • How've you been, sweetie! Did you watch the YT episodes as well? It was so much fun to watch PK live, because the drama remained pretty much consistent in quality throughout, though the story felt a little rushed at the end, but otherwise no insane second half.

      • Yeah, I watched the whole thing in a few days! ^^ I did like it though of course it didn't reach m3 madness for me.

        I've been so-so. Had a couple of rough days, but I'm better now. You?

  • I just rewatched recently, I think it holds up because they are just so adorbs together! And all his antics are soooo much more enjoyable knowing the epic cuteness that are the YT eps.

    love my baby girl and her robot!

    (also love the missing parents-object/class difference nonsense every other drama I've watched so far has)

  • WOW... They looked so good together!!! lob lob lob the matching clothes :)
    Wish I had a wardrobe coordinator too like theirs... sob sob
