Another look at Style promo photos
by javabeans
This batch is better than the last group of promotional stills from Style with their ugly blue backdrop (which I do know will probably be used to swap in some cutesy background images later — but my question is, why didn’t they bother to do that first before officially releasing them, then?).
The photos were taken during the drama’s promo and poster shoot on July 6 at SBS’s Ilsan production center set location. I’m still not quite sold on the characters’ wardrobes (Ryu’s in particular), but at least in terms of styling the ladies are looking glam, in particular the sultry Kim Hye-soo.
Featured are lead actors Kim Hye-soo (Tazza), Lee Jia (Beethoven Virus), Ryu Shi-won (Wedding), and model-turned-actor Lee Yong-woo.

Kim Hye Soo owns all of them..
The others just don't look all glammed enough for the title..

Once again, Kim Hye-Soo looks amazing (as always). The other two guys are okay.... but there is something wrong with Lee Jia.
It's most likely the fact that in each picture of Lee Jia, it's unfortunate she had to be next to Kim Hye Soo. Dont misunderstand me, I like Lee Jia.
In the top picture, both are "posing" with their hands on their hips, but the poise that Kim Hye Soo has compared to Lee Jia is so different.

I'll probably pass on this as it doesn't appeal much to me except for the photographer who reminds me of Joo Jin Mo.

None of the characters are doing it for me. Maybe it's just the pictures, but they all look like they're straining their necks way too much. It doesn't say: "I am stylish without trying." It says: "I don't want to look like I've got double chins so I'll just break my neck to bend my head back".
And what is with Lee Jia's shoes in the first picture??? ><

Just by the outfits the actresses are wearing would keep me from watching this drama. I guess I'm way out of style because their outfits are not good looking nor appealing to me. Since this is a fashion drama, shouldn't the fashions be chic and have some good taste? I can't imagine anyone wearing these fashions except for movie stars. Let me know if I'm way off base.

EW. Those shoes Lee Jia. Gross. I know they made you wear them, but still.
The more I hear about this, the less interested I am in it. I was looking forward to Magazine Allo, but oh well...

I think Li Jia's Chuck Taylor/Bondage heels are better worn with balloon shorts. Her purple dress, with strappy heels.
Kim Hye Soo's black satin dress should have been paired with sparkly strappy heels or pumps.
As for the men, they just can't pull the whole look off. And Lee Yong Woo's beige jacket isn't tailored fit.

This doesn't look that stylish, or even trendy for that matter (well except maybe Lee Jia's shoes in the pic of her sitting on the desk).

wow lady KHS's presence is intimidating. I feel for LJ has to be next to her in that pic.
Is she part of the drama or just a cameo. I would love to see her in a drama. It's been so long. Sighssss

As always ... Kim Hye Soo looks fab (and sexy). One of my fave actresses. She's got attitude and presence.
Ryu Shi Won ... my intial thoughts back then were - the dude shouldn't even be in this ...
And now, looking at the pictures - it's just been confirmed (for me anyways).
The other guy who looks like (yes) Joo Ji Mo fares better, but Lee Jia looks ... plain and kinda ordinary.

Hmm... I don't know. They seem to be trying hard to look stylish, instead of just exuding confidence regardless of the outfit. The guys look too put together. I dunno... their photos don't give me the same "wow, chic," reaction when I see maagazine editors at events or even people who run style or fashion blogs.

--> same here ! that's what i thought when i saw the picture in which he has a photographer in his hands
and i really dislike Lee Jia's shoes... the ones she wears with her purple dress (which i like though... )
i have so many dramas to catch, that i will wait to see this one, but it will have to be good...

I wonder if they purposely told Lee Jia to hold back. She could have given more daring poses. I love Kim Hye Soo, she's still gorgeous, maybe she was intimidating to her younger counterpart.

may i rant for 10 sec on those pics?
why do they have to use a white, plain background now?????
and dull looking table piled with soon to be recycled mags????
and those guys....one looks like a paparazzi who just woke up, the other...probably got stranded in the airport for 24hours??? or one's a gigolo, the other the pimp?
and why do they have to obviously posed around and looked at the camera....and they could have made it look like high-end shots..(e.g.: ANTM's photoshoots), it doesnt cost much either....
where's the style, ingenuity?
*huffing and puffing...was that 10 sec?!*
may i rave now....^-^
kimhyesoo pops out among them...from her pics...i can tell she will be the "devil"
ok...me-back to work...thanks JavaB!

I don't know, I like Kim Hye Soo in some of the pics but in others, she looks, er, manly? But I totally love her outfits.
As for Lee Jia, I like how she lost some weight and even love the dresses she's wearing but the hybrid shoes she's wearing with the purple are ghastly.
The male stars are still blah.

^ Agreed. What the frick is this wardrobe mess?? The unfixed hem of Lee Jia's purple dress is still present - it's like whoever made the dress didn't even have time to fix the hem before it was rushed for this, er, bad shoot.
The girls are a little forgiveable [but not quite], but seriously, what the hell are the guys wearing? What Ryu Siwon is wearing is hideous - and in this type of weather, does he plan on getting a heat stroke? What's with the excessive amount of layering - layering is alright, but to that extent? And the bad colors and everything. What is with the photographer, too? That shirt just looks so horribly bad on him.
Only Kim Hyesoo is forgiveable.
I can't say there's much hope for a FASHION-ORIENTED drama that can't even proper style its character for a flimsy promo photoshoot.

If pushing up your jacket sleeves while leaving your shirt sleeves down becomes a trend, I'm going to kick somebody or at the very least make ugly faces at them.
These horrible clothes are making me want to watch this drama just so I can yell at it and make rude comments.
I'm missing Magazine Allo for this?! Really?

*snort* I thought this was a fashion based drama...so what's up with the clothes? Eh, I'm not sold on the idea at all plus I'm not a fan of Lee Jia. Beethoven Virus was good drama but she irritated the hell out of me for some reason -_-...maybe because she reminds me of Yoona who I also can't stand lol

outfits are still not appealing. thought that since it is a fashion drama that the clothes will be even better than the clothes worn in other dramas. the style here makes it feel a bit like a daily drama. the poses look awkward too. Kim Hye-soo is the only person here who can pose.

@Sada, i think you are right, because per Lee Jia's profile she was a model before her first role in Legend. But her posed doesn't suggest it. Maybe she's into her character her. Besides her shoes are nice but doesn't match her dress at all.
I think they should pose some Lee Jia's picture just for comparison. Maybe her role here will be the ugly duckling turn into swan just like the assistant in The Devil wears Prada.
