Great fashion has to start somewhere. And for aspiring designer Kang Young Gul (Yoo Ah In), that somewhere is in a humble stall at the Dongdaemun Market, a crowded fashion district in Seoul known for its cheap clothing and wannabe designers. Young Gul is a little timid about pursuing his dreams to become a famous designer, until he meets Lee Ga Young (Shin Se Kyung), a confident young woman who shares his aspirations. Anna Choi (Yuri of the K-pop group Girls’ Generation), a brassy woman who will let nothing stand in the way of what she wants, and privileged hunk Jung Jae Hyuk (Lee Jae Hoon) create a double love triangle. Can Young Gul and Ga Young start from nothing and find success in the dog-eat-dog world of the fashion industry? “Fashion King” is a 2012 South Korean drama series by director Lee Myung Woo, who also directed “Princess Ja Myung” (2009) and “Bad Couple” (2007).
