As a popular choice for Halloween, becoming a vampire only requires a pair of fangs and fake blood. You can take inspiration from the vampires in the HeartBeat series who live in different time periods. Whether it's being a modern vampire, a Joseon vampire, or an early 19th-century vampire, these vampire accessories will look suitable for any era! You can also choose a traditional concept by wearing a high collar or a cloak. 

2. Nine-Tailed Fox (Gumiho)

The nine-tailed fox (gumiho) is a mythical creature with magical powers, like the enchanting figure found in the Korean drama Tale of the Nine Tailed 1938. You can become the Lee Dong-wook version of a gumiho by wearing some accessories, such as a sword or a rifle. Another option is the half-gumiho character with the ability to control an axe, played by Kim Bum. If you want to clearly look like a gumiho, use nine-tailed fox accessories.

3. Gaetal (Dog Mask)

Masks are a popular choice for Halloween, and you can look mysterious by wearing Gaetal (dog mask) from the series The Killing Vote. Wearing a suit, gloves, and the distinctive mask, Gaetal is a mysterious character who executes criminals who do not receive proper punishment. This mask can be easily made by creating circles for the eyes and nose, a triangle shape for the mouth, and adding long drooping ears to the side of the mask. This costume will definitely make people curious.

4. Priest

Another classic costume choice is a priest. In addition to the standard black priest attire, you can bring props such as a holy book or a cross to complete the costume. In the drama series 'Island', Cha Eun-woo portrays a priest with a quite modern costume, including wearing headphones. You can also do makeup to make it look like you've just finished a battle. 

5. Restaurant Employee

Although not a Korean drama, the Korean variety show 'Jinny's Kitchen' can be an interesting source of inspiration, by dressing up as a restaurant employee. You can wear a white, gray, or dark blue t-shirt, and add some other accessories such as an apron, transparent chef mask, gloves, hat or headband, and bring Korean snacks like corn dogs. Make the costume cuter by adding decorations to your transparent chef mask, like what Jung Yu-mi did. If you have some friends who are interested, create your own crew like the employees in 'Jinny's Kitchen'!

Which costume catches your attention the most? Regardless of whether you want to wear a costume or not, this is the perfect time to watch the characters and shows mentioned above for the first, second, or nth time. Enjoy them all on Prime Video and happy Halloween!
