After the successful run of its first season, Love ft. Marriage and Divorce is set to end its second season this coming Friday.
Classified as a makjang drama—one that has an extreme, unrealistic, abnormal, or ridiculous plot—it follows the story of three successful women in their 30s, 40s, and 50s who work on a radio show. Their seemingly happy marriages begin to be plagued by twists, turns, and troubles.
But with characters in different stages of life comes a wardrobe that befits their age, career, and lifestyle.
Here’s how the characters have dressed up so far throughout the series, a lesson on style for every age.
Elegant but youthful
Women in their 30s tend to have more refined clothing choices compared to when they were in their 20s, but they remain interested with playful patterns and silhouettes. The same is true for Boo Hye-ryung (Lee Ga Ryung), a headstrong broadcaster-turned-radio DJ, married to a hotshot lawyer Pan Sa Hyun (Sung Hoon).

Stick to the classics
A 40-something classy radio show producer, Sa Pi Young (Park Joo Mi) often decides what’s best for the team. Style-wise, she also knows exactly what works for her–the ever-reliable classic staples.
She turns to trusted luxury brands for her wardrobe.

Be unafraid
While Lee Si Eun (Jeon Soo Kyeong) is central to the storyline as the radio show’s writer, it is her husband, Park Hae Ryun (Jeon No Min) and Shin Yu Shin’s (Kim Tae Gon) stepmother, Kim Dong Min (Kim Bo Yeon) that truly shows how people aged 50 and up can be stylish.
Both are unafraid to experiment with patterns and colors, as seen in a number of scenes. Hae Ryun, for instance, often wears plaid jackets, even for his casual, everyday looks.
Yu Shin, meanwhile, dresses well as a professor by opting for a striped navy coat over a black turtleneck. In this outfit, he visits Dong Min, who wears a colorful chiffon dress with unique neckline details at home.
It’s currently unknown whether a third season is in the works, but avid viewers of the show are already anticipating the conclusion of what has been a dramatic follow-up season so far.
Love ft. Marriage and Divorce is available for streaming on Netflix Philippines.
