Ooooooh! It glitters!* Dibs on Hong Ye's demon king hanfu + H... Well, a _manequin_ shaped like Hou Minghao. I for sure can't carry that outfit and give it justice. But I am a big sucker for glitter so using it as decoration in my vast and completely fictional living room would do.

Production: You're not allowed more time at the embroidery machine! We're still paying off Bingzhu's uniform.

Clothes Designer: But... this is the protagonist!

P: You should have thought about that before you gave Bingzhu a full body sleeve _and a derpy dragon!_

CD: I told you it was a mistake! And you never allowed...

P *on their way out*: Can't heeear you!

*door slams*

CD: hrmpf! Guess I have to work some magic with what I have

A handy little chart for this drama:

_Good_ demon king - bath robes

_Evil_ demon king - stiff costume shoulders that out-shoulderpads the 80s.

Here you can see the difference between an officer and a regular in the Feiyu guard. The regulars' hats have a 'wreath' of vines, whereas the offers' are printed in full - and have a large, black pearl. Ie; the tiger face I talked about earlier is a mark of rank. When you see the top of the hat the tiger disolves into a mass of vines. I still think the illusion is intentional, mostly because the back flap is double tipped, vaguely resembling ears.

Also, it kinda'bums me that I didn't catch that Bingzhu has a tiger head printed on his cap until ep 16. It makes sense for The Demon Hunter. Normally it's a thing for children; cute tiger hats and tiger shoes are put on toddlers to protect them from evil forces. This is a grown up version, and should probably be filed under armour pieces together with his shoulder pads.

Design team leader: Why does it look like you sneezed when you drew the belt details?

Costume designer: Ah hab no idea wha' youh tahkin abbo' *sniffles*

I was about to say that Hong Ye is wearing standard evil attire, but that belt embroidery is actually what picks it up a notch. The detail adds a lot to the context of the scene.

Also: bless you!

Do you remember that I said that this drama at least has Neo Hou in a bathrobe? What I didn't anticipate is that almost all his costumes look that. My hypothesis is that it's to make him look more fluffy and huggable. He's usually pretty shredded (though it's hard to tell here) and while that looks nice it doesn't neccessarily looks cosy.
