2026 The production design for the show is, across the board, excellent “The costumes are mostly made from shades of browns and grays, formal without being overly dressy; although Bax’s colorful personality earns him a slightly more dynamic outfit with a patterned shirt, he too dresses with a monochromatic scheme.
Jae hee kim’s costume design enhances this sense that we’re all inside a universe where individual expression has become rarer.”
