To express the unique moment of the Korean royal family seeking refuge at the Russian legation, "Gabi" underwent extensive historical research during production. The characters of the time were revived by referencing portraits from the "New Art Times" as well as pictures from landscape paintings and several books.

Kim So-yeon, who wears more costumes than anyone else in the movie, attempts several transformations. The skirt and blouse that she wears when she is serving the king his coffee is Russian and emphasizes her figure. The costume she wears when she is secretly meeting with Illich (Joo Jin-mo) highlights her femininity.

Other than that, Joo Jin-mo's Japanese military uniform showed off his charisma and Yoo Sun's Japanese attire focused on her appeal as the mean character in the movie.

"Gabi" is about the plots and secrets surrounding the king of Korea and his newfound passion for coffee. It will be released on the 15th of March.
