1. They were bendable.
2. You put it from Head to bottom, and it will fit when the tip reached shoulder
3. That armor was just an artefact of a real one--meaning, like clay horses to resemble real ones.

Wee, I'm reviving this thread...
Battle of Anshi Fortress
Picture of Anshi Fortress with Koguryo and Chinese armor. The Chinese
armor isn't from the Sui dynasty but rather from the Five Dynasties
period..so it's a bit innaccurate in that, but the Koguryoan armor is
well depicted.

The way the Corean army outfir is plated, seems a lot like the Qin or Han dynasty armor. If you have seen pictures of the Han dynasty jade barrial clothes, you'd know what I am talking about...
heck, let me google it...

agreed
because mail can't hold a specific shape like plate, there is a very limited design allowed

At least Metal mails are better than chain mails.
But most metal mail armors eventually moved to the fish scale design. I guess it provides better protection.

That depends. Seeing how archers in Britain used chain mail armor while infantry used metal mail, I presume chain mail has got a better chance of deflecting arrow wile metal mail has a better chance of absorbing blow.
btw, more pics of Korean troops:
A recreation of a Koryo dynasty JuHwa launcher. It's basically a mini cannon. It's innacurate, but it makes a loud thor with heavy smoke.
Cavarly version.

Yea I think that would be Koryo Period....Their armor is getting less protective but it hasn't degraded to the point that it did in the Josun period...so definitely Koryo.
