In one of the scenes:
They call it āTaboo ropeā or geumjul:
http://folkency.nfm.go.kr/en/topic/detail/1824
"Left-hand lay rope is not a regular type of rope and is not used in venues for everyday routines. This practice is related to the belief that evil spirits that possess yin elements fear the left, which is of yang elements.
The straws used to make the rope are stalks that bear rice grains and this symbolizes strength. White ritual paper is the symbol for money and reflects a prayer for material fortune, and its color contributes to the function of clearly marking forbidden territory.
Pine branches are evergreen, representing unchanging energy, and the sharp pine needles symbolize sorcery powers for driving away evil forces. Red peppers symbolize the phallus, and red is a yang color that is most feared by evil spirits. Charcoal is black, a yin color, and its purifying capacities are believed to prevent evil forces by absorbing them."
Boys: pine, charcoal and red peppers
Girls: pine, charcoal and folded paper

Anyone has an explanation on the hats?
What is the name of each hat?
On this website, they call it āgatā for one. So many types!
http://www.korea.net/NewsFocus/Culture/view?articleId=117428
If you want to know about Joseon era hats and generally headgear, you should be prepared for a long study.
I have spent hours on it, compiled a document for my personal use etc.
Hereās a good website, where youāll find more than you probably want to know about the matter (for males youāll have to scroll down although I doubt you will).
This is also not bad, but I always prefer the Talking Cupboard, it has way more information, and its examples are mostly from dramas!

Thank you, Irmar!
Iām interested in headgear! Exactly! (The history and evolution!)
I have a question: Is it always in a mourning situation that they wore white hats or it could be in another situation?
" Baekrip (ė°±ė¦½) , any hat that is white in color, worn during the period of mourning."
Iāve discovered āKorean national treasuresā = Intangible Cultural Properties.
Itās a list of 121 items (with gatiljang = making gat!)
I also have another question for brackets.
Irmar, thereās one sad and small thing about the article on the Talking Cupboard. Some terms are explained some terms later, so got to scroll down or read without understanding some terms xd
Like jeokui, what is it? 
Is it the costume?
Thanks to pics, itās already better to see what it is and be able to recognize!!
I still wonder how women could wear them, it must have been hella heavy! Did they have migraines or hair falling problems?
Myeonbok (Hangul: ė©“ė³µ) were the kingās religious and formal ceremonial robes while Jeokui were the queenās equivalent during the Goryeo and Joseon dynasties.
Jeokui or Tseogwi (Hangul: ģ ģ) was arranged through the use of different colors as a status symbol within the royal family.[60] The empress wore purple-red colored Jeokui, the queen wore pink, and the crown princess wore deep blue.[60] āJeokā means pheasant, and so Jeokui often had depictions of pheasants embroidered onto it.

Thank you, Irmar!!!
I was about to ask what the difference is between hanbok and myeonbok / jeokui until I searched for hanbok andā¦ theyāre all part of hanbok, itās just there are many types:
The golden patterns seem like goldleaf?
Here it says geumbak is a decoration technique for hanbok and an Intangible Cultural Property since 2006.
Itās quite incredible that gold leaf was already used during the European Bronze Age (3200 BC - 600 BC)!
