articulated gauntlets have been a thing since before there WERE Tolkien movies. I can see from the selected pics were OP is coming from (the striated bark-like bodice design on the one guy, seen that in lots of video games lately) but nah, at this point this is a design style that has entered the costume-design zeitgeist. enjoy, OP, about the only thing I can take in cdrama is the costume porn - not enough to sit through a full series, but it sure do make good eye candy.

Commenting to agree about the aesthetic not being plagiarized. Film costumers are constantly making off with shiny stylish things from various subcultures - I met Goths wearing "finger armor" that would have been more accurately described as talon/glove hybrids, first homebrew and then small-shop and eventually available in mall stores, long before that ended up on screen.

And I tend to be more annoyed when costume design doesn't make the most of being able to show things that are a long ways from boring business-wear than I am with niche things. Although it's kind of annoying when people associating a particular look with a particular movie assume the people paid to make it had the time or the creativity to invent wholly novel ways to dress and adorn human bodies, and therefore somehow own the thing. Because usually? That's not the case at all.
