What Are Your Favourite Korean Dramas From The Japanese Colonial Rule?

Personally, I think ‘Hymn Of Death’ and ‘Mr. Sunshine’ top my list. I love the tragic endings, and how beautifully the characters’ stories are written and woven into the period, into a cinematic work of art, and, in the case of the former, ‘Hymn Of Death,’ the real characters’ stories were beautifully yet tragically portrayed. Honestly, both break my heart but I love them both. What are yours?

I wholeheartedly agree! Also, on a different note, I wish people would appreciate those who really lived in that era, their sufferings, their bravery to overcome obstacles, and how hard they worked to get where they reached eventually - I wish people would’ve appreciate it. For examaple, there is a South Korean actress who acted up to 1991, born during the colonial period, with one of her best works - in my opinion - being ‘Legend Of Lady Heo,’ yet unfortunately, there are no comments, or even followers, for this great lady who passed away in 2014. It’s a pity, really.

I absolutely adore those three, especially ‘Hymn Of Death!’ You should also watch ‘Mr. Sunshine’ and - as the user above mentioned - ‘Assassination.’ I wish they were a bit more historically accurate though, really.

Definitely Chicago Typewriter! :)

Since you mentioned Hymn of Death I won't repeat that, so here it is.

 Seruhio:

Tale of the Nine-Tailed 1938 is the second season of Tale of the Nine-Tailed and happens during the Japanese Ocupation, but it's not so strong as Gyeongseong Creature and is more fictional without historical figures

My main issue though, is that a lot of dramas set in this period are not historically accurate. Apart from that, I do enjoy both ‘The Tale Of The Nine Tailed: 1938’ and ‘Gyeongseong Creature.’
