Historical Dramas Club

 CDramaLove:

Can anyone recommend a Japanese Historical drama? Seems like a draught out here with not much Chinese & Korean dramas to watch :-)

I would recommend Kirin ga Kuru and Hotarugusa.

That's quite surprising and funny that you're saying  that there aren't  much Chinese historical dramas this year compared to last year. 17 in less than 3 months it's huge from my "almost only watching sageuk" point of view (and 36 last year is just insane !). ^^

Me I'm just waiting for new sageuk, wishing that it will not be a rom/com, which should be the case thankfully for Bloody Heart.

I’ve officially found my people! Just paid for VIP access and found this amazing club in the forum section. I have a lot to read back on! 

 awkward potato:

Japanese historical dramas (taiga) are usually shown yearly on NHK. You can take a look here. I don't usually watch taiga, but I can recommend Japanese historical movies instead. 

• Rurouni Kenshin
• Ooku
• Rashomon (classic)
• Neko Zamurai (I did find a drama which you might like to try)

My personal fave is definitely Rurouni Kenshin (the whole series) coz I’m a fan, but if you throw me anything regarding the shogunate era/Shinsengumi, I’ll give it a try coz I’m fond of the historical figures duringthat time period.

Thank you so much! Love this group.

Thanks so much! I feel like a drought because, firstly I am watching Royal Feast and that’s nearly finishing also episodes were not daily. Like Royal Feast, Blue Whisper has bad subs. So just thought I would try something new. 🙂 Secondly, I only discovered my love for C Dramas during Covid and so had a lot of older dramas to watch. Now that I have caught up watching new releases takes an adjustment. 

I made a badge ^^

Somehow it only recently clicked for me that Historical Dramas are truly my favorite. I never thought about it too much previously lol but I'm excited to join the club and go through all the recs and discussions :)

I wanna join ^^ 

Classes are currently kicking my ass so I haven't had much time to watch anything new or discuss dramas.  But I've continued watching General & I, I'm on episode 25. I feel like it's getting better from what I initially thought about it hopefully it'll stay that way lol. 

Hopefully everyone's having a great day~
