Historical Dramas Club

 kYuBin:

Welcome~! ^^ An yes, hall of fame for movies will come too after we finish the ones from dramas.

Thanks, KyuBin :)     

I heart the HDC community

 Shenmi:

So if I understand it correctly Period dramas are kinda fictional and the Historical dramas are based on truth of sorts and it doesn't matter the era the drama is set in? 

YEP:  A Period Drama (sometimes called a Costume Drama) may have the costumes, sets, etc. of a particular period, but not historical reference to a person or event. 

??

Do not belong on the Period list:

Rookie Historian, Iljimae, Jewel in the Palace, The Tale of Nokdu (Some of these are highly fictionalized, but there are real historical figures/backdrops, and to my understanding, historical accuracy is not a precondition for being on the Historical list.)

______

Do not belong on the Historical list:

The King's Affection, Love in the Moonlight (Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe neither of these dramas are set against any real historical backdrop.)

The Rise of Phoenixes (not set in a real dynasty), Love and Redemption (xianxia)

Dramas I'm not sure about (either I haven't watched them or don't remember well enough, if other people would weigh in on these, that would be great): The Story of Ming Lan, The Longest Day in Chang'an, Arsenal Military Academy, Story of Yanxi Palace, Queen: Love And War, The Princess Wei Young, The Romance of Tiger and Rose, Rookie Agent Rouge, My Roommate Is a Detective, Sparrow, Goodbye My Princess, 100 Days My Prince, Splash Splash LOVE, Killer And Healer, Fall In Love, The Disguiser, any of the Japanese or Thai ones

The Longest Day in Chang'An is based on real life people and true events. Here's a thread on the history behind the drama:

Thanks for letting me know.   Like I told Shenmi,  I'll research the titles and make the changes as necessary.  Round #2 won't be this bad because the lists will be final for that round.  

 Apparently I have no life, so I have time to do that! hahahah

I wish the Featured Voting List would rotate between a few different lists so more people would be able to vote

This list has been up and open for additions for about 2 weeks.  Everyone could add to make the list large, but because the close date is Jun 2, and because I was having to do so much corrections, I closed the additions function. 

Also, this is a first attempt at a HDC Hall of Fame, and I hope it won't be the last :)

I believe in Splash Splash Love the King was Sejong, (born 1397—died 1450), Who created the Korean alphabet Hangul? Though the rest of the story was pure fiction, I believe it was also adapted from the same Book they used for Love In The Moonlight.
