Only a handful of historical kdramas have been released this year, and only two of them (IMO) are worth watching.

What is happening? Was the palace closed for filming? :)

Oh wow, that isn't very many you're right.

Plus side, the ones we're getting seem very promising? I loved Uncle Samsik (not for everyone but I enjoyed it a lot) and I've been looking forward to both Won Gyeong and Queen Woo for around a year now.

(Also Pachinko but I need to check out the first season too).

It is curious why there are so few - I love a good sageuk.

I can't agree more!

Love Song for Illusion - one of the worst Kdrama this year to me.
Captivating the King - the first half was truly captivating, but the rest was just downhill, SSK's acting still bland throughout the years!

Knight Flower - I have high hopes for this, can't wait to enjoy it after I have enough time to binge-watch.
