Every Sageuk I 've Watched - Ranked
A mix between personal preference and quality of show :) - That's why I rank Alchemy of Souls is #1 but consider Under The Queen's Umbrella the best in terms of quality!
Only shows with at least 90% sageuk elements (ex: Mr Queen, but not Moon in the Day which is conisdered 50% sageuk for me).
