This list is based on the Wikipedia pages of all the kings. Please share things that can be added or need correction in the comments! 

If you know a drama/movie set in a certain time period during the Joseon Dynasty or mentions a certain Joseon king, please tell me and I'll add it with a note. :)

When there are multiple kings in the note of a drama, please share with me which one of them is the main character, I'll put that king in bold.
