  • Live Up to Your Name

    5. Live Up to Your Name

    Korean Drama - 2017, 16 episodes

    8.5

    It's also set in the present, but it has many parts in the past and a protagonist from that time, so I'll allow it.

    Korean Drama - 2009, 62 episodes

  • Kingdom Season 2

    7. Kingdom Season 2

    The second season was a lot better in my opinion.

    8.0
  • Secret Investigation Record

    9. Secret Investigation Record

    Korean Drama - 2010, 12 episodes

    8.0

    A little silly and scifi oriented, but it also has a good amount of historical drama in it.

  • Time Slip Dr. Jin

    10. Time Slip Dr. Jin

    Korean Drama - 2012, 22 episodes

    8.0

    Controversial, but I actually liked the character development of some of the minor characters.

  • Tree With Deep Roots

    15. Tree With Deep Roots

    Korean Drama - 2011, 24 episodes

    7.5

    Slow start, many unlikeable characters, but gets better toward the end.

  • Eight Days Mystery of Jeong Jo Assassination

    16. Eight Days Mystery of Jeong Jo Assassination

    Korean Drama - 2007, 10 episodes

    7.5

    Not a standout, but it was a decent drama and nothing I had seen before.

  • Kingdom

    17. Kingdom

    Korean Drama - 2019, 6 episodes

    8.0

    I watched it dubbed which might've ruined some of my enjoyment.  It's horror but it's also heavily influenced by historical dramas.

  • Warrior Baek Dong Soo

    18. Warrior Baek Dong Soo

    Korean Drama - 2011, 29 episodes

    7.5
  • Strongest Chil Woo

    19. Strongest Chil Woo

    Korean Drama - 2008, 20 episodes

    7.5

    Cringey as hell, but I think they meant it to be that way, judging by dialogue in later episodes.  Even then, it's a bit painful to watch at times.

  • Kim Soo Ro

    20. Kim Soo Ro

    Korean Drama - 2010, 32 episodes

    7.5

    Really uneven in terms of good and bad episodes and plot arcs, but overall I had a favorable impression.

  • The Iron Empress

    21. The Iron Empress

    Korean Drama - 2009, 78 episodes

    6.0
  • The Merchant: Gaekju 2015

    22. The Merchant: Gaekju 2015

    Korean Drama - 2015, 41 episodes

    4.0

    Absolute garbage.  I’m only giving it 4 stars because the first few episodes are ok and there are a few good performances.
