The general Kdrama thread

[Lt. Cheka Wey]

Is there anybody else here who likes watching Korean tv series?

What are your favorites?

There are a whole bunch of them aviable free and legal for anybody who is interested.

I've only seen City Hunter and Boys Over Flowers. Both were highly enjoyable.

I've seen more Korean films than tv, but I'd like to check out Iris and Athena at some point

 

[Halmirdax]

I've watched a lot of Korean tv series. It'd be hard to pick a favourite!

I watched Return of Iljimae and Timbetween Dog and Wolf. Both had their issues but i enjoyed them overall.

I've seen some Korean movies, but I don't think I've watched any TV shows. Closest I'd come is a couple Chinese TV series, Condor Hero and Eagle Shooting Heroes which were some pretty entertaining wuxia martial-arts shows and some Japanese ones like Great Teacher Onizuka, which is comedy/drama about a former biker gang leader that decided to become a teacher and is given the problem class.

Which versions?

I love Korean HISTORICAL dramas...but it's been a while since I've seen one (the local Korean station stopped airing those, so it's hard to connect with fans on a real time basis).

My favorites include:

• Jewel In the Palace (Great JangGeum)
• Emperor Wang Guhn
• Immortal Yi Soon shin
• Age of Warriors

i've only seen City Hunter, which i really enjoyed.

MBC has a bunch of those free on youtube.

What do you mean real time basis?

Also are these dramas subsidised by the government?
I HAD NOT FOUND ONE THAT ENDED EARLY.

I'm usually more of a J-Drama fan, but Great Inheritance has become one of my favorites nonetheless.

Also are most saeguks giving a romanticized version of history?
