What Korean historical dramas are there?

1. "Dae Jang Geum"

A pinnacle of Korean costume dramas in recent years. Judging from its popularity in East Asian countries, it is indeed very good. I think many people have probably seen it. The characterization of this drama as a youth inspirational drama is accurate. Background

In the Zhongzong era at the beginning of the 16th century, the deeds of Xu Janggeum, an ordinary palace maid, promoted a positive and hard-working spirit that was accepted by everyone. In addition, the food and Chinese medicine in the drama (I don’t agree with Korean medicine) contain beautiful Korean culture, and we can also see the shadow of Chinese culture in it. Although I didn't watch "Dae Jang Geum" in its entirety, I think the film is worth watching and has a lot to learn from.

2. "Business Road"

The historical background of this film is in the era of Jeongjo and Sunjo at the end of the 18th century and the beginning of the 19th century. It was also the time when North Korea's political structure shifted from crony politics to The political transition period of Shidao. A businessman named Lin Sangwo dealt with North Korea and China

and through his own efforts became one of the most outstanding businessmen in modern East Asia. Like Dae Jang Geum, examples of small people struggling and succeeding in a big context have a positive side. However, the film vilified many Chinese businessmen and described them as profiteers. However, if these flaws are removed, the film is still worth watching.

3. "The Way of Medicine"

The historical background is the era of Gwanghaejun in the early seventeenth century. At that time, North Korea had just experienced a war with Japan and faced tremendous military pressure from the Jurchens in the north. Xu Jun, a civilian doctor, saved many Korean people with his superb medical skills and his spirit of saving lives and healing the wounded, and was praised by everyone. It is essentially the same genre as "Dae Jang Geum" and "Shangdao" and is worth appreciating.

4. "Empress Myeongseong"

The background is in the Gojong era in the second half of the 19th century, when Korea was in a period of aggression by Western powers and Japan. Although the first half of the film depicts the horrific and cruel political struggle between the four political groups of Andong Kim, Pongyang Cho, Daewonjun and Yeohung Min, the second half focuses on It shows the actions of the two protagonists, Empress Myeongseong and Lord Daewon, in defending national sovereignty from interference by the Qing Dynasty and Japan, so it can be regarded as a patriotic educational film.

As for the plot in the film that vilifies Yuan Shikai, a famous figure in Chinese history, I personally think this is not vilification. Yuan Shikai is that kind of person.

5. "The Immortal Yi Sun-shin"

It was just broadcast in South Korea a few months ago and has not been introduced to mainland China and Taiwan, so I watched the original Korean version . The historical background is in the Seonjo era at the end of the 16th century. It depicts the famous Korean general Yi Sunshin leading the people to resist Japan and save the country. Like "Empress Myeongseong", the first half of the film depicts the political struggle between the Eastern Party and the Western Party and the Northern Party and the Southern Party, but the second half focuses on the war between North Korea, Ming and Japan. Among them,

are excellent works that promote the spirit of patriotism. The film uses many technological special effects and shows a magnificent naval battle scene. It can be said that it is the TV series with the best war scenes in Korean history. However, in order to highlight the bravery of Yi Sun-shin and the Korean navy, the film weakened the Ming Dynasty's reinforcements, which attracted some criticism.

6. "Tears of the Dragon"

The film mainly describes the deeds of Lee Bang-won, the third generation king of the Joseon Dynasty, and the background is the early days of the founding of Korea at the end of the 14th century. Li Fangyuan was a figure similar to Tang Taizong Li Shimin. He launched two coups to kill his younger brother and forced his father to retreat and ascend to the throne. This film is a typical Korean imperial drama, similar to our country's "Kangxi Empire" and "Hanwu Emperor", but it is slightly lacking in performance in big scenes.

7. "Taejo Wang Jian"

Background In the tenth century, a man named Wang Jian unified the Korean Peninsula and established the Goryeo Dynasty after countless wars and political struggles. Like "Tears of the Dragon", it is a very successful imperial drama and is not inferior to Chinese imperial dramas in many aspects. Friends who like emperor dramas can enjoy it if you have a chance.

8. "Yonsan Dynasty"

Historical background is in the era of Yeonsangun at the end of the 15th century, when the tenth king of Korea, Yeonsangun (the previous king of Jungjong), came to the throne. He radically reformed the government, but later evolved into a cruel tyrant

The story was finally overthrown by his subordinates. Different from imperial dramas that show saintly kings, this drama focuses on depicting the changes in the psychological and political structure of Lord Yanshan who endured humiliation to avenge his mother and then went against the grain after ascending to the throne. It is very interesting

.

9. "The World of Women"

The historical background is in the Jungjong era in the early 16th century. It has the same background as "Dae Jang Geum". It describes a witch named Zheng Lanzhen passing through Various means are used to finally achieve the goal of controlling the government. It is a typical political crony struggle film, which promotes various vicious political methods of conspiracy and power, and depicts a negative and cold real world. Personally, I don’t think it’s suitable for young people to watch.

10. "Zhang Aibin"

The historical background is in the Suzong era at the end of the seventeenth century. At that time, Korea had just experienced a war with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the Westerners in the court were The political struggle with the Southern People’s Party, the Gongseo Party and the Qingxi Party describes a witch named Jang Ok-jung

who seduced the king through her beauty and became Jang Aibin, and colluded with the Southern People’s Party to dethrone Queen In-hyun Min, but was executed by the king after the truth was revealed. Like "Women's World", the film is filled with too much power and excessive

negativeness, making it not worth watching.

11. "Poseidon"

Adapted from the famous novel "The Way of the King", the historical background is in the Silla Dynasty in the eighth century. It depicts a pirate named Zhang Baogao who dealt with the Tang Dynasty. , the story between the Three Kingdoms of Silla and Japan. Personally, I think this drama is a typical YY masturbation film. A group of Silla people are running rampant in China, treating the powerful Tang army as nothing, excessively vilifying and weakening the Chinese people. Looking at it from the perspective of the Chinese , is really very inferior. But from the perspective of Koreans,

it can barely be considered patriotic.

12. "The Way of the Army"

The historical background is the same as "The Immortal Yi Sun-sin", in the Seonjo era at the end of the 16th century, which was the period of Japan's invasion of Korea. This film is the most shameless YY masturbation film I have ever seen. The first half is okay.

It describes the Korean military and civilians' resistance to the Japanese invasion. It can be regarded as a patriotic education. But the second half is just nonsense, saying that Yi Sun-shin took advantage of the victory and attacked the Japanese mainland, mobilized millions of troops with Tokugawa Ieyasu in Osaka, Kyoto and Edo and other places

for a decisive battle, and finally the Korean king In order to avoid the loss of life, he took the initiative to negotiate with Japan and signed a peace treaty. The tampering with history has reached the point of lawlessness. Personally, I think it can be viewed as a joke.
