Day 2: Favourite Historical Dramas

I love historical Dramas almost as much as Kiwis love being called Aussies, so picking one from the VERY short list (of 3) I liked was EASY.

A question for #kdrama folks on here.. does anyone have a list of historical dramas that are vaguely based on real people and events in the correct chronological order. I really want to watch #TreeWithDeepRoots but feel I probably ought to watch some earlier ones first. Think someone mentioned #SixFlyingDragons but not sure how true some others are like #EmpressKi or #RedSleeve - thanks in advance 🙂

@dnkboston @EllenInEdmonton that was actually one of my biggest issues. I didn't think the story was particularly complex and to me, the episodes were stupidly overlong and padded with filler. It was 24 episodes of 75 minutes average length, #TreeWithDeepRoots told a complex historical story in 24 episodes of 65 minutes each, 4 HOURS less total runtime.

@EllenInEdmonton He is awesome in this - he was great in #KDrama #TreeWithDeepRoots too as King Sejong. In this one, He and the actor playing his daughter, Chae Won Bin, owned and carried the show.

Currently, I'm watching the #kdrama #MyCountryTheNewAge and it's become more interesting, now that I know the scary prince played by #JangHyuk later became the king in #TheQueenWhoCrowns and the father of #KingSejong, inventor of Hangeul and considered the greatest king of Korea. I haven't yet watched Sejong's story in #TreeWithDeepRoots, but apparently, Jang Hyuk is back in that one as Sejong.
Historical context matters!

For #KDrama fans who loved the #linguistics focus in #TreeWithDeepRoots , here's one of several articles the renowned Sinologist Victor Mair has written about Hangul at languagelog. This one goes a long way to explaining why Korean sounds are slurred so much, suggesting it's related to the structure of Hangul as an alphasyllabary

Drama Recs Challenge Day 5

Of the ~520 East Asian Dramas I've completed only TWO are pure historicals

For #DramaRecsChallenge "there can be only one"
#TreeWithDeepRoots is UNBELIEVABLY AWESOME.

An entire #KDrama built around the creation of a WRITING SYSTEM? Lengthy dialogues about the physiological mechanics of speech and how to represent vowels and consonants in writing? Be Still My Beating Heart!😍

Also, the usual sageuk politics but enhanced by Jang Hyuk's trademark maniacal laugh😀

Into Ep 3/16 of #KDrama #CheckInHanyang and already MUCH less interested in the #SungyungkwanScandal style 'collegiate' hijinks than in the marvelously machiavellian machinations and mystery. Kim Min Jeong is acing it, and it's huge fun seeing the arch-villain of sageuk #TreeWithDeepRoots AGAIN playing a villain in a sageuk-ish story.

9.5/10 for #KDrama #TreeWithDeepRoots An entire Drama was built around the creation of Hangeul STLL blows my mind, and the linguistic bits were pure crack.

BUT, with an otherwise blank slate for the story, the obsessive need sageuks have for everyone to die was tiresome. There were plausibly bittersweet endings possible without saccharine fairy story bliss that still allowed the heroes to see their success. I loved this Drama but it's confirmed that the "art must HURT" mindset is not for me

Into episode 19/24 in #KDrama #TreeWithDeepRoots and keener than ever to find a Korean-language picture dictionary - to confirm my conviction that the entry for "maniacal laugh" would be a photo of Jang Hyuk in full flight. 😆

I know that the tragic/heroic death of a legally-mandated minimum percentage of the core cast of a true sageuk is enshrined in the Korean Constitution but, I'M STILL watching #KDrama #TreeWithDeepRoots - bravo!
