Korean K-Dramas/Movies on historical time table - ver 2

Rillas

Hello,

Since my previous topic grew quite big (I never imagined that it would required so much "space" in posts) and become a little bit chaotic due to some part of the drama list being separated from each other, I decided to recreate it and to add more "reserved" posts for future use.

I also would like to thank everyone who liked and supported this idea; specially many thanks to people who helped me made this time table complete (or at least more completed, since job will be never done ^^ ): Neyjour, risingsun, karlutza, Ceinwyn, choimari, rainruma, zeamays as well as Admins and Moderators of MDL (who made such awesome place, where we can share our passion for Drams).

Please note, that it will take me some time to rebuild the whole topic and to copy/format everything again.

Thank you for the support! :)

-----------------

This topic is dedicated to all fan of Korean Historical dramas and movies as well as all fans of Korean history.

Even tho, I'm fully aware of that story showed in the dramas may differ from the historical truth, but still they are based on history and I like to have/read "true historical background" about the people / kings / events which are showed in dramas.

Maybe this little list, will allow you better understand when each drama is happening. :)
