HDC Historical Dramas: ROUND 2
The Historical Drama list from Round 1 List (https://mydramalist.com/list/4a6RKx81) , which had 60 titles.
The Historical Drama List: ROUND 2 list contains the Top 25. These top 25 for the ROUND 2 list are just that: the 25 titles with the highest number of votes.
For ROUND 2:
- There will be no additions to this list - just voting. You are limited to your top 10.
- From that 10, we'll pick the top 3, during Round 3.
- The top three become the first (and hopefully, not the last!) Historical Drama Club's First Period Drama Hall of Fame.
NOTE: The following dramas, though appearing in Round 1 Historical Drama and on the top 25, are available for voting on the Period Drama List (because of the criteria for Period Dramas and Historical Dramas)
- Rookie Historian Goo Hae Ryung
- The King's Affection
