Prior to 2010 kdrama rec post
@walkwithheroes84 asked: “What are some dramas (Japanese, Taiwanese, Chinese, and/or Korean) that are older (pre-2010) that you wish more people would watch.”
Ooooh boy, we are gonna be here all day so I am just going to do Korea and save the rest for later. I had to really cull!
A Love to Kill (2005) - I own Japanese DVDs of this, I was so obsessed. A dark, intense melo in which Rain gets a job as a bodyguard to a rising young star played by Shin Minah. His plan is to seduce and wreck her to avenge his dead brother (who he believes killed himself after she heartlessly left him for fame), but he recons without his own impossible feelings for her or the extent of SMA’s internal damage. They remain one of the most impossible, messed-up, intense, doomed OTPs I’ve ever shipped. Stock tissues.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJox8iEcFMs
All In (2003) - he is a gangster, she is a nun. Have I gotten your attention yet? This was a huge hit and Lee Byung Hun and Song Hye Kyo are out of this world together.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AuVDFLOytQI
Beautiful Days (2001-2002) - a super classic, grown up melo about a plucky poor girl and a tortured workaholic and Choi Ji Woo and Lee Byung Hun set the screen on fire.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3skKcivjJs
Capital Scandal (2007) - somehow both frothy and deeply emotional, this centers on freedom fighters and playboys and spies in 1930s Seoul. If you don’t love it, you have no heart.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HN-0tERlaNM
Chuno/Slave Hunters (2009) - possibly my favorite sageuk (it’s a threeway tie atm), this story about an aristocrat turned slave hunter, a general turned slave, and a slave woman turned an aristocrat, all involved with rebellion, court secrets and sheer desperation of their lives is amazing. Beyond amazing. Jang Hyuk, Oh Ji Ho and Lee Da Hae are all on fire and if you ever watch only one sageuk, make it this one.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5vAGdXpN6no
City Hall (2009) - Kim Sun Ah as a small town civil servant and Cha Seung Won as an amoral fixer for a powerful politician sparkle beyond words in the most grown up, smart kdrama romcom I have ever seen.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KLek2pnv8yY
Coffee Prince (2007) - Yoon Eun Hye is a woman dressing as a man, Gong Yoo as a man horrified to discover he likes her while thinking she is a boy. This was a mad hit for a reason.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OKSupXmez5w
Damo (2003) - my first sageuk, this is as good as ever. Ha Ji Won is a police tea servant, a noble lady whose family was executed and she came down in the world; Lee Seo Jin as her noble superior who loves her silently. She infiltrates a conspiracy led by the charismatic, tortured Kim Mim Joon, and epic tragedy follows.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGkglLvjJ9k
Delightful Girl Chunhyang (2005) - back when Hong Sisters were consistently good, this is a modern take on the famous folk tale. Our heroine is a studious poor girl and our hero a ne’er-do-well son of a local prosecutor. There is arranged marriage, true love surviving some insane sacrifice, one of my all time favorite OTPs, and a heroine and hero that grow into people I was obsessed with. Confession time - I wrote fanfic for this drama!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5kTGHJZIUvA
East of Eden (2008-2009) - a sprawling multigenerational epic they don’t make much of any more, this has its flaws but the plots and brotherhood and romances and the characters and the revenge are so worth it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x6LBIo16-e8
Emperor of the Sea/Sea God (2004-2005) - a larger than life sageuk epic they don’t make any more.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j53vbAxW3d4
Family’s Honor (2008) - Kdrama does North and South. Our heroine is a widow from an aristocratic family, our hero is a noveau riche ruthless businessman who gets attracted to her. This is so so good!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YrAMgTKg_As
Fashion 70s (2005) - period drama about a bunch of intense cool peeps, fashion and love. Just watch it.
https://youtu.be/qly7vkFUv3g
Friend Our Legend (2009) - the most criminally underrated drama on this list, about a group of childhood friends turned gangsters and the tragic fall out.I want a rewatch rn tbh.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJQx3tA5cGs
Goong (2005) - a giddily fun take on an alternate universe where an icy modern crown prince and a bubbly commoner have to get married.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GAjz-5b4P6A
Green Rose (2005) - this tale of a man (Go Soo) trying to get revenge and get back to his love (Lee Da Hae) is a modern take on Monte Cristo and has one of my fave opening scenes ever.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epJt6jCIOlU
Hello My Teacher (2005) - Gong Yoo is a student in love with Gong Hyo Jin’s teacher.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oNFoENWvEEk
Hong Gil Dong (2008) - starts out wacky, ends up by making me cry. A wonderful take on Korean Robin Hood and the OTP omg the OTP!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ingEOTBSnt0
IRIS (2009) - in the running for my favorite kdrama of all time, with definitely the most tortured hero, this starts out as a fun routine actioner until our hero’s life details in a horrifying fashion and even his attempts to right the world are doomed in this horrifyingly bleak, intense, romantic drama.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5kesXxZOBzQ
Jumong (2006-2007) - the DADDY of all traditional sageuks, with insane ep count (81) and equally insane and deserved ratings. See our hero go from zero to hero and an awesome king.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ILBnGNxtwXw
The Kingdom of the Winds (2008-2009) - Song Il Gook’s last sageuk (so far, though I don’t think he’s gonna bother to come back), a story about a cursed prince and his quest for love and throne, this is wonderful.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1qfC0yFIf0
Last Scandal (2008) - they dated in high school. Now she is an exhausted ahjumma with a deadbeat husband and he is a huge star. A second chance romance that starts out hilarious but turns profound follows. One of my all time faves.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zquHf8-p3ZU
The Legend (2007) - I’ve raved about it elsewhere; it is arguably my favorite sageuk of all time (or maybe even just plain fave kdrama), smart and passionate and hugely epic.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=853sc-s2hHE
Lobbyist (2007) - one of the very few actioners I’ve ever liked, and with more whump than you can shake a stick at, Song Il Gook is a tough as nails international arms dealer with an even tougher OTP (JJY) and this is a heaven of plot and love and hurt/comfort.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8puRJNmey4
Loveholic (2005) - a student/teacher romance AND a story about a man going to jail to protect the woman he loves all rolled into one. What more could you want?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6nVH75IRCM
Lovers (2006) - if it’s a smart adult love story you want, come right in!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bgpe4VkbtNk
Mawang/The Devil/Lucifer (2007) - meet possibly my n1 kdrama of all time. Haunted past, tragedy, revenge, complicated characters and plot. If there is a perfect kdrama, this is it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lkn1KYaCjVk
My Girl (2005) - Lee Dong Wook and Lee Da Hae set the screen on fire in a romcom with hidden identities and plot twists. PS it is funny but when the drama starts, I literally bawled.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k0jpSCN72Wg
One Fine Day (2006) - Sung Yuri and Gong Yoo in a lovely, angsty romance.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qVeUG5U3oCU
Piano (2001-2002) - this is like who is who before they got to be big stars - Go Soo and Kim Hae Neul are in love but can’t be together because they are stepsiblings, Jo In Sung is a young gangster, tragedy and melo all around.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRG_4Uxl4Zo
Que Sera Sera (2007) - Eric and Jung Yumi play the ultimate dysfunctional couple. He uses his good looks to date rich generous women, she is a neighbor who is neither. Their levels of obsession with each other are insane.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d4XqW14_A7k
Queen Seon Duk (2009) - want a female centric sageuk that is intense and epic and amazing? Look no further!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZwIY4poVBNw
Resurrection (2005) - a tight, complex revenge thriller that more people should see.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_ZbmVAk8zQ
The Return of Iljimae/Moon River (2009) - Jung Il Woo’s debut, this is arguably my favorite take on Korean Robin Hood ever and except for Someday and Friend Our Legend, the most underrated drama on this list.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0YjgmHVO3n0
Robber (2008) - Jang Hyuk and Lee Da Hae break my heart and then heal it in this intense story of a man preying on desperate women and a broken widow. Yes, it’s another two messed up people heal each other story. I love those!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SDyy3UtUWeM
Romance (2002) - a teacher/student romance, with gorgeous young Kim Jae Won and Kim Ha Neul.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9LBs1tnc5Js
Sang Do, Let’s Go to School - Gong Hyo Jin is a teacher, Rain is a gigolo taking gigs to support his son; they used to be each other’s first loves. It’s wistful and slice of life and utterly tragic. Written by Lee Kyung Hee of the A Love to Kill and Thank You fame.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jRg1q3RULWk
Save the Last Dance for Me (2004-2005) - I binged 17 episodes of this baby at a go, a record that has not yet been surpassed. Ji Sung is a rich man who is in an accident and gets amnesia, being cared for and falling for Eugene. However when he recovers his memory and forgets his amnesia time - he will end up meeting her again and falling for her all over again (hilariously, his RL wife Lee Bo Young plays the psycho secondary girl in this.)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekfBrvJil8c
Say You Love Me (2004) - a much better attempt at Dangerous Liasons than the wretched Tempted. Kim Rae Won and Yoon So Yi, naive and tragic young lovers, come across a pair of jaded sophisticates; the female half of whom is intrigued by the fresh faced KRW and envious of uncomplicated young love and asks her partner to take YSI away from KRW for kicks.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=niL2WJ_oAIU
Seoul 1945 (2006) - from WW2 to the Korean war, this is intense and smart and pulls no punches.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bYsotv2rFQI
Shining Inheritance/Brilliant Legacy (2009) - Han Hyo Joo is a young woman tormented by her family; Lee Seung Gi is a spoiled rich boy who needs to grow up. I was obsessed with this.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_sWhVZA3DY
Snow Queen (2006-2007) - Hyun Bin and Sung Yuri do a tragic romance melo right. He is a poor, smart kid, she is a brittle rich girl with a terminal illness. It hurts so good.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GEkAbJLYVpk
Someday (2006) - a sheltered cartoonist suffering from a writer’s block meets a sort-of small time private detective. They are both haunted by their pasts but find hope and healing with each other.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLVijs891dw
Spring Day (2005) - a very solid melo where Jo In Sung ends up stealing the girl from the original leading man.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ps7l27OBnVQ
Spring Waltz (2006) - the last and, imo, best of the seasons dramas, possibly in my all time top 10 kdramas, it follows a haunted young pianist and his OTP and their shared tragic past and hope for the future.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3IGO0DST8dk
Swallow the Sun (2009) - Ji Sung as the haunted mercenary wanting revenge on his father, Sung Yuri as his tough, common-sense girlfriend, one of my fave secondary OTPs (mercenary x stripper) etc etc.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C51efR5Iq5I
Thank You (2007) - Gong Hyo Jin is an island woman living with the stigma and agony of having an HIV positive child. Jang Hyuk is a surgeon haunted by the death of his girlfriend. Two lost souls find and heal each other in one of my all time favorites.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVk1TjvZZOw
Time Between Dog and Wolf (2007) - Lee Jun Ki is tortured a lot on his path to revenge and love. I loooove this one.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v24-57tLFH4
Tree of Heaven (2006) - only ten eps but bring your tissues for this tender and tragic and gorgeous love story between Park Shin Hye and Lee Wan, stepsiblings for a brief time; they reconnect when she’s a cleaner and he’s a gangster. I was sooooo obsessed with it!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YnAZlXZjFcw
What Happened in Bali (2005) - Ha Ji Won, Jo In Sung and So Ji Sub are a trio of desperately damaged people entangled with each other in what is probably still the darkest melo I have seen out of Korea. Money grubbing poor woman played by HJW, high-strung, abused rich son played by JIS, or a cold, ambitious man on the rise SJS - pick any of them, there is enough damage to level a city.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FKHcYvK5qZM
Will It Snow for Christmas (2009) - a melodrama with Go Soo and Han Ye Seul by Lee Kyung Hee.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvQ14gtCqvw
Worlds Within/The World That They Live In (2008) - the last candidate for my n1 kdrama of all time. By Noh Hee Kyung, with seemingly mundane lives of TV station personnel. But every character is someone you feel you know and Hyun Bin and Song Hye Kyo are both real and unreal as the OTP.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBHrjZ8T6a4
Congrats if you made it to the end!

Bae Doona and Oh Yoon Ah worked together in an OCN drama in 2006!?! OMG!?! It's called Someday. How come, I'm just realizing this now lmao?! Maybe these two can re-unite someday? Is there a drama pairing or so that you would love to see regardless of genre? Thanks!
nooo i did see that and was about to lose my marbles but it’s from before the ocnification of ocn so it’s a romance sadly :((( plus the lead is l*w and i’m allergic to him^^ you know actually it would be cool to see them in something without shitty men although they do give off different energy i think it’d be fun you’re right anon.
as for pairings my brain has been entirely consumed with imagining casts for lee yooyoung as one of her 7 international fans so i was thinking how her with han yeri or moon geunyoung in a senior-junior/competitive setting would be cool like bubbly junior and then yooyoung as the kinda aloof one although it’d be the other way round if it was yeri or as a friendship trio like with be melo except..good or maybe even as a sageuk antagonist (but let’s not go there yet) oh but also if yooyoung reunited with kim junhan and got to make fun of him that’d be lovely like he could do a seo gongmyung-esque character not sure if she would want to do a sera-like role though lmao and if she reunites with kyuhyung in like a melo or something i’d actually watch it -though hesitantly. she could also do a character similar to iu’s in my mister with- *gets rugby tackled to the ground*
ps: none of these are romance sorry :)))) but if she’s the protagonist i guess we can give her a handsome carpenter bf who doesn’t interrupt the general plot like kim jisuk or something
#anon#answered#kdrama asks#we'll see if oya is suited to ocn stuff once the cursed movie comes out but i believe in it we will see it#speaking of oya her with kjs would be incredible#sorry anon i was serious when i said i only think about yooyoung potential casting as her agent and pr manager#technically jaeyi is pretty similar to my mister iu but i want it AGAIN#i could talk nonstop about casts i want to see

Jung Yoo Mi has been offer lead female role in the OCN Drama “Priest” along side Yeon Woo Jin. The drama is bout exorcism, if Yoo Mi accept, she will play the role of the female doctor, a woman of science but however has great belief in the force beyond, she got herself into a case of an exorcist (Yeon Woo Jin’s role) and then work with him from there since she realizes helping her patients with her doctor skills is not enough. The drama is in talk to be scheduled in OCN weekend’s slot, after voice 2 and Player (star Song Seung Hun).
I feel like I should congratulate Yeon Woo Jin on this, the guy has been talking about getting back together with her in a drama for years :))))). He always talking about one movie together was not enough and they should do a drama together when they were promoting Tunnel 3D, and then years later he appeared on her radio as a friend guest and that’s still all he talked about, she asked her what genre he wanna do, he said it doesn’t matter, as long as she’s in it. She’s like, “aww that’s lovely me too” and he said with all the seriousness in the world, that he would make it happen someday, she just has to say yes when the day comes. Well guess what, that day really came. Gurl, you better take this, you promised him :))))). Also the drama seems interesting.

Thoughts on dramas I am watching
The Crowned Clown (Korea) - I felt like sageuk and I haven’t seen this one; a couple of eps in, it’s dark and smart and so freaking emotional. Yeo Jin Goo was honestly born to be in sageuks.
Dance of the Sky Empire (China) - I watched 12 eps and I am dropping it. I am too old for fluffy school hijinks even in period setting. Xu Kai has insane amounts of charisma as always, though, and I hope his next drama would be more my bag.
Joy of Life (China) - I am on ep 5. I like it but I have to pay so much attention, it’s slow going because it’s so dense.
King’s War/Legend of Chu and Han (China) - I just started but a dense, grimy, battle-centric epic is so very much my bag!
Love In Between (China) - I am about halfway through and it’s still every bit as perfect as it was.
Psycho But It’s OK (Korea) - this is a true gem of a drama - wonderfully acted, and scripted and filmed. It’s a healing love story, an off-kilter fairytales and just perfect all around.
Song of Glory (China) - it’s like Princess Weiyoung, Princess Silver and Princess Agents had a threesome and had an awesome awesome and slightly feral baby! Gorgeous design, an actual grown-up OTP, heroine that kicks more ass than entirety of MMA roster, cool secondary characters, brainy hero, and so much star-crossed gorgeousness mixed with some politics.
Train (Korea) - yes, I am finally watching an OCN drama. (The last OCN drama I finished was Someday, which was made in 2007 (!!!) and is freaking amazing but not their modern fare at all.) To be fair, it’s hard to refuse dark and intense + world hopping + Yoon Si Yoon + romance (yes, OCN is doing a romance for the first time in years.) Two eps in and I am ride or die for this puppy!
The Young Warriors of the Yang Clan (China) - this one is a rewatch because I apparently live for pain. It’s still as pitch-perfect as when I watched it back almost ten years ago and its star-studded cast is gonna break my heart all over again...

I love most of the dramas you've enjoyed or are enjoying recently, like beauty inside, encounter, one spring night, haechi etc, and I love that because these four mostly didn't get the ratings they deserve in mydramalist which is like the international community's lifeblood, but has some really lopsided ratings, what other korean shows have you loved over the years that you think maybe are underrated or didn't get the attention and praise they deserve?
You have excellent taste, Anon, and by that I of course means it matches mine :)
I don’t really go to MDL except to occasionally find out the ending for a completed drama, because I have long accepted I like what I like and I don’t really care if others share that or not so I never check ratings (MDL or Korean) or really anything else. So I can’t speak too much about when I disagreed with MDL ratings because I genuinely don’t know them.
Also, a lot of times, if it’s not a trendy romcom, a youth sageuk, or maybe a feminist-tinged female-centric contemporary tale, international fandom tends to ignore it. I am not surprised if Haechi didn’t get much attention or high MDL score, for example, for precisely the same reason I love it - it’s a hardcore traditional sageuk, a throwback to something like Yi San (penned by the same writer) and international fandom* has never as long as I have been in it (since 2006) been gung ho for that sort of stuff. Out of the four you mentioned, only The Beauty Inside would probably qualify as a romcom and as you can tell by the fact that I who rarely likes a romcom, liked it, it’s the least romcommiest romcom I’ve seen out there. One Spring Night and Encounter are mellow mood pieces about older women in romances and slice of life, which fandom once again doesn’t tend to go for (though I thought Encounter was popular?)
I assume by attention/praise btw you mean from international community, because that and Korean ratings are two different beasts. A lot of good ratings are from weekend dramas which few international fans freak out over. And trendy romcoms that get fandoms excited often don’t have great ratings. An example from really long ago which I remember vividly because it was so extreme - the entirety of English-speaking kdrama fandom was freaking out because of You’re Beautiful (which, in the interest of disclosure, I hated) while it had a fraction of Korean ratings that IRIS (which It was airing against) had and which most of international fandom had no interest in other than being annoyed it had better ratings (once again, disclosure - IRIS is in my top 10.)
So underrated - I think overall older dramas because fandom has a short attention span. Someone asked me about pre-2010 dramas recently and I think every drama on that list, however fandom popular it was at the time or whatever insane ratings it got, would fit the question - Jumong got over 50% ratings back way when but I am pretty sure it’s fandom unknown now. Frankly, I think most dramas from prior to 2014 would fit that.
Also genres - traditional sageuks, classic and/or adult melos, slice of life that is not tinged with coolness like search www or age of youth, multigenerational epics, weekend family dramas. Those all would get that.
Dramas starring problematic actors (once again, older dramas are hit disproportionately because their actors had more time to do iffy stuff.) Many people understandably stay away from a drama whose actor (or more rarely actress) has done something bad. I am in the minority where I care nothing about actors’ lives good or bad - I have no interest who they date and whether they are a good person or secretly murder people (or, more likely nowadays, commit sexual assault) in their spare time. To be clear - I have no problem with them going to jail either and if they did something jail worthy they should be sent there asap, because if you are a criminal that’s where you belong, but basically their real life behavior has no influence on whether I can enjoy someone in a drama. As far as I am concerned, they evaporate once off screen. That is not true for a lot of people.
OK, some examples of dramas:
At one point, my n1 favorite kdrama title revolved among four dramas - perfectly crafted revenge and regret drama, Mawang, a slice of life that owned me, Worlds Within, the fantasy sageuk Legend, and a gangster tragedy saga Friend Our Legend. I would think all of those are extremely underrated though Legend was a ratings hit back way when.
Someday, a 2006 OCN drama before they went all profiler, about a cartoonist finding out about herself and falling for a very damaged private sort-of detective. Que Sera Sera - an adult dysfunctional romance done right, A Love to Kill, a 2005 melo that doesn’t care for anything but its inexorable arc of tragedy and deconstruction of two very damaged individuals (you want fluff, go elsewhere, this is unrelentingly bleak). Love Rain, a wonderful old-school melo made years after the trend has passed, Etc etc etc…
* When I use the term international fandom, I am referring only to English speaking online fandom. I am a native Russian speaker and can tell that tastes there are a bit different and dramas that did well in e.g. Japan circa 2002 are very different than an American girl on tumblr likes in 2019.

The sun rises
The eternal things are now gone
If I look at the horizon
how far away am I seeing?
For those who are weary of loneliness
We sing far into the night
For those who are hurt,
We sing far into the night
Do you hear my song?
Do you hear my voice?
I can’t hear you anymore
So look at the horizon
The place that touches the sky

The sun rises

how far away am I seeing?
For those who are weary of loneliness
We sing far into the night
Do you hear my song?
Do you hear my voice?
I can’t hear you anymore
Sorry, I didn’t know how to fly
but now I fly in the sky
Don’t be sorry for me
If you wait, someday
I would come to you
Sorry, I didn’t know how to fly
but now I fly in the sky
Do you hear my song?
Do you hear my voice?
I can’t hear you anymore
When my heart wants to burst
At the sight of your face
If I look at the horizon
how far away am I seeing?
