-
4. O Grande Vidente
Korean Drama - 2012, 35 episodes
-
5. Honra Teu Nome
Korean Drama - 2017, 16 episodes
It's also set in the present, but it has many parts in the past and a protagonist from that time, so I'll allow it.
-
6. Queen Seon Duk
Korean Drama - 2009, 62 episodes
-
7. Reino 2
Korean Drama - 2020, 6 episodes
The second season was a lot better in my opinion.
-
8. Meu País: A Nova Era
Korean Drama - 2019, 16 episodes
-
9. Secret Investigation Record
Korean Drama - 2010, 12 episodes
A little silly and scifi oriented, but it also has a good amount of historical drama in it.
-
10. Dr. Jin
Korean Drama - 2012, 22 episodes
Controversial, but I actually liked the character development of some of the minor characters.
-
11. Hwarang
Korean Drama - 2016, 20 episodes
-
12. Os Três Mosqueteiros
Korean Drama - 2014, 12 episodes
-
13. Lendas da Cidade Natal
Korean Drama - 2008, 8 episodes
-
14. Brilhe ou Enlouqueça
Korean Drama - 2015, 24 episodes
-
15. Uma Árvore de Raízes Profundas
Korean Drama - 2011, 24 episodes
Slow start, many unlikeable characters, but gets better toward the end.
-
16. Eight Days Mystery of Jeong Jo Assassination
Korean Drama - 2007, 10 episodes
Not a standout, but it was a decent drama and nothing I had seen before.
-
17. Reino
Korean Drama - 2019, 6 episodes
I watched it dubbed which might've ruined some of my enjoyment. It's horror but it's also heavily influenced by historical dramas.
-
18. Guerreiro Baek Dong Soo
Korean Drama - 2011, 29 episodes
-
19. O Mais Forte Chil Woo
Korean Drama - 2008, 20 episodes
Cringey as hell, but I think they meant it to be that way, judging by dialogue in later episodes. Even then, it's a bit painful to watch at times.
-
20. Kim Soo Ro
Korean Drama - 2010, 32 episodes
Really uneven in terms of good and bad episodes and plot arcs, but overall I had a favorable impression.
-
21. The Iron Empress
Korean Drama - 2009, 78 episodes
-
22. The Merchant: Gaekju 2015
Korean Drama - 2015, 41 episodes
Absolute garbage. I’m only giving it 4 stars because the first few episodes are ok and there are a few good performances.
