I first watched Arang and the Magistrate not long after it was available in the USA for a full binge fest. It was one of the first period Korean Dramas that I watched offering me a window into the myths and cultures of the era. I absolutely enjoyed it. The action was well choreographed and the chemistry among the cast was very fitting for the characters that they played. I laughed with the comedy of errors that played out throughout the series and cried with the characters as they sturggled to find the truth in their lives. I have since watched this drama two more times and one of those was with my best friend’s mother. She is now hooked on Korean Dramas almost as much as I am. I laughed and cried each time I watched it.

I hope this review is helpful in your decision on whether you want to watch Arang and the Magistrate, so please enjoy!
