Empress Ki hands down. All of them are great but Empress Ki is definitely my favorite because I never stopped loving her character. She started out awesome and then just got awesomer even when I didn't think it possible. I never got bored with all the political strategies and the music was epic. Over all I thought it was just a brilliant story and well directed. It hit me right in the feels. Jewel in the Palace definitely came close to second though.

From your list, Sungkyunkwan Scandal. It's a very good gender-bender and romantic comedies are unusual for period dramas.
And I'll also add Painter Of The Wind, it's the most beautiful period drama to me.

Out of all these dramas, I chose Queen In Hyun's Man. I rewatched this drama so many time. I love the chemistry between the lead actors. This will always be a classic drama to me. It's romantic, historical. There's action, mystery, politic and more... It's where you would find most of the genres in it and they fit so well together. I did not get annoyed or disappointed from the beginning to the end. It has a beautiful begining and a beautiful ending.

@bambamby I totally agree about Jackpot. It was a great story, really well acted. I almost dropped it in the first couple of episodes because of the all the hysterical screaming and crying of the older actors but once it settled in it was really, really good.

My favourite historical drama is Faith. Honourable mentions to Six Flying Dragons and Iljimae

Oh man, so tough. I'd have to say Dong Yi, although Empress Ki is a close 2nd. I loved her character so much, and I loved the plot!

I've watched many historical dramas but nothing could beat Empress Ki from my heart. The story was unpredictable and fast-pacing. I loved the complexity of the main leads, scenery, music and costumes. Battle of Changsha came close to the second.
