A quick rec:
-
Secret Investigation Record (sort of like the X-Files, but set in Joseon)
-
A Tree with Deep Roots (King Sejong wanted to create an easy-to-learn writing system, and some people didn't like it; and my description really doesn't give justice to the drama's awesomeness)
-
Ruler of Your Own World (he's an ex-con with a heart of gold and a terminal disease, she's the daughter of a rich family who aspires to be a professional musician; an old school drama from 2002, which amazingly managed to handle melodramatic elements
without being melodramatic in itself)
I don't know about great, though, because everyone has different taste in dramas. But I do feel comfortable recommending those I mentioned above to
anyone, whether they're a Kdrama watcher or not :)
