Hi!!
I was like you...I was thinking that historical drama were weird...but then I saw
Arang and the magistrate only because of the leads actors and made me fall in love with korean historical drama.
(I even searched the history of Korea in an encyclopaidia )When you say historical drama you mean the ones who are about real events or the ones who are based on real events and are more fictional?
For
real historical I would suggest:
Jumong (amazing)HwajeongThe Flower in prisonKing's daughter Soo Baek Hyang (It's a 120+ episode drama but for some reason it got me hooked )For
fictional historical I would highly recommend:
(MUST WATCH)Arang and the Magistrate (really funny and I've seen it 2 times most of it)Moon that embraces the sunPrincess' Man (I've seen it 2 times)Joseon Gunman (I've seen it 2 times)FaithMaids (It's kinda harsh but it shows reality...)Hope I helped...
