HDC Period Dramas: ROUND 2

Here are the top 25 from the Round 1 List (https://mydramalist.com/list/4a6RKx81)

 The top 25 are just that: the 25 titles with the highest number of votes, in descending order.

 

NOTE: Jewel in the Palace (22nd  place), and Splash Splash Love (26th place)  were not added to the Round 3 List  because it belonged in the Historical Drama List for Round 1.  Not to worry,: both are  already in the Historical Drama Round 1 list :) ...I don't know why the list didn't accept my deletes...sorry.


For ROUND 2:

  • There will be no additions to this list - just voting.  You are limited to your top 10. 
  • From that 10, we'll pick the top 3, during Round 3.  
  • The top three become the Historical Drama Club's First (and hopefully, not the last!) Hall of Fame.
