[History] JOSEON Dynasty


Sometimes I think although historically China's dynasty was greater than Korean, somehow their period drama storyline isn't captivating enough, in term of popular-fictional-commercial purpose.

So, anyone following Sageuk dramas ? Famous Joseon era often hits the selling market,  no ? I tried to complied Joseon's kings through Wiki. For fun purpose only. Things concluded here are: Life is... continuation process of learning. Getting hard, getting harsh, gotta be smart and stronger. War has been always sad. Power, political, always create such troubles- because most human beings are blinded by those things. He he he .... Trying to be wise.

Let's begin!

(30) yiwon 2005-now   

Here comes some opinions on them :)
1. Lee Seojin as Yi San (King Jeongjo). One of the best K-Drama. Thou watching drama is actually about wasting time, killilng time, etc, but Yi San is worth all of it.
2. Kim Yeongcheol as King Sejo in Princess' Man. He really portrayed Sejo as a capable king and worthy ruler thou cruellll ... at least in the end he'd forgiven her daughter and son in law.
3. Never watched Dong Yi, but it seems Ji Jinhee portrayed King Sukjong quite good.
