what is it about that period & time that so much has been written about it, most may be fictitious ,but what is it that many writers write stories about that period? 1600’s right?

If you like Sageuk (historical drama’s), you should definitely watch ‘A tree with deep roots’. It’s about the creation of the Korean alphabet.

Watching “Queen Seondeok” really helped me understand the Silla Dynasty better.

I watched “Dong Yi,” and it’s still one of my favorites.

Huge fan of historicals. :blush:

I stumbled over this blog and found a really good explanation in regards the historical titles and addresses of the Royals, it’s a “little science” to remember all of them but many are pronounced in the dramas. Although there is a wikipedia link from irmar this is a bit different and it may perhaps help to clarify some questions :wink:
