Dangermousie's Guide to Period Korean Drama for Beginners

Interested in checking out Korean period dramas but are put off by the length? Don't want interminable political discussions but are not averse to a bit of swordplay? Nay for hats and beards but yay for Robin Hoods and kick-ass princesses?



Then Dangermousie's Period Korean Drama Guide for Beginners is just for you.

I have a short attention span and the thought of sitting through 100 episodes is appalling. My knowledge of Korean history is that of a novice (it consists of reading "A New History of Korea" by Prof. Lee Ki-baek - an excellent book, highly recommended, but hardly enough to make one well-educated in the subject) so anything that delves too deeply into Korean politics and is impenetrable to an outsider will probably be left off this list. Beards and hats are not my style. The dramas behind the cut managed to meet those qualifiers of yours truly - if I liked them, you might too.

( Enter here for a history drama list, from longest to shortest - Robin Hoods, merchants, princesses, and pirates ahoy )

Talk about missing the point...

This reviewer bashes Ninja Assassin for little plot and too much gore.

Brb, loling forever.

Awww, honey, when I (and other people) go to see a movie called Ninja Assassin, we know what we want and expect to get - ninjas. assassinating. people. No more. No less. If that delivers, that is all I care about. It's like watching a horror movie and complaining about lack of meaningful romantic relationships and too much gore, or bitching about that scifi movie having too many alien spaceships, or a romantic comedy not talking about starving children in Subsaharan Africa but instead being concerned on when perky girl and emo boy hook up.

That is the whole point. I am sure it's a bad movie. But I don't care in the slightest. Bring on ninjas and assassins.
