Aaaand...we have a winner for my next drama: Eight Days: the Mystery of Jeong-Jo's Assassination.

See trailer:

How could I resist? It's a very short (only ten eps, thus easily managed), highly acclaimed 2007 drama centering around assassination attempts on Korean King Jeong-Jo, who was apparently a reformer inconvenient to many, during the eight days he travelled to visit his father's tomb.

This sounds so very very good. I love tense historical thrillers.

Also, since I have no knowledge of that period of Korean history, I have no idea how it turns out - do not spoil me.
