You watched 임진왜란~ that's like one of the classics (1986). I watched a few tapes a friend had, but it was so fun. They only used miniatures and mid-close shots, but it was so much more realistic than most of what you see nowadays.
Actually I think things like Shin Don and Conspiracy in The Court have a view of history none of the older dramas ever dared to display, but yeah. Anything from post 개국 (1983) up to around the late 90s is much more educational than what passes on as period drama nowadays.

| Is anyone familiar with King's Woman, currently aired by Arirang (satellite) TV? I have only caught glimpses of it so far. Park Seon-yeong is in it, which is always a plus in my eyes, but seeing her in a hanbok is... weird. I have only seen her in modern dramas before (like Truth and 18 vs. 29).

Drama is crap, but even worse is the treatment it's getting from Arirang. They're splitting eps into three parts, cutting scenes whenever they please... it's a huge mess. Ever since management changed the channel has become a cesspool of tourism types. What's the point of having almost HD-looking digital satellite channels when they even screw up their own material... Eh...
Anyway, back on topic. Drama is quite bad, putrid writing and cliched direction, although a few of the actors did well (namely Park Sun Young and the usual veterans). Funny is that the director (Kim Jae Hyung of King & I) actually did the same story almost ten years earlier, in 1995's West Palace, and he managed to screw that too. This is such a fascinating period... West Palace had better actors (Lee Young Ae, Kim Gyu Cheol etc. etc.), but well... it's "vintage" 95, I guess. Recently bought the Japanese DVD and it looks magnificent. The drama... well. Still crap.
Best drama covering the period (Gwanghae-gun, Seonjo etc. etc.) is the little known 2001 KBS drama Roll of Thunder (천둥소리) with Choi Jae Sung, Oh Jung Hae, Choi Jung Yoon et al. I'm waiting for VHS rips from a friend, but this could be our third subtitled drama after Shin Don and whatever gets chosen after that (be it Sang Do, 8 Days or whatever).

Don't remember. I think... 50? Anyway will have to wait for VHS Rips first, so might take months.
Have you seen Boys of Tomorrow? Heard Kim Jin Min casted Choi Jae Sung in Time Between Dog & Wolf after seeing that role. It's quite the good little flick actually.

| Argh, too bad it's about 90 bucks per volume. All three volumes come to about half of my whole month's paycheck, woot. Looks very shiny though.

can anyone help find these dramas:
용의눈물 (tears of dragon)
왕과비(king and queen)
제국의 아침 (dawn of the empire)
무인시대 (age of warriors)
either download or dvd box set.
preferably download.
i signed up for chol.com ... they had a foreigner signup even...
i signed up for the sole purpose of downloading from simfile.chol.com but i'm unable to because here is *another* registration that requires a korean national ID number. ugh.
anyhow, any hints are welcome.
btw, i can only find up to about 30 for sindon raw files. anyone have above that, let me know
thx

You can find the first three on clubbox. Search at boxfile.co.kr (though the box that has them is on blind until the 26th). All 150mb asf/wmv files, but quite watchable.
Age of Warriors might be a little more difficult as it's disappeared just about everywhere (three days after I finished my downloads, thankfully. ㅋㅋ)
But recently The Immortal Lee Soon Shin, Age of Warriors, Tears of the Dragon and The King and The Queen have been sold to Japan, so there's a slight chance they might release on DVD.

| well, hard. Tears of the Dragon is 160 eps, King & The Queen 186, Age of Warriors 158, Dawn of the Empire 94. Not so hard to understand why they never surfaced on DVD. They're all over cable TV anyway. Well, some of them.
