The list of Korean Sageuks

Q. If you don’t mind me asking, can you recommend some good sageuks?

Well, I don’t know what kind of Korean historical drama/movie you would like. (Trendy? Traditional? Political? Romantic? Timeslip?) So, I made the following list of Korean Sageuks (mostly since 2000~) in chronological order. You can pick up anything you want. :)

★ = Good for beginners (You don’t have to know much about Korean history in advance) ◯ = Daebak (popular in South Korea. More than 30% viewership ratings on TV, or over 7 million tickets at the box office.) ◉ = Hallyu hit (popular in foreign countries) ↗ = Timeslip genre ♡ = Romance-centric, or Erotic ◀ = My favorites

Title in Bold + Italic  = My recommendation

Warrior Culture : Various Subculture : Archer

The invention of the bow drastically changed the shape of not only warfare but the world. Introducing range to warfare and hunting the bow made for perhaps the most cutting edge peice of equipment in its time. Allowing archers of every culture to kill the enemy from a hundred or more paces brought both a safety and a lethality that had not previously existed on the battlefield.

In medieval europe the English longbow was the most lethal weapon on the battlefield. The Mongolian Short Bow was a hug factor in its conquest of the east, its horse archers being the best known to history. Even the Elves in LOTR showcase how deadly two bits of wood can be.

Music of the Ainu (True Native people of Japan). The original people of Japan.  What they sing I have not a clue. I know they are Ainu from their clothing.

They used to live all over Japan (Nihon) now they are forced to live in a reservation in Hokaido. Just like the Native American’s were forced into reservations out in the Western part of United States.

My Japanese coworker told me that according to Shinto beliefs Logan Paul will be cursed/haunted by the soul of the person who hanged themself for the rest of his life. 

Good.

Tatara

A tatara (鑪) is a traditional Japanese furnace designed for making steel. It was with this method that the great katana (刀、日本刀) were forged.

A clay vessel if first constructed for each individual job. After the clay tub has dried, it is fired until dry. A charcoal fire is started inside, and the smelter will wait for the fire to reach the correct temperature before adding sasetsu (砂鉄), which is the sand from which the iron will be taken. This will be layered with more charcoal and sasetsu over the next 72 hours.

It takes about a week to build the tatara and complete the iron conversion to steel. When the process is done, the clay tub is broken and the steel bloom, known as a kera, is removed. At the end of the process, the tatara will have consumed about 10 tons of satetsu and 12 tons of charcoal, leaving about 2.5 tons of tamahagane (玉鋼), the pure metal from which the swords and other metal objects can be formed.

Ladakh (“land of high passes”) is a region in Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir that currently extends from the Kunlun mountain range to the main Great Himalayas to the south, inhabited by people of Indo-Aryan and Tibetan descent. It is one of the most sparsely populated regions in Jammu and Kashmir and its culture and history are closely related to that of Tibet. Ladakh is renowned for its remote mountain beauty and culture.

A perak is a headdress typically worn by the old aristocracy in the Himalayan Ladakh region of Asia. It is composed of a strap of leatherstudded with semi-precious stones, such as lapis lazuli and turquoise.

The perak is a symbol among the Ladakh of the rank and economic status of the woman wearing it. Traditionally, the number of front-to-back rows of turquoise signified the status of the wearer: nine rows for the queen of Leh (the Ladakh capital), seven rows for the more modern aristocracy, five for the marvels, and three for the lower ranks.

The jewels themselves are representative of the Ladakh deities, protecting and guiding the wearer through the dangerous human world.
