I've introduced some historical dramas based on the Goryeo era before, but this time I'm going to talk about a drama based on the Goryeo era!! These are Moonlight Drawn by Clouds, Red Ends of Sleeves, and Jang Yeong-sil.

1. Moonlight Drawn by Clouds

This drama aired in 2016 and achieved a viewership rating of 23.3%, so it can be said that it was really popular. It deals with a fictional history with the motif of the late Joseon Dynasty. A court romance unfolds between the male protagonist 'Lee Young', the Crown Prince of a country, and the female protagonist 'Hong Ra-on', a eunuch disguised as a man. Yeoju Hong Ra-on lived as a man while dressing as a man as her mother wished, and the reason for this was later revealed when her father's identity was revealed. Anyway, the ending is a happy ending! The drama ends as Lee Young ascends the throne and Ra-eun and Lee Young are together. If you like a refreshing and fresh court romance, you should definitely watch it!!

2. Red ends of sleeves

This drama aired in 2021, so you can say it's relatively recent, right?

It deals with the life of 'Deok Im', the surname of Ui-bin, and her love with Jeongjo, the 22nd king of the Joseon Dynasty, and was created by combining historical facts and fiction. Deok-im met King Jeong-jo from a young age and later entered the palace as a court lady. The overall story is a romance story between a court lady who loves and wants to protect the life she has chosen, and a king whose country is more important than love. Due to Jeongjo's many confessions, Deok-im eventually becomes King Jeong-jo's concubine, but she miscarries her second son, and after that, Deok-im dies . I can.

3. Youngsil Jang

The last is a drama called 'Jang Yeong-sil' and it was aired in 2016. In fact, it has a slightly different material than the previous two introduced. At the time, only Confucianism was considered the order of the world in the Joseon Dynasty. This drama is the first historical drama in which the character 'Jang Yeong-sil' is the main character, and if you are interested in historical figures, you should definitely watch it!
