Ever since the mid-2000s, K-dramas have exploded in popularity globally, with some earning great praise, such as Boys Over Flowers, Goblin, Crash Landing on You, and Full House. K-dramas are known for their romantic, and sometimes cheesy, love stories, which are an important factor within a Korean drama.
What’s great about the show is that it’s not just a simple body-swap historical K-Drama. The way the Bong-hwan steers the goals of the king and finds himself intertwined with the royal court’s power struggles is thrilling and exciting. Beyond its unique premise and historical themes, it’s not afraid to lean into comedy and humor in order to keep the viewers invested in its story.
Tinted With You is a BL K-drama based on a web drama called Nobleman Ryu's Wedding. Reminiscent of the time travel K-dramaSplash, Splash, Love, where the female lead travels back in time and is discovered by the Crown Prince, Tinted With You plays out similarly, also being relatively short at 10 minutes per episode.
6 'The Forbidden Marriage' Directed by Kim Sang-hwi and Yoon Sung-sik Close The Forbidden Marriage is set in the Joseon dynasty, following the marriage ban enacted by King Lee Heon after losing his wife to suicide, though he believes her to have been murdered. Despite this ban, scammer Ye So-rang runs a marriage compatibility business.
Bossam: Steal the Fate is another South Korean historical rom-com with an air of mystery and intrigue. It examines an interesting and unexplored concept of bossaming, which then develops into an interesting plot of what happens when someone kidnaps the wrong person. Plot aside, the characters were also very compelling, with the male lead, Ba-woo, having a good amount of depth to his character. Likewise, the politics in the show helped pick up the pace.
Lovers of the Red Sky is one of the best historical Korean K-dramas that is rooted deeply in the fantasy genre. Some fantasy-driven Korean historical K-dramas include Gu Family Book, Faith, and Goblin. However, this is one of few that introduces mythology into the mix, creating a somewhat tense love story, especially knowing that Cheon-ki received the gift of sight due to Ha-Ram losing it.
