Recs from my flist

[scottishlass]

Now that I have totally fallen in love with Korean sageuks I want some recs from you all.
So far I have seen Sungkyunkwan Scandal, Queen InHyeon's Man, The Princess Man, Rooftop Prince and of course Faith and Arang & The Magistrate (and if those two don't give me a HEA I'll run amok).

Long time ago I had started Legend, Damo and Iljimae but found them too heavy with too many cast members and just far too long. I love my happy endings, so please rec sageuk dramas between 16 to 20/24 eps long and a happy ending with the main OTP together.

Thank you :)

I second Chuno (also known as Slave Hunters)!

Only 24 eps, OTP ends up together.

It follows three characters - one is Dae Gil, a noble whose house was burned down by slaves and who's since become a slave hunter. He's not a nice person but he is tormented by the memory of Un Nyun, the slave woman he loved (and who loved him) and whom he lost. The other is Tae Ha, a general framed for treason and made a slave who goes on the run to protect the son of his prince. And there is Un Nyun, who has been pretending to be a noblewoman with her brother, who runs away from an arranged marriage and her paths cross with Tae Ha.

I felt pretty sorry for Dae Gil, but I shipped TH/UN like a madwoman. He was so amazing to her - he actually reminded me a lot of Choi Young, now that I think about it. And the whole aristocrate-turned-slave/slave-turned-aristocrat aspect of the OTP really got me.

Have a shippy MV:



I did a short unspoilery rec post here:

I tihnk I will try out Chuno, even though I really don't like Lee Da-Hae ever since her My Girl! times. The only time I really liked her acting and her character was in Robbers.
