My List for Historical K-Drama 1. My Country : The New Age 2. Rebel : Thief who stole The People 3. Six Flying Dragon 4. Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo
That's pretty new released, but Jewel in the palace, Jumong and Empress K are one of the top historical drama I say. Scarlet heart and Kingdom are pretty good too.
10. Fengshui 9. The Fortress 8. KUNDO-Age of Rampant 7. The Great Battle 6. The Throne 5. War of the Arrow 4. The Face Reader 3. The King n the Clown 2. Masquerade 1. Roaring Current
Great selection of Korea's finest cinema. I truly love "The Admiral: Roaring Currents," and "The Great Battle." Both films depicted epic struggles between tiny elements of Korea's military (13 ships under Admiral Yi Sun Shin in the former and 5,000 men commanded by Yang Manchun in the latter) against not only juggernaut size forces (the 0ver 300 strong Japanese fleet and the 200,000 Tang Dynasty soldiers for each movie), but also facing obstacles from within their own country. And, the grand scale of both films, combined with the brilliant display of military/political strategy and tactics, really was a feast for the eyes. I also find that Korea's great masterpiece "Tae Guk Gi (Brotherhood of War)" (2001), is one of the greatest historical movies of all time, with its profound plot of two brothers thrust into the horrors of war who are equally shaped by it, being witnesses to some of the most important events of the Korean War.
@@valpercinabanalan8576 plz chech it out, that is real history of korea jumong is the 1st emperor of koguryo and 1stfemale doctor of an emperor in korea.
In UK, these types of films are known as costume drama or period drama - interesting. I first fell in love with Korean period drama with the weekly instalments of 'The Jewel in the Palace' late on Sunday evenings on New Zealand television, broadcast on a private tv channel. Then I came across 'Masquerade', which I really enjoyed - great story and acting by lead character - thankfully, with English subtitles. I've subscribed.
When watching movies I look for good story/screen script, good acting and directing. I am in USA, and do not speak Korean Here are my “all time” Korean drama movies favorites 1 - Emperor Wang Guhn (also known as Taejo Wang Geon (2002 TV series) 200 episodes= actor Choi Soo-jong 2 - Jumong 3 - Emperor of the Sea 2004 tv series 51 episode = actor Choi Soo-jong 4 - The Great Jang-Geum (also known as Jewel in the Palace) = actress Lee Yeong-ae 5 - Immortal Admiral Yi Sun-sin =2004 - 2005 about 104 episodes = yes about Turtle ships. Actor Kim Myung-min 6 - The Admiral: Roaring Currents 7 - The Fortress 8 - The Great Battle 9 - War of the Arrow 10 - Kingdom of the Wind There are plenty more very good dramas, but those here I like the most
Most of the mentioned action drama I've watched it. It is really good and interesting, if you did not watch yet the 1. King gwangaeto ( the great conqueror of korea) 2.Queen seon duk ( empress cheon chu) 3.six fying dragoons 4 deep rooted ( rebel) 5 musa 6 jumong 7princess jam myung go I FORGOTTEN the others
I just watched "princess and the matchmaker" and almost all historical kdramas and was looking for more THANKYOU FOR THIS VIDEO I JUST LOVE HISTORICAL GENRE
Yi Sun-Sin is the Nimitz or Nelson of his time! My number one of this list is "War of the Arrows". I think Korea makes better movies than any other country at this time because of the real sincerity. When their heart breaks, your heart breaks.
Personnally I enjoyed Memories of the sword and Assassination the most. I have also a soft spot for Monstrum but it's a mix between historical and fantasy, but it was really entertaining and with a good cast.
War of the Arrows is amazing. The last 20 minutes that shows the two lead actors chasing each other through a forest while shooting arrows non stop at each other will keep you on the edge of your seat.
I have watches three of these movies and as far as I'm concerned all three deserve the number one spot. The Great battle, War of the Arrows and The Admiral. These movies would have broken the box office where I live ( USA )
I thought I was the only one who felt that way, about the Movie, The Admiral: Roaring Currents....You watch this Movie you won't stay in your seat....Your list is Top Draw, I would have gave the almost same List....Great Job on the picks.
The Throne is one of my favorite historical Korean movies. I'll suggest these three too : Warriors of the Dawn, Forbidden Dream and The King's Letters.
The best thing in The Great Battle is how the camera panned in to each character fighting like in video games, really enjoy it. Bonus point for making the night battle viewable.
My fav korean drama was dong yi and the reason i fell in love with historical drama.. Other favs; Empress ki Queen seok dok(not sure of spelling) Scarlet heart Moon embracing the sun Jang geum Crash landing on you And all lee min ho dramas
The only movie i watched here was the war of the arrow and it was great. I can't imagine the other movies. Gonna watch it all soon. Thank you, i love historical korean movie because of that one movie i watched.
I was introduced to Korean Drama back in 2009. The drama is Dr Hur Jun. I was hooked on the drama and learnt many life's lessons from the story. The acting and the story line were first class.
Some of the most stunning korean dramas in my opinion , I am going to write them down 1. Dae Jo yong 2.Joumng 3. The immortal Yi Sun-Shin 4. Queen Seon Deok 5. Emperor Wang gun
@@samanthasharman36 Yes, I watched it a few times and caught some things I missed, I think they were speaking in an older dialect so the subtitles were a bit choppy. Nevertheless it was my very favorite!
#1 the masquerade because of the act really amazing, #2 the great battle love everything about the story actions the cast thx Eon learn a a lot abt korean story can't wait to visit :)
The crowned clown drama was the same as The masquerade movie and the plot was based on on true events .i didn't saw the movie but I saw the drama starring yeo jin goo and it was mind-blowing.
Having watched a lot of Kdrama(and i always read up on real history) i knew he must be Sado because i recognized his fathers name but i did think it odd they were calling him Seja...
I was able to watch the following movie fengshui, face reader, throne , masquerade, kundo of age of rampant, the king and the clown and my 3 most favorite historical movie were 1. war of arrows, 2. the great battle and 3. the admiral the roaring currents
Kingdom-Ashin of the north.....though it's categorized as a "Special Episode",I would like to call it as...Historical(period and locations), mythological, horror,thriller MOVIE(PART of a movie series)...
Coincidentally, I just watched Masquerade last night again, it’s really good. I’ve seen a few on this list. I really like historical dramas and movies.
I loved the "King and the Clown" and "Masquerade." They were were phenomenal. I so agree with your 10 best recommended movies. Though, I never saw "The Admiral". Now I will have to see it based on your recommendations. Thank You for this post.
10. Fengshui 9. The Fortress 8. Kundo Age of The Rampant 7. The Great Battle 6. The Throne 5. War of The Arrows 4. The Face Reader 3. The King and The Clown 2. Masquarade 1. The Admiral Roaring Currents
Thank you for your review. I was kind of fascinated by the TV series Kingdom So I was looking for another one. Huge thanks for this. Take love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩
Hi Eontalk.. would you send the list of other movies made by the director? I didnt quite get some you mentioned or would u type the title when u mention it on ur nxt vdeos? Thanks..
I love Korean historical films but I am at a loss without English Subtitles. Yes, I started watching FengShui, but I could not follow it. I read the reviews and I really want to watch it.
The admiral is always the first for me. As a big fan of historical movies this has been my fave...lost count on how many times ive watche ld this...This movie is Epic
I will put 'The Throne' as number 1, 'The Sword with No Name' as number 2. Masquerade is actually a good film, but I don't like the scene when the fake king pooped in front of many servants, and his poop was eaten by his doctor, omg it is so disturbing! The King and the Clown is good but easy to forget. Anyway, thanks for this recommendation.

For anyone who enjoyed Masquarade - there is a pretty recent drama adaptation of it. It's called "The crowned clown" and is really good as well ☺️
Sorry fam, where can i watch masquerade
@Cece Amper Amper It's a series 😊
@@cbants1371 The show is on Viki I am not sure about the movie though - maybe youtube or dailymotion 🙈
@@lena__speaking7080 oh, is masquerade a shoe
@@cbants1371 No it's a movie :) But the crowned clown is a show (it's basically the story made into a series) 😊
My no.1 is Masquerade of LEE BYUNG HUN he played the role perfectly
1 Jumong
2 Jewel in the Palace
My top korean historical drama
Agree Jumong definitely d best for me..
Yes jewel in the Palace! I remember skipping classes just to watch it! Omg it gave me a passion for cooking
huh' a tv romance drama series, you know that's not even a real Historical Korean
@@valpercinabanalan8576 plz chech it out, that is real history of korea jumong is the 1st emperor of koguryo and 1stfemale doctor of an emperor in korea.
@@joelmontealegre.banaco1224 ah Nope' cause it's not like what happens in history. It's just a romance TV series
For d drama, anyone that hasn't watched Jumong and Empress Ki, then u have not started.
Empress Ki was a great movie also but no one can leave out Train to Busan a totally assume movie.
six frying dragon
Jumonggg
@@mgagapaz6801 Just finished Six flying Dragon. But I had to go back to revisit Ep. 1.
Alot more made sense.
I saw that, it was good too.
I love Historical epics. The genre is dead in Hollywood, but we frequently see amazing epics from South Korea.
Lee byung hun always played perfect.. He's the reason why I started watching Korean drama 😘😘😘
For me the reason behind watching korean series and drama is Song Joong Ki,
He is really the best actor,cute, innocent and smart personality
I agree

Nobody's mentioning "A Frozen Flower". It's an absolutely underrated gem. Great story and direction.
It’s an amazing movie.
Right
yeah one of the best
War of Arrows, my favorite thus far. Must see a few of the others. Great video. Very informative.

Yi Sun-Sin is the Nimitz or Nelson of his time! My number one of this list is "War of the Arrows". I think Korea makes better movies than any other country at this time because of the real sincerity. When their heart breaks, your heart breaks.
Honestly speaking, I have never enjoyed watching Korean movies until Eon shared the list. Thank you
I agree with you 👍🏼
Personnally I enjoyed Memories of the sword and Assassination the most. I have also a soft spot for Monstrum but it's a mix between historical and fantasy, but it was really entertaining and with a good cast.
I love Korean historical movies and tv series. This list is a gift! Thank you so much!

Recommend few more
The Throne is one of my favorite historical Korean movies. I'll suggest these three too : Warriors of the Dawn, Forbidden Dream and The King's Letters.
The Throne was it developed from a novel?
I do agree for the rank no 1 movie, the admiral..It's a great movie with the great actors. 👏👏
The best thing in The Great Battle is how the camera panned in to each character fighting like in video games, really enjoy it. Bonus point for making the night battle viewable.
I loved Masquerade too. Hands down. I liked the film The Last Princess also
The Last Princess is heartbreaking and tear-jerker.
1, the great battle
2,the admiral roaring current
3,war of arrows
4,The throne
5,the fortress
I watched Masquerade on Amazon Prime in the US. It was so good and so far my favorite historical movie.
My fav korean drama was dong yi and the reason i fell in love with historical drama..
Other favs;
Empress ki
Queen seok dok(not sure of spelling)
Scarlet heart
Moon embracing the sun
Jang geum
Crash landing on you
And all lee min ho dramas
Same dong yi still the best historical drama ever for me
You didn't name 1 movie. Otherwise, they are great dramas.
My favorite , in which Park bo gum best rookie role. The Admiral: Roaring current.. This movie is a great movie. 👏 Hey, you should watch 👍
Hey do you know where we could watch this?? Amazon Prime just removed it and now I can't find it anywhere😭in the U.S., not even on illegal sites
The only movie i watched here was the war of the arrow and it was great. I can't imagine the other movies. Gonna watch it all soon. Thank you, i love historical korean movie because of that one movie i watched.
MY favourite genre! Thanks for the wonderful reccomendation and congrats on the 100k! (almost there now!Been watching since 40k now.)
I was introduced to Korean Drama back in 2009. The drama is Dr Hur Jun. I was hooked on the drama and learnt many life's lessons from the story. The acting and the story line were first class.
The Brotherhood of War,My Way, 71 into the fire, etc..
Korean war movies are EXCELLENT!
Some of the most stunning korean dramas in my opinion , I am going to write them down
1. Dae Jo yong
2.Joumng
3. The immortal Yi Sun-Shin
4. Queen Seon Deok
5. Emperor Wang gun
What site we can watch "The Immortal Yi Shun Shin"?
@@joonsangryu8883 I'm from Philippines. I'll check that. Thank u!
Mr. Sunshine was the absolute best!
Wasn't a Movie
agree🙂
Just finished it and might watch it all over again. The best series I have watched in a long time.
@@samanthasharman36 Yes, I watched it a few times and caught some things I missed, I think they were speaking in an older dialect so the subtitles were a bit choppy. Nevertheless it was my very favorite!
A Netflix drama
Thanks to this video I watched Masquerade and Fortress (I had already watched some of the movies in the list).Lee Byung Hun is just brilliant.
Where can we watch Masquerade with English subtitles??
could you share a bigger list, I like Korean historical movies. They are well crafted both with stories and stunning visuals.
Yi-sun-sin is the best of all time ❤️
I waited to see this video and I am satisfied that MASQUERADE is given #2. Loved the movie, loved the performances.
Masquerade was So Awesome!❤
Now I'm gonna watch Rest of these! Starting from The Face Reader!😇😇
Song Kang-Ho😍
#1 the masquerade because of the act really amazing, #2 the great battle love everything about the story actions the cast thx Eon learn a a lot abt korean story can't wait to visit :)
You better have "Forbidden Dream" in the top 10. And I am sure that "The Throne" will be number one on the list. Looking forward to.
The crowned clown drama was the same as The masquerade movie and the plot was based on on true events .i didn't saw the movie but I saw the drama starring yeo jin goo and it was mind-blowing.
I do watch Jumong and i still have the cds of it. I find it interesting more coz it's story is the beginning of Gogoryo which is Korea now.
Please can give me link of jumong movie 🙏
I was eagerly waiting for it.
Historical dramas and movies are the BEST
just finished watching Masquerade. Was worth it. Beautifully filmed
djent communion where do you watch
This is a great list and The Masquerade is my number 1 choice. Admiral was great but it’s like another war movie.
Jumong & Ballad of Seodong, my favourites, both are awesome and classic.
My personal top 3
1 The Throne
2 Masquerade
3 The admiral
love that style of movies
Regarding The Throne (2015), I thought the word Seja is a korean word means the crown prince. And this is the story of the crowd prince Sado.
Having watched a lot of Kdrama(and i always read up on real history) i knew he must be Sado because i recognized his fathers name but i did think it odd they were calling him Seja...
I was able to watch the following movie fengshui, face reader, throne , masquerade, kundo of age of rampant, the king and the clown and my 3 most favorite historical movie were 1. war of arrows, 2. the great battle and 3. the admiral the roaring currents
Kingdom-Ashin of the north.....though it's categorized as a "Special Episode",I would like to call it as...Historical(period and locations), mythological, horror,thriller MOVIE(PART of a movie series)...
Whaaat? I would have expected to see A Frozen Flower among the best Korean historical movies; nonetheless, I do like your top 10.
'The Royal Tailor' & 'The Last Princess' are good too..
I hope there will be MORE historical movies to come!
Kingdom Netflix
@@sachinkhose2000 Yes what about it?

Yayyy finally! Thank you Eon! You’re the best! 💕

War of arrows is truly amazing. A must watch.

This is what i've been looking....wow....thank you so much finally i've found this
I have already watch all of this movies..its great
on which website can i download it from?
Great list. On which website can I download these movies?
I love Korean historical films but I am at a loss without English Subtitles. Yes, I started watching FengShui, but I could not follow it. I read the reviews and I really want to watch it.
I always enjoy your video. :) Thanks for making such fun and interesting content!
Tnx really appreciate it... Also mention if there are online medium where we can watch these
Thank you for Recommendations :)
The Owl is really a good movie worth watching to add into your listing. Treacherous and Frozen Flower were interesting.
i believe Jumong, God of War, Dong Yi, Kingdom of the Wind was by far one of the best historical movies made.
God of War isn't a Korean movie. It is Chinese and the Korean God of War is a series. So it wouldn't make the list.
War of the arrows & The admiral: roaring currents my favourite. 👍
All of them will be on my list.
The admiral is always the first for me. As a big fan of historical movies this has been my fave...lost count on how many times ive watche ld this...This movie is Epic
Next best fantasy korean movies and movies based on true events plzz. Love ur videos.
Great.much needeed n awaited episode.
Hi...i love the way you said the actor's name...i have watched 8 of that 10 movie, thank you for your recomendation, hope the best for your channel

Masquerade is actually a good film, but I don't like the scene when the fake king pooped in front of many servants, and his poop was eaten by his doctor, omg it is so disturbing!
