My Country: The New Age

Both of them have that same “fighting for” a certain definition of “my country” and what’s most important to them individually

They are both set in the early Joseon period. Both have large scale battles with a lot of violence and blood and with multiple heirs to the throne. Both have some kind of ''intervals'' inbetween that are usually followed again by intense and action packed scenes , and also thriller in Joseon's Exorcist case. Joseon Exorcist takes place after Prince Bang Won ascends to the throne, whereas in My country he is still fighting for the throne, meaning that one could say that in My country:The New Age could be considered a prequel, to some extent.

Both are historical dramas formed around the theme of two friends fighting one another during a period of political change. These two former friends also have their eyes set on the same woman.

If you can't get enough of Jang Hyuk in My Country, then Chuno is your most obvious next destination. He has several other sageuk under his belt, but Chuno has been the best of them. Enjoy!

Every episode in these two series are like watching movies. Filmed beautifully, complex characters, strong competent leads. There is fighting, romance, drama. High quality dramas.
