Both Tamra, the Island and The Murky Stream (Takryu) are Korean historical dramas set in the Joseon era, featuring characters who must navigate harsh and challenging social environments shaped by rigid rules, survival struggles, and cultural conflict — Takryu focuses on a former gangster, a righteous official, and others trying to survive and challenge corruption in a lawless setting, while Tamra follows villagers and outsiders dealing with isolationist policies, societal pressures, and personal growth amid hardship, blending historical conflict with character-driven stories of resilience and adaptation even if the tone and genre elements (romance and comedy) differ
they are both Joseon era dramas but not too heavy on the historical parts ; they both have very good looking actors, beautifull images and good soundtrack ; they both are funny and full of emotions at the same time, with great dialogues... try to get past the 1st ep of Tamra and you won't regret it
