It's always confusing with all the different dynasties and each has so many unique costumes.WandereR:
I know what you mean. I haven't even tried finding differences yet because I haven't seen many historical C-Dramas yet and the ones I watched also had fantasy or xianxia/wuxia in it so they were not based on a period.
Articles take a lot of effort, unless we collaborate with other members and publish an editorial piece, that would indeed be awesome
You're right. I would love to collaborate but fear I'm no help. ^^'
I love this idea!!! Something like "HDC Presents: ...", it could be a series of articles!! :DEstelll:
I fully support this idea! *needs to watch more historical dramas*

There are so many possibilities and aspects of historicals and across the 5 countries. Design and formatting of the article also require skills, I'm sure each club member has much talent to help out :)

Hm, considering that I could give input on a Japanese historical drama in Edo period and one from Korea in Goryeo period. ^^

I've been thinking about writing something on gold crowns (and maybe the belts) of Silla. Well it's also kinda about anachronisms and Buddhism (of course, hehe).
Hahaha, you and your anachronisms! But it does sound fascinating indeed :D

That would be awesome. Korean and Japanese history are just as intriguing. I'm not so familiar with J-historicals so that wold be a great learning curve for all of us :)

I would love to join the historical drama club and find good historical drama's to watch.
Welcome, glad to have you with us! ^.^
As for recommendations, the Top Rated & Most Popular MDL dramas section, as well as the Currently Airing section would be a good place to start!
And if I were to share my personal favourites, they're here (most are historicals), but of course, everyone has different tastes, so it depends on what you like to watch. :)

If only finding subs for J-Dramas wouldn't be like gambling.. xD Sticking to K-Dramas is so much easier but I like Edo period and J-Dramas. I should go on a search for some more historical J-Dramas. :)

I might be able to help with Goryeo, if you need it.

If you find some you like, definitely share them with us. :) No one talks about Japanese historicals.

Nice! And you're right, if only J-doramas were as accessible as the others and with full subs too.

I watched JIN (plays in Edo period) and loved it, quite accurate as well. That being said it also has the genre medical which is not everyone's cup of tea. I wholeheartedly recommend it though. It has a Korean remake which I like less because they included a completely unnecessary love triangle in it.
For mature watchers I recommend the movie Sakuran. Has wonderful cinematography and costumes.
Promising titles I'd like to watch are:
- Yae no Sakura
- Rurouni Kenshin (I know the anime adaption, it's good)
- Ryoma den (real person that lived from 1835-1867, is a character in JIN)
- The Tale of Genji (Heian period, there's a famous novel about him, he's a fictional character though)
Yes, it's really a problem. I understand very little Japanese but it's by no means enough to be able to watch without subs.
I'm quite familiar with C and K hostiry but for J history, ironically most of the historicals I've watched are Hollywood productions, such as The Last Samurai and ShoGun. The J movies that I did watch were either probably not historically correct and had elements of fiction, or purely samurai/ ninja action themed rather than a pure historical setting. So far I've seen 13 Assassins, Shinobi, and Zatoichi. I have seen some way older black and white films but those are also samurai movies.
