My Favorite Saeguk Setting
Sageuk dramas hit differently for me,
There’s something about their rich stories, stunning costumes, and heart-fluttering romance that's way better than modern dramas. I love the unspoken emotions, palace intrigue, and beautiful hanbok designs that make every scene unforgettable.
