K-Drama 
Late 19th Century - 2010s CH | HK | TW Dramas PTW
NOTE: List is under construction
2026 has showered us with a good amount of amazing retro dramas already and the amounts of them compelled me to create this list. I always felt that late qing to 90s shows deserved a separate list than the period and contemporary lists I had created. Further, post 20th century shows set in 2000s and 2010s will also be included due to them being as nostalgic.
