I don't know about a "huge" selection of Asian dramas on Netflix (I check periodically), but I did see my first Kdrama on Netflix, "Faith--The Great Doctor." I watched it over and over for about a month. I've been seriously hooked ever since. That was more than four years ago. Since then, I have been to KCON LA and I just LOVE Asian dramas. I can't get enough of them, especially historical dramas. Somehow they are so much more intriguing and interesting than other dramas I have been able to find on Netflix. After the first couple of Kdramas ("Boys Over Flowers"--S.Korea version--was the second big hit for me), I searched the internet to find out everything I could and subsequently subscribed to Dramafever.com and Viki.com and dropped Netflix because I no longer watched it. I have found a few other streaming websites, but they don't seem to be legit since they keep changing all the time, i.e. kissasian (offensive advertising but HD quality once you got into the drama--now shut down), dramacool, dramanice, etc.
I guess it would be nice if Netflix got a lot more of the current (and past) Asian dramas. I might even re-subscribe to Netflix and watch them all there as long as they could maintain good quality and availability.

I just finished King Geunchogo and it was definitely worth watching.This was a very good historical drama. The beginning was good, but I thought that the last half was the best. Most of the actors were excellent although a few could have been a bit better. Even though it is long, it is a great story and the ending was unique and worthwhile. I rated it 8.5 out of 10.

I will mention one thing that drove me crazy while watching this on Dramafever--someone needs to learn how to use contractions in English! It was very annoying to have every word possible made into a contraction. Just because you can create a contraction, doesn't mean you should. There were many places in the translation that the contractions were inappropriate and made the reading of subtitles very slow and disjointed.

I'm a little concerned about watching this since so any people are complaining about the horrible shouting--although it did get fairly good ratings. ??
Is it better to watch King Geun Cho Go?

This is on Dramafever.com right now. I'm really craving a new historical drama so I hope I won't be too disappointed. I'm just going to give it a try. I'll let you know what I think. Thanks!

Good and interesting drama. Kept you thinking. I liked the actors--Good chemistry. Maybe a little too melancholy with a few bright moments here and there. I think it needs less "sad" music and more upbeat scenes overall. (The music in a drama makes such a significant impact when "telling" the story. Somehow the music choices seemed lacking to me.) I still rated it 8 out of 10.

After some of the comments here, I surprisingly really liked this movie. The actors were good and adorable. I liked the actors a lot ((Gong Yoo) from "Coffee Prince," (Im Su Jung) from "I'm Sorry, I love You" and "Chicago Typewriter" (all favorite dramas--seriously!)
It was a good story with a few life messages. The ending was good and I would watch it again. My only complaint is that the picture quality on Viki.com was not very clear. I gave it a rating of 7.8 out of 10. You should watch it (:

Hi. Just saw your post. Empress Ki is highly rated and one of my all-time favorites. It's on my must-watch list. Don't wait. Watch it now (:

Definitely worth watching! Such a good and cute drama-- just like real life with lots of ups and downs and worth it. Make sure you keep watching past the advertising at the end. This drama has one of the best endings I have seen. Really good actors, acting and good storyline. Congratulations to all involved. Great job -- fighting!

This was a good drama. Good chemistry between the male and female leads. It was a bit confusing in places, but good until the end. I love Yoon Shi Yoon and the main actress was perfect. I thought they could have done a little better job with the grandfather having alzheimers. It seemed just a bit off and not all that interesting--although I think it could be. I love watching sweet, endearing, sassy elderly actors in dramas. Reminds me of my grandparents. (Miss Granny is one of the best dramas I have ever watched! You should go see it right now if you haven't already!) I rated this an 8.2 because of the actors. Good ending.

I love this drama sooo much. I think about it all the time. I recommend it to all my friends and love watching it over with them. The story is good and the actors are so cute!!

Excellent movie. Amazing actors (two of my favorites from "To the Beautiful You" and "You Who Came from the Stars." Top ratings (9.5 out of 10)--just added to my "favorite movies " list. Worth watching every minute.

I think it was better overall until the last 2 or 3 episodes then it lost it's momentum and dynamics. (Loved the music though,)

Do you mean "Moon Lovers" by any chance? I thought that drama was a bit slow.

I didn't resent Yeok--I resented the storywriter/director for not doing more at the end with a beautiful story. I think if you're going to tell a story of sacrifice, at least make it obviously outstanding at the end.

I thought this drama became a bit disjointed the last few episodes and I really didn't care for the ending even though I love elderly people in historical dramas but alive and interacting with each other. I prefer seeing people continuing on in their lives, even if it has to be a struggle together, but death leaves no more hope for a present or future. The ending did not feel satisfactory nor inspiring. There was too much left out of the story and only the sad suggestion of everything that they missed together in their (separated) lives. So what if they died together--it does not leave me satisfied!

This was a really good drama until the last 2 or 3 episodes. It became a bit disjointed and while it was okay, I really didn't care for it. Let's just say not my favorite ending with mixed feelings. The music was really good and the actors were overall excellent! For that I rated this between 8.2 and 8.5 out of 10.

I first saw Joo Won in "Baker King, Kim Tak Goo"--it's still one of my favorite dramas, and "Bridal Mask" was excellent (although the torture scenes were a bit too much for me). I'll watch anything with Joo Won in it. I hope "My Sassy Girl (v 2017)" is worthwhile--otherwise it would be such a waste of good talent.

This is a very good movie. It reminds me a bit of one of my all-time favorite historical war movies called "Red Cliff" (which has two parts). If I had seen this movie first it might have taken first place on my list--but it's close and it is definitely worth watching! I rated it 9 out of 10.

You were soooo good in Chicago Typewriter! Loved every moment. I am looking forward to seeing more of your films and dramas. Take care.

Thank you. It would be nice if they would indicate that some way in the title.

Excellent drama--worth watching over and over again. Another one to add to my "top favorites" list. The acting was great and the way the storyline was depicted was very unique and memorable. I liked that it was based on many true facts and I really appreciated the information given at the end of the drama for historical purposes. I'll never forget this drama and the men and women who fought/fight for the principles of good to benefit the people of their country as well as all of mankind who are trying to make this world a better place for everyone and not just greedy for themselves. Excellent drama and also loved the music! Thank you to everyone for all your hard work! Daebak!! (I rated this 10 out of 10.)
