You should mention the top 2 or top 3, only mentioning the 1st doesn't help since the AoL fans went berserk & voted it in Every F@ing Category!!! :D (No offence meant to the fans, I'm sure it's a great drama, I just don't think it should be in every category, cause this makes the poll meaningless & totally useless...)
I'm so looking forward to watching Haechi and Legend of White Snake, that are both already licenced on Viki, but I still have hope for the other historicals as well!!
Since you like Chinese historical dramas, you should start with some of the classic sageuks like Jumong, Queen…
Lol these are all excellent dramas, that just happen to have hot male leads. I would appreciate them the shame without them, but the eye candy was like the cherry on top!!

Historical k-dramas with older looking or/and hotter male characters in my opinion: Jumong, Dae Jo Yeong (have only found some episodes on youtube till now but looks good), The Kingdom of the Winds, Chuno (hot shirtless guys!), Rebel (not the protagonist, but all the other guys), Six Flying Dragons (Ddang Sae is the hottest one imo, but there are others), Warrior Baek Dong Soo (the older guys/mentors are good, but the two boys are so beautiful that you'll forget you're not supposed to like boyish leads), Queen In Hyun's Man, Queen Seon Duk, Faith.
Thanks for this list. I'm still fairly new to Asian dramas. Started watching them sometime last year, and my first…

Why don't you make this a feature of kisskh?? I think it would be a brilliant idea!! Just start by enabling voting for "moods" for each drama/movie listed (that would work similarly to rating). Then after enough opinions were gathered for database purposes, a "mood ring" would appear on everyone's profile, where we could get suggestions for what show to watch according to our current mood!! ...Or it could simply be another meter on each show, next to "Genres" and "Tags": "Moods" popularly associated with each drama/movie entry.
I like most of your points, but I totally disagree about the many-episodes dramas not binge-worthy!! In fact, I don't like binge-watching -20 ep dramas, cause they end way too soon (and usually they're not that engaging to me). I like watching around 10 episodes a day and most of the dramas take me 3-6 days to finish, less than that and I would feel the loss in my bones, lol! Especially if it's a drama I enjoyed thouroughly, when they finish I feel like nothing can replace them (do I need therapy? lol)!!
Ashes of Love is one of the best dramas this year - period! However, I wish that some of the other dramas also…
That's exactly my point!! I get it that people love Ashes of Love, and I feel it's a great romantic drama, but people should stop voting it first in ALL categories just for the sake of it winning, even though a category may be irrelevant for it!! (For example, Wuxia/Xianxia category. Ashes of Love is a good Romance, but definitely not a good Wuxia/XianXia, especially when there are dramas like Ever Night out there!! Heck, even Flame's Daughter was a very good Wuxia despite the kind of lousy writing & casting choices, but it never made it into the category, but AoL did?!)
