there is Chinese and Japanese on the list as well. The list is open to other countries, too; what you are seeing…
The country where the series was produced. I'm aware that there is much borrowing between story-lines between countries. In the two cases that you mention, the historical characters were actual persons. Whether or not they are borrowed from a novel, the setting / events / persons adapted are historical for the country/time in which the drama takes places. I hope this helps to clear up the matter :)

"Empress Ki" and "The Red Sleeve" should be removed from the list too :https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toghon_Temürhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeongjo_of_Joseon
Thanks! I'm still working through the list... :) I should be done with the changes tonight and will send a message to the HDC forums. :)
Re: Production quality. Agreed. The color palette of the series is quite distinctive (grey/blue/black; grey/brown/black) and gives the series its emotional undertone, IMO. The focus is on the actions and the words and the seriousness of the situation, so I was happy to see that the setting and clothing reflected that.

I don't re-watch, as a rule. But then again, there is the ep -25 - 52 section of Nirvana In Fire, so... ;)
