I’m trying to remember as I’m writing this and I’m sure I’m bound to forget some, but let’s see ….
Finished:
– Queen Seon-deok
– Tree With Deep Roots
– Six Flying Dragons
– Arang and the Magistrate
– Dong Yi
– The Moon That Embraces The Sun
– Seven Day Queen
– Jewel In The Palace
– Dr. Jin
– Faith
– Kim Su-ro
– Hwajung (finished it after dropping it for a couple of episodes)
Dropped:
– Saimdang, Memoir of Colors
– Jang Ok-jun
– Gu Family Book
– Shine or Go Crazy
– The Great Seer
– Moon Lovers
– Hwarang
– Sword and Flower
I just finished Dong Yi! Also, how weird is it that the King is never addressed by his name by anyone even when Dong Yi knew him as the Justice Officer?
And I can’t believe that Geum/King Yeongjo who had Dong Yi and King Sukjong as such wise and loving parents would grow up to be such a stern father towards Crown Prince Sado.
Love your taste in sageuks! I have so much to catch up on.
My list:
Finished:
Queen Seondeok
Dong Yi
Moonlight Drawn By Clouds
The Moon That Embraces the Sun
Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo (what a mess but Lee Jun Ki was amazing here)
Hwarang (another mess but I loved Park Hyung Sik’s acting especially in his scenes with Kim Ji Soo, the actress who played his mother.)
Arang and the Magistrate
Faith
Sungkyunkwan Scandal
Painter of the Wind
Hwang Jini
Dropped:
Cruel Palace – War of Flowers
On-hold:
Jumong (Started watching it a few weeks ago before Dong Yi. Not not sure why but I’m finding it a bit draggy…Perhaps I’ve been spoiled by the cliffhangers and breakneck pace of Queen Seondeok.)
Sounds like you’ve watched a huge part of his filmography! Would you believe this is actually my first Ji Jin Hee drama? I didn’t finish He Who Can’t Marry. What would you recommend? Besides Jewel in the Palace, I’m definitely gonna watch that after this. I can’t believe the director is in his 70s. I just want him to live forever so he can create more Dong Yis and Jewel in the Palaces.
Well Dong Yi is not a bad way to start for a first Ji Jin-hee drama! So, yay! 🙂
I haven’t really watched him in that many dramas actually. I think I’ve only seen him in Jewel in the Palace, Dong Yi, parts of Take Care of Us Captain, A Warm Word and Misty. I tried watching The Great Seer, but even he couldn’t save it. I dropped it after one or two episodes.
Have fun watching Jewel in the Palace! A classic!

Have you watched Dong Yi?
I’ll always remember this scene especially when he says, “How can I live without you?”
You really feel his anguish.

Yes! I have! Dong Yi is pretty good and it’s one of the few sageuks that I watched all the way through.
He was anguished indeed.

Don’t you find Ji Jin Hee kinda hot?

I have to admit that, yes, he is ….. and more so with each new drama and with each passing year it seems.
The man is aging well.
