I absolutely love Korean drama, and I recently finished Hong Gil Dong. It's a story that takes place in the distant past of Korea and Hong Gil Dong becomes a Robin Hood of sorts. It's been called a "fusion" drama, because it's not exactly your ordinary historical drama. It uses a lot of modern elements of culture and sometimes technology.
It's also unusual because the writers are able to blend hysterical comedy, great action, tender romance, and tragedy all together, without it feeling strained or fake. Sometimes all of those things in the same episode. And they pull it off so well. That kind of amazes me.
I love so many things about this drama. It's definitely worth the watch. So enjoy the fan made music video someone put together, to give you a tiny taste of the show.
p.s. You can find this show on mysoju (I love the quality and the subs, but apparently some of them aren't working quite right), crunchyroll (the quality isn't as good, neither are the subs, but they have full working episodes up until the second to last one) or on aznv.tv/en (you need winamp and you need to know how to play soft subs)
