The Legend (First king's four gods) : Icons

"The Legend" (or "First King's Four Gods") is one of the best shows I have seen among Western, Asian or other period/fantasy dramas. Unforgettable. I haven't been that much in awe (and true awe, as in AMAZINGLY GOOD TV awe) since "Rome", I think. I'll try to talk about this show in a way it deserves later.. I haven't slept properly last night in a crazy icon spree. :D

But just in short, "The Legend" is one of the best TV shows I have seen because:

- AMAZING world building
- vivid and larger than life characters.
- costumes of fabulousness
- dialogue I want to quote now EVERYWHERE
- cinematography and battle scenes of greatness

Icons are free to share, please let me know if you would like any text added. I don't mind for icons being used elsewhere (not on LJ) but please don't hot-link.

Yes Dae Jang Geum is really long, perhaps as long as Jumong :D But I really liked it. It was my first ever Korean period drama, and I have adored Lee Young Ae ever since ^^ Eventhough there is no kissing, but there is still hugging and piggybacking, LOL. Yes! The Lobbyist! I love it so much. I still have quite a few eps to go, but so far I am loving it to bits. I'm keen to know how you will like it ^^

I think I'll give the longer wuxia pass for now, may be I'll watch this on holidays. I know that these dramas are very popular in Korea - I had a look at the ratings when I was watching "The Legend" and for the last 3 years the most popular dramas in Korea were the longer-running ones.

I see if I can start "Lobbyist" today - I watched "Robbers" yesterday but I didn't really like the main male lead.. :(

Robbers - who is the lead male? I like Lee Da Hae a lot, and was thinking of watching it when the serial is complete already. I rather dislike watching a serial that is not complete yet coz I hate waiting for eps to come out :D

I like her very much too! The male lead is Jang Hyuk - I have "met" a Korean guy I don't particular find attractive , lol.

I have watched Robbers and I agree. Jang Hyuk is... hmmm.. not as appealing as most Korean actors. But he seems to be a very good kisser :D

This is a major plus. :D
