Damo
I have started watching Korean period drama "Damo" from [livejournal.com profile] meganbmoore’s recommendation and it is an absolute classic.

Short synopsis: 17 century Korea: Chae-Ok was separated from her brother in infancy, after their father was accused of treason. She was taken as a servant into a rich house where she met "a son of mistress", Hwangbo. As they grew and learned martial arts together Hwangbo replaced for her the lost brother. When Hwangbo joins Police and becomes a Commander, he takes Chae-Ok with him as a tea-serving officer (HEE! They had tea-serving officers in Korean Police :D). Later Chae-Ok meets charismatic rebel, Sung-Baek.

Damo is great in many different ways:

- Fabulous trio of main characters

- Storylines that make a lot of sense, move fast and no less engaging and interesting then any of big-screen films, and not only in the romance part of it.

- Love story to die for.

- Commander Hwando who is a paragon of masculinity, reserve and passion

See: Beards? What beards? I don’t notice any!!!:



Damo Picspam: this is so like House of Flying Daggers )

Ireland
I have also started watching Korean drama "Ireland" with Hyun Bin (because he is fabulous beyond any words) and he is so cute and young and everything else in it, but Spoilers for Ireland’s ending )
