Amazing Kdamas (that are not in my top 10)

What I considered best of Lee Joon Gi's sageuks, the plot is really engaging and the chemistry of the two leads is very good. I love the world and the fantasy that this drama has created and I really like how the mysteries in the show unfolds. I really enjoyed the drama.  I can't put this in my top faves since I want my sageuks to be either epic or is a masterpiece in telling their story through arts or literature. 

Not in the top 10 list and i can't give higher than 9 because I think this drama would work better of they filmed everything in one go instead of dividing into seasons.

A very excellent drama throughout, the only reason this drama is not on my top dramas list is because I can't stand Bae Soo Bin being rejected by Han Hyo Joo all over again (reminds me of the pain of Brilliant Legacy). Bias aside, the king's love for Dongyi in this show is really beautiful and they have a great chemistry (so its not as annoying as Brilliant Legacy, especially as I actually like the actor playing the king). Han Hyo Joo is a really great actress, she's good at acting these goody-two shoes characters like Dong Yi, I just have a personal annoyance of her always being the good girl because back in Brilliant Legacy (when she played a very similar character) one of my most favorite actresses Moon Chae Won was the second lead and I can't stand people hating her (because when Brilliant Legacy was shown, I was already a fan of Moon Chae Won of Painter of the Wind and I wish people know her more in her sageuk drama than being the imperfect second girl hated by everyone just because she's the rival of the female lead). Bias aside though, Dong Yi is an amazing drama, great story of how righteousness and kindness triumphs over evil. 

it was really amazing but now that i think of it, i don't remember it much. i will rewatch this show to see if it's still great (will judge according to the standards of the year it was released; 2004). 

having finished my rewatch, i still think it's a great drama but i don't think it will be a part of my topmost dramas.

The only reason this isn't on my top 10 list is this isn't a sageuk

Solid plot. I added this one since I find some villains really compelling. Kim Hye Soo acts so well too.
