__INDEX__ This page lists historical Korean tv series. '''I started this list more than a year ago, but unfortunately hadn't enough time to finish it. Although it is still very incomplete some may find this helpful. -- MoerkJ talk'''

Introduction
Cliff notes from the Sageuk (사극) and Taeha (대하) dramas discussion thread in the D-Addicts forum:

The intention of this page was to have a list of historical dramas which can also be sorted by historical period, drama type (e.g. daeha, sageuk, etc.), air date, etc.

Historical Dramas (main table)
The list below was created using various internet sources, see links. Most of the older dramas, marked with (mrX), are from MisterX's Sageuk DB

Note#1: for some more unchecked dramas see section below Note#2: some dramas in the sections at the bottom of this page are not in the list, yet. Note#3: period dramas playing in the 20th century are listed separately. Note#4: some fantasy dramas are listed in a separate table because they seem to be too fictional.

20th century period dramas
This is a list of dramas which cover recent historical events, some may be purely fictional.

Fantasy dramas with historical setting
List of dramas that are too fictional to be regarded historical dramas.

More dramas (pre-sorted)
