Description

Sarah and Grace tackle the first in a planned series of episodes covering Korean History for fans of KDramas. We discuss the first "Korean" nations, starting with Gojoseon, then working our way through the Three Kingdoms period, touching on Unified/Late Silla, and concluding with the short-lived Later Three Kingdoms. We also talk about historical (aka sageuk) KDramas set in these various periods, including ones we both have and have not watched.
