What are the recommended Korean historical novels?

I'd recommend 'The Kingdom of the Winds'. It has a great storyline set in a historical backdrop with interesting characters.

Historical Korean novels often have a strong sense of place. They vividly depict the landscapes, architecture, and daily life in different historical periods of Korea. For example, descriptions of traditional Korean houses, markets, and festivals.

One characteristic is their focus on family and social hierarchies. In many Korean historical novels, family relations play a big role, and the strict social hierarchies of the time are depicted. For example, in novels set in the Joseon dynasty, the relationship between the royalty, the aristocrats and the commoners is often explored.

I recommend the following Korean classical hero novels and historical legends: 1. " Young Master Han of the Qin Dynasty ": He traveled through the end of the Warring States Period and became the useless prince of the weakest Korea. However, the useless prince rose up one day. He did not seek to overturn the world, but at least he had a clear conscience. 2. " Yan Qi Dong Fang ": Reborn in the Warring States Period, incarnated as the son of King Zhao of Yan, Ji Fu. It was the peak of the Yan Kingdom. However, the truth of history was not written in the history books. There were undercurrents between the countries. This era became even more glorious because of a transmigrator who was interested in the history of the Warring States Period. 3. A 400-year-old dynasty had finally ushered in its doomsday. In just a few short years, heroes rose up and the sea flowed. This was the era of heroes, a brilliant era. This era did not belong to any period of history, but you could see the shadow of every period of history here. I hope you like my recommendation.

Korean historical BL novels often feature detailed historical settings. For example, they might be set in the Joseon Dynasty, with accurate descriptions of the clothing, architecture, and social norms of that time. The strict Confucian values and class hierarchies play a big role in shaping the relationships in these novels.

They often have a strong sense of place. For example, they vividly describe the palaces, streets, and landscapes of different historical periods in Korea like the Joseon Dynasty. The characters usually follow the social hierarchies of the time, which adds authenticity.

They usually have complex characters who are influenced by the values and constraints of their historical times. These characters often face moral dilemmas related to the historical context, like loyalty to the king in a feudal system.

Korean historical romance novels often feature complex family relationships. In the Joseon Dynasty - centered stories, family honor and duty play a big role. For example, in many novels, a character's marriage is not just about love but also about the family's status.

Another great example is 'The Story of Hong Gildong'. This novel has been very influential in Korean literature. It tells the story of a Robin - Hood - like figure, Hong Gildong, who fights against the unjust social hierarchy in the Joseon era.

😋I recommend "Let's Be in Love, Long-legged Oppa" to you! This was a romantic youth-youth campus novel. It told the story of Xia Yunxi, an exchange student, who was pursued by the overbearing Han Shengxuan during her school life in Korea. He even stole her first kiss, and their love story began after that. I hope you like this fairy's recommendation. Muah~
