Rookie Historian Goo Hae Ryung
(2019 - Netflix, 20 1:10 eps)

So much to explore:

- Female empowerment: This story would have been impossible in the Joseon era. But pursuing a career over family is still a difficult path - so a relevant topic.

- Korean historians created the single longest record of a dynasty in the world. The show explored things that really happened - beheadings, rewritings, treason. Interesting history to read about.

- Catholicism & other Western ideas coming to Korea

- Western medical ideas like stitches & variolation

- Palace intrigue & a dethroned king

The acting from all the characters was on point, & there was good character development. The chemistry between the leads was wonderful. The relationship between the 2 princes is interesting. Costuming & scenery were also beautiful.
