Interesting. I am a sageuk fan and 2021 was an excellent year for the sageuk genre. For all that I watched only two on the list: MBC’s THE RED SLEEVE and MBN’s BOSSAM. I dropped RIVER WHERE THE MOON RISES after 4 episodes with the controversy and all. I may return to it.
It’s been a long time since I watched a sageuk. Is RED SLEEVE something you personally recommend? Among the 20 series in the rankings, TAXI DRIVER was the only one I got to finish watching. I’m on episode 11 of Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha but I can’t push myself to continue.
I can recommend both THE RED SLEEVE and BOSSAM: STEAL THE FATE. In TRS both Junho and Lee Se-young were terrific. If I had to choose I think I would give the nod to BOSSSAM. Both dramas received a lot of love here. I give the nod to BOSSAM because I became a fan of Jung In-woo in HEACHI (2019) and he doesn’t disappoint in BOSSAM. This was my first Kwon Yuri drama and she was a delight. I believe it was her first sageuk and she was outstanding. Also Shin Hyun-soo was one of the leads and is one of my favorites. (He looked great in hanbok! I have a couple of pics of SHS on my fan wall).
