Useful K-Drama Links

[ccwf]

Here's a list of Korean drama resources I compiled for the California board, which I thought might be useful for you folks as well. The list is cobbled together from my own research, the various links that have been posted to the California board, JP's links, KoreanWiz's links, and so forth. The major items missing below are many more links to the many non-English sites discussing Korean dramas, which I can gradually add if there is interest.

• General Drama Info
  • KoreanWiz.org
    
  • JP's Historical Drama Page
    
  • Korean History Project
    
  • Click into the Hermit Kingdom—from a series of articles in the Korea Times about the Chosun Dynasty
    
  • KRMDB 韓國映畫和演員資料
    
  • K-Dramas at eFanGuide
    
  • California board TV Schedules
    • Includes links to Korean TV stations carried by DISH and some cable companies.
      
    • Some of DISH's Chinese TV stations also show Korean dramas.

CCWF, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE??!!

what are all those links you posted?
Now I'm going to be tempted to check em all out, which means I get less work done (it's bad enough I'm constantly on this site ;D)

Added a section for Chicago's local TV stations showing Korean dramas.

[ccwf]

Forgot about Krystalheart.com. If you had difficulty following Stairway to Heaven because you're not fluent in Chinese, then see the transcripts for many of the episodes available there.

Added SPCNET.

Do you know if there's a site that's similar to the IMDB but for Korean or Asian actors? Thanks.

See the KRMBD link above. But it's more for movies than the actors in them. It only has pages for some major movie actors (e.g., Bae Doo-na has a page, but Bae Yong Joon does not).
