Yeah, start with this one if your ovaries are sore. 
The Sands of Time or Sandglass (모래시계) is great if you're a man. It's about Korea through the 70's and early 80's. Political intrigue, rich crushing the poor, students getting killed, friends going separate ways. Totally boss.
Winter Sonata is good too. I just hated my students telling me about it when it was originally on. UGH. This show is from the mid 90's though, so none of your students would have seen it (unless you teach adults). |

I may have to check A Gentleman's Dignity out. I liked Iris but got into after they stopped showing it on TV much and could never find it on at the right times. Any options other than downloading for keeping up with this kind of stuff? DVDs at Yongsan or anything like that? |
Internet man. Hulu has both I think. |

Yeah, I've been able to get them on sites like Hulu (Daily Motion, etc.), but the screen on my laptop is way too small and it's hard to get a feed that doesn't lag (at least with my internet connection). I may just break down and download if I can get one of those cords to connect my laptop and TV.
