Tale of Nokdu (2019)
At first, I did not intend to watch this drama due to lack of interest. However, after a few scenes from its early episodes shown in some social medias, I began to put more attention and finally watched it until the end.

It was overall interesting with fresh young actors, fresh story and unpredictable twists. It occurred to me that it would be like another light romcom drama with Joseon background but it was heavier and deeper than it seemed.
The story revolved around a young man who tried to find out about his real identity and a young woman who sought revenge for her parents' death because of the cruel insecure king. Destiny made them crossed paths with each other and all other mystery surrounded the story behind the tragedy. I have to give it like 8 out of 10 for all aspects especially the main male protagonist's acting when he disguised himself as a lady. I also got to say that the costumes from the drama were great in a bright-cheering-colorful tones which not necessarily refer to the actual color of that Joseon era.
The drawing/illustration is made by me and inspired from once of the lovely scene in one episode.

Vagabond (2019)
This was one of my most anticipated Korean drama in 2019. I really like the actors and also the trailer. It was really promising and interesting.

The
genre is action, political thriller drama with all the complicated
unpredictable story related to money, power, love, trust issue, spy
agents and more.
The special effect was outstanding like a movie would do, however the depth of the story was not good enough to define a great pack of genres I've mentioned above. I've watched it because I like the casts and the trailer.

Overall it was good enough although I can't say it was better than Iris or complicated as Jason Borne movies. It was much lighter than that with sort of open ending too. I would give it about 7 out of 10 for my personal taste.
I randomly did speedpaint drawing inspired by one of the scene in one early episode when the protagonists were in Morocco.
