One example of Korean "Historical" film:The Divine Weapon

Quote:
The film has been criticized by Chinese audiences for alleged historical inaccuracies.[6] For example, it is pointed out that Ming China and Choson Korea never fought and were in fact allies in resisting Japanese invasion in later times, that the tribute of virgins occurred under the Mongols, and asserted that the weapons depicted in the film were predated by similar weapons developed in China.[7][8]
Any way, the Korean drama is quite popular in China (indeed, it is popular all over east Asia, I guess). However, I wouldn't take the word "historical" too literally in the so called historical drama.
