사극

As a part of my last preparations I recently begun watching Korean dramas again, but not just any dramas particularly Sageuk dramas because I'm interested in Korea's culture and history and Sageuk dramas usually have a lot of war scenes, which I strangely enough seems to appreciate more than I thought I would... There's only one problem as I trying to pick up prounanciation, word order and likely spelling do the actors use current Hangul or do they speak an older version of Korean ? Maybe a stupid question but I honestly don't know. Bellov a somewhat extensive list of Sageuk many which I have not seen, usually the length of Sageuk's seems to be a very high number but so far only one Sageuk has managed to produce 200 episodes !? And that would be Emperor Wang Geun which was broadcasted in 2000. Unbelievable but totally true. Except for Sageuks Korean dramas are usually only under 20 episodes or somewhere around.
