Rookie Historian Goo Hae-ryung

2019 40 episodes MBC Historical Romance Comedy Drama Netflix

Goo Hae-ryung becomes one of the first female royal historians in Joseon — a role so scandalous that the king's advisors lose their minds over it. She's assigned to chronicle the reclusive prince who secretly writes romance novels under a pen name. Breezy and witty, this sageuk is as much about the absurdity of institutional sexism as it is about the slow-burn romance between two people who discover they've been reading each other's writing for years.
