Watching K-Dramas Again

So I started watching Korean drams again. I had stopped for a while because my eyes were getting weary reading the English subtitles.
Right now I'm watching “King Maker: The Change of Destiny”.
It's your typical Korean historical period drama, meaning it has a love triangle and there are some greedy corrupt bad guys who are government officials in high positions who believe they have more power than the king and there is no end to their devious ruthless scheming and conniving.
Part of the fun for me in watching a series is latching on to a quote that is very memorable and visual.
FOR EXAMPLE:
This guy got upset with another guy because he thought that guy had ill intentions toward his young son. So, not realizing that he's actually wrong about the guy's intentions, he decides he's going to kill the guy. In the process of trying to get rid of the guy, he accidentally shoots the princess. Uh oh!! Oops! 
When the king's officials come to his house to arrest him, his son that he was trying to protect, comes out to see what's going on. He doesn't want his son to be alarmed, but he has to explain to his son what's going on. So he says to his son:
“I made a mistake. I tried to block a wolf and kicked a beehive.”
And then he gets dragged off to face the king and the queen dowager. Queen Dowager is like the Queen of Queens. She's higher than the queen.
The show is 20+ episodes. I've only reached Episode 8. I am watching it at a site that offers free streaming, but they have a lot of ads in between, so it takes forever to watch. It's very entertaining though.

The cool thing is that I am learning a little bit of the Korean language, some conversational everyday phrases.

@sophie09 - I watched the 1st episode of "Queen: Love and War". Found it on YouTube. It's pretty good.

I did. I enjoyed very much. I really liked the face of the main character. He was so handsome, innocent and sweet. His strength was in his honorableness. He really made you like him. And the bad guys really made you hate them!
