    Just finished watching a korean drama series called "love in the moonlight" (so good)
    i'm pretty new to the k-drama community so i don't know a lot of good k-dramas.
    so i was wondering if anyone could come with some suggestions of good k-dramas
    i want something like historical, wuxia or xianxia or something like that and have romance.
    if possibly have something with reincarnation, crossdressing female or something like that

    sorry lot i'm asking for, But thanks for the help i advance :)

    Try shy/introverted boss, pretty ugly/beautiful gong shim, W - two worlds, chief kim, weight lifting fairy, just to name a few.

    Edit: These are set in modern times but the story and romcom is pretty good.

    There was something like a law against things like reincarnation or time travelly thingy in China I think. Was Korea affected by it too? Aren't those genres mainly for Chinese drama? Koreans have their own.

    Korea has lots of reincarnation story dramas, try goblin or legend of the blue sea, it's past to modern fantasy setting is entertaining.

    I'd recommend "Dr. Jin"
    A doctor from modern times gets sent back to olden times, where he meets a woman who looks exactly like his fiancee (who was in a coma before he got sent back in time)

    If you're just looking for a great romance story, I'd say go for "It's ok, that's love".
    Great Music, Great Acting, Great Story. It's set in modern times though.
    A famous author falls in love with a female doctor who also specializes in psychology. Everyone in the show has psychological problems, and they end up having to be roommates with each other. Again though, this one doesn't have any of the historical, or wuxia/xianxia stuff you're looking for though.

    I don't watch K dramas, but my sister does. There was one she couldnt stop talking about. I think it was called The Goblin's Bride.

    There wasn't really a law against reincarnation in China. The Chinese government has been trying to regulate reincarnation. Now, if you want to get permission to reincarnate, you have to fill out paperwork and get a ticket.

    It's mainly a political power play against the Tibetans spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, who is said to reincarnate each time he dies. There are certain monk's duties to find him once he has reincarnated, and bring him back to Tibet.

    With this new law in place, the Dalai Lama will have to ask the Government's permission to reincarnate (if they say yes, he'll get a reincarnation ticket). If he gets it, then the government will basically have a say in who the next Dalai Lama is. If he doesn't then the Chinese Government won't recognize the next Dalai Lama. All sorts of crazy stuff could happen once the current Dalai Lama dies. There could end up being 2 Dalai Lamas in the future, one that the Tibetan Buddhist monks support, and one that the Chinese Government propped up.

    Here's a link to one of the news articles on this new law. http://www.newsweek.com/china-regulates-buddhist-reincarnation-99067

    Six Flying Dragons (historical, subtle romance, but wouldn't watch it for the romance)
    Queen In Hyun's Man (romance, not reincarnation but the male mc does time travel)
    Secret Garden (romance, comedy, gender bender/male mc female mc switch bodies)
    Gu Family Book (historical, fantasy, romance, cross dressing)
    Coffee Prince (romance, cross dressing, probably the most famous cross dressing drama)

    edit: my bad for not reading your op properly, thought you asked for historical or gender bender, not historical and gender bender. though a couple of these aren't historical, i am sure you will enjoy them if you enjoy gender bender/ cross dressing.

    some personal suggestions i think you will enjoy, but they don't meet the requirements for what you are asking
    Personal Taste (romance, comedy, male lead pretends to be gay, absolutely hilarious situations)
    Oh My Venus (romance, comedy)
    Descendants of the Sun (would be shocked if you haven't seen this, but it is a romance, comedy, action, pretty much every cliche mixed into one great drama)
    Healer (action, romance, one of my top 3 favourite dramas)

    no problem, if you have any more kdrama need c drama or any other asian country drama needs, just ask. dramas are a serious business, things that can't be taken lightly.

    If you want supernatural then,
    Scarlet heart ryeo
    Goblin
    Legend of blue sea
    W: two worlds
    My love from another star or you who came from another star
    Besidess above there are other romance genre which are very good as well
    Kill me, heal me
    She was pretty
    Pinocchio
    I hear your voice
    Uncontrolably fond
    Chief kim
    Tomorrow with you
    K2
    Healer
    Reply series
    Defendant
    Descendant of sun
    Edit: Warning If you watch all good drama's then you will feel bland while watching normal one (as they can be good if you dont watch all the best one) like me since I feel bored watching old korean drama's after watching most popular ones.
