The House Of I / Live-Action TV

Go To

A list of some of the television depictions of The House of I. (Note that Joseon is a popular setting for period dramas, and any reference to Joseon's royal family always means the House of I. Because of this the list is confined only to series in which at least one of the family actually appears.)
