Hi everybody, I'm very interested in Korean culture and wanted to make a short web-comic on a Korean myth but I'm only familiar with a couple such as the creation of the world, the legendary Dangun, and the Bear and the Tiger legend. I've tried to do some research on lesser known Korean mythology but am having a bit of difficulty finding them.
Does anybody know any interesting legends or good websites that might have them? I would very much appreciate it!

Samguk Sagi and Samguk yusa both are books, websites are useless.

I thought Samguk Sagi just listed off historical points between the three Kingdoms during ancient times. I'm looking more for mythology and legends. I know websites aren't a good source but it's my only option right now. I'm sure there are hundreds of Korean books but sadly I can't read Korean.

Both the Yusa and Sagi have legends about specific people and their actions both documented and legendary and the Sagi in particular would be able to give your comic a more historically accurate enviroment.
