Asian SF/F (not Japan)

[oyceter]

Hi! I am lazy and depending on the goodwill of the internet to help with research!

So: tell me about Asian SF/F!

It must be:

• Created in Asia by Asians


• NOT from Japan


• Any medium


• Bonus points if I can get my hands on it (I am in the US and read/understand Mandarin Chinese)


• Extra bonus points for SF/F from and/or about Southeast Asia or South Asia

I have a slightly better sense of SF/F created in Asia and popular in the US, though if you have notes for your specific country, that would also be good! Please note: NOT from Japan.

For self: rachelmanija's notes on Indian SF/F

ETA:
Korea:
- Pahanjip (Korean folklore + Tang China ghost hunters, manhwa)
- Bride of the Water God (Korean folklore (?) + alternate world + beast bridegroom, manhwa)

China:
- Swordsman II

Dokebi bride, you say? I'm somewhat interested, do have any beginner's guides/summaries, or should I just trawl through your tags?

Trawl through my tags, I fear. I haven't made a proper pusher post myself, and haven't really seen any. And scans are sadly lacking.

I have a short post on Dokebi Bride here (http://telophase.livejournal.com/786767.html). There are minor spoilers for volume 3 after the line that reads, er, "Minor spoilers from volume 3".

ETA: They're not plot spoilers, and they relate directly to the title, so not that hard to figure out from the first two volumes. :)
