I can say the number of episode but it would be kind of hard to say the seasons since some people increase the number of seasons to make money.

39. Scent of a
Woman- A single, unmarried
woman in her mid-
thirties is meek, timid and considered a
spinster by society.
After spending ten
years working for the
same travel company, she is falsely
accused of stealing
from a client. In addition
to enduring the
accusations of her
superiors, she is
diagnosed with
gallbladder cancer with
approximately six
months left to live.
Mustering up her
courage, she
resigns and embraces
her remaining six
months of life.
Embarking on her first
vacation alone, she
splurges on clothes and
flies first-class to
Okinawa Island, Japan,
where she runs into the
man of her dreams, who happens to
be the son of her
former boss. He is
a rich young man,
cynical and lifeless, until
he falls in love with
her. Together they
live out a series of
misadventures, both
comical and
bittersweet, as she completes each
dream in her Bucket
List.
40. Can You Hear My
Heart- This is the love story of a man who's
been rendered deaf
after an accident but
pretends he can hear,
and a
woman who's
intelligent but pretends
she's dim-witted to
protect the dignity of
her mentally
handicapped father. She
has been looking for her
step-brother who ran away
from home 16 years
ago. What she soon
finds out that his brother, is her brother in disguise.
41. Lie To Me- A government
employee of the
Ministry of Culture,
Sports and Tourism lies to
an antagonistic friend
about being married,
not to lose face in front
of her. The lie quickly
snowballs until she realizes
that everyone is
gossiping about her
supposed, secret
marriage to the
very wealthy president
of World Hotel.
As the gossip spreads,
the miserable man is
forced to combat the
rumors to his friends as
he decides a plan of
action in getting her to correct her lie.
They both
decide to take action to
squash the rumors,
with her agreeing
to call her friends
together so she can
confess her discretion.
When this doesn't go as
planned, he decides
to take legal action
against her.
However, after a series
of events that bond the
pair, they agree that
pretending to be
married for a short
while would be mutually
beneficial — though he promises that her lie is not forgiven
and that he will
eventually follow
through with his
lawsuit.
Things become even
more complicated when
his ex-fiancée
returns from France. They both grow
closer and more fond of
one another over the
duration of their
pretended marriage; he finds himself
questioning his
commitment to his
former fiancée.

The Moon that Embraces the Sun-A thirteen-year-old who is the daughter
of a high-ranking
official, accompanies
her mother to the royal
palace to attend her
brother's civil
service examination
congratulatory
ceremony. By chance,
she comes across
Crown Prince
in the midst of his
escape attempt to see
his older half brother.
They fall in love and
she is chosen as
the Crown Princess of
Joseon. This upsets the Crown
Prince's older half brother,
who also loves her.
Before they can marry,
however, the Dowager
Queen secretly orders
her death, in order to
install the daughter of a
family clan, as Crown
Princess, thus securing
more power for herself.
She orders head
shaman (Someone who can make contact with the physical and spiritual world) of the Royal Star Mansion
(Royal Astrology House)
to cast a spell on her so as to stricken her
with an unknown
sickness.
However, before she was born, her
mother saved a
shaman,
who promised to repay
her kindness by
providing protection for her. Before she
died, the shaman asked the other shaman to fulfill the
promise. The other shaman
secretly visits the girl's father and gives
him a special potion for
his daughter, which she
tells him will allow her to die in peace.
After dying, she
is resurrected from her
grave, but loses her
memories. All believe
her to be dead, including
the Crown Prince, who refuses to
love another.
Eight years later, she returns as a
shaman with another name which means moon. She
has not been forgotten
by those she left
behind, and her fate is
still intertwined with
the Crown Prince, who is now
the king. She must
contend with the
current Queen of
Joseon, the Queen's
Father, and the Queen
Dowager in order to
reclaim her rightful place
as Queen of Joseon.
Meanwhile the young
king begins to
investigate the death
of his love after seeing
her all grown up. But
he is fighting against
time, because the
queen's powerful
political clan wants him
removed from power.
