This is supposedly the current best selling technical reference series from the Korean Baduk Association (Hankuk Kiwon).
I have a quick question about the format of these books and the Discovery of Method series, too.
Are they in problem format? Or would one need to be able to read Korean to understand them?
The Hankuk Kiwon Mastery Series are in problem format so it is possible to get some ideas from them. But the explanations look to be quite involving at times.
For the Discovery of Methods series, I think you’d really need to know Korean to understand them. These books seem to talk about very high level concepts.
Unfortunately I don’t know Korean at all so I can’t really tell you more than from just a cursory look.
