"The Nokdu Flower" drama was endearing to watch. It was not just the drama of the story, but some parts of it were too slow and ended up being boring and tiring to watch.

Nevertheless, the performances were top notch. Yoon Shi Yoo was really good as the bad guy and the transformation of his character from the innocent royal boy to a rougthless politician was amazing. The ending was good as well. Another thing that worked for the drama was the intensity of the story. As it was based on true events, the drama was even more powerful.

However, other than the parts of it that were boring, the romance had only a few good moments as well. I understand that they wanted to focus more on the tragedy and less on the love story. However, a milde romance just didn't feat well.

So, six out of ten.
