Often period dramas lean towards the heartbreak side, but I decided to check this out because of the blurb and the specified genres. I’m glad I did because I feel in love with this drama. The Tale of Nokdu is a complete package which starts of with humour in the first half and becomes intense with political plot in the second. Despite the change in genre, consistently, the characters don’t fail to deliver. I felt that each of the actors understood their characters well and it was very evident in their portrayal. I also loved the intricate focus on the fighting sequences, it was such a delight to watch! This is a drama you will go back to repeatedly.
