I've been an avid kdrama viewer for over five years, and "The Tale of Nokdu" has secured its place among my all-time favorites. This is the first time I've awarded a drama a perfect score, and for good reason. From start to finish, "The Tale of Nokdu" exceeded all my expectations, leaving me pleasantly surprised at every turn.

My initial attraction to the drama stemmed from Lady Kim, but it didn't take long for me to become completely engrossed in the world of the widow's village. I felt deeply connected to each and every character, a rare occurrence for me in kdramas. Not a single scene felt unnecessary or disrupted the flow of the story.

The writers masterfully kept me hooked, constantly leaving me wondering if we would indeed get a happy ending. As for the acting, every actor delivered stellar performances, with Jang Dong Yoon shining brightly in his dual roles as Lady Kim and Nokdu. The chemistry between the leads, both on and off-screen, was explosive, making me ship them fervently and leaving me questioning if they were truly acting at all.

I could go on and on about this show, but let me keep it concise: Don't hesitate, go watch "The Tale of Nokdu" now. You won't regret it.
