This is the first time I have watched a sageuk drama (historical dramas bore me so much) but The Tale of Nokdu is something different.
Truthfully speaking, this was not on my list at all because as I have said, historical dramas bore me. But I came across Jang Dongyoon and Kim Sohyun's rain kiss bts on facebook and their chemistry was exploding! So I gave this drama a try and boy did I not regret watching it. This has become my FAVORITE KDRAMA OF ALL TIME!
From episode 1 up to episode 32, there were no boring scenes. Everything looked interesting. The plot twists were surprising. This drama made me laugh so much on the first episodes, it made me mad and cry on the other half. The actors/actresses did a good job portraying their roles. I have never seen such powerful casts that blended perfectly with each other. No one was better than the other or weaker than the rest. Every casts showed perfect performance. Not to mention how close they are off cam, that is why TTON family is one of the best. Their bond is more than just work, they are a family.
Jang Dongyoon and Kim Sohyun? I swear directors are making a big mistake on not casting them on another kdrama! These two are made for each other (on and off cam). Their chemistry is all over the place and have yall watched their bts vids? They're so comfortable with each other! I have seen comments about KSH being most comfortable with JDY than her other co-stars and I think that says a lot about their friendship. I really hope they'd end up together in real life but if they don't, I hope they'd remain friends forever.
The OST? This drama has got the best songs and I'm not even being biased here. The production team does know how to insert the right background music on a scene that it makes you feel twice the emotion you're feeling. I've been listening to the ost since the day I finished watching TTON and it just makes me miss this kdrama more.
The ending satisfied me. The writers gave us an ending that is a combination of reality (parts of this kdrama were based on actual history) and imagination, and I think that's what makes it perfect. No kdrama has ever given me peace after finishing it and TTON just gave me what I asked for.
I highly recommend that you give this drama a try. I really love this drama that I have rewatched it just days after finishing it. It's perfect in it's own way - the casts, the production team, the story, the ost, the cinematography (it was so lit, I tell you!) and a lot more were done perfectly. I'm not over TTON yet and I'm 100% sure that I will never move-on from this. It will be hard for me to watch another kdrama for weeks because TTON just owned my heart. I miss TTON family so much!
