I’m glad there is a substantive story with a birth mystery grounding this sageuk otherwise on click bait developments alone it’s barreling full speed ahead. KBS Mon-Tues drama The Tale of Nokdu only aired one episode this week and for a 5th episode it broke a ton of norms in K-dramas. It’s one of the earliest kisses between the leads that also included a direct confession rather than an accidental kiss or one that came with a caveat because the leads are not ready to be candid yet. But before that came a same sex kiss between the two male leads that was hilarious because Jang Dong Yoon went for it and poor Kang Tae Oh was so much a deer in headlights. Even better is him learning that the widow he thinks likes him is actually his romantic rival for the affections of Dong Joo. The end seen, which also included a shirtless Jang Dong Yoon because why not, captures perfectly those magic episode ending crack moments of the great rom-coms of yore.

This is literally the best drama of the entire current batch! Its so so good!
Absolutely and the best gender bender drama to ever exist.
KSH and JDY are killing it. The chemistry all around is great.
This drama reverses every single trope and I love it. JDY kissing KTO and KSH in the same episode reminded me of Producers which was amazing as well. I'm in love this show and the characters.
Kim So Hyun picked a great drama this time and Jang Dong Yoon picked the best character of his career. They're both excelling in this drama and bring in both the feels and the comedy. Great job.
Episode 5 has been the best one till now. In fact each episode it keeps getting better. This one was the funniest but that cliffhanger. How am I supposed to wait till Monday?
Omonim chasing after chefnim was hilarious. Omo! weniri! weniri!
And nokdu cute little bride joining the fun makes it even more mega hilarious haha I died when chef guy chose to fall in the pond rather than accept nokdu help LOLLL for days
In terms of plot, episode is the least interesting for me. I really hope they can show more other than the love story plot. But it's hillarious and I'm not expecting something critical in this drama. The cast and their charm really carried the drama and the producer know what sells for majority audience. Hope after this Jang Dong Yoon get something more critical because with this drama I started to know all of the facade he can show in a more a substantial project.
This is truly funny and entertaining! I find myself grinning when I watch the episodes-and Jang Dong Yoon is really a gem with a great sense of humor and a willingness to "go for it!" I love the rapid pacing and the slapstick comedy and this is the first drama I watch when I'm behind and need to do a catch up marathon.
Kang Ha-neul too. I dropped Camellia Blooms but I love how KHN and JDY go all out. They don't have to be all dolled up with their stellar acting.
The last episode was pretty funny. I love his young fiancée! Things escalated pretty fast between our leads :D
JDG is really killing this role as a man and a woman.
