If you like The Tale of Nokdu, I think you'd also like 100 Days My Prince! Both have:
- strong female lead with tragic pasts
- male leads trying to figure out who they really are
- a morally ambiguous king
- group of supportive friends/family!!!!
- comedy! romance! history! drama!
- amazing chemistry between the two leads

Both are historical fantasy dramas;
Both are very funny and gently;
Many jokes and comic scenes;
Both have the cutest romance ever!

Enjoy "My Sassy Girl" with something hot and sweet, specially in cold days. And "The Tale of Nukdu" with a snack salted or something spicy hahaha make all the difference!

Hope you liked!

They are both historical dramas and have a little bit of comedy in them mixed with action and suspense. Although, The Tale of Nokdu does not have any fantasy in it - it is still very entertaining and humorous. Definitely worth a watch~

Just Dance and The Tale of Nokdu both have Jang Dong Yoon which is nice for people who are getting interested to see more of him ;)

also, even though it happened for a short while, he cross dressed in JD too xD

recommendations are not just about similarities, so I'll just say (beside be melodramatic) TTON is the drama that got me out of my HDL slump~

Both Arsenal Military Academy and The Tale of Nokdu are cross dressing dramas done right. And both are historical genres
