I struggled watching the 1st 3 episodes but Im glad I didnt give up. Yeon Woo Jin did a great job. He never failed me. The female lead was indeed annoying at first, but the direction of her character improved along the way. The sidekicks were also annoying at the first few episodes, but I guess, this was to show how the development of their relationships would drastically change.

I also appreciate how they tackled the issues on the consequences of bad parenting and not conveying your thoughts. I applaud this drama for showing that shy people can also be leaders.

Overall, I enjoyed this drama especially the comedy and the heart-warming scenes. :)

Yup!

Thanks! :)

I wish they could have extended one more episode. They could have shown:
- Aeng Du as a teenager and having a problem which boy to choose in the island as a boyfriend (of course who knows how to cook)
- the Queen having a hard time adjusting to the simple life in a fun way
- how Dong Joo and Nokdu will learn how to change diapers and fight over who's gonna do it
- Nokdu teaches his eldest son some martial arts and catching fish
- Aeng Du's father telling Nokdu's kids about a tale of a boy who is smart and as strong as 10 men but disguised himself as a woman

Nonetheless, it was wrapped up nicely. Surely, this is one of my all-time favorite dramas. :)

...and there goes Nokdu's "tale". The end. :(

A funny one! :)

Agreeeeee!

The writer achieved her goal for this drama to be unpredictable and worth waiting for til the last episode, at least for me (maybe im not really good at predicting endings, lol). I still wish for Nokdu to be crowned as king! T.T

I guess, being in the royal dungeon can clear up one's chronic cough. I didnt hear any cough from Nokdu's foster father. ;)

Love this so much! I like how this drama presented that you can turn your life around even though you think it's the end. As you turn your page, there's more to life than meets the eye :)

And BEST DRESSED of the year! XD

Same here! :)

Oh..haha..thanks!

There was once a preview that the king was asking Yeon Soo if he lived by the name 'Nokdu'. Did that happen already? Did I miss it? Have I read the correct translation? :)

What happened to the small sidekick? I didnt notice him anymore in the later episodes...

Im not sure if my memory serves me right-- Dong Joo once mentioned that Yal Mu was rude when he found out who she is.

After her family was attacked, she had to hide herself where no one knows about her and thats when Lady Chun took her in. So, theres a time that they were apart and when they met again, Yal Mu was rude. That probably turned her off.

Things happened so fast. I might have to rewatch again the whole series when it ends. :D

Agree. I also hope that JDY gets more recognition as a main lead material and more mature roles. Im happy that he got out of his high school boy image.

Yeah :( maybe thats the reason why his own father (former king) didnt want Gwanghae to be the next king... but im still waiting as to the real reason behind why the former king had that last decree...

Same here! Thats the part i kept on repeating more than the 'how it actually happened' :D

That epic song when Nokdu saved DongJoo is already released! Will be playing it on repeat. :)
