cliche done right omg i usually hate this past connection bullshit but am actually okay with the "omg they were…
Right? In almost every drama with past connections, the leads knew each other as kids. But I love how they were adults when they "met" in the past. It was a brief connection, but enough to impact them when they were both struggling in their own way. None of this long-lost-first-love bullshit that we're tired of.
I feel like Jeong Hyeok remembers Seri from Switzerland especially that post credits scene from episode 4 where…
Also did you see his smile when he first found her in the end credits scene from episode 1? It looked like he recognized her and was happy to see she decided to live.
I was holding it together REALLY well until he gave her that necklace. When he put his number on there as well? That officially turned me into a pathetic puddle of goo. Goddamn, where can I find me a Ji Suk?
In my opinion DS will never kill someone because the first moment of the drama was when he was arrested and they…
My theory (or maybe just really wishful thinking) is that the first scene is a plan of Bo Kyung and Dong Shik's to flush out the real killer. They only pretended to arrest him to damage the killer's ego enough to come forward. Or something like that.
really hope "It was Jin's fault" in the preview isn't going to mean she's the killer or somehow involved. Let's…
The Grasshopper guy was wearing her necklace, I have a feeling he is in love with her, and his killing everyone who hurt her in some way. And is keeping her hostage somehow.
I know people feel both ways about that ending, but I have to say that I really enjoyed it. It seems like every historical drama ends with the hero choosing "the good of the kingdom/people/throne" and following through with leading the revolt. But Nokdu said "screw it, I never wanted the throne anyways and the two people fighting over it are batshit crazy", so he took his people and chose a happy ending on the island.
And I think that's what a lot of writers don't seem to get. It's ok to walk away from a situation, to choose a happy life over a lonely one. That's what Dong Joo chose when she let the king go. That's what Nok Du's brother chose when he left Yool Mu to save him. Is it the more "safe" ending to go with over an epic tragic one? Sure, but that doesn't make it any less beautiful.
This show started as a comedy, turned into a melodrama with that plot twist, but then left us with a happy ending. It's hard these days to find a drama that stays strong to the very end. So I have to say, well done Nokdu crew. You all crushed it!
I wish they had made Dal Geon this merciless episodes ago. Is it just me or are there a lot of dramas be an opening…
It's because of Netflix. Every show they've latched onto they decide to "break" into 2 or more seasons because that is their specialty. They're trying to drag things out and get more money out of it. They did it with Love Alarm, My First First Love, and Arthdal Chronicles. Of course, it's anyone's guess if there will actually BE a second season of Arthdal or Vagabond.

Woo Hyuk: "Are you two dating now?"
Ji Suk: "Not yet. I haven't asked her yet."
What a power move...
