Song Ja-In (Han Ye-Ri) is the only daughter for the head of a large peddlers group. She is the owner of Jeonjoo Yeokak, which sells merchandise and is also an inn. She has courage, stays calm under pressure and has charisma. Song Ja-In dreams of becoming the best merchant in Joseon.

Baek Yi-Hyun (Yoon Si-Yoon) is Yi-Kang’s younger half-brother. He is smart, handsome and polite. Unlike Yi-Kang, Baek Yi-Hyun was not born out of wedlock. Yi-Hyun has everything and he treats his half-brother politely.

Comments

Sally Sep 03 2022 3:20 pm I have seen hundreds of k-dramas and many historical dramas. This is by far my favorite because of what it is about and it is portrayed so well. Well written and had great acting and fantastic production. The history of Korea is so interesting to me. The peasants at that time who rose up are heroes of the world.

SageGrace Jul 19 2022 9:41 pm I have waited so long to see this drama. It was overwhelming ~ and it was spectacular

Ziey Sep 10 2021 8:12 am The most un’cliche’ historical drama. The most realistic war. Very light romances. Their acting are so amazing. The storyline is incredible but this drama is soooooo underrated:( It deserves high recognition tho . 100% worth.

April Sep 09 2021 11:34 am I'm on episode 4. Star studded drama! Omg so many great actors here, recognize some of them from Roots of throne/six flying dragons.. I really have high expectations now in this drama.

Thrillian75 Sep 07 2021 7:48 am This is such an amazing historical drama. I stumbled upon it because I love Jo Jung Suk and am trying to watch all his shows and movies. But beyond JJS, I really love this piece for its amazing writing, the twists, nuances of human triumphs, weaknesses and peculiarities. The Art of War, the politics, greed, love and all the other aspects of human nature is captured beautifully in the writing and by the actors. Why it's not getting the attention it deserves, I don't know. Watch it. It is definitely worth your time.

Ujinaaa Aug 05 2021 9:09 am Amazing drama .. very realistic , no cheesy romance , great acting , this one along with " bridal mask" are the best dramas that portrayted the japanese occupation in korea and the political aspect ..

Highly recommended

Yujina Jul 28 2021 2:11 pm Im on episode 11 and my god what a great drama , loved everything about it .. wondering why it is so underrated !!

KHistoricalDramaFanatic Apr 19 2021 11:50 am Watched this during its run & watching it again for the 2nd time on netflix after the cancelation of Joseon exorcist. And missing yoon siyoon too.

BANDIT VON JAVA Feb 25 2021 6:20 am There were so many warring factions in Joseon it's no wonder the nation couldn't effectively defend itself against foreign invaders... Even the Queen herself invited invasion from Qing by asking Qing for help, in order to protect her own self interest

ANGEL OF DEATH Feb 25 2021 6:14 am This movie is so realistic. I was stunned, horrified n cried throughout the battle scenes, especially the battle at Ugeumchi. I think the biggest victim here is Joseon... I feel saddened for Joseon for so many reasons: to have closed-minded aristocrats who just wanted to preserve their status quo, to have a weak, hopeless king who incited an uprising n then betrayed his own people, to have a Joseon man like Baek Yihyun selling out his own country n countrymen to Japan. Joseon was an imploding nation

Moon Flower Feb 08 2021 4:27 am This drama is from same era with Mr. Sunshine. But Nokdu Flower give you more real story of the war. I still can't get over of this drama. I know Yoon Shiyoon is 2nd lead but I watch it, i really wanna know what kind of 2nd lead he is in here and I'm So Satisfied!!!! Yoon Shiyoon always manage his acting like he is different person from the other drama he ever acted before.

Seriously Baek Yihyun is really evil and hateful. But instead of angry, i feel sorry to him. His family is fail, out of the expectation. I feel so sorry bcs he is actually a nice person. He treats everyone equally only to end up he hurting himself. I feel really sorry for him especially when he said he doesn't have place on Joseon anymore. The girl he loved, looking at him like he is a garbage. He got betrayed here and there including betrayed by his own self. I feel bad to him.

Also usually actor who always land on first lead role will never take 2nd lead especially they need to become evil or antagonist. But respect to Yoon Siyoon who challenge himself and he keep make me proud by take the role as Baek Yi Hyun. And he is always soooo cute whatever he do ?

Claudia Jan 05 2021 2:43 pm I didn't watch yet but I will, Yoon Shi Yoon is one of my favorite Korean actors :)

nokdu Nov 21 2020 9:04 am bruhhh jz reading early comments saying that ysy didnt get as many screen time as jjs - isnt that obvious, ysy is the slight evil, jjs is like the boss and the protagonist obviously he needs more screentime to explain donghak's story;;; anyways im only at episode 15 ish and this drama is gold i have never been interested in any history but this just made me research on korea's history. well i read some comments saying that the ending is unsatisfactory but i dont think that really matters, i mean, everything is in history, they cant possibly change the history just because its a drama lmao tbh im a jjs fan i watched most of his movies and all of his dramas (except nokdu) and i gotta say except for hit and run squad, nothing was disappointing. i didnt watch nokdu cuz it's a history sageuk based on real story and i thought hm i dont think its my cup of tea, so i didnt watch it until now. damn gotta really say, jjs NEVER disappoints. even in hit and run squad, although the movie was boring, his acting as an antagonist really made me think that he's a real psycho. anyways i'll continue watching this drama but just wanted to leave a comment here cuz its so good T^T

Lee Seohwa Nov 16 2020 3:49 am So many actors from Six Flying Dragons!

Diananinuneno Sep 13 2020 3:50 am I dont know about my feeling when i watch this drama. I watched because of jo jung suk and i think i dont like han ye ri’s acting.... sorry to say. For me it just 6/10

Yuki Jun 05 2020 11:04 pm It's a really great drama for those who's not really into historical drama with too much romantic love line. This drama is really really "historical" and full of loyalty and patriotic values. For me, strangely, Nokdu Flower is the most less-stressful sageuk drama I've ever watch, it doesn't have any villain that makes me goes REALLY MAD because all of the villains here are somehow reasonable. Usually, other sageuk drama (specially the one with palace environment as its main setting) has this one powerful character that is graceful outside and evil inside. However, in Nokdu Flower, if they're an evil, they really act like an evil inside and outside, that's what I like about Nokdu Flower.

For Yi-Hyun (spoiler alert maybe?) Instead of being mad at him for what he did. I feel sorry for him, he was obsessed with new thing that he learned while studying in Japan and tried so hard to make Joseon 'cultured' like Japan. Just to ended up realizing that he actually dig his own grave by helping Japanese.

Ah!!!! Also!!!!! I really loooveeeee Yi Hyun and Yi Kang's love-hate bromance. They really care about each other. Even after all these clash they had, even if they're always in a different side of coins, at the end of the day they still care for each other.

Best historical drama I've ever watched so far ?

Rei May 22 2020 11:36 pm Jo jung suk never disappoint, really, he is the best actor ???

Deep Feb 25 2020 2:11 pm A must watch... One of the best drama, cheers to the cast n crew. Thank you.. wonder why the rating isn't high...

Stark Jan 23 2020 10:36 am In this only drama, i support the bad guy. I mean, Baek Yi Hyun is just a victim of bad era... Everybody didnt accept him, it's very painful.

Naro Jan 18 2020 9:24 am Two hot men in one package. ❤️?

Kiki Jan 11 2020 1:33 pm Great drama, great cast. nuff said

Shin hae ra Jan 05 2020 6:28 am Very good drama, i love that so much ❤

ria Sep 30 2019 4:34 am The only thing lacking from this drama is ... the rating is not high, even though the drama is extraordinary (perfect), there are no significant shortcomings. if you want to watch ??? I make sure you guys won't regret it ... really ... and I'm impressed with YSY acting role. He really stole the attention of the audience ...

Alan shah Sep 28 2019 9:57 am Hai im from Malaysia. The Nokdu Flower is the best Korean History Movie have i ever seen. Love the characters Baek Yi Kang and Ms Song. Great script and after finish 48 episode i start to explore about Donghak Army from website. Stunned this is real. Good job! Hope have a continues movies about how Baek Yi Kang and his new army survived the war again Japs. Great job guys.

Serenande Spring Aug 24 2019 12:23 am Personal rate 8/10

Ado Aug 23 2019 8:06 am Help me please... What is the title of the song and who is the singer in The Nokdu Flower episode 47 when the general and his friends is hanged? Thank you so much...

Strawberry_chocolate Aug 17 2019 8:31 am Best war drama ever! The actors, scripwriter, director, & staffs worked so hard to present this drama. Well done! Jo Jung Suk & Yoon Shi Yoon duo was perfection. They deserved the award such as best actor of the year.

lrt Jul 30 2019 7:30 am Everyone sees things through their own set of eyes....but I found the ending unexpected and satisfying. The tragic thing is that history keeps repeating itself over and over....if it isn't Korea ...it is some other place. Great drama. Well done.

Nobi Jul 26 2019 9:42 am @Hyphuw it wasnt because of the scriptwriter that joseon had poor strategic plans to counterattack and defend their country but because it really did happened. this drama is based on historical events and not only was joseon lacking with military manpowet with constant war near their boarders but also for the corrupted politicians who sold their own country to pocket money. the lack of power and discipline was due to the power struggle happening as well. so no, dont blame the scriptwriter even though they were just writing creative content to recreate the past. they actually had to use history books to be as accurate as they can be for the drama.

Verl Jul 23 2019 1:41 pm Yoon Shiyoon is one of my favourite actors and I felt like I could never hate him. This drama, and his evil acting really made me dislike his character so much... he acted so well. I really wanted to kill Baek Yihyun at one point in the drama. Also, the war arc really made me cry. Maybe it's because I watched this drama late at night all by myself. The war scenes were honestly, really emotional. And the OST which played during those scenes... damn my eyes are still wet. But... I'm still not satisfied with the ending. There's just something missing. Perhaps I desperately wanted Yihyun to somehow, straighten up? Well.

Vika Jul 14 2019 9:28 am Goosebumps at final episode and thumbs up

A fan of good dramas Jul 14 2019 7:30 am I never really enjoy historical dramas but surprisingly this is really good. I love love Yoon Shi yoon’s part as baek yi Hyun. On top of the fact that this is based on a true historical event, the writer managed to zoomed into the psychological emotions of the commoners, magistrates, aristocrats, and the list goes on.

SORRY FOR THE SPOILERS!

I mean it’s nice to be like baek yi Kang where he remains true to himself to the very end. Besides, it was so clear cut that he believes in something that is upright and hold strong to it; that everyone should be equal.

But as for baek yi Hyun, he’s beaten by his own intelligence thinking that Joseon is barbaric hence supporting the Japan hoping that Joseon will soon become civilised too, only to realise it wasn’t as black and white as it is. All in all, it’s very upsetting to know all that till the end where no human being could forgive him for all his mistakes.

I’m so emotionally affected by this drama...

And because of that, i think this drama is really goood!

Hyphuw Jul 11 2019 4:22 am This series is so intriguing then gets annoying during war between japanese and josean.The latter lacks war strategies. What's with the scriptwriter?.

NEGI Jul 09 2019 9:52 pm the Best drama for me so far, all the feelings mixed up, there is so much tragedy, that i dont know how the end will gonna be(hoping there is extension hehe) JJS oppa never disaapointment me <3.

Guiltypleasure Jul 07 2019 3:19 am The best of all war genre K- drama that I've ever watched.

KDrama Addict Jun 23 2019 9:12 pm Omo omo omo! I Love It! The way Cho Jung Seok transform from "That Man" to "Baek Yi Kang" and Yoon Shi Yoon" transform from "Baek Yi Hyun" to "The ogre or Oni". Being part of the Baek family really run in their blood. So much for that, I love how the 2 brothers care for each other though they're always on the different side or they're enemy. CJS and YSY Fighting!!! ❤❤

Trust Me this is so GOOD Jun 23 2019 8:55 pm Wooow! I didn't expect this is gonna be a great Kdrama. I just tried the first episode and didn't notice that I'm already on the most recent episodes. I love to see what going to happen to Yoon Shi Yoon. Is he will return as Baek Yi Hyun or will die as the ogre. I'm really looking forward to the remaining episodes. Fighting Yoon Shi Yoon!! No matter what character you will be, I'll always support you!!

lrt Jun 18 2019 2:36 pm This is filmed so much in the dark that I am having a hard time even distinguishing the actors from each other...don't like that. It also is all about battles and not much else.

Kori023 Jun 16 2019 5:04 pm Nokdu Flower is such an amazing drama. I’m surprised the ratings are under 10% it should be 20%. It’s painful to watch Japan invade the Palace In Joseon. Yoon SiYoon’s character Beak YiHyun is exciting to watch yet difficult to watch. Him being the ogre is hard to watch.

Donggu_21 Jun 16 2019 8:50 am I really really love your role Yoon Si Yoon oppa!! Same goes with Cho Jung Seok!! I'm inlove with your characters. I love seeing the Baek brothers!!

Must Read This Comment! Jun 15 2019 2:40 am When I first start to watch Nokdu Flower, I decided myself that I came for Yoon Siyoon but at the end I stayed for Yoon Siyoon and the amazing storyline even though I'm not a big fan of historical-political dramas. I got hooked from the first episode. All the casts did a great job and oh how I Love the bromance in the drama. The older brother was only nice to his younger brother and with others, he did not give a damn care. Jo Jungseok as Baek Yikang makes such a warm-hearted and doting older brother to Yoon Siyoon as Baek Yihyun. I cried at some parts because (CAUTION SLIGHT SPOILER) from the soft-hearted and kind person, Yihyun became evil at some point and continue being so back and forth throughout the drama and it's lovely how Yikang never gave up to save Yihyun from himself time and time again.

I'm a big fan of Yoon Siyoon. I watched every drama, movie and variety show that stars him in it. If you're a true fan, it doesn't matter if your favourite takes the 1st/2nd lead role, you will follow their latest project to support them so please! Give the drama and Yoon Siyoon a chance, I promise you will be amazed with Yoon Siyoon's Baek Yihyun character development as he will try to act as a role he never really had a chance to play as; (CAUTION SLIGHT SPOILER) the questionable anti-hero with slight PTSD from going to war.

kimchi93 Jun 13 2019 11:33 pm Really.... Really... Love❤ the cast, plot and allll Yi kang and his mother had same age in real life....

my favourite drama this year ❤ 10/10

Psps Jun 02 2019 7:04 am Cho Jung Seok(Jo Jung Suk) is really a multi-talented actor. His actings are great! He deserve main leading role with this character. We get hooked on this series for your outstanding actings start on first episode. Because of you! We hope and pray for you to be shine more and more with upcoming series, doctor playbook. Opa, FIGHTING!

evelyn naira May 20 2019 2:14 am Its a small role not a second lead actor... anyway will still watch for yoon shi yoon. After all, he still shines even though its a small role... 100% remarkable acting...

Simglo May 19 2019 6:48 pm Waiting to binge watch this, and just found out that Yoon Kyun Sang and Lee Joon Hyuk have cameos in this. Yes!!! Great fun!

Eymeee May 13 2019 7:07 am I cant wait for next episode. Han Ye Ri, Jo Jeong Suk and Yoon Si Yoon are all awesome. Acting superb. Im not really into historical drama but im hook with this one.

ÁYA May 11 2019 4:43 pm What really disappointed is those replays which criticise the drama though it’s just in the beginning, YSY screen time was known at least by the actor himself so there’s no cheating also it’s a pure historical drama they transfer what happened in 1984 in dramatic way, personally I love the drama and everything about it it’s so much enjoyable

Disappointed May 11 2019 12:21 pm The point is the feeling of being cheated by the production team. They proclaimed YSY is the co-main male lead with JJS therefore it is natural we expect much equal air time in between the two actors. For example YSY is the second lead in 'Prime Minister & Me' and we knew it from the very beginning. Well it is definitely not the case here.

Dee May 11 2019 10:43 am I'm a sucker for 6 Flying Dragons, one of the best sageuk of all time but I honestly find this boring.

Minah❤️ May 05 2019 1:27 pm Hey guys,this drama is about peasant revolution. It's just a story of what happened back in the days. So why are you fighting over the main characters when there were no main character back then. It was an organization fighting for their right. Just see the drama and learned what happened back then when korea was joeson. Support the actors and cheer for them. Many people are reading these comments:and who knows the actors are doing that to. How will they feel when they see these comments. Also #YouKnowThySelf should stop calling names. Everyone is unique in his/her own way. If you're handsome or pretty, that's your business but you should call others ugly. Let's have mature mind please. The drama is for entertainment and lesson not gor a fight please.

sal May 05 2019 6:43 am Han Ye Ri eonni, fighting! You met the hotel manager in age of youth again but you stood up like a boss! Daebak~~

After watching 'Imaginary Cat', I can't help but giggles as you speak in this drama lol. Anyway, I proclaimed myself that i'm enjoying this drama so much.

Naidz May 05 2019 12:29 am YSY and Jung seok are amazing here as well as the rest of the cast. I had seen to many senior actors who btw are so good. So far so good. YSY is one of my favorite actors. Dong gu fighting!!

Ree May 04 2019 11:38 pm How come cho jung-seok and seo young-hee are mother and son? They are the same age..

Mariel May 04 2019 10:53 am A great drama to watch!!! Jo Jung Seok amazing as always; Han Ye Ri - kudos to not being the helpless female. Good storyline; great cast and production team. Loving this drama!!

Satine May 04 2019 10:48 am I'm bored of people who watch drama only for one actor...

tsuki May 03 2019 12:53 pm i Totally watch the drama because of YSY and he gets practically no airtime. if this is how the drama gonna continue I don't think I'll watch till the end. YSY acting gets better everyday and he is sooooooooo good here. fighting.

Sakuraloves May 02 2019 1:22 pm Daebak! I love everything about this drama. As in everything. Don't just change the wind, this will be a succesful saeguk drama. I cried my heart out with the scenes and lines. Fighting to all the cast and staff.

Yranaxia May 02 2019 11:32 am Wow i am impressed and proud of SYS acting. His character is so different, seems so cold and mysterious, even though his scenes seems like limited. Hope for some plot twist. This will be like 2 first leads just like Goblin.

Ama May 02 2019 9:37 am For me I will support Yoon Si-Yoon in his drama what ever because I like his performance he is an amazing actor and I prefer him to be 2and or 3rd in a good project like nokdu flower instead to be the lead in a silly drama .. YSY hwaiting (;

Shandrea Leigh May 01 2019 2:14 pm Yoon Si Yoon oppa! Fighting! ???

Shandrea May 01 2019 2:04 pm The comments here were mostly complaining about Yoon Si Yoon oppa's just being a second lead... And trying to tell wether he'll get the girl or not... But here I am will watch the kdrama because its YSY's latest project.. and praying he'll not have the girl not bcoz I dont like her but I might get jealous and wont watch it anymore... Hahahah just kidding...

My first kdrama that I root for the leads and waiting for the kiss scene was TKL's Rin and San... But most of the dramas I've watched... I skipped all those (unneccesary) kiss scenes (if there is one/any) except TBH/HTT... bcoz I'm a fan of YSY and LSY there.. haha

I watched kdramas because of the interesting and mind blowing storyline/plot and not that after of the LTs... I think this drama is quite impressive... The performances of the lead actors are so far impressive... I will continue to watch it... Hope the ratings will boost up again and will even the Fiery Priest (somehow)... FP is a superb and must watch drama if you're not that after the loveline...

Please continue to support YSY oppa's project wether being 1st, 2nd or even 3rd lead...because we do know that he always gives his best in everything he does...

Yoon Si Yoon oppa! Fighting!

Mariel May 01 2019 1:01 pm Jo Jung Suk and Han Ye Ri are a wonderful actor and actress to watch!! Always look forward to watching their dramas, performances. Highly talented people!!

Andy May 01 2019 10:47 am Who cares about the actors or actress. This i is the director from Six Flying Dragon. A must watch!

Asdftx Apr 30 2019 5:40 am it’s a fact that actor YSY gives a life to any drama or scene he being on it , but it’s just 2 episodes, I don’t think he is one of main lead just because of this limit screen time !!! So be patient every one

Lee Apr 28 2019 10:05 pm Awesome acting! I've been a fan of Jo Jung-Seok for the longest time, and he never disappoints! I'm so looking forward to this drama!

Mess Apr 28 2019 6:57 pm Lol at some of you ysy fans complaining and threatening to jot watch the show because of his screen time we’ve just seen 2 episodes already and some of you are being very rude and obnoxious. There are other people in the cast who have put in their hard work and effort into this drama as well it’s not only about ysy go and watch his other dramas with him as the 1st lead if you don’t like this one

Please Dont Disappoint Me Script Apr 28 2019 5:24 pm Stop complaining about screen times and lead roles and lovelines. This is a full cast drama. There’s no main character narrative that we follow and nor see the world from a single set of eyes. It’s about a war for gods sake! A revolution and end of an era. We have a main family that we explore this world with in order to get the emotional attachment and understanding needed to explore this time period and the people’s actions. But their struggles alone are not the main focus; it’s a slice of life piece during a chaotic but important time in history that shaped modern life.

No Apr 28 2019 9:01 am Hey if ysy get more screentimwe, i'll watch this show, if not i wont, so am waiting someone to tell me. Hehe

Yomama Apr 28 2019 3:56 am Love the first few episodes! Been a minute since a kdrama has caught my attention, the dramas they’ve been releasing lately all suck so I’m glad this one looks promising lol. The cast is A+, love all the actors! They definitely casted this drama well, especially with cho jung Seok and Choi moo sung, Kim sang ho is also amazing as well! Haven’t really watched any of donggus dramas but so far he’s good lol. And y’all who are whining about him not getting any screen time need to stfu lol the drama is doing fine without him in every scene lol

Pipiet Apr 27 2019 10:43 pm Never thought CJS could play such a cold blooded villain.. gets me goosebump.. great act. I don't understand all the fuss about YSY not getting enough screen time, it's only a few episode..

yuri Apr 27 2019 9:37 pm ..yoon shi yoon screen time in nokdu flower, i dont like it.. the story is more on jo jung suk and i dont like it. i started to skip scenes where ysy is not there... well see next weeks episode.. if it didnt change i think i might stop watching his nokdu flower and wait for his next series. i hope he will be the lead and not just a second lead... poor ysy... he acting is just a waste in this drama. no wonder the ratings went down for episode 3..

yuri Apr 27 2019 9:36 pm yoon shi yoon screen time in nokdu flower, i dont like it.. the story is more on jo jung suk and i dont like it. i started to skip scenes where ysy is not there... well see next weeks episode.. if it didnt change i think i might stop watching his nokdu flower and wait for his next series. i hope he will be the lead and not just a second lead... poor ysy... he acting is just a waste in this drama. no wonder the ratings went down for episode 3..

this is a historical drama Apr 27 2019 2:24 am y'all stop being concerned about who is 1st or 2nd role, this drama has more than such thing. on the love of god, the 1st episode was really awesome! I cried and fluttered. The conflicts are tough and heavy, but the roles made it truly interesting to watch. and the cinematography!!! absolutely stunning! go watch it you wouldn't be disappointed!

Debbie Oweni Apr 26 2019 5:58 pm A lot of ppl think YSY is 2nd lead, well that not the case. He is 1 of the main leads and will get equal screen time. I have grown tired of him and haven't watched any of his historical dramas since mirror of a witch. Really looking forward to this drama because of CJS and I believe this is his 1st Sageuk

Jenna Apr 20 2019 3:13 pm Damn why is YSY the second lead.... I’m not saying CJS should be the second lead but aaaargh I love em both who am I suppose to root for?

kuninhai Apr 18 2019 2:26 am I love how the teasers making me so giddily excited for this drama...The cast are great.. I adore Yoon shi Yoon and Jo Jung Suk...both of them mare so versatile... I like Han Hyeri too.. so I'm really expecting a lot for this series... Hope the rating will be good just like the Fiery Priest!! Goodluck Nokdu Flower!

sera Apr 15 2019 10:06 am Yoon Si Yoon looks like the most interesting character. He will be a foil to Jo Jung Seok's character.

Lee Seohwa Apr 14 2019 10:20 am Another Korean drama like Mr Sunshine

Kimmy Apr 10 2019 2:27 am looking forward for this Drama the cast was star studded most specially to Park Hyuk-Kwon who I think will play another Dual/Twin role since 6 flying dragon

yua Apr 07 2019 2:07 am second lead syndrome for yoon shi yoon/ :( he dont deserve it! I hope they will change the picture of this series...

Tyura Apr 05 2019 9:54 pm Yoon shi Yoon fit with his real character. I will watch it

Timi Mar 11 2019 10:51 am Can't wait to see you in a drama, donggu. ^_^

tsuki Feb 25 2019 9:10 am yoon si yoon must be the first lead. i mean he is THE best kisser in k-dramas.

aiko Feb 14 2019 8:42 am I'm a big fan of 'Six Flying Dragons' so I really trust the director. I also know that the writer can make everyone hook with each episodes. Moreover, the casts are so great. All of them had a great acting skills. I anticipate for this drama in 2019 the most!

Monic Feb 13 2019 12:45 pm I've been waiting for another Korean Drama from Cho Jung-Seok and this is it. My favorite kdrama artist and crush since then. I really do hope to see you in person when I visit SK this December 2019 and if that happen that will be one of the best gift that I want receive for Christmas. I'll make sure to visit SK even if it means that I need to spend all of my savings just to see you. Not practical in a way but, I'll be the happiest person if my wish will be granted. Saranghamnida ?

Celestine Feb 09 2019 8:27 am I love this three main leads. So excited for this show!

kuninai Jan 29 2019 4:43 am Looking forward to this drama because of YSY... Whether he's the 2nd lead or the 1st , I know he will give his best in his acting cause he doesn't want to disappoints his fans and the viewers...

I'm also excited for the bromance between YSY and JJS!!

belle Jan 25 2019 4:18 am Yoon Si -Yoon can catch more attention and attraction of the viewer lots of fun and exciting if hes the 1st lead in this coming kdrama. Han Ye- Ri and Yoon Si-Yoon is one of my favorite celebrity in south korea..
