There was a ton of funny moments in today’s Tale of Nokdu and I laughed, but I wasn’t satisfied with the episode overall. A few unnecessary flashbacks…. Some filler scenes. Bits and pieces of the royal side of the plot were given when I wanted to know more. More specifically about Hwang Tae and the dark assassin. Hwang Tae is not dead yet, right?

Or is it also because I’m bummed there’s no second episode this week (Dang sports) The cliffhanger was a killer.

I didn’t expect kisses already. And not just one. Didn’t like the second kiss scene because – A. Dong Joo was not ready. She did not want their relationship to become complicated. At least, she was aware that Nokdu was not seeing anyone. And B. I just knew Yul Moo would interrupt them any second so I was dreading his reaction.

I’m also wondering if Heo Yoon is really the villain or not. The other minister actually planned a scheme to make the Queen Dowager look bad.
