The Nokdu Flower

Historical drama where the poor rise up against the powerful and two brothers find themselves on opposite sides. An interesting story and well acted but the pace is too slow and my interest wanes as each episode goes nowhere very fast. If they had cut down the episodes it could have been tighter and more entertaining.

I rarely rate a series or a movie with 10 stars, I consider my self generous when I give 8 or 9 stars, but if I could give more than 10 stars to this one I would've.. A brilliant true event-based masterpiece, with zero mistakes, where everthing and everyone just fits!!

I never expected it to be this good as I started watching, brilliant cast, brilliant people incarnation & a masterful director, he just made his lifetime piece, and of course no need to speak of Cho Jung seok acting skills, he just never disappoints, everyone has done an amazing job, it just couldn't have been better, kudos to them all 🌸

Good drama to watch ,acting was also good must watch it.

"The Nokdu Flower" drama was endearing to watch. It was not just the drama of the story, but some parts of it were too slow and ended up being boring and tiring to watch.

Nevertheless, the performances were top notch. Yoon Shi Yoo was really good as the bad guy and the transformation of his character from the innocent royal boy to a rougthless politician was amazing. The ending was good as well. Another thing that worked for the drama was the intensity of the story. As it was based on true events, the drama was even more powerful.

However, other than the parts of it that were boring, the romance had only a few good moments as well. I understand that they wanted to focus more on the tragedy and less on the love story. However, a milde romance just didn't feat well.

So, six out of ten.

Very good acting from all the actors and actresses. Slow but has a meaningful and exciting storyline. Sometimes things get really "fictional", which means that some things in the drama are unlikely to happen in real life. But overall a really good drama!
