loved it!

[eviechang-63969 · 9/10 · 11 July 2021]

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!

This is a satisfying drama with an involving plot, believable relationships and great performances, most particularly from Yeri Han, an actress I would like to see again.

Slow but watchable

Decent entertainment if you've run out of things to watch. Even though its based on real events I hope those main battle strategies were fiction or that General is probably the worst General in World history having his men continuously run into a hail of bullets.

Nice drama

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

Good Enough

[PennyReviews · 6/10 · 28 July 2019]

"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.

Revolting peasants

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.

Decent

[Park_Min · 6/10 · 19 September 2023]

It's a decent drama but a few things held it back. Inconsistent pacing was too obvious to ignore. The inconsistency carries on with the writing, sometimes they are strategic and smart while other times they throw themselves as a human shield, this is coming from the same army and the same leadership. I liked the leading cast they did a good job but I wish they put more effort into writing the character Yi Hyun. While the romance is a side thing, they could have given it more attention to let it mature and develop more appropriately or remove the romance altogether. Their encounters were scarce which made the high moments less impactful due to the lack of investment in their relationship. Anyway, the drama is one of the better historical ones.
