Nooooo ... I don't wanna see my baby Nokdu cry.. are we going to see some angst tomorrow then. Although I really love the comedy aspect of this and I still want them to maintain it but I'd love to see those heavy emotions from both JDY and KSH because they're pretty amazing actors. Even the webtoon isn't all fluff all the time .

Great they want us to cry buckets before moving the plot to the palace. I want the bed scene as compensation. Give it.

In what episode you're referring to where they escorted a man out of the temple? Do y ou mean in episode 5? Because that was Heo Yoon.

 

ah ha! So it was! 
I am not focusing on that you see ...

I like  when Nokdu and Dong-ju work together as a team.

Like when they made that arrow with a magnet.

Hopefully there will be more scenes like this.

 

So I like that they both will be in the palace.

Our heroine is not a damsel in distress.

She made the whole plan to attack the king.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If they move to the palace I'd assume its nokdu that follows dongjoo since she has the agenda to kill the king. What if nokdu is the son of the king then this become romeo and juliet? Great there goes the plan to kill the king.  I want dongjoo to become one of the assassins. Shoot down these evil ministers with her bow and arrow for taking up plot time.

Kim So Hyun And Jang Dong Yoon’s 1st Kiss Causes “The Tale Of Nokdu” Love Triangle To Heat Up

Get ready for more than one set of sparks to fly on KBS 2TV’s “The Tale of Nokdu”!

On the previous episode of “The Tale of Nokdu,” Nokdu (played by Jang Dong Yoon) confessed his feelings for Dong Joo (played by Kim So Hyun), then surprised her by going in for a kiss. Meanwhile, Yul Mu (played by Kang Tae Oh) discovered not only that Nokdu was actually a man, but also that he had feelings for Dong Joo and was, in fact, Yul Mu’s rival for her affections.

According to the drama’s producers, Nokdu and Dong Joo’s first kiss will lead to new tensions between the three characters entangled in the story’s main love triangle. They teased, “The unpredictable love triangle between Nokdu and Dong Joo, who have begun to fall deeply for one another, as well as Yul Mu, is just now kicking into gear. [The changes] will increase both the tension and the heart-fluttering feelings caused by their romance.”

On October 20, the drama also released a new sneak peek of the changing dynamics between the three leads. One set of photos shows Nokdu gazing imploringly at Dong Joo and appearing to plead with her while she stares coldly back at him, hinting that things between them have taken an unfortunate turn since their romantic first kiss.

Meanwhile, another set of photos captures a tense moment between Nokdu and Yul Mu, who now knows his secret. Despite his vulnerable situation, Nokdu looks undaunted as he levels a challenging gaze on the equally frosty Yul Mu.

The producers of the drama added, “As Nokdu and Dong Joo’s feelings grow stronger, the destiny in which they are entwined will start to change as well. You can safely look forward to the plot as it grows even more dynamic and engrossing.”

The next episode of “The Tale of Nokdu” will air on October 21 at 10 p.m. KST.

OMG i laughed so hard at this tweet like someone previously said i just hope that Yulmo doesnt ask of DongJoo to never see Nokdu again. because that would be a fairly easy win for him.. I do want to see the development of their romance and it continuing into something more like a bed scene or two 

`i hope they ship aungdu back to her home in the coming episodes, because she really gets on my nerves and makes everything worse.(she is a really good actress by the way)

 I guess that Yulmu will rely on Nokdu and Dongju's help to escape the village, so he has to join a hand keeping the secret. Base on the writer-nim style, maybe all the widows come back home after the festival and Yulmu stuck in that room. It's like Dead-by-the-women or Alive-with-secret. No time to bargain 

Yes, I hope they have something to do with AD too. She finished her mission of exploding seobangnim's secret here. They shouldnt let this cutiepie become annoying  

I read a comment on DC, they ask when will ND have a new hanbok, he wore the white/green one for at least 3ep 

[Sky8lue 4,444]

Aeng Du-ah, thanks to you, your Oraboni got outed at the most un-opportune moment of his life!

Think Aeng Du is here to stay for a while longer, because it's too unsafe to return to their village on the island now (remember Nokdu's father and brother got ambushed and are now on the run). And, we haven't seen this family-boating in the picturesque lake scene yet:

Remember the scene in the teaser where Dong Joo violently tries to cover Yulmu's mouth to prevent him from spilling the beans (oops....mung bean pun intended hahaha). Based on the teasers, we can tell Nokdu gets to keep the secret for now. I hope Yulmu doesn't end up being some antagonist who is the big bad boss behind the scenes. Since Dong Joo was betrothed to Yulmu in her childhood, she should have some basic idea of his family origins (as least what his family was in the past). Nothing too sinister has been hinted so far, so I doubt that there will be some crazy twist in the making.

 

Rather than having Yulmu tell Nokdu about Dong Joo's past, I hope Dong Joo will open up and share her story with Nokdu herself. And Nokdu too should tell Dong Joo the truth about why he's disguising himself as a widow in the Widow's Village. My wish: Let's keep the angst to episode 11 only and move on to greater things in episode 12! One more day to a new episode. Where is the fast forward button to take us to 10pm KST?

But i think Nokdu aengdu and aengdu's dad don't know about the new attack yet.. so maybe they'll find out when they return the kid to where she belongs.. 

 

I also hope they tell each other about their plans, but it seems difficult. Dongju is running away from her feelings(literally) and Nokdu does not seem ready to share his plans with anybody. He didn't even tell Dongju what he has been up to until now so i think it will take at least 3 episodes before he will spill the beans, mungbeans that is.. (i'm following your lead)

Edit: I really love the new OST, gummy always delivers quality music

Oh I agree with this! Should have thought of that - but it seems a lot more fitting and in line that he gets hit a few more times we know there's still one more whacking scene to come when they go to wash plates. at least DJ is somewhat consistent!

It looks for certain that their individual missions will lead them both to the palace, so as long as ND doesnt do the whole 'it is too dangerous for you to enter the palace' bit, then I'm happy. I'm on team he-is-not-the-prince but who knows what will happen. I think DJ got to know Hwang Tae as well in the webtoon, so I'm wondering when ND's family will cross paths with him again - before or after he runs into the palace?

In the age before mobile phones the first telephone, news travels slowly but hopefully Nokdu can reunite with his (adopted) father and brother very soon. Aeng Du's father doesn't look like some ordinary villager who happens to know martial arts too (just look at the martial arts prowess of his student, Nokdu).

 

HD photos of the new stills from http://enews.imbc.com/News/RetrieveNewsInfo/268369:

 

Spoiler

 

 

Since everyone is postulating about whether Nokdu is "crying" in the scene below. Here's my guess:

Spoiler

If you zoom in on Nokdu's hand, he's holding onto the hanbok's [pink ribbon (used to fasten the top). Which is an awkward thing to do if he's actually wiping away tears. My guess is he's trying to shield his face for some reason. So he's not crying but reacting to some situation. Nokdu's a sensitive new age guy (or mother), but tearing up because Dong Joo didn't accept his confession seems out of character.

You can always trust gummy for a great ost. Its already on melon top 100.

 

[aoikarin 149]

 

Yup I agree with @Sky8lue I don't think he's crying over DongJu.. the way he wipe his face? eyes? with his cloth is so unmanly.. is he still playing his Omoni's role? 

 

 

And instead of she leaked Nokdu's secret.. I think she's trying to flirt with Nokdu but Nokdu was too afraid Drunken Dongju would blow up his cover.. HAHAHAHA

Webtoon author is on a roll today!

Update: apparently this is drawn by the webtoon author's husband! Mentioned in her caption to the IG posts. No wonder the drawing style seems different. But he's really good too!

The GIF is from a drama called A Poem A Day (or You Who Forgot Poetry). It actually has a really endearing female lead and I liked the first half immensely but they pretty screwed up the second half.

 

Spoiler

The writer didn’t know who she wanted to get a girl, so she waited to see audience’s reaction. It turned out people thought the other guy was more suitable for a female lead so in order to make that guy shine the writer turned Jang Dong Yoon’s character into a huge jerk. 
 

Obviously fans were pissed and there was this nasty shipping war. I think the writer really wronged JDY too. Thank goodness he’s a such talented actor who managed to land a leading role even after that fiasco.

I love JDY's character in that drama... and once his character changed inconsistently I dropped the drama..  LOL

 

But for me, I'm glad he's taking Nokdu's role.. JDY is so beautiful
