There is no real reason to keep putting it off — it is right there on Kocowa.

Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, The Tale of Nokdu earns its spot. The jokes in The Tale of Nokdu land because the characters underneath them are worth caring about.

Between them, Jang Dong-yoon and Kim So-hyun carry the comedy without ever forcing it. The Tale of Nokdu premiered in 2019. The timing in The Tale of Nokdu is precise enough that even the throwaway lines land on a second watch. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.

The Tale of Nokdu is the kind of thing you put on in the background and end up fully watching. Fans of My Dearest Nemesis will recognise the sensibility here immediately.
