The Tale of Nokdu (Season 1)

The Tale of Nokdu (조선로코 녹두전, 2019) is a Korean historical romantic comedy you can watch online on iFILM. Set during the Joseon era, nobleman Jeon Nok-du goes on the run after a near-assassination attempt and finds the only safe place to hide is a village inhabited entirely by widows — dressed as a woman.

Jang Dong-yoon and Kim So-hyun lead the 32-episode KBS2 series directed by Kim Dong-hwi. The disguise gets complicated fast: Nok-du falls for Dong-joo, a spirited young woman being pushed into training as a gisaeng against her will. The comedy stays sharp, the period detail is light, and the mystery of who ordered the hit runs underneath both. Stream all episodes of The Tale of Nokdu online on iFILM.
