This is the story
of Iljimae, from his birth to his fame. Iljimae
(Jung Il Woo) grew up believing
he was the son of his Chinese adoptive parents, until one day, a man comes by
an gives him a letter his real mother had written him when he was a baby. He leaves
his childhood home to find his father and mother, but when he arrives in front
of his house he refuses to see him as his son. To make things worse the man who
said to be his friend, the one who told him about his parents, betrays him,
leaving Iljimae in fury and decides to run away to the mountains. There he
meets Dal Yi (Yoon Ji Seo) and her father; he falls in love with her and they
live together for some time until the royal guards find them, and it’s found
out that Dal Yi is the daughter of a noble man who betrayed the king and the
man who was her father is that noble man’s right hand. The two get executed in
front of Iljimae, which leads to him going out in rage. He destroys most of the
city, and the police try and find him. As he runs away he hides in a house, and
sees a girl, Wol Hee who looks exactly alike like Dal Yi. She saves him and he
disappears.
Several years
later, Iljimae re-appears, fighting against the corrupt, steals from the rich
and gives it to the poor…
I have no idea why,
but I really love this drama! I honestly hate most historical dramas, but
somehow this one was amazing, and the couple was perfect. I remember finishing
and somehow my heart dropped by the thought that I wouldn’t be seeing this
couple anymore.
I think the reason I
like this drama has to be that I’m able to follow, since there is someone
updating me all the time (the narrator talks in between), and it switches from
sad to light comedy to love story. Oh yeah, and I’ve fallen in love with Jung
Il Woo too… My crush list keeps growing *sigh* Somehow he reminds me more of ‘Iljimae’
than Lee Jun Ki. (I did not say that out loud :P)
I would recommend
it, but it’s nothing like the other Iljimae, nor does it have anything to with
the other drama, so don’t expect that…
