I was watching W and Moon Lovers and thought that Han Hyo-joo and Lee Jun-ki should be in a sageuk together. I had no idea that they already had a project together before. So, I picked up Iljimae and finished it during the weekend. The Story A Robin Hood story will always be an awesome sight specially when set as a historical drama. When I watch historical dramas, I have this feeling that it is bound for a doomed ending. Iljimae is a character that I like really slowly during the drama. Well, it is difficult to like a hero who is a bum and as worse as thugs. The drama manage to make every single obstacle and heartbreak matter on how to turn Ryung into the Iljimae everyone admire. The hero is imperfect but his cause is for the people. Sometimes, I do get confused with the flow of the story because I feel like I've been missing out on a few things caused by some inconsistencies. There were scenes that should have been during the night but suddenly becomes morning. That's just a small thing I noticed but I did get confused. Other than that, everything works for me. The Cast Lee Jun-ki will always be good in a sageuk. He really knows where he excels and totally loks good. It breaks my heart everytime I see him agonized. What a way to steal hearts. Though I like Jun-ki, I sometimes do hate how his character remain to be the easygoing and selfish. But that is his mask to protect his identity that I am painfully watching him act stupid. The supporting cast is amazing because I get to care for each of them, though I really don't remember their names. Hehe. I mind how their fates are tied to Iljimae and keep on rooting for them to have a happy ending. And, I wouldn't miss to mention how adorable Yoo Jin-goo and Kim Yoo-jung is as the young version of our leads. They are so cute that I'm pinching their cheeks while watching it. :) I want to watch Han Yoo-joo and Lee Jun-ki together again to live an alternate life that is sweet and breezy. Rewatch Value I don't mind watching it again. Though sageuks really are a bit of a challenge. Overall I'm not really fond of historical dramas but I always tune in to Lee Jun-ki's. This one did not magically enchant me to love it but I felt compelled to watch every single episode and invested on how he will achieve his goals as Iljimae while keeping the people he loves safe.
