Iljimae, a drama I just finished watching, has made it onto my top five kdramas to watch list!!! Iljimae is finny, dramatic, heart-wrenching, tear-jerking, and suspenseful! A must watch!!!!! The Korean's have this thing for conspiracy. I don't normally watch period dramas, but this has changed my opinion entirely!
Iljimae has a hint of romance for you people like me who can't watch it if there isn't even a hint of romance. He meets his first love early in his life. He watches his father be murdered before his eyes, is cast out as a traitor's son and needs to learn to survive. He meets a brother and sister who take him in. The brother is killed and the sister's wherabouts are soon unknown. Iljimae's sister is also lost. His mother is caught and he is forced to throw a rock at her. He watched his father's corpse be torn apart. He then loses his memory and is taken in by a nice family whose child was sent to live as a minister's son. It skips forward and he begins to remember his past and vows to make his father's killer stand before him. He goes through many trials to become a thief and is named iljimae. He searches for his sister and mother. He finds his sister but she is hung before his eyes. He falss for the girl of his past (but he doesn't know it). He keeps trying and when he goes i
n to finally confirm his father's murderer he sees his mother. He succeeds in his mission but the murderer's servant slashes him! Is he alive or dead?! Watch to find out!!!!
SPOILER ALERT!!!!!Even if you watch you won't know if he's alive or not! At the end one of his old friends is telling a story about the return of iljimae and only starts it before switching to a clip of him stealing and then
a close up on his face! and then . . . .
THE END!!!!! YES FOLKS, THAT'S IT!!!!! THAT'S THE END OF ILJIMAE!!!!!!
There is a series called "the Return of Iljimae" but it's a different time period and plot. I'm not sure I can handle it!
