Review on Korean Drama: Iljimae

Main Cast: Lee Joon Ki, Park Shi Hoo, Han Hyo Joo & Lee Young Ah.

1st Episode: Shows Iljimae robbing a royalty's house at the start which caught my eye. But after that, the story goes into the past before he became "robin hood". And that's when I started to fall asleep...haha...

The previous Korean drama that I watched before this is "Meeting the Perfect Neighbour" starring Park Shi Hoo, Kim Sung Ryung & a few other cast whom also starred in "Iljimae.

I've something to comment abt the character that Park Shi Hoo portrayed in both dramas. Too gloomy, i think.. :) He looks really good when he smiled. So dunno why the directors gave him these roles..haha... :p

Also the child star portrayed as the young Bong Soon, she's really CUTE. She has acted in "Wonderful Life" & "I Really Really Like You" which I watched. Her tears came flowing so naturally...wow...she will become a great actress in future! Very talented. :)

Another star I would like to comment is Kim Chang Wan (The King).
I watched other dramas like: Coffee Prince No. 1 & I Really Really Like You where his roles are kind & loving. (a fatherly figure) So is kinda weird, to see him act as a bad king. Haha...

And another character is the 'father' of Iljimae & the imperial guard, the part where he's dying...great acting skills.. i'm so sad when he died... *sob

Last but not least, Lee Joon Ki is good maybe cos he's majored in acting? (according to the record in DramaWiki) And he's also good in taekwando! Wow! Plus a 'pretty face'. Envy lei, complexion so good... :p

For his drama, I've only watched "My Girl" & "Ijimae". Movie: "Fly Daddy Fly". He keeps getting better and better. Maybe there'll be a I' 2? Haha...looking forward to it... :D

As the story goes on, everything fell into pieces. But the ending is in such a rush..everything is cramped into 1 episode...

Oh yes, the theme song: "Hwa Shin" by Park Hyo Shin is super good! Love the song! :) It always come in at the right time during the drama scenes.

I'll give this drama a rating of 9/10. :D
