Iljimae

Iljimae

Set during the Joseon Dynasty, Yong acted as a hooligan in the marketplace by day but at night he was a thief who robbed corrupted government officials to give to the poor. After each robbery he left behind a painting depicting a plum tree branch to make his mark and was thus named Iljimae. His main purpose was not so much to rob but to search for the owner of a specially designed sword which he saw as a child was used to kill his father, a loyal subject of the emperor. Eun Chae is a government official’s daughter who despite her upbringing has a lot of empathy towards the poor. She met Iljimae by chance and couldn’t help admiring him for what he stood for even though she had never seen his face.

  1. STUPID DRAMA THE SCRIPT IS USELESS GEOM ILJIMAE DIED OR WHAT..??????THE ENDING IS FULL OF SUSPENSE…

  2. this was the very first korean drama i saw way way back before the korean drama fever started. I instantly fell in love with Lee joon Gi here and has been a fan ever since. His cheerfulness is infectious and his drama acting is really good. I specially love the action/fight scenes since he does these himself . Love Love this! This is still the best historical drama for me.
