This series is much improved now we're following a linear timeline. No need to jump back to explain anything, no need to show a future event to foreshadow it. Just take it all as it happens and enjoy the ride. (I wish we'd gotten here sooner!)

Even the events are more settled, in one place, with more of a permanent cast now, because before Iljimae travelled so much and met so many people. Both ways have their pros and cons, but we can use this solidness right now after all the moving and changing around. I'm not questioning what he does so much as I have been before, practically screaming "SHOW ME, DON'T JUST TELL ME, I NEED TO KNOW WHY!" at the screen XD Things are being shown more.

Episode Ten was a definite highlight, some wonderful moments in there for me. And now I need to go onwards desperately!




- The Return of Iljimae, Episode 9: Oh Wol-Hee, so quiet but demanding. I don't know if it's amusing, or if they're setting yuo up to grate on my nerves eventually. I hope not!

Well I'd say it's pretty damn obvious this Bi-Su dude will be Iljimae's next big bad.

LOL I love this double act, they're so odd but so cute. Cha-Dol, Seon-Dal <3

That's about typical, Iljimae hasn't actually told her anything. He's very close-mouthed, but I did think he trusted her. She trusts him. (And one smile from him and she forgets he still hasn't told her anything).

Pah, Hweng Bo, Iljimae has learnt far more than when you tricked him. He'll run circles around you now. AND EVERY NOISE YOU MAKE IS SO ANNOYING. Please do something with him Iljimae, get rid of him, I'm getting bored of him.

Aha, here's that big bad dude Bi-Su!

How the crap does the Chief of Police infiltrate a gang? You send a much lesser known person, way down the hierarchy!

Awww that's pretty cute. That thing is a RICE BOWL?! So much for the ashes theory. (Did they cremate or bury anyway?) LOL, that note pretty much equates to, "I've gone to work, if the food sucks DEAL WITH IT, you're a man, not a whiny child!" After all, Iljimae hasn't got a job XD

Oh Wol-Hee, don't run your mouth too much :x I love the spark but honestly, he's rich and powerful, he'll do something to you. Choose your battles carefully!

Ah it wouldn't be a drama without suggestion of rape or at the very least sexual harrassment now, would it? Iljimae was even quicker than I expected! XD

Ohmygod they're going to play it like this? She surely worked it out, and yet he's not going to spill, and she's not going to confront him with it? (Funny how they're just walking around the marketplace so casually when we know Cha-Dol, Seon-Dal, Officer Gu, Su-Ryeon, Bi-Su, any of them would love to get their hands on Iljimae!)

WHAT PART OF UNDERCOVER DID THE KID NOT UNDERSTAND? Cha-Dol you're supposed to be street-smart! ...Something big, suspicious and potentially dangerous is happening - let's go!

Haha, I knew the funeral was set up to let the other gang think they had the opportunity to ambush. As if they'd all gather in a place, weaponless, like lambs to the slaughter.

...So they're the type who scream before they attack, giving plenty of warning to the enemy just in case the wanted to arm themselves with those weapons they've got stashed already. Dumbasses ;D

I love how this conversation comes up - "Iljimae didn't come", "Even Iljimae can't know everything". Nope, this wasn't any of his concern, he's probably laying low for a while because of Bi-Su anyway. Ah, he did watch! Well that ruins that, hero does know everything and is everywhere after all.

LOL WHO STRUNG THAT DUDE UP THERE? IT *WAS* ILJIMAE! Is she that dense, she's trying to work it out? It's OBVIOUS, just confront him! I can't bear secrets. Or is this a case of, "he wants to keep it secret for a reason so I'll respect that"? (Still stupid). Yep, guess it is. LOL he's not even going to answer that, not even a, "I should be worried that another man is saving you and avenging you", because that would be a lie XD

So drunken police officer was in the episode as another person infiltrating the gangs? And his kicking out of the police was faked for that purpose
And what does he get for it? He saves Gu's life and gets stabbed himself. Looks like he might... die after giving some useful information? Talk about well-timed, hmm?

Of course Iljimae is at this ambush watching too. I guess since he hasn't got a job and all, he has the time to follow people and know exactly what's going on everywhere. And only participate when he has to.




- The Return of Iljimae, Episode 10: Su-Ryeon, you are so badass, girl!

Well, one gang out of two elminated is better than none.

How is that being careful when the Bongseoni ALWAYS WEAR THOSE ROBES?

All Iljimae and Wol-Hee seem to do is window shop XD

NO WAY?! GEOL-CHI?! (Although it has taken him three and more years to come back here after Iljimae left this village he lived in). So pitiful here compared to in the village content as a fisherman. Iljimae, save him :x

Hehehehe I love Cha-Dol and Seon-Dal, I can't say it enough.

What is Hweng Bo doing? ILJIMAE SENT WOL-HEE. That's kind of awesome. So he told her about Geol-Chi, and trusted her to save him, and not to get captured or hurt. (Although wanna bet he's nearby watching over them both? They're both precious to him). Awwww Geol-Chi is going to be the informant! Flush out that gang! Wol-Hee finds him amusing, but considering the life Geol-Chi has had I wouldn't be surprised if he was a little unhinged by now.

SU-RYEON IS BADASS AGAIN. I'm guessing ljimae has been following everything as it happens.

Gu, you'll only find him if he wants to be found. I love how he wears the mask and yet everyone knows who he is XD lol

THANK GOD THAT CAME OUT. Now he knows where his mother is. Iljimae should be less careless with those throwing stars, he'll run out of them!

AWWWW. Such an odd couple, and I can't believe Cha-Dol still flinches at the sight of a hand raised near him.

Ooo-er, this moment! He finally confronts her about why she has never questioned him, who he is, what he does - not when they first met, and not now. She was scared her questions would drive him away, refusing to reveal his secrets. It sounds like Iljimae is ready to tell her anythin she wants to ask. I wonder if she will even want to ask anymore, just knowing he's ready to share may be enough :)

Of course Iljimae is staking them out, seeing what they're about so he can pounce later XD

Ahahahaha from grabbing a dude by the jewels to making those men strip, this whole scene is pretty hilarious. LOL, THEY'RE WORRIED ABOUT THEIR CLOTHES RIGHT NOW? LMAO ONE OF THE DUDES TIED UP JUST SAID THAT TOO. It's like he heard me!

OH GEOL-CHI, I LOVE YOU. "If I'm to live with Iljimae I will need a house."

"I'll give the large room to Iljimae, another to you, and take the small one. It'll be far from the large room so you won't have to worry about me disturbing you." See, Geol-Chi isn't silly. I was wondering when he was going to ask if Wol-Hee was Iljimae's girlfriend xD I guess he just decided he knew so why ask! ;D

ILJIMAE IS IN THERE GIGGLING HIS LITTLE HEART OUT. Why doesn't he just go out to see Geol-Chi? Why does he insist on letting Wol-Hee deal with him?

AHAHAHA SHE JUST SAID IT PLAIN. SHE'S THINKING ABOUT MARRIAGE AND ILJIMAE IS FREAKED. OUT.

Ah! It's the bully who was going to buy the land of that village Iljimae saved. The small amount of money he was going to give the man for his land xD

...But Iljimae wasn't there to keep Geol-Chi from being beaten up. And Officer Gu has to work inside the law, which protects the rich and influencial right now. Iljimae really hasn't done enough for Geol-Chi right now, he could've met him properly and invited him into Wol-Hee's home without all this.

Especially when he's now in the damn bully's home anyway! It's not like he needed a way to find where he lived (how would Geol-Chi have found out?), or to stake it out and learn where things were if he wasn't even there to see in advance.

LOL, "IT'S A THIEF". BUT HE LEFT GOLD. Dumbest idea for a trademark ever or what? Throwing gold plum blossoms around to say "Hi, I was here!"

And he even tells people who he is now, while masked XD I actually love how the mask has no real purpose at all, perhaps intimidation.

It's not black and blue, actually your bruise is bright pink XD

LOL this huge ruse is hilarious and I have no idea why it's necessary! Does Iljimae think Geol-Chi won't accept the charity of living in their home? So if he buys the house it'll be his to ask them to live in?

OHMYGOD DON'T MAKE ME CRY AGAIN WHEN THEY'RE REUNITED, I CAN'T TAKE ALL OF THIS. EVEN WOL-HEE IS MOVED AND WANTS TO CRY LIKE I DO. I seriously love Geol-Chi and his boundless, unconditional love for Iljimae. I buy that so much more than any of the love relationships so far ;)

HE'S GOING TO SEE BAEK-MAE! HE IS, HE IS! But will she hear him out long enough to find out about Iljimae?

THAT'S IT, SU RYEON, GET IN THERE. Officer Gu is too meek around Baek-Mae!

Oh crap, I can't stop there NOW!
