Two down, four to go omg! XD

- The Return of Iljimae, Episode 19: It's the moments when Iljimae speaks well and battles wits with these trained fighters that he seems so grown up xD But then he gew up noble, and he had those skills early on in life. He forgot himself and became wild, then slowly, slowly came back to some of his former self, and part something entirely new and matured :) This show has been one of the best depictions of coming of age.
DREAM TEEEEEEEEEEEAM COMBINATION! EEEEEEEEE.
Aww their early versions of guns have limitations. Interesting!
Is Iljimae going to sway the hunters? XD Winning with words! :D
lol, they dug a tunnel in. Must've been hard though, out of them all only Iljimae has known a day's hard work! Cha-Dol was an urchin, Seon-Dal a scholar-noble, and Geol-Chi a beggar XD I LOVE THE MOST UNLIKELY DREAM TEAM COMBOS.
We're back to "where is Iljimae", but this time Wol-Hee has faith in him <3 I like when things aren't repetitive because the writers have no ideas, but to make a point as to how far things have actually come ;)
AWWWWWWWWWWW. Oh Wol-Hee, she's got so much spunk XD Pretending to put on a brave face, then hitting him for taking so long to save her ;)
Oh, incompetent police XD
LOL ILJIMAE WILL YOU EVER STOP BEING DUMB IN THE CUTEST WAYS? XD
DID HE FALL ASLEEP WAITING FOR YOU WOL-HEE? XD HOW RUDE! And he's already gone when she wakes up. Things don't change so easily :x Iljimae is used to the being silent and doing things alone!
Iljimaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaae <3333
I don't know that Wol-Hee is going to be impressed at this :x Seeeeeee? She's really childish about this point. When he says he won't leave her again he doesn't mean LITERALLY :P She knows that.
...Dude is this about his mother? I mean, why couldn't I have worked this out? Because he never mentioned her so directly before? The powerless people suffer, like his mother did. So he always does it all with her in mind? I sort of love his devotion to the woman he still doesn't know :x
AND OMG YOU TWO. HE IS SO CRYING. ONE DAY YOU'LL BE ABLE TO SETTLE DOWN TOGETHER, JUST SUFFER FOR NOW. OR SOMETHING.
AND YOU TWO, TOO! XD XD XD YOU WONDERFUL PAIR OF CUTE FOOLS. CHA-DOL! SEON-DAL! <3
(Medicine? Can we place bets now that ginseng helps with pregnancy sickness? XD And that Wol-Hee will meet Iljimae's mother without either of them knowing who the other is?)
Hello second prediction immediately coming true xD Only a brief meeting, but it'll keep happening I'm sure.
Yes, Yang Po is from Qing :P Called it! And I believe I called that he wanted to take Iljimae back to Qing too. AND I CALLED THAT HE WAS ON BEHALF OF ILJIMAE'S ONCE-FIANCEE TOO.
Being right doesn't disappoint me. I don't consider it predictable, because it wasn't completely obvious whether I was right, I just saw each thing as a strong possibility. And us viewers had enough other plot threads keeping our attention to not make us feel things were being hidden too long and dragged out unneccesarily.
LOL, SOPHISTICATED PLAN. "I can't force Iljimae... but you can! Knock him out and drag him back to Qing!"
STUPID MONK. Iljimae isn't going to kill Kim Ja Jeom. SHUT UP.
I'm still seeing total Stockholm there everytime Iljimae defers to the monk :x
This episode was very lacking in action when you think about it! Previews for the next one look pretty exciting though!

- The Return of Iljimae, Episode 20: Calling an episode 'The Great Explosion' is quite a good way to grab my attention early on, yes XD
LOL.
(I thought explosives came from China in the first place, lol. For this purpose they're from Europe?)
Monks, monks everywhere. Will evil!monk appear?
OH WOL-HEE DO SHUT UP, LOL. "I think I'll just return to being a prisoner." Overdramatic, what? XD
Geol-Chi is comfortable enough with her now to be able to tell her to stop her whining ;) If keeping these men fed isn't important then what is? If war broke out because they couldn't create the cannon Wol-Hee might never see Iljimae again then either.
Or she'll just be threatened by strange men again. Now THAT part gets a little grating. "She's a woman therefore she must be kidnapped and harrassed all the time!"
At least Iljimae was there watching over her ;)
Officer Gu, tell everyone <3333 You love Baek-Maaaeeee XD
At least some things got straightened out there.
Iljimae doesn't hide well does he? XD
Oh, Wol-Hee, your life is so emo. Apparently Iljimae has become your only reason to live or smile or care about anything. WAKE UP WOMAN.
And stop being a baby! YOU KNOW WHAT IS IMPORTANT. He's trying to make sure no-one connects him to this plot or it might taint everything!
This is something I loved in Joseon X-Files. The way they show a culture adapting and moving forward with technology, developing guns and cannons for weaponry!
HELLO GEOL-CHI SAID MISCARRIAGE. I CALLED IT XD
Awww is Iljimae sad to miss out on the exitement? :(
And everyone converges on one place again!
NOW IS NOT THE TIME TO BE A BRAT. Exactly, Iljimae spells it out - if you act like this there won't be a future for the two of you!
HE DIDN'T KNOW THAT WAS ILJIMAE? WHY DID I NOT REMEMBER THAT?
That was pretty cool *_*
Oops, here come the warning drums XD
Well he isn't going to be blown up, I know that much!
Holy crap that was some explosion.
Kim Ja Jeom is such a sick dude! Laughing at the explosion, the misery :x
OH HWENG BO YOU IDIOT XD What can Iljimae do to you now? ;)
Hi evil!monk. I'm guessing Kim Ja Jeom thinks everything is coming together now just as they are going to take Iljimae back to Qing! :x
LOL SLEEPY!SNUGGLES TIME.
Wow, Sung-Kae found himself on the right side of the battle this time, he doesn't want Qing to invade :x
ILJIMAE STAYS WITH MOMMEEE FOR HIS RECOVERY PREVIEWS SAY. AND I'M SURE THEY STILL HAVE NO IDEA WHO THE OTHER IS BUT WHO FRICKING CARES I WILL TAKE WHAT I CAN GET!
