Drama, my heart. I would hand it to you but you've already torn it out violently and trodden on it, ripped it to shreds, and laughed about it. I don't know if I can go on.

...Who am I kidding, I can't stop like this, not when we're so close to the end. HOW THE FUCK IS THIS GOING TO END? HOW?




- The Return of Iljimae, Episode 21: Of course Iljimae isn't invincible XD He does a lot of dangerous stuff, and the writers have always loved to torture him anyway! XD

Sung Kae is quite the bumbling fool XD Iljimae is seriously injured and he's still petrified of him!

Well, that was karma. One good deed hardly outweighs a lifetime of bad, unless we're going to start philosophizing. And I am not XD

I was about to complain about the fact that he should surely have internal injuries and be unable to go on like that, but he's so pretty when he suffers :x And he is tripping over and suffering a LOT *_*

Sung Kae didn't even manage to kill either of them!

Yang Po is very caring in his way :x

NO EXPLANATIONS, JUST ILJIMAE WITH MOMMEE <3333 I'm glad for once we see him wake and speak to someone - so many times we skip that part from him being unconscious to him suddenly interacting and living with those who saved him ;)

Geol-Chi! <333 "Why do you do this, why do you do that?" WHEN HE IS WITH HER EVERYTIME, KNOWING THE DANGER JUST TO LOOK AFTER HER <333

Hehehehe, I love how straightforward they are with each other. WHY CAN'T EITHER OF YOU WORK THINGS OUT?! OOOOH <333

OHSOCUTE. Urgh. He wants to stop her but lets her touch his face, she calls him beautiful (not "pretty like a girl" :P)

OH I LOVE YOU. "Didn't you tell me to believe you weren't a bad person? We all have things we can't speak of."

EEEEEEEEEEEP. OHGOD. NOT FAIR. ILJIMAE, WORK IT OUT NOW. YOU KNOW WHERE YOU ARE, WHERE SHE WAS SAID TO LIVE, SHE WAS LOOKING FOR HER SON IN HANYANG WHERE YOU LIVED. EVEN IF YOU DIDN'T SAY IT TO HER, TELL ME YOU'VE WORKED IT OUT.

IS THAT THE POEM SHE WROTE. DOES HE STILL CARRY IT WITH HIM EVEN NOW OMG.

This is the biggest driving force I have for this whole story, his search for his mother. THIS is the part that really gets me. I think because I have such a wonderful relationship with my own mother it means more to me.

ILJIMAE RECOGNISES THE FOOD SHE COOKED, DOESN'T HE? COME ON, COME ON, COME ON. HE KNOWS AND HE ISN'T GOING TO SAY SO. EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE OMFG. "I WISH I COULD EAT THIS EVERY DAY." YOU CUTEASS. I love how he's an adult grown now and yet nobody blinks at the thought that he and his mother would want to live together as a family (even though they both sort of have lovers now XD). It's the FAMILY part that gets me. Because although they are blood-related they haven't been together like blood families usually are. So it is a kind of make-shift family. The kind I love, the kind where you choose to love someone <33333 (And Iljimae is already choosing to love her, I can see :D He wanted to find his mother, but what guarantee was there she would be a good person? BUT SHE IS.)

I also effing love this shaman woman. She's overdramatic but effective, and very beautiful.

Oh Geol-Chi <3333 You sweetheart. Able to admit Iljimae is not treating Wol-Hee well enough, and asking her to find happiness elsewhere. She can't, but it's sweet that he wants more for her, even at the expensive of the baby he raised.

As for this "he said he'll come", it's stupid to take him so literally. Iljimae meant "stay here while the attack takes place and I will come to take you to safety afterwards", not "stay there forever even if you die" after he disappears, presumed wounded or dead.

LOL, oh narrator XD This one time you make me laugh!

HAS BAEK-MAE NOT YET ASKED HIS NAME OMG. He would probably lie anyway, BUT STILL.


URGH, STOP KILLING ME. AND STOP LYING OHMYGOD YOU BAD BOY. DON'T MAKE HER CRY!

HA, THAT TEACHES YOU NOT TO LIE. BUT YOU'RE STILL LYING!

NONONONO. Oh he made her giggle. But I do not like that he lied, he's giving her more bad impressions when she'd decided to give him the benefit of the doubt. And one day she will know he purposely lied to her :x

DON'T MAKE ME CRY, SHOW. God, I wish Iljimae would stop fucking things up.

Geol-Chi, for God's sake leave her to sulk. And Wol-Hee gets kidnapped AGAIN. I think we need some new plotlines; no more 'Iljimae gets knocked out and treated by strangers', and no more 'Wol-Hee gets kidnapped', please.

At least he did go back there, although it makes no sense to me. Who in their right mind would stay at a place that was purposely raided? (Maybe he and Wol-Hee both know she's no longer in her right mind XD She's become just about as fucked up as he is).

Nice cut. From Iljimae finding Geol-Chi to Iljimae spying on Kim Ja Jeom's house, no unnecessary explaining onscreen what we already know to catch the characters up, just a nicem easy assumption that it's been done.

Cha-Dol has urchin friends who sniff out information obviously XD So cute.

No, Kim Ja Jeom, of course you aren't XD

Go Cha-Dol! Am glad the kid get to show off his street smarts again :D Even if the narrator thinks we're all stupid still.

Did Cha-Dol get caught? :( Oh, no, lucky! LOL, Iljimae! Cute fistbump.

Aww I was hoping he'd either waltz in and start gambling (how many men actually know his face?), or masquerade as a gisaeng one last time, even though he'd need time to dress up for that. Never mind XD

I am wondering why this was all made so difficult, because I'm assuming Kim Ja Jeom wanted to get Iljimae there, only to incapacitate him with the sound of drums and then potentially kill him? Will we have a final showdown type thing where Iljimae needs to overcome his trauma over the drums to save Wol-Hee? Like, last time he couldn't do anything to save Dal, but this time he can if he can overcome it?

Iljimae met Bi-Su before, did he never learn his name either? Gosh I need to rewatch for the little details! :x

Is Iljimae realising that even if he doesn't care about his own life, he can't keep his promise to Wol-Hee to have a happily ever after someday if he is dead? :/

Aww he loves Geol-Chi, the closest guy he has to a father-figure, if a bad one ;)

What has Baek-Mae written? Or- Is it just about her, not from her? It certainly ruffled his feathers :x

It's a mini-Iljimae! A decoy XD Oh Cha-Dol, you're so cute. And your little girlfriend is spunky!

BI-SU TIME. LET'S HAVE A FIGHT TO THE DEATH! OR SOMETHING.

OR JUST CLIFFHANGER IT RIGHT THERE :P

Previews: ...Iljimae is captured and imprisoned fairly? Kim Ja Jeom doesn't have him killed slyly? I mean, I assumed Iljimae is still to be executed, but I would've thought Kim Ja Jeom had no trouble with getting Bi-Su to do that himself. But that would be too easy, and Iljimae has to live XD

BUT OFFICER GU MIGHT DIE? WHYYYY SHOW, WHY? PLEASE BE A FAKE-OUT. IT'S NOT LIKE HE WOULD BE IN THE WAY OF ILJIMAE AND HIS MOTHER REUNITING, HE'S NOT A THIRD-WHEEL LOVE INTEREST.



- The Return of Iljimae, Episode 22: Oh Cha-Dol XD

Wouldn't have touched that if I were you, that's the kind of weapon people notoriously dip in poison before using.

Hi sexy sword dance XD (You have to call these movements dance; they even call it choreography when they design it!)

Are rubber boots really accurate to the time period here? XD I personally think the straw sandal things are cute, if not practical.

Iljimae carries a lot of crap around with him xD

COULD'VE DONE THAT BEFORE BI-SU GOT WOUNDED. HOW CHARMING.

Hmmm, so it didn't go that way after all. Wol-Hee is safe, this is just going to keep Iljimae from escaping too. Which is what mattered to him so why would he try to fight it? (It's almost as lame a weakness as Kryptonite ;D)

...Is Officer Gu going to pit himself directly against Kim Ja Jeom in the end? After warning Iljimae so many times to pick his battles carefully?

HI SEXY. HI CHANNELING DAM-DUK AGAIIIIIN. I HOPE HE STUDIED LEGEND *HARD* :x

LOL, KIM JA JEOM IS LETTING YOU GO DOWN, PEOPLE.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOH. ILJIMAE SENT THE LETTER. Smart boy to the end; see, he wasn't on a suicide mission! ...Uhm, not at Bi-Su's hand anyway. Haha, Iljimae just said the same thing, basically, "even if I get caught, it is not by your hand".

Hi loophole! "If a criminal turns himself in, his punishment will be one degree less". Exile rather than execution.

Good god he's so pretty. I WOULD WATCH HIM SUFFER FOREVERRRRRRRRRRRRRR.

Oh dear. Iljimae is keeping his mouth shut to Officer Gu as well. He has met his mother several times! She doesn't know it, but he does now.

OH THAT MOMENT WHERE HE CAN'T QUITE SMILE IN IRONY, BECAUSE HE'S GOING TO DIE. ARRRRGGGGHH.

...What does Kim Ja Jeom have up his sleeve? OH HOW DISGUSTING. THE ONE THING ILJIMAE HAS NEVER DONE - WORKED AVIDLY AGAINST! - IS COMMIT TREASON! He has no reason to be loyal to Joseon considering he didn't even know he was a countryman until he went there! But he does what is RIGHT anyway. KIM JA JEOM YOU'RE OFFICIALLY IN BIG-BAD ENEMY TERRITORY NOW. EVIL MAN.

AND JUNG IL-WOO. UNF. OMFG HE IS CHANNELING SO MUCH DAM-DUK I AM GOING TO DIE RIGHT NOW.

Yup, that's helpful. Sob, faint, or wail about it XD

Yeah, I think Officer Gu is going to possibly break Iljimae out all to keep his promise to Baek Mae :x Iljimae REALLY should've told him they'd met before! HIS LIES HURT EVERYONE.

God, he does some really unlikable things, but so often thinks he's doing them for the right reason, or being smart. I've never known a character like it. One you should really want to shoot, but can't help but root for :x

Oh crap, he is going to die. That was the moment of hesitation, when he wonders if there's something he should say to her before he dies. He knows he's on a suicide mission to save Iljimae. AND THE NARRATOR SAID SU RYEON WILL NEVER FORGET THAT MOMENT WHEN HE JUST LET HER WALK AWAY.

I DON'T WANT HIM TO DIE!

I thought he'd already put all of this together OMG ILJIMAE WHY ARE YOU SO STUPID? THIS IS WHY HE ACTUALLY HASN'T SAID ANYTHING. DAMMIT.

OH CRAP DON'T MAKE ME CRY YOU ARE STUPID AND I THOUGHT YOU KNEEEEEEEEEEEEEW!

OH GOD. NOW YOU SEE WHY YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE LIED TO HER ALL THOSE TIMES! JESUS, ILJIMAE YOU STUPID FUCKING IDIOT BOY - GO MAKE UP FOR IT!

...If Officer Gu has to die just so Iljimae can get a second chance after lying his ass off to the woman he didn't know what his mother... ARE THERE ANY LIVES HE HASN'T RUINED?

Oh good god we aren't going to watch him sit, knowing he is going to die for helping Iljimae escape, sat there all night in that fucking prison cell reminiscing :X I AM GOING TO CRY BIGTIME.

HE ACTUALLY KILLED HIMSELF. I CAN'T BELIEVE HE DID THAT, THAT MADE ME GASP OUT LOUD AND REALLY CRY. WHY DID YOU DO THAT?!

Oh God, this will never end. Did he not see they would pin his death on Iljimae, as a way to escape? They'll never be able to admit he just let Iljimae go.

Oh, Su Ryeon :x

...What the hell is going to happen now. I always wondered where this drama was going, how it was going to end, but... How can Iljimae save the country from invasion and make sure all the truths come out NOW? It seems impossible.

"WE can't mourn forever," IT'S BEEN LIKE, NOT EVEN A DAY. SHUT UP, DICKHEAD. I WILL MOURN GU AS LONG AS I LIKE FOR BEING A STUPID IDIOT AND KILLING HIMSELF.

OOH OOOH. SU RYEON WILL KNOW ILJIMAE DIDN'T DO IT... Uhm, please tell me she's covering and pretending she blames Iljimae. She knows the faith Gu had in him. She even knows Gu expected to die to save Iljimae.

...ILJIMAE YOU ARE SO MIXED UP. Although it clearly is much safer to go to his mother than to stay in Hanyang, but they're going to bypass one another, aren't they? And she will go to Hanyang and hear that he has escaped, and Gu is dead :x Will SHE have faith? Only Gu has ever really believed in Iljimae's will to do good, without ever doubting him. Seon-Dal and Cha-Dol have been pretty good about it, but they've worried over Iljimae. Wol-Hee loses faith all the time (can't blame her, from her perspective).

...Or she'll just turn back home and write a letter to Officer Gu saying that's it, all over now? :x IF SHE FUCKING KILLS HERSELF TOO I WILL NEVER FORGIVE THIS SHOW. But she can't, or Iljimae will go completely insane, and probably kill himself, and then... Korea is known for "rocks fall, everybody dies" storylines :x

DON'T DO IT TO MEEEEEEEEEEE.

THAT IS A TINY PACKET OF POISON ISN'T IT.

OH SHIT OH SHIT OH SHIT YES THOSE SHOES MEAN SHE'S HOME. BUT SHE MAY BE DEAD ALREADY.

DON'T END THERE! SHOW, DON'T END THERE!

NO, THOSE PREVIEWS TELL ME SHE'S ALREADY TAKEN THE POISON AND HE ONLY GETS TO TELL HER WHO HE IS BEFORE SHE DIES. NOOOOOOOOOO!
