Iljimae Episode 9 & 10

O-M-G! This is getting SO good!
I can't wait for the next episode of this.

Warning Spoilers!

Episode 9
Last episode it left off Yong meeting Eun Chae, then they started to sit on the tree like when they were young. I think both of them felt that each other is the one that they meet when they were young, just that it is still unsure.

The trick in stealing the money was discover by Shi Hoo, it was a smart trick but I wonder if he made that underground basement. It shows back a review of how Yong and the soldiers were before the money was stolen.

Sol Dol opens a lock store but benefits Yong as Sol Dol knows a lot about making locks which are sold to rich people. Then it talks about this black pearl that was within the box of money and all they want back is the black pearl which is meant to be given to the king. To capture Iljimae the government sent more guards and Yong was chased as he was suspicious. Eun Chae encounter this rich kid who wants to flirt with her, Yong appear to save her but was beaten up instead. This leaves a more deep impression to Eun Chae.

Something with the government about this guy and those guys are trying to make the king change his decision. As the money that Yong stolen was from the people at the supermarket, so he returned them all so he started being a chivalrous robber who robs corrupt government officials to give to the poor.

Afterward Yong and Shi Wan became good friends as Yong saved him in a gamble. Otherwise Shi Wan would looses one of his finger. This was a for Yong to get closer to Shi Wan so that he could find out who killed his father.

Episode 10
Bong Soon finally found out that Yong was the little kid that protected her when they were young. She then have confused feelings about it. On the other hand Eun Chae still remembers Geom, the little boy she met when they were young.

For the club meeting Yong disguised as another guy to get in, he was wearing a disguised mask that was made by his friend but it only last a certain amount of time otherwise it will harm his skin. He then got in and stolen the golden turtle.

When Yong was about to leave as he was just checked by Shi Wan, Shi Hoo suspect him as his mask is melting. His mask was about to be taken off by Shi Hoo but someone screamed "Iljimae" and everyone ran there and within this commotion he ran off. He was lucky that the timing was just right before he gets discover by Shi Hoo. Yong then knows that his father's death has something got to do with this club.

He was hated by Eun Chae as she saw him hitting a little kid but actually he was just hitting himself. Then Eun Chae saw him hanging around his brother Shi Wan and hated him even more. Yong overheard Eun Chae and this girl talking about Iljimae how cool he was, robbing and saving the poor.

At the end of the episode, Yong as Iljimae kidnapped Eun Chae. So I'm guessing Eun Chae has started to develop a feeling for Iljimae and Bong Soon has the feelings for Yong. But it seem like Yong likes Eun Chae probably because he knows she's the little girl he met before.

Sorry that I couldn't name the character's name properly because I'm watching it with Chinese subtitles and sometimes I don't know what it's called translated in English.

Iljimae Episode 7 & 8

Continue on with my review for episode 7 & 8 of Iljimae.

Episode 7
This episode was good! Ryung was arrested for selling porns and Ryung's sister was capture because of Shi Hoo. Both of them were placed in the same cell but both of them doesn't know each other identity.

Ryung's sister finally found out that he's Geom, she didn't immediately say the truth but rather keeping her mouth shut knowing that it might cause him trouble if she said anything. Their only time that they could spend together and it turned out that Ryung's sister closeness was because she was trying to flirt with him.

The other side found out that Geom is still alive and is finding his sister, they also found out that Ryung's sister was capture and using her as a bait to find Geom. Ryung finally knows the girl in the cell with him was his sister that he's been finding. He thought his plan worked but it failed and had to watch his sister die in front of him. More worst is that he had to pretend nothing happened and was a show to him. He joined the street gangster group so he could get close to the rich guys from the government.

After his sister's death he began to think throughly about taking revenge on the ones who killed his father and sister. Right at the end of this episode Ryung asked his father Sol Dol to teach him tricks to being a thief.

Episode 8
This is the best episode by far.
Ryung is finally getting there as being Iljimae. Sol Dol his father is slowly teaching him how to become a thief and of course Sol Dol doesn't know anything about Ryung wanting to be a thief to take revenge.

Within a time Ryung has already master the technique of climbing walls, walking without sound and unlocking locks. He then sneaked into one of who-ever-guy's place to find something, he stoled a painting but never thought it would make this much trouble. He didn't find anything special about that painting he stoled and never thought this would cause trouble to his friend.

So that painting worth a lot of money and Ryung's friend picked it up on the floor and kept it. The guards found the painting and immediately arrested that friend of Ryung. Ryung trying to help his friend and doing all he could like seeing the King and telling him the story. But it was no use they still arrested Ryung's friend.

During the time where Ryung is seeing the king, Bong Soon found a item on the floor which she remember it was from a little she know (and that's Ryung). So I'm guessing that she will finally found out the owner of that item and probably feelings will develop.

So the only way to free him is that the thief had to appear again. Ryung planned to go in that house again and unlock the store room. Also planned to steal the money which were being transfer. This would be his first mission known as Iljimae. His friend was let free as the real thief appeared and all the guards were chasing after the real thief.

At the end of this episode Ryung finally meets Eun Chae at Geom's house. Both of them had eye contact.
-----------------------
Episode 8 was really good and finally Junki is taking action. Now that Bong Soon finally found trace of the young Geom existence and Eun Chae finally meets Ryung unexpectedly. Hope there will be new relationship happening. And in the preview for episode 9 seeing Junki disguise differently , looks like he's in action again.
I think from now on it will get more interesting.

Iljimae Episode 5 & 6

Sorry for not posting anything about Junki now because my fandom with him kind of dropped and I'm into a new group. But anyways, I'm still watching Iljimae, he's totally awesome in this drama.

Be aware it spoiler warning!

Episode 5
Ryung finally gain back his memories and know his true identity. With that pain he is now trying to find out the truth of his father's death. Contacting the guy who tried to capture him before saying that he was a friend of his father but that time he didn't have his memory. But now that guy has been capture and sent to prison.
Ryung also knows that his sister and mother is still alive but have no idea where they are. So he planned spending the money he earned in that fight to get people to find out about it.

On the other side those guys who keep trying to kill Yong kept on sending people to investigate and to find out who is Yong and is he still alive.

Episode 6
Ryung got cheated by Bong Soon and lost all his money, more on Shi Hoo and his arrow shooting for 3 days. That street gangster decided to help Ryung in helping him finding his sister probably after seeing how his sister looks like and probably have a feels for her.
The siblings didn't get to meet each other even though they were very close to each other.
---------------------
If you are really into watching it then it's interesting but while I was watching it I kept thinking "when is Junki gonna be Iljimae?" Episode 5 & 6 is alright, talked about a lot of things to build up the story.

Iljimae Episode 3 & 4

Watched episode 3 & 4 the other day.
As much as I want to see Junki being the hero Iljimae but I know this won't come so early as episode 3 & 4 still trying to build up the story.

Episode 3 & 4 we get to see the grown up of Shi Hoo and Eun Chae. Shi Hoo still was treated badly by his brother and mother and the only one who treats him like a family is Eun Chae. Somehow it doesn't feel like a brother & sister love they have but they can't be together anyway since they are blood related.

There's some parts where were quiet boring but have to watch it otherwise you won't understand the rest afterward.

The part where Ryung fighting against Shi Hoo was really sad for me. Especially when Ryung was all hurt but not giving up really mad me cry, I was really tearing during that part.

In episode 3 & 4 I do feel like Jun Ki has over reacted in some of the parts especially when he's trying to be cute and funny. But this doesn't stop me from watching and supporting Jun Ki. I am really looking forward to how Ryung becomes Iljimae.

Iljimae Episode 1 & 2

Last night I finally watched Iljimae ep1 & 2.

The start of episode 1 was really cool showing Junki as Iljimae stealing and how he didn't get caught and stuff.
Just have to say his outfit was super cool, especially with that mask.

After that it went back to telling his story when he was young. Geom (Junki) was a rich kid living happily with his father and mother. But things happens and Geom's father was killed and everyone finding Geom. His life was in danger, he was saved by Sol Dol (Lee Mon Shik) and they started living together as a family.

That is practically what the first & second episode is all about. At the end of episode 2 Junki finally appears he acted super cute. I wonder which girl he ended up with and I'm excited to see how he becomes the famous thief Iljimae.

McDonald's CF

Junki and Hong Kong star Joey Young filmed a CF for McDonald. These are some of the photos, Junki and Joey are so cute in these photos.



Here's 2 wallpapers of Junki from the Hong Kong McDonald website. Junki is so cute and although his hair has not style but it doesn't look that bad. The 2nd wallpaper is with the Hong Kong singer Joey Yung, she's my favorite singer out of all the Hong Kong singers. So glad 2 of my favorite idols can be together in a photo.



This is the making of the CF, Junki is so cute when he was talking in English.


This is the actual CF, I really like this CF so funky and once again we can see Junki dancing.

Official photos of "Iljimae"



These photos of Junki are just too gorgeous, I love them! Junki is so hot, I can't wait until the actual drama being broadcast.

Videos of "Iljimae"

Here's the trailer for "Iljimae" and the photo shooting + interview of the characters.


The trailer is pretty crap, there's no shot of Junki in it and it doesn't show much what this drama is about.


I like this video, Junki is so hot in here.

There's a few more videos on "Iljimae" on youtube, if you want to see it search it on youtube.
