I am going to close both eyes and pretend that the stretch involving Iljimae in the Qing territory didn’t exist. The Qing are known for their half-shaven hairstyle. Come on! It was such a big movement to make the Hans shave their head when they took over the rule of China! And yet, other than Iljimae’s adoptive father (with a strangely shaven head, but at least it is still shaven) and Huang Tai Ji, everyone had beautiful haif. Whatever. And everyone speaks Korean in Qing territory. Only a handful of oddly pronounced Chinese was scattered here and there. Not Manchu, not Chinese, but Korean. ODD.

I get that they were trying for a different approach, but if they put the city scene at the end of the series it may have made more sense for those who watched it first.

I don’t know, since I’m Chinese myself, I get used to seeing those ancient clothing in dramas (b/c Chinese ancient dramas) because in Qing dynasty, people do wear that. You could see those clothing in the ancient art itself.

Decided to watch the first episode today since JB seems to recommend it so much. While I found the cinematography outstanding … the storyline was just ok. I kind of fell asleep on some parts because not much was happening. And I got so annoyed by the narration. That is going to end right? I just want to know the story already so show them to us. I hate it when it jumps timeframes. While the directing is well done (better than Iljimae 2008 version) it still has that annoying time skips. Come on let it flow.

Still going to continue, but if this doesn’t get better by ep4, I’ll drop the series. I haven’t reached the “fanatic” phase for Jung Il Woo yet since I abandoned MFL early. Hopefully, this shows his amazing acting skills.

Reason why I started watching is because Sandara from 2NE1 is said to be in it. Will be waiting for that episode.
