Comments on: Return of Iljimae: Episode 4 http://www.dramabeans.com/2009/02/return-of-iljimae-episode-4/ Deconstructing korean dramas and kpop culture Sun, 12 Feb 2012 10:53:51 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 By: oppa888 http://www.dramabeans.com/2009/02/return-of-iljimae-episode-4/comment-page-1/#comment-124934 oppa888 Sat, 20 Jun 2009 00:43:10 +0000 http://www.dramabeans.com/?p=4186#comment-124934 I watched the first Iljimae and really loved it, so much that I almost overlooked this drama, which I now know would have been a great tragedy! I can honestly say after seeing the first 7 episodes,that I am truly impressed with the beauty, grandeur, splendid production, cinematography and casting. Although, I enjoyed SBS Iljimae immensely, this drama seems to have none of the flaws and imperfections of it's predecessor. The Return Of Iljimae is rich in detail, character development and devoid of overtly slapstick humour which can grow to be an annoying distraction. SBS Iljimae, although on it's own is a great entertaining drama, I constantly found my self analysing areas that I would improve upon, this version continues to amaze and astound in everyway, with beautiful scenery and scope. There is a much vaster panorama and depth to the story and character that is Iljimae, and a more serious tone, that is not tainted by ridiculous moments of over-acting or exagerated humour!

I really like the serie "return of Iljimae". I liked the first one too. It really well done and the actress can act... I think people like BOF because of the successful yoko Kamio HYD'effect and because of shallow things like "the guys are hot" that's all. I agree with you.

The story of "Boys before Flowers" is very stale, and the actress, I should say, has sometimes over-reacted in her acting which can appear very un-natural. The main actor of Boys before Flowers is the only actor that I think is worth mentioning. The rest of the actors are just like promotional posters. It is undeniable that the actors are young and good looking but most of them are still inexperienced. What they usually did was is to smile. Although the actor for "the return of Iijimae" is also just a newbie but his acting skill has been improving from episode to episode. It is not easy to act in period drama as it has to encompass very explicit expression. The actress for "the return of iijimae" is also very natural in her acting. All in all, "The Return of Iijimae" deserves an applause for all its hard work.
