The wire work as well as the camera during some of the action scenes were kind of blurry. At first, I thought it was my TV! Overall, it was a very interesting episode. And yes, the narration irritation is fading. I’m learning a lot about the period as she talks.

There’s a key part of this episode that I feel you missed.

It’s the scene when Gu is sitting in his house, pondering how to discover the gangs’ bases. He hears a noise. Going outside, he sees a man sweeping. It is Kim Kyung-chul, Gu’s savior later in the episode. The next seen we see him enacting his drunken ravings. This reveals from the first that Gu is planning something with the officer.

(Actually, at first I thought that Gu had given Kim Kyung-chul orders for a suicide mission of some sort and that Kim was drowning his sorrows in liquor. But when Gu barged in, he showed no sign of feeling betrayed so something had to be up.)

Wow I love your recaps, I am kinda wierd in that I like to sort of read your recap then watch the show. Plus it helps alot because sometimes the subtitles are only around like 88% of the episode. anyway just wanted to say this show is great. Honestly I thought I was more of a fan of the first version but “Return of Iljimae” Is starting to win out. Plus I really like the beggar guy who saved him when he was a baby in the basket in the water.

I just noticed, Dal-yi didn’t really die, because there is Wol-hee.

Now I get it. Dal and Wol are the same word for the “moon”, isn’t it?
>Dal – native Korean word for moon
>Wol – sin-Korean word for moon (original Chinese: yue)

Yay! Thank you, Sarah!!

“Is anyone else finding the Iljimae–Wol-hee relationship a breath of fresh air?”
I do. Their relationship is adorable, and I love the way Wol Hee is so straightforward and pokes him with sarcastic quips like – It’s not like your going to buy me anything, so why are YOU complaining? LOL.

I also like the way Lee Ki Young is portrayed as the assassin, Bak Bi Su. The long, curly hair is a great added touch.

“(Love the look in Jung Il-woo’s eyes!)”
His eyes are so expressive, and when he’s fully masked, he does a great job conveying emotion through such a small proportion of his body.

The fight scenes are well choreographed. Love them. Wait till the one in Ep.10 with the perfect score to match.

Thanks again! Sending you more kimbap.
