Return of Iljimae: Episode 21

August 16th, 2009 // by javabeans

This episode really gets the action going, which is welcome because, as I mentioned in the previous recap, I prefer more personal storylines to politics. Not that politics is bad — it adds depth and historical context, certainly — but I like both in a nice balance.

    I was up late last night catching up on all the recaps so far (I’m such a wimp when it comes to cliffhangers) and wow, I’m loving your recaps of the Return of Iljimae! They’re – to use a word from the previous recaps – BREATHTAKING. I’m looking forward to My Fair Lady so this is a good introduction/transition for me. Thanks so much!

    Aw, I’m kinda sad that the thorn haired bandit is dead. The guy is creepy, but I actually do like his dynamic with Wang Hwengbo.

    The beauty of the Return of Iljimae (to me) is that every time I watch it I discover something new and inspiring. It goes beyond just a work of fiction, but a compelling story with realistic characters that we (at least I) can relate to, one way or another.

    For one reason or another, some great dramas may not receive the good rating that it deserves on their initial run (For an example: Winter Sonata, which later on becomes a mega hit in Asia); however, a well-produced and well-written drama is able to stand the test of time.

    I hope in the future more people get to watch this “Return of Iljimae” (with an open mind), and grow understanding and appreciation for this excellent mini series.

    Thanks for the “Fast” recaps. It means a lot to me.
