Ending was compelling. I admit I did not watch every episode but overall it was good

i laughed, i cried, and i enjoyed this series a lot. i was a little miffed that the mother and son didn’t have that much time together, but i’ll live with that because, like you said, it seemed true to the story. not only jung il woo and the other actors’ performances, but this whole series just felt so earnest. it definitely won me over.

hi
thank you for recapping the series.
just finish the whole episode last night.
everything is beautifully well done.
to be frank, never knew that kdrama (after a man’s story) can captivate me this much

Been meaning to watch this for a long time now and finally got the chance to marathon it.

Gorgeously put together drama and it really did incorporate so many elements and yet made it all blend beautifully together. And hot damn Jung Il-Woo put on an amazing performance. Those eyes!

Thanks Javabeans for the awesome recaps and for the excellent recommendation. This series is definitely not one to miss!

Thank you so much for the recap! It is such a beautiful drama. This type of drama is not usually my cup of tea, however I gave it a whirl after seeing your ratings for it. I must say, I love it. Its a beautifully scripted, poignant drama.

I’m a big fan of Hong Sisters’ dramas and of all their works, however I haven’t watched Hong Gil Dong yet. So between this and HGD, guess who wins? Thank you for the fantastic recaps. In between current dramas, I’m finding lots of old great ones through your recaps. I just started episode 1 but couldn’t wait so I read the recaps first. The plot, the acting, directing, music, and cinematography…beautiful!

HGD will still be eventually watched though.

How am i supposed to convey my thoughts… I never thought the series is this great. Really great.. Though i didn’t exactly had the chance to see the episodes, through the recapper’s eyes it was as if i’v gone through the episodes myself. Weewwh,it really was sooo touching.. U rarely get to come across a well depicted story nowadays,moreover with so much complexity and depth such as this one.. Hands down,i loved it. Thanks.. w/ all sincerity i could offer =)

Dear Javabean, as a newbie in this K-drama realm, I’m so glad that I found your blog and I decided to watch Return of Iljimae solely based on your drama rating that had given it such a high rating. I just finished the drama and I loved it. I agree with you and all fans of Return of Iljimae: it’s indeed a great, lovely, artistic, well made and thoroughly enjoyable drama. One of the best I’ve ever seen. I didn’t know that K-drama can be so beautiful. Jung Il Woo is in my list of favorite Korean actors along with Jae Hee and Bi now. I also wanna say thanks for doing the wonderful job of recapping the episodes, your commentaries enriched my watching experience. Keep up your good work and sorry for my bad English.
