Return of Iljimae: Episode 10
Ahh, this is the feeling I remember. Ever since Iljimae returned from Japan, something felt different, although I didn’t put my finger on it until about halfway through this episode. It isn’t necessarily a bad change because I’ve enjoyed the past few episodes, but I realized that they weren’t as emotionally evocative as the first... More »

Return of Iljimae: Episode 7
This is the episode featuring rising star Sandara Park. I had known she was to be featured soon, but as I’m not familiar with her, it took me a minute to realize who she was. My first thought before recognizing her was that she was super cute. (Her acting ranged from merely passable to pretty... More »

Return of Iljimae: Episode 4
Sorry for the delay! It wasn’t because I didn’t enjoy this episode — I watched it right away but didn’t have the time to devote to a recap till recently. I know a couple comments have lamented that high-quality dramas like Return of Iljimae get overshadowed by pop-culture phenoms like Boys Before Flowers, but if... More »

Return of Iljimae: Episode 3
Return of Iljimae continues to be both lovely on the eyes and the ears — it’s almost like watching a carefully balanced film more than a drama series. I’m actually getting used to the narration, which continues to (as a downside) be told in that oddly pretentious voice but (upside) does keep the flow of... More »

MBC’s Return of Iljimae premiered on Wednesday, and from the first two episodes, my first impressions are: It is SO pretty. Amazing cinematography. The music is freaking gorgeous. Nice pacing of the story. Pretty solid acting, good casting. Yes, the narration gets annoying. [Watch the series at DramaFever] SONG OF THE DAY Dear Cloud... More »

More from The Return of Iljimae
We’ve already seen one (gorgeous) promo poster for The Return of Iljimae, but with the premiere now imminent, we have a few more. Like the one before it, these new offerings also have that vaguely dreamlike, Final Fantasy-esque quality to it. Of course, the challenge comes in translating that quality into the series proper. The... More »

Return of Iljimae unveils promo poster
How gorgeous is that promo shot or what? It reminds me of the whimsical artwork of old-school Final Fantasy, doesn’t it? Somehow it manages to be fantasy-like, but not too weak or caricaturish. Talk about changing my mind, both firmly and quickly. MBC’s Return of Iljimae has managed to do that in a really short... More »

Sean and Jung Hye-young, still ridiculously in love
How about something light for a change? Remember the days of old-school kpop and the pop duo Jinusean? Well, both Jinu and Sean (aka Noh Seung-hwan) have gone their separate ways professionally, but Sean — who has since gotten married and had a couple adorable kiddies — is now again in the public eye by...
