ILJIMAE : Review


I definitely agree with the commenters on MyDramaList that said this drama was slow, but I don't think that is the main problem with this drama. I think the problem is, not only was it slow, it was excruciatingly frustrating . At the beginning of episode 8, I thought to myself  "If a person can get through the first 7 episodes if this drama, they can get through ANY drama". Without spoiling anything, I 'll just say that this drama gives you an emotional workout. Like seriously, just be prepared. Secondly, ALOT of stuff that happened in the last 2 episodes should and could have happened like 4 episodes ago. Towards the end of the end of the drama, it seemed like the writers kind of just found themselves in a pool of loose ends and were like, "OH SHIT...WE HAVE TO TIE ALL OF THESE!?". And I was like, "FINALLY! STUFF IS GETTING REVEALED AND RESOLVED!" But even though I was happy, I can't deny the obvious fact that it felt soooooo rushed.

Like, We could have had it AAAAALLL WRITERS!! Iljimae could have been a 10 for real!! Besides the obvious downfalls, I think Iljimae's plans were so elaborate and well though-out! And ya'll know I love me some Junki!! And there was Han Hyo Joo (although I found her character rather bland) and Hot Stuffs Park Shi Hoo as Shi Hoo. Heh. I see what you did there, writers. AND the girl from Vampire Prosecutor!( Her character was annoying at first but she totally grows on you! BONG SOON-AH!!) Anywho, I gave this drama a 7 because even though it frustrated the hell out of  me, it had some real redeemable qualities.
