[drama 2009] The Return Of Iljimae 돌아온 일지매

[Guest cococrust]

well.. as of now, only 1 group is c-subbing this drama. Hopefully some other groups will release better subbed version. It seems highly unlikely that TSKS will sub this drama.

I haven't watched this drama yet, but after seeing the photos, i think the lead actor looks quite handsome, and i like his custumes. They are so nice. On the other hand, the lead actress (Yoon Jin Suh) is not pretty and looks too old compared to him. Disappointed!

if that's the case , if the SRT of this c-sub would be available along with timing , It would be easy to get a volunteer to translate but then again it depends on the c-sub team

=( I should get working on finding ppl to sub it, jdramas are usually easier to get ppl to sub due to CCs =(

those who can watch MBC onair live, the re-broadcast of ep 1 AND 2 is coming up at 1:20 Seoul time, in about 1 hr 15 min time

[Guest sparklinghugs]

i'm confused after the first episode...it feels like i'm watching a documentary...and how the heck is iljimae in the real world??!?

[Guest atel]

Some were fine, but some of the music I just don't like it. Anyway it's only the first episode, so they only used some of the music. Maybe I commented on the music too early.

no prob on commenting it's your thoughts anyways.

personally for me i thought the music was well placed, and i like it that it doesn't have a person singing. i'd rather have scores than some gasoo singing in a drama.

edit: just read the dramabeans comments on the show. she didn't like the action scenes, but i thought the action was pretty well choreographed. upped from the days of Damo (which was quite a while back) and much better than the current MBC cable weekend drama Seoul Warrior Story. and in episode 2, i was impressed by how jung ilwoo fought off the guys - it looked like he really practiced/rehearsed his moves.

oh, if anyone wants noncb links to this series check this site out: http://aja-aja.com/regular/airing-currently

it's mbc's special touch (which i liked) .....It's a symbol of past lovers, basically it's not an important thing ; just an opener .

It felt like a documentary due to the narration , right? it was over-used but ep.2 is really good ....just keep watching until it floats ur boat..if it doesnt ...thennn =(

I finally could watch episode 2 and i loved it. I like the fact that the pace is not going super fast,, actually taking time to show and explain things. (i hate when dramas just go to quickly and by half the drama u can't understand what the hell is going on.)

and i have to mention the ninja who walks like he has to pee + is trying to dance tango and makes cat sounds when he fights. I have not laughed like this in a LOOONG time. I know that is a fighting style but i just thought it was hilarious nonetheless.

Also I noticed that in the fight scenes is not just some random martial arts mashed together. But u can see an actual style. Iljimae's is very interesting.

I am really happy over the ratings and i can't wait for next week. Last year i was so bummed out since basically out of all the dramas that came out i watched only 3 since i found them mostly boring and some over the top. But iljimae and KPN are making me believe that this year will be a great one!

Hello everyone.....

I just want to share this article From the phillippines.

Sandara Park talks about her first TV role in Korea

Former teen star SandaraPark happily shared some good news about her acting career in South Korea with ABS-CBN.com. Ever since she spent a few days in Manila last August 2008 for a vacation and an appearance on ASAP ’08, Kapamilyas have been waiting for Sandara to appear in Koreanovelas. After a year of training and hard work, Sandara has landed a cameo role in the Korean historical drama, The Return of Iljime.

“I’m not sure when exactly I auditioned but I think it was late 2007. It was so long, isn't it? I met Director Hwang (director of hit Korean drama Princess Hours) and his staff to introduce and say hi. It was not really an audition, it's just like a normal meeting, so we talked about my experiences in the Philippines,” Sandara related on how she landed the role. “Actually, I did nothing special hehe! Coz our intention in going there wasn't for audition. So we just really talked, we talked quite for a long time.. For almost an hour and I showed them my scrapbook of all my projects I have done in the Philippines, movie posters, screen caps, commercials…”

The lead character of the drama, Iljime, is a revered hero of Korea and will be played by young actor Jung Il Woo. According to Sandara, this is the actor’s first serious role that’s why Iljime is a highly anticipated drama in Korea, which is another reason why she is glad to have made it on the show. Sandara said that she finds her role on the show kind of ironic for she plays someone Japanese. “Rie is the name of my role.. Interesting coz Rie is a Japanese. I'm already in Korea yet my role is a Japanese. Hahaha! Rie, is a ninja who will meet Iljimae, he will teach martial arts to the ninjas and Rie will fall in love with her.. But will they become lovers? Well you better watch out for it! Haha!,” Sandara said, adding a joke about her former TV show on ABS-CBN.

Sandara shared her experience taping for her first drama in Korea. “It is my first project in Korea after the ‘I’m Sorry’ music video. Its different from the music video I did because this is real acting, This is a drama so I was really nervous and at the same time very excited. We had our taping in Tsushima Island, Japan which is near in Korea.. I was worried with a lot of things but the taping was fun.. No problems, the director is nice, the staff and they like methat's why it was really comfortable and fun for me to work with them.” She also became friends with the stars of the show, especially Il Woo. “I have a good working relationship with Il Woo. He's also very nice and fun to be with so our taping was really fun. I hope I can work with him again..”

She also said that she really missed working in front of the camera and this made the experience more special. “After more than one year, i'm back in the set. Even if its here in Korea, the system is just the same so many of them were surprised that I was able to adjust. Of course, I'm a krung-krung [a Filipino word which means crazy and silly] I'm used to tapings! Hehehe! We taped for just a week, so it feels like I want more but then we're already done.” She added that doing tapings in the Philippines and in Korea are very much alike that’s why she had no problem following the director’s instructions. “I think 99% is similar in doing tapings here in Korea and in the Philippines, the things that they use. For example, the marker that is being used for us to know where to stand, I know about it. I prefer myself as the marker that time, that's why they were surprised to see that I know things like that. Almost everything is just the same. We read the script with our director and he will tell us what to do, rehearsal, and then shoot.”

But what makes the taping different for Sandara is the feeling that she’s starting again from scratch, far from the days when people were screaming her name during the first Star Circle Quest search. “Its also different for me because when I was in the Philippines, I do the lead roles most of the time but right now I'm starting again. No one here in Korea knows me and my role is just small although there's no small role as an actor but its definitely different for me. Its like starting from a scratch again. I’m so happy to feel this excitement again after how many years. And I also learned that its not that important if you're the lead or not. All the roles in the drama are important. But the sad thing is no one in the set is asking for my autograph! Hahaha!” Sandara said with her usual humor.

Even though YG Entertainment’s career plans for Sandara are yet to be revealed, the young actress is very optimistic about her career in 2009 and hopes her fans will stick it out with her. “I’m also very excited about my future! As an actress? As a singer? Or both maybe?I can't tell you right now but since I’m working hard everyday to improve myself, I’m sure you will see a lot from me. Let's just wait.” And with that she left a special message to all her friends, who are eagerly waiting for her future projects. “I miss you all so much! Do you still remember me? I have some good news for you, you will see me again on TV! A Koreanovela. This is just my start so its just my "special participation". its a unique role and you’ll see me acting again. I’m sure you're pretty excited too. I hope I'll be able to visit the Philippines again and see you all. Let's just wait for my another new dream to come true. Thanks for all your support.”

The Return of Iljime started airing in Korea last January 21 on MBC and Sandara’s character will appear in the February 11 episode.
