Synopsis

Set during the Joseon Dynasty, Yong acted as a hooligan in the marketplace by day but at night he was a thief who robbed corrupted government officials to give to the poor. After each robbery he left behind a painting depicting a plum tree branch to make his mark and was thus named Iljimae. His main purpose was not so much to rob but to search for the owner of a specially designed sword which he saw as a child was used to kill his father, a loyal subject of the emperor. Eun Chae is a government official's daughter who despite her upbringing has a lot of empathy towards the poor. She met Iljimae by chance and couldn't help admiring him for what he stood for even though she had never seen his face.

Si parerea mea: Love Lee Joon Ki!! Mi-a placut sa-l urmaresc- sa-l vad si din alt punct de vedere!!Aici, el mult sufera din cauza mortii tatalui la care este martor, trebuie si arunca o piatra in mama sa la doar 5 ani ca sa se salveze pe el si sa ramana in viata(mama cumva a fost de acord cu asta) si din cauza lui moare si sora sa- vedem cum , desi plange in el- zambeste si rade cu toata lumea!!Nota 10!!Desi , iarasi sfarsitul putea fi mult mai frumos..
