I think those weren't darts but some kind of little spheres... Unsure

Ah, that's good to know. ^^ I can't remember him using spheres before so I guess I mistook it as darts because that's the only thing I saw him throw out of his hands quite often.

Silent, what other drama have you saw that's similar to this one and have a happy ending? I wanna watch something like this one without feeling sick to stomach because of the ending. pinch

Also, cute sign you have there. I like see his smiling face. Actually Iljimae was my first drama with that actor, lol and I was impressed with his acting even though I didn't know who he was.

I re watched this scene few times and I'm sure that he throw spheres Big Smile

Well.. I didn't mean historical drama but a drama with similar plot pinch

And precisely it's Time between dog and wolf. The story is quite the same. Main character looks for revenge after his mother who's been killed, and even is in love with killers daughter. (hehe, well Eun Chae's father wasn't a killer himself but he wasn't a pure person in this case so just say this example is similar:lol )
But as for me ending is better coz end don't leave so many unanswered questions.

Because people compared Iljimae to Hong Gil Dong I think I will watch it soon pinch

Yeah, I love his smile Wub

And if you haven't watch Junki in another drama yet I strongly recommend Time... Big Smile

It's just "must see" one pinch

Heh. I thought Time Between Wolf and Dog was one of those depressing series with a sad ending, like A Love to Kill or something. So it doesn't have a sad ending?

I can't tell which one bother me far more, unanswered questions or sad ending. Hmm...although Iljimae's ending seem pretty clear, that is he's still alive and so are other people.

Hong Gil Dong was the first historical drama and it was almost the reason why I was going to refuse watching Iljimae, lol. Can't believe I was about to miss one of greatest drama.

But Hong Gil Dong was a good drama, that even I got to say. I do enjoy the mixed genre drama.

Oh, also is that where your avatar come from?

Well... Time between dog and wolf is quite sad coz main character sacrificed everything what he loved for revenge but when you watch it you don't have enough time to think about it coz the action is so fast there! So much suspense all the time. And there is also a love triangle. It has also some happy moments. All in one pinch

If you will await ending like "and they live happily ever after..." you won't see that one. Well not precisely.. But is far more optimistic than that from Iljimae. Really. And you don't need to think "and what about this or that" coz they explain all in last ep. Ther is even a moment when I was shocked and I started to laugh. I was like "what? no way... how?, when? " and it's all about one baby pinch

But I won't say anything more. Just watch it Big Smile

I haven't seen A love to kill yet. My sister did and said is good but sad. Will think about it Whistling

As for me both - unanswered questions and sad endings. When it's much of one of these or even both at the end it's just make me regret that I watched that drama.

For me it was also clear that he survived. But I just couldn't resist from questions like "and what about his mother? will they meet? and bong soon? will they be together in the end or what?" and more and more...

Ok, I will give that series a chance. That does sound a bit like Iljimae because it's also sad when you think of what the character had to go through. Watching those closest to him dies in front of his eye or for his sake in the series.

Interesting, I haven't thought about those questions. I am just happy that he's alive that I forgot that there's still another issues that needed answers. Oh well, I guess what's important is different for every fan. Who's alive is clearly on the top of my list. ^^ Who'd want to see a handsome guy dies in front of your eyes? pinch

Well as far as I know he dies in one of his movies. And that's why I haven't watched it yet. Big Smile

It's called May 18 or so...

I always have a lot of questions after I watch something. No,not always. I BECAME like that after I started to watch asian cinema where you must look for deeper meaning in characters actions and dialogues to understand things better. pinch

Ok, that's good. I am going to watch one of his movie and that wasn't the name of the movie so far. Big Smile

Whew...Although that means I have already figured out the end because one of his movie was about whether he will live or not. Tongue

True...especially in the movies. Drama don't do that much to me though. Maybe because I usually watch simple Asian drama most of the time.

I must say that I loved Fly Daddy Fly. Nice story with happy ending Big Smile

And there Lee Moon Shik plays with Junki. And he has all teeth there pinch

And May 18 is also called "Hwaryeohan hyuga" "Splendid Holiday" or "Remember U 518"

Hehe... So we are in the same situation coz I haven't watch this movie yet. I heard that he died pinch

I'm dl it at the moment so will find it soon pinch

I just wanted to say that iljimae did not kill anyone, he could have...but killing is not as easy as just saying. You can hurt people without killing them, and that is what iljimae did, also remember his sword has no edge therefore, he can't kill anyone because they can't get cut with it. In reality just killing easily and not thinking much about it is not that simple, especially if u are trying to do good. I understand no one can be pure good..no one is, however there are people who will never kill, no matter what! I LOVE ILJIMAE

Yeah, he was just a good person. Big Smile

He never though that he would kill person who killed his father. He only wanted his apologize.
And that was so... hmm... pure about him. Smile

Yup u are right Silent! Big Smile

Yeah, that's why the scene about him throwing the objects confused me a bit. But I got it.

Sword without a edge can still kill, I think his master said something about this in one of ep where he trained Iljimae. That's only if Iljimae chose to, and he never did. So that's impressive. My view is pretty much like his, I don't believe in killing people even though they are a killer to start with ya know like death penalty or whatever. Not many people are like that, so that's why I enjoyed this show.

Silent, just let me know if that movie you are planning to watch is truly worth watching, lol. pinch

Maybe need a box of tissues just in case? Heh.
I am going to check Fly Daddy Fly as well. Thank you for bring it up. ^^

People can kill each other even with a spoon so why not with a sword ^^
For me he didn't want to kill coz he knew that if he do that he will become just one of the people he despise.

Silentwolfdog, Sure I will tell. Smile
