SBS’s Iljimae preview trailer
by javabeans
With On Air winding to a close, SBS is prepping its next Wednesday-Thursday series to take its place: Iljimae starring Lee Junki as the titular honorable thief and Han Hyo Joo as his love interest.
SBS provided viewers with a first glance at Iljimae with a teaser spot after last week’s On Air broadcast, and has just come out with a second trailer (watch below). I admit the trailer looks flashy — is the traditional sageuk dead? Are all historical dramas now taking on budgets and scales of movie proportions? — but I can’t say I’m too excited. But I’ll still be keeping an eye on it, partly because I like Han Hyo Joo and partly to see how it compares to MBC’s version starring Lee Seung Gi, slated to air later this year.
SBS’s Iljimae is produced by Green Snake Media (Jumong, Lobbyist), with PD Lee Yong Seok (Korea Secret Agency aka Invincible Parachute Agent, and sub-PD on War of Money) and writer Choi Ran, whose credits run toward more educational programming with TV Talks Book and HD History Special. It airs its first episode on May 21

At least the OST should be really interesting... But something looks odd to me. It does look like a high budget movie but the images still look really drama like, without much movie treatment on the very first seconds. And the last place he is is strangely familiar. I don't know what to think about it, but it would be nice if you follow it with recaps so we can get your opinion while watching ^^

Huh. Well, this trailer is certainly better than the other one - the other one was pretty bad, in my humble opinion.
I dunno...The veteran cast here is amazing, but the young cast worries me. I like Lee Jun Ki, but...I'm going to try to keep my expectations low so that I won't be disappointed if it ends up...well, bad. I guess it doesn't help that I dislike most fusion sageuk, either...

Lee Junki is so talented. I loved him in "The king and the clown". This trailer looks awesome. What does Iljimae mean? Is it someone's name?

"is the traditional sageuk dead?"
Dead and buried, I'm afraid.

I've been waiting for this drama since they announced that Lee Jun Ki was going to star in it. The cast may be fresh but they have alot of potential. I hope this drama is as good as Hong Gil Dong.

I love this blog too ^-^
From the trailer, I assume that this will be almost completely an action drama? Meaning less like Hong Gil Dong but more like one of those martial arts movies with a focus on fighting?
I'm not too familiar with the legend of Iljimae ;[

Woah. The trailer seemed disappointing to me, someone used the word 'vague' to describe the it and i happen to agree with them. Lee Junki seem such a mysterious dark thief...barely see him...aww. Well i try not to be to critical since its just a trailer....hopefully it turns out great like everyone wants. woohooo!!
