Iljimae starring Lee Joon Ki and Han Hyo Joo
Thus fusion historical drama set during the Joseon dynasty, tells the story of a legend who rose from humble beginnings to become a hero who fought for the poor and robbed the rich - a man known as Iljimae.
After his father is killed during his childhood, Yong takes to the streets as a beggar, searching for what remains of his family. After watching his sister be executed shortly after finding her, Yong embarks on a mission: revenge. Tattooing himself with the black emblem he saw on the sword of his father's murderer, he embarks on a life of crime for the benefit of the poor. When he stumbles across a conspiracy dealing with his father, Iljimae decides to use Eun Chae (Han Hyo Joo), the daughter of a government official, to get the information he needs. When he unexpectedly falls for her, he finds himself torn between his life-long mission for vengeance, and his forbidden passion for a woman who knows him only as "Iljimae".

The first episode is kind of boring but once you through that it is really good . I'm not gonna lie, the ending could have been better but it was great overall.

this was a great show. There were many laughs and many cries. Very emotional drama and the actors and actresses were phenomenal. I wouldnt recommend reading some of the reviews because I thought the ending was going to be really bad. Truthfully, it could have been better and more satisfying but it was not bad. Overall, great watch.

Koreans really need to work on thier happy endings...but I guess that kind of makes them unconventional, I loved this drama nonetheless.
