I really enjoyed "The Return of Iljimae". Great action, costumes, and scenery. At times the story was a bit long and probably could have been told in 20 episodes, but it was worth watching through the boring bits. There was an interesting group of characters surrounding Iljimae (*spoiler*) many of whom came to sad endings.

This is the first K-drama I ever watched. I really enjoyed it for a number of reasons. I liked that the group's music was a little edgier than most K-pop (but then I'm a big fan of metal). The actors, who are mostly in their 20's, did great at playing teenagers. The story progressed well and didn't get bogged down nor rushed along. The ending was unexpected but good nonetheless. My only criticism would be that the nerdy keyboard player didn't get a love interest. Hey, keyboard players need love too! Su-Ah's nerdy friend would have been good for him. Added April 13; Awww thanks for posting the behind the scenes episode. It was great to see the guys again.
