Line 6:
Corruption and oppression in Korea during the time of the Qing Dynasty is [[Serious Business]]. The rich and powerful shed the blood of the innocent and just. And that's the ''good'' news. The bad news is that [[It Got Worse|it's all about to get worse.]] And the family of [[The Woobie|one poor little boy]] is caught smack dab in the middle.
 
''[[Iljimae]]'' (also seen as ''Il Ji-Mae'' and ''Il Chi-mae'') is a Korean drama detailing a boy's growth and maturation into the nation's greatest hero against a spoiled government. Sure, the emperor seems like a nice guy, but his field of vision amounts to diddly squat, and the noblemen do as they please and take what they want. It's a little overacted, but the characters--[[Loads and Loads of Characters|just about ALL of them]]--are unique and engaging, and the story has more [[Character Development]], plot twists, and Crowning Moments than you can shake a stick at. A very fine project that shows Korea's got chops of its own. Watch out though, some kink in Korean television scheduling puts each episode at over an hour without commercials, and there's a full season of them, so once you get started, this Troper suggests you get comfy.
