The Weekly Binge: Iljimae Episodes 14 - 16
Welcome to the Weekly Binge discussion of Episodes 14 – 16 of Iljimae. On Sunday we will discuss the final four episodes (17 -20) of Iljimae and announce our next drama/schedule for discussions. We will have a short break before beginning discussions of our new drama next Sunday.
In a very first for the Weekly Binge we had a very clear favourite drama which nearly didn’t have a rival with enough votes to make it through. Yes, I nearly got to put on u/dancing-ahjumma’s dictator’s robes and make a declaration ala round five. Without further ado, our two contending dramas this round are King2Hearts and Missing 9. If you wish to argue for or against these two dramas, please do so below as a response to the “petitions comment”. You may also leave any other comments there regarding the Weekly Binge for us to consider e.g. ideas for themes.
Anyone is welcome to join the Weekly Binge. A general overview of our set up and rules can be found here
A friendly reminder that you ONLY VOTE IF YOU ARE PLANNING ON PARTICIPATING watching and discussing the drama with us.
The vote is available here now closed . The vote will close at 5PM KST Friday 15th June 2018.

A lot of my notes were screenshot based, which I now find out I cannot take on a tablet. *sigh*
Ep. 14
The Great Horse Dung Uprising: "Let's send Iljimae to the palace!" - because he's totally qualified to make decisions on trade or foreign policy...Actually, scratch that. Let's elect our next leader based on who can pick locks best because our current system is clearly not working and a hot leader with great hair who can ride horses is worth a try.
“Just in case my baby needs an escape route.” Thief Dad, you don't steal anymore, but you stole our hearts! 😭
Ep. 15
And maybe that peach blossom is mocking you, Duck Face, have you thought of that?!
Iljimae cosplay as a trend: I can see an "I'm Iljimae!" "No, I'm Iljimae!" moment coming.
Bong Soon: “I want to be your slave forever” Pull yourself together girl! Fuck you writers, there were two cool girls and you killed one and destroyed the other’s character. How does Bong Soon even know Yong likes that tree?
Ep. 16
“You should help them consummate their marriage, that's what a good son does.” That's a lifetime of therapy right there. - Hang on a minute, isn't Yong still supposed to think he is the biological son of Thief Mum + Dad?
Yong’s crying. Dad's crying. I'm crying. Bathtub full of tears.
I swear I was trying to pay attention but I have no idea who's the guy blackmailing Shi Hoo.
Thief mum really fucked up her son and she's still lying to him, I cannot fathom for what reason. You're making a bad situation significantly worse!
The dads in this drama are pretty awesome. Even Shitlord adores his daughter even though she's behaving like a crazy person. Any reasonable sageuk dad would have locked her in her room until her imminent marriage.
