SBS has just released promo shots for the new historical drama Il Ji Mae. Cutie Lee Junki is cast in the leading role of a Robin Hood like character, Il Ji Mae. The 25 year old is easy on the eyes with his longish hair and ninja like outfit. Although he may look the part, the question is - whether the drama will be a hit.
Thoughts?
The drama is currently under production and will air on SBS TV in March 2008.

He looks pretty good in the pictures.
Anyway, what is with the funky green color. O_O; It’s hurting my eyes.
he looks prettier than han hyo joo !
so who is going to be the lead male actor??
who has more testosterone ??
lee joongi

wow…he’s the pretty boy in it x]
Yeah, he looks good here…
but the green POPSEOUL!. . . . me eyes. . . .@________@
i’m really looking forward to this ~ hopefully it’ll follow suit of his other tv dramas (& not mirror Virgin Snow & Fly Daddy).
oh yea & please change the green. go for the blue hue of the banner. the yellow would work too.
I hope this will be a great one. I’ll definitely watch this regardless of the outcome =)
to tell the truth, some of them [the thumbnails] are just the fanmade images, not the official ones.
by the way, there is another version of Iljimae by MBC, which has Lee Seung Gi as the main actor.
i wonder which version of Iljimae will be better…Lee Seung Gi Vs. Lee Joon Gi
well, Lee Seung Gi’s version is going to be directed by the people behind Goong, so at least we know that the set for his version is going to be very pretty lol..
by the way, that hat with long hair that he is wearing reminds of the prince from Hong Gil Dong (forget the actor’s name)…
The green is not working. Please stop it.
And can we stick with just ONE romanization of hos goddamn name? LEE JUNKI. I don’t know a Lee Joongi, wtf?
LMAO, his, not hos.
Some, if not all, of those pictures are fanmade. I don’t know about the first one. It looks cool. I can’t wait to watch it on Youtube or Veoh.
BTW, I like the green. Its different.
didn’t know who he was. from the main pic, i thought he was a she.
Oh Gosh, my eyes .__.; BRIGHT green hurts x-x
JunKi looks pretty *o*
I am so looking forward to this drama. His acting has improved a lot, and hopefully even more? What a hottyyy
Looks too much like a female in the first picture
Those images are photoshopped by fans, by the way. Even though Jun Ki is feminine, he can be pretty damn manly when he wants to be. Check out Time of Wolf and Dog if you wanna see what I’m talking about. Anyways, can’t wait for iljimae
Lee Seung Gi should stick with singing.
Let Junki handle this.
drizzle eat your heart out. lee junki looks so much hotter in his long hair!
Can’t wait! Lee Jun Ki is so good looking!! ^^
not really fresh news
But still i can’t wait for it - hope it’ll be a great tv drama - following TODW in terms of quality. I like the fact that this drama seems to combine both his feminine side (long hairs n stuff) and manly side (robin hood ! ^^)
take care ~~
regardless.. I’m pretty sure he will put his heart and soul into it
yeah green is actually not good for your eyes to look at on screens(which is funny since looking at foliage is really good)
neither is red
ah, another 2nd lead for son tae young.
yeah i don’t like the first pic it looks funky…
but BKJSuh got it right!!
Lee Seung Gi should stick with singing.
and Let Junki handle this.
the green is not bad but i does hurt the eyes if u look at it long enough lol
peace out love u Junki fightings!!
Ooh I’m really excited for this one! Time of Dog and Wolf was so awesome. I have high hopes for this….it better not disappoint.
Why is it that most korean actors/actresses look like they have a STICK hanging out of their nose!!! Ewww
sorry but
im getting sick of all the historical dramas
maybe cuz there aren’t enough good modern ones out.
hey pretty, lose the haughty. i’ll tune in for lee moon-shik!
wow. is that a girl in the ninja outfit? oh wait…it’s just Lee Junki. He gives me the creeps.
such a pretty boy. i bet lotta guys like him too
Oh, he’s so cute. He is golden no matter what he does. I hope this does well! Better yet, I hope it’s good!
I’m not digging Hong Gil Dong’s Chang Hwe look. I hope he doesn’t have to wear the awful eyeliner too, but since it’s Lee Junki I guess we should expect that.
he’s too pretty for my taste…
and everyone’s right! he’s got the chang we look too..
yay lee jun ki^^ he is such a good actor:]
he is too pretty, but I still love him
-screams a high pitched fangirl scream- Jun Ki as ROBIN HOOD! Say what xD???
yay Lee Jun Ki!!!! =D
I think the green is a little too bright but I LOVE the banner! MC Mong, Yun Eun Hye, and YUNHO!!!
He’s prettier than the girls!!!
Although I dun like to watch historical drama, I gonna watch this all cuz of Lee Jun Ki…
Yeah, he looks like Hong Gil Dong’s Chang Hwe… Even the angles of the photos are similar but Jun Ki’s got a more feminine face and Jang Geun Suk is leaner… That hat! It kills me!
…Yeah… He’s not that hot anymore. NEXT
haha, after MY GIRL and KING AND HIS CLOWN died down… he’s been meh (to me at least)
-sLaVe
Well, he obviously looks like Chang Hwe because it looks like his face was psed into Chang Hwe body. Unless I’m wrong and they’re just recycling the outfits and the hair.
OMG I WANT TO WATCH THIS SO BAD
pleeze.. those are all photoshopped pics done by fans, NOT promo pics..
i heard that it is postponed till the end of 2008
; __ ;
mwaaaahahaaahahahaaahaha agree2!!he’s the prettiest in the drama and ppl’ll end up watching it (even if it turned out boring..) for him!thats my resolution..they’re maing lotsa historical drama these days..lucky them i’m into hong gil dong..and yet this one sounds like it..running out of ideas??
omfg.. i thought it was a girl..
Jun ki looks so pretty with the eye liner.
Popseoul,
These photos were made by the fans at DCJUNKI.
Not the official photos yet.
man that last picture.. is so.. finalfantasy-ish lol, its very pretty nonetheless
LJK is resemble almost 100% of those online 3-D games.. ie Silkroad Online <3
^ Yeah, I was just about to say that last pic looked really animated…lol and on the third pic you can DEFINITLY tell the head is pasted on…but anywayz…who the hell cares!?
OH MY GOD JUNKI IS BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *screams*
Junki looking great as always. I’m sure this will be a hit. xD
Junki is so good looking! Is this drama gonna be like BYJ’s drama? I think this will be better & if there are actions scenes, it will be cool since he knows hapkido, tae kwon do & taekyon.Woohoo can’t wait to watch it!!
Oh yea..Popseoul I really love your banner!! So cute & fresh & Yunho is on it too!!
as teabag said
All of those pics are fanmade from DCjunki Gallery website
but it’s quite sure he’ll have long hair in this drama ^^
cant wait to see ILJIMAE!!!!!
i dont care about Lee seung Ki’s iljimae haha.. Junki is NO.1 to me hehe
WOW, Jun Ki looks so fantastic in these new photos. How awesome. I heart Lee Jun Ki.
omg he totally looks like jang geun suk’s character in hong gil dong D< it is the exact same hairstyle and costume (i mean, even the print on the cloth is the same…)
i hope he doesnt go for this exact look throuhout the drama (although it does look very nice and pretty)…
Hiya! Does anyone know the showtimes for this drama? When you find out can you tell me? Or can popseoul post it up? Thanks.
finally a korean version of iljimae…. cant wait to watch this!
I know he’ll act great in here too…so excited for this!!wah………….
SOJU !!! IM HAPPY TO HEAR THAT U R AFAN OF SOMEONE !!! I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT U HATED EVERY LIVING SOUL !!
IM HAPPY FOR , WAY TO GO !! { GOOD START !! }
I LIKE LEE JUNKI AND ADMIRE HIS TALENT , HIS LAST DRAMA WAS FANTASTIC , HIS ACTING IS MORE MATURE FOR HIS AGE .
FOR SOME REASON I DIDNT LIKE THOSE PICTURES , THE WAY HE PAUSES FOR THE CAMERA IS VERY FIMININE . THE COSTUME DEMAND MORE MANLY PAUSE , SPECIALLY THAT THOSE MEN AT THAT TIME WERE MORE MANLY THAN MEN THESE DAYS , HE SHOULD ABSORB THAT BETTER COZ HE IS AN ACTOR , AND ACTORS PORTRAY CHARACTERS RIGHT SOJU !! THEY PORTRAY !!!
he is hot~ hehe…feminine maybe but hey, have you seen him in tights!!! hehe…for a sec i thought i was looking at Jang Geun Seok from Hong Gil Dong. Both have the long hair and the hat…hehe…well i cant wait for it to come out esp once lee seung gi’s comes out so i can compare…
personally i think he’s gay and i prefer guy to be guy. Pretty boys are usually useless. I don’t deny he has some talents but as people say after two great movies his charisma seems to be decreasing
OH MY GOD JUNKI IS BACK!!!*screams*
I heart Lee Jun Ki.I saw watched, this is here
iljimae… wow! this is lee junki`s good….. my god ! uh I love lee junki…
THAT looks hotter????? Oh please…
Gay alert!!
ahhhhhhh he looks good
im happy he’s back ^^
wow he really does look like a girl. creepy… he’s still cute though.
hahaha this is funny…
You know…I really don’t see Lee Junki as a “pretty boy” in general-just in King and the Clown. Other than that I think he’s SMOKIN’ especially since Time Between Dog and Wolf!!! Cannot wait for crunchyroll to put this up with subs!
He looks pretty good in the pictures.
hey man lee jun ki is hot he is my man who ever trys to touch him he’ll die
ilove him
more than any one
plus whoever thinks that he is gay that person it like totally stupid
I love him in TBDW…
I hope he’ll gonna do better on this drama…
can’t wait to watching..
Maybe someone said it allready but that first pic, I think, is from the last scene of time of dog and wolf when he turns to the camera with his body facing away and hair blowing in the wind. But all I know is, it aint real.
Gah…. so cute. =^___^=
oppa hwaiting.
anticipating the drama…..
WHAAAAAA HE LOOKS SO SEXY ON THESE PICS. NO DOUBT ITS GONNA BE A HIT WITH HIM LOOKING LIKE THAT !D WHOOOHOO!
very like to know more about lee joon ki,,,
he is very tallented,,,,
i love him so much,,,,^o^
saranghaeyo!!!!!!!
I think most people focused on his looks rather than his talent. I dont agree with the “decreasing charisma” comment. His 1st film was great, the script is really good. I honestly think that the dissapointment of his other films wasn’t caused by his lack of talent but poor script writting & film directing. He is a very talented actor (at least i think so, you are free to differ). He did good in the time between dog & woolf. I think the film makers are taking advantage of his pretty face. They are selling his looks rather than focusing on production quality. I can only think its a business strategy of selling a production of no quality.
By the way is it a sin to have a pretty face? i don’t understand how one can be so mean labelling an individual as a gay & neutral gender. Even if its true, thats his personal matters. He’s selling his talent not his personal life.
aarrghhhh!!!! im running out of air!!!
he simply looks HOT!
i mean he looks like a girl but- i want him!!
ahay..ill do anything just to be with him for a minute.
李准基很多角度看起来都像个女孩,但他的身形、身材和自然的动作都很男人,很够MAN的味道。只可惜有些发型不适合他,一般人的整齐发型无法遮掩他的招风大耳。虽然有些不完美,却一点也掩盖不住他诱人的忽男忽妩媚的魅力!李准基是难得的美男子。
I agree with passerby actually. ^^ This happens a lot in the entertainment industry that it’s rather annoying. For example, I think it happens ALL THE TIME in Taiwanese productions. Well, of course we’re talking about idol dramas. I don’t know if anyone’s familiar with this but Wu Chun is held in the same situation. I regard him as cute but I still think he is lacking in the acting area. It actually makes me judge him more critically: are you only looks? or do you have talent? I support Jun Ki however. He has made a dwelling impression on me in Iljimae so far.
