Jung Il-woo for Marie Claire
by girlfriday
Dear Scheduler’s Union / Grandma on a Harley / Are you there God, it’s me, girlfriday,
I’m writing on behalf of one of your employees, a cheeky young fellow by the name of Yi-soo. He also answers to Reaper Boy, Hottie with a Guitar, Hottie on a Bike, etc., etc. He’s the resident tantrum-throwing Scheduler in District 4, Area 9. If you look in your books under “troublemakers,” I’m sure you’ll find him there.
While I do appreciate your allowing him the time to pick up girls at the community pool, rock out in Hongdae, and do the occasional fashion mag photo shoot, it’s been brought to my attention that he’s been working as a reaper for five years straight with no vacation. That will not do.
I’ve gone ahead and booked him on a Hawaiian cruise, where I will personally tend to his welfare. I know, it’s very big of me. I don’t think it’s asking too much to give him a week’s vacation in between his reaper stint and the sweet hereafter. After all, he’s doing a helluva lot to revitalize the Grim Reaper image you’ve been trying to shake for centuries now. It’s the least you can do.
Sincerely,
girlfriday
P.S. How do I contact your billing department?

He is totally rocking the perm, Linda165, though in my heart of hearts, his mane of glory in Return of Iljimae is still the 'do to beat. *swooning at the images running in my mind*
Love the picture of him napping atop the rickety ladder--JIW, my shoulder or lap would be a million times more comfortable than your sweet knuckle, promise. I'll sing a song for you, too.

He could be wearing a freaking wig made of string and he would still look Hot no matter what...I love the perm, it makes my blood boil. But like Leina said, that Return of Iljimae mane of glory just completely makes me *swoon, it makes me stop breathing....

OMO, Agatha, I quickly scanned your comment and got unduly fixated on 'string'--ehrm, prefixed with a G-. *fanning myself with the sudden extreme heat generated by my wild imagination*
So yeah whatever 'string' he wears, he's HAWTTT.

Can somebody please answer this question for me? I am sorry it if is obvious to everybody but me. :(
Why did the Scheduler check up the ladies at the pool? I mean, he is invisible to everyone but Ji Hyun - people think she is crazily talking to herself when she (in Yi Kyung's body) is in fact talking to the Scheduler. Were the ladies at the pool dead or like Ji Hyun having their 49 days to collect 3 real tears?
JIW - why so hot? He is really delicious. XD

April 20, 2011 at 6:09 AM
Maybe he can choose to be visible in front of people...didn't the scheduler talk the coffee shop owner into hiring Yi-kyung?...or am I mixing that up with someone else?
JIW is a cutie, I've got to admit. I wouldn't mind him calling me noona. :)

Thank you so much for answering - I had forgotten about the coffee shop owner. He's a bit mean then, making her look like a crazy person arguing with herself out on the street. :)

Dear Grandma on a Harley,
You rock! I do have a small request, if you could be so merciful to grant. When it is my time to go, could I have a hot reaper boy guide me to the afterlife and maybe provide a quick serenade? It would only help make my transition from life to death go by much smoother and I would be eternally grateful.
Thank you!

Dear Rina,
I will let you in on a little secret... Deserving girls and Noonas (of all ages) get a Hot Reaper Boy to guide them. A serenade is up to the individual HRB, but usually they are up to it.

Ah reaper boy! A few more hours and I'll be able to watch 49 days again.
As for the deserved trip to Hawaii, please count me in as the Assistant to the Assistant. Promise, I'd be in my best behaviour. I'll even pay for my own air ticket, hotel room (next to reaper boy, of course, connecting door would be a plus!);
Great photos by the way. Love the close ups the most!
Now, where can I get a copy of this magazine? Do they have them in England?

Dear Girlfriday,
Pay no attention to the girl (me) who has snuck on board, and is dragging around a bag full of ropes. I assure you they are not there to use on you and to keep you locked up in the bathroom for the duration of the journey, and hence keep Reaper-boy for myself. Well, they are. Or you could make it easier for the both of us and just give me the ticket?
Love,
Molly.

OK! Its on my list, but the historical part is keeping me down. I mean, I love history normally, but sometimes in drama form, I get bogged down.
Does the historical stuff drag on or is it bearable in ROI?
Required fields are marked *
Leina
April 20, 2011 at 9:37 AM
I am not Korean, but Joseon/Qing history as presented in RoI resonated with me so much, and it helped a lot that the cinematography and musical score were amazing. Also, IMO, the writer/s weren't heavy-handed on the history, and focused more on Iljimae and his growth as a person and his relationships--be they romantic, filial or societal, albeit always set against the relevant historical context. It's fast-paced, too, so every episode contributes to plot progression.
In the end, JIW for me WAS Iljimae, and with a very strong cast, and a coherent, engaging narrative that didn't go overboard with heavy historical references, I think you will have an enjoyable time. :)
P.S. And I guarantee, you will never get bored at looking at JIW and his fierce eyes. He was that breathtaking in the role. It's far from fluffy rom-com (which I prefer under normal circumstances), but JIW is both meal and dessert hehe.

I think the last episode ruled out Yi-soo being Yi-kyung's brother. Reaper Boy was Yi-soo when he was alive and Yi-soo was Yi-kyung's lover, because that was not normal sibling kisses during the flashback!

Only girlfriday has permission to take Hot Reaper Boy on vacation for a week.
I don't even really understand why she'd want to though... he's gotten into some trouble as of late.
Girlfriday has a bunch of strict rules to follow in caring for Hot Reaper Boy, so interfering would not be to his benefit. I don't want to call them back early and have to beat them both, do I?
Always watching,
