Jung II-woo goes on location for Iljimae

August and September 2008

In September there are various photos found of Jung II-woo going to Japan to film Iljimae.  Iljimae the character, travels to China and Japan in his life where he learns different martial arts.  The production company and director decided to film in Taiwan and Japan, to capture some of the different scenery and give the series a more realistic look.

In Japan he visited Tsushima, and Island that is between Korea and Japan main land.  a place with gorgeous natural scenery.  You will see photos of Jung II-woo in Ichiraku, a port town you can get to via Ferry from Busan, Korea.

Enjoy Jung II-woo and the beautiful scenery of the places below!  Photo Cr. Jung II-woo and on photos.

Just finished watching “Goblin: The Lonely and Great God.”  Definitely one of my favorite dramas ever!  The cast… perfect.  The plot… divine. The music…enchanting.  The Scenery…gorgeous. It made me think a lot about life.  In that sense it’s a lot like 49 days. This one is a lot more romantic though. It made my heart ache for a love like that… a love that is true, that helps you grow, that comforts you and that makes you happy…

It also made me think how every moment of my life is truly precious and a gift.  Seeing my son’s beautiful face every morning, listening to my student’s voices, walking through the Public Garden, and even what I’m doing right now…every finger so perfectly placed so I can type these words…my hands…what a miracle!  Jung II-woo…what a gift it is that you exist!  To inspire me to know you…why? What a wonder…I’m so thankful!

Must sleep…for tomorrow awaits!
