Episode 5 must have been the most awaited episode of The Sword of Aramoon after all the excitement since the unforgettable opening episodes as can be seen from the wild, irrepressible and exuberant responses it has evoked from the audience. And everyone knows why. Lee Joon Gi’s depth and nuanced acting performance has triggered the netizens’ animated discussions. As Saya, he is impressive; he projects a sexy defiant look. The older twin’s sarcastic tone, sense of insecurity and downcast demeanour, in the light of his twin’s incredible achievements draw attention and win sympathy.

 

 

 

 



 

But that is not all; the versatile Lee Joon Gi is an unforgettable formidable sight at the ending sequence of Episode 5. That iconic scene has set the Internet on fire.

 










 

Lee Joon Gi delivers a high level of adrenaline to the scene - nimble, agile and swift as he scales, no – powerfully charges up the rugged cliffs to the top. Lee’s formidable range of emotions and eye energy has brought the intimidating savage in Eun Seom to life. He has not only impressively flexed his strong arm and leg muscles but also his acting muscles. His stunt is awe-inspiring. Eun Seom’s electrifying savage wet look of fury, his lightning-scarred arm and his furious spider crawl will forever be frame-freezed in everyone’s mind. It is an amazing beastlike Lee Joon Gi with his wild charm that the Kdrama audience have never seen before. The feat itself, an iconic scene, is stunning enough to electrify the global audience. Lee owns The Sword of Aramoon; he has made his mark on television history.

 

Other than Shin Sae Kyeong who plays Tanya, one is also impressed by Jung Suk Yong who plays Yeolson. There are also many actors who have won the hearts of the audience.


As usual, the screenwriters, Kim Young Hyun and Park Sang Yeon, Director Kim Kwang Sik, Choi Chan Min, the Director of Photography, the Lighting Director, the Action Choreographers and the Director of Music must be lauded.

 

 



A REVOLUTIONARY CHANGE

 

THE POWER

OF

PURPLE BLOOD

 






Tanya, the High Priest, who served the highest god, Airuju, had arrived in time to stop a violent fight which had broken out when the king and the queen embarked on a mission to rescue Arok who had been kidnapped by some criminals in Ttesarichon. The Arthdal  soldiers had also arrived to  prevent the chaos from escalating.

 

Shockingly, Tanya acknowledged the long-held belief of the White Peak Mountain Hearts sect that Aramoon Haesulla, the god of Arthdal who was also the god of harmony and  unification, was an Igutu. Aramoon had passed down his unique purple blood to his heirs and successors as proof of his eternal blessings. The proclamation, though received with joy and cheers from the members of the sect, created a rift among the people. Purple blood had become sacred overnight. Some found it hard to accept the dramatic change of religious and social beliefs but might tolerate it in the course of time.




 




To the shock of many witnesses, purple blood was oozing down Tagon’s waist. Unnoticed by the people, Eun Seom was also bleeding purple blood. He and Tagon’s blood were similar; it was a bright purple.




 





Arok, who was also injured in the struggle, had pure purple blood stains on his clothes. His different purple tint was due to a blood colour that is diluted from the union of his parents, one an Igutu, the other, a Saram. Eun Seom and Tagon were the offspring of a Neanthal and a Saram.

 



 




 

THE ARAMUN DYNASTY

OF

THE IGUTUS

 

 

A wind of change was blowing through Arthdal. The High Priest also proclaimed the start of the Aramun Dynasty, the first dynasty of Arthdal, amidst the cheering and chanting of the members of the holy sect.

 

Eun Seom, who glanced unbelievingly at Tanya, understood her intentions.

 

Tagon, losing a lot of blood, fell unconscious. Tanya directed her assistants to spread the word that Tagon was alive and well.


Any dissent had to be quelled. The manipulation of the minds of the people was their priority. Their chant was, ‘Aramun Haesulla, the messenger of Asa Sin, an Igutu, ascended to heavens with the wind.’

 

 

THE DESTINY

OF

THE CHOSEN ONE

 

TANYA STARTS THE BALL ROLLING






Tanya’s proclamation was a façade. On the surface, it was to change the people’s long-standing beliefs about purple blood. It was to turn their feelings from hatred to reverence towards purple blood. The change favoured Tagon, by extension, Eun Seom. The real purpose was to lead to Eun Seom to fulfill his destiny.




 




Since Tanya was blessed with the psychic powers of the gods, she could hear mumblings everywhere; she couldn’t and wouldn’t filter the good from the bad.


It was astonishing that believers took the liberty to put purple paint on lips on the statues of Aramoon Haesulla. Everyone, including Eun Seom, was mystified by the sudden veneration of Aramun as an Igutu.


Meanwhile, Tagon beginning to lose himself. He was hallucinating.


Taealha’s assistants were astonished by Tanya’s powers of prophesy; perhaps she was really a god.

 

 

THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE

 

 

Tanya, in the midst of her prayers at the tomb of Aramoon Haesulla in a cave, remembered Eun Seom’s words that he had been driven to take up the cause of the Ago Union as the god, Inashingi, to fulfill the selfish greed and ugly desires of the members.


Moa’s words concerning the people’s desires came to mind. She concluded that in the end, the voice of god was the voice of the people crying out aloud. In fact, god had never spoken.’

 

 

 

THE STRANGE MAGICAL BIRD

AND

THE ORACLE OF ARAMOON

 

 




 

The chirping of a strange magical bird which was flying around the cave attracted her attention. The bird had a turquoise head, white body and black tail. It settled on Aramun’s tomb. On the spot that it landed was the last message that Aramoon had engraved onto the tomb. It was Aramoon’s personal tragedy that he had been entombed alive.

 

 


 




WHEN THE ZELKOVA TREE CRACKS

AND MY SWORD IS REVEALED,

ARAMUN SHALL KNOW THEIR MISSION

 

 

 



 

Tanya showed Aramoon’s last oracle to  the ministers who had arrived to worship their god.


‘When the zelkova tree cracks and my sword is revealed, Aramun shall know their mission.’


What does it mean? Shouldn’t it be ‘his’ mission? What does ‘their’ mean? Does ‘Aramun’ represent more than one person? Perhaps, it means ‘two persons in one’, Inaishingi and Aramun Haesulla. Or is it a modern day politically polite neutral term?

 

 

 

HEART OF STONE

 

 

 

 


The philosophy of the ice-cold and detached Queen Taealha was quite an education for parents in the audience. The pragmatic approach towards power was self-dependance and ingratitude.

 

Preaching her philosophy to Arok, her son, she waved aside his views that they should be grateful to Tanya, the High Priest, who had saved the royal family. Her prompt answer to her son's comment was, ‘Nobody can save us. Only we can save ourselves.’

 

 


THE HEAVENLY MISSION


 

 


 

 

Eun Seom was convinced that Tanya had done the right thing to announce that Aramoon was an Igutu.

 






But, Tanya told him in no uncertain terms that she had the courage of her convictions because she was driven by her love for him and her belief in his or their combined destiny.


She showed him Aramoon’s last will and oracle.


‘When the zelkova tree cracks and my sword is revealed, Aramoon shall know their mission.’

 



 




‘If the zelkova tree cracks and a sword is revealed, I hope you realize that you are Aramoon.’ 


Eun Seom, skeptical about the sword, mirror and bell, being the children of the prophesy, brushed aside her frivolous beliefs. He could not possibly be Aramoon Haesulla because he, Eun Seom, was the Reincarnation of Inaishingi.


Inaishingi and Aramun had been bitter enemies since 200 years ago.


 

(Zelkova trees are valued by the Koreans; they a symbol of tolerance, patience, peace and harmony.)



Tanya suggested that the biggest tragedy in Arth was the fierce rivalry between Inashingi and Aramoon Haesulla.

 


 






Originally, there was religious tolerance in Arthdal. The people were free to worship different gods. However, the peaceful coexistence amongst the gods was broken by two gods, Aramoon Haesulla and Inaishnghi.











Tanya pointed out  that even if Eun Seom won the war between Ago and Arthdal, the Arthdal population might put up a resistance and he would be forced to slaughter in order to suppress them. A continual bloodbath would ensue.


The only solution was that he, Eun Seom, must take up the cause to become both Aramoon Haesulla and Inaishingi. He must be willing and be determined to bring peace to the land. Tanya realized that it was the only way to stop the hostilities in the land. She reminded him that his mother had called him Aramoon but he became Inaishingi. The Aramoon part is the missing link in his life.





Tanya teared up because Eun Seom was extremely resistant to what he thought was a grandiose idea. The fact was the clash of the two gods had continued for over 200 years.


Tanya emphasized that even if he wasn’t convinced or if he resisted his mission, it would eventually reveal itself to him.

 



 

 

 


The emotional Eun Seom asked her whether the mission or their love was more important at the moment. He wasn’t interested in fanciful missions. They were parting ways in such dire times. He didn’t know when they would meet again or whether they would survive the war between Ago and Arthdal.


Having been rebuffed, Tanya sarcastically questioned if they should hug and cry, or fight as before. He promised her he would be back for her.

 

 


 

 


 

Tagon, who was having hallucinations, was getting delusional. He couldn’t even trust his queen.

 

 

  

AN HEIRLOOOM

FOR

SAYA, THE ELDER TWIN

 






 



The Neanthals, Nosanaho and Isrruv, met Saya in the forests and gave Saya a family heirloom from Ragaz, his father. Saya asked why it was not given to Eun Seom. The answer was he was the elder brother and he used to be more energetic. Saya smirked. 


The story behind the heirloom was a long time ago two brothers parted ways and promised to meet again one day. Each took one of two similar ornaments so that they could recognize each other when they met again.

 








Chaeeun wanted to return to Arthdal but Saya was not in the least interested. The defeated general assured her that Nunbyeol, her adoptee sister, would be fine. So was Eun Seom, whom he saw in his dreams. The younger twin was in Arthdal’s Secret Intelligence Organization and was Tanya’s lover. 







The envious man was wallowing in self-pity. Insecure about his failure, he was sarcastic when pestered by Chaeeun to return to Arthdal. How could he face the music when he had lost the war and lost half of his army. He was the first general to have lost a war and it was humiliating to have been vanquished by the Ago beasts. He would probably be eliminated as the heir to the Arthdal throne.

 









IKOMAHIS

AND

THE GREAT GOCHIJU ROCK

 


 

 



A strangled cry interrupted their conversation. A boy was seen fleeing for his life. He had dropped something. Two strange men appeared. Saya and Chaeeun fled but the two men with strange markings on their faces were in hot pursuit. 







Saya’s eyes glowed purple.  One attacker was punched out of sight by Nosanaho, the Neanthal, who had suddenly reappeared. The other man was smashed to the ground by Isrruv. The superhuman strength of the Neanthals astounded the frightened pair.


The four were stunned to learn that the two strange men were Igutus. Their purple blood gave them away. Before dying one of them pointed to Saya’s family heirloom and called him, Ikomahis. He was also wearing an ornamental object whose design was similar to that of Saya’s heirloom. 


It reminded Saya of the design of The Great Gochiju Rock in Arthdal. It has 4 fingers grasping each side of the rock.

 


 







The young boy, who had previously been pursued, met up with his father and told him about Ikomahis. The tale was getting more interesting. It was a matter of urgency that they went in search of Saya.


Another strange Igutu man happened to pick up a letter that had been dropped by the boy.


The Neanthals had left the duo who was resting by a stream. The new Igutu saw Saya with his family heirloom, the back of which reflected his image.

 

 


THE EVIL QUEEN COMES

NOT TO PRAY

BUT TO PRY

 


The evil queen came to the cave where Aramun’s tomb was located in the hopes of finding out some facts from Tanya. She wanted to pry and find out how Tanya knew Tagon’s Igutu heritage. It was a big risk and gamble for her to declare that purple blood was a blessing from the heavens. Tanya cleverly replied that Aramun Haesulla told her about it.

 






Taealha’s beautiful elaborate bluish-gold headdress and bluish patterned robes contrasted with the High Priest’s simple but beautiful pale turquoise robes and headband. Complexity is contrasted with simplicity.

 

The queen suspected that Saya had been replaced by a doppleganger. Yangcha now knew that Saya had been replaced by Eun Seom. Tanya begged him to keep it a secret.

 

 

 

EUN SEOM

IN

THE CLUTCHES OF THE QUEEN

 


 








After his meeting with the commanders and ministers prior to his departure for the war front, Eun Seom went to say his goodbyes to the king. The king, in his groggy state, babbled about killing those who knew about their Igutu blood. Having spotted the king’s sword on the table, Eun Seom could have easily killed him but refrained from doing so.

 

 


 



The evil queen invited Eun Seom to her chambers on the pretext of wanting to thank him for his help. But her insincerity was revealed when she plunged a poisoned needle into his neck; his unconscious body was carried in a chest to the Fortress of Fire.

 



 



 

 






When he woke up, he found himself chained to a chair. The evil queen was studying him. The fact that he was in the torture chamber with all kinds of torture tools around him made him uneasy.




 

 

 


The queen asked him 3 questions but when he answered them, she deemed that all his answers were wrong. He had failed her simple test.

 






One question was about his relationship with the High Priest, Tanya. His answer was particularly hilarious, ‘How sacrilegious!’


He deemed it was blasphemous to be accused of having a relationship with the holy and pure Tanya despite having hugged the High Priest so passionately in public. He had also romanced her.


The queen knew that he was with Tanya before Aramoon’s tomb was opened. He claimed he had no knowledge that the king was an Igutu but the queen did not believe him.


Yeonbal and Gitoha and their war troops headed to the Fortress of Fire to rescue Eun Seom. The queen was wrong to detain Eun Seom because he was going to war the next day.

 

The royal guards led by Gilseon rushed there to confront them because they were trespassing on the queen’s grounds. 


The ministers, including Yeolsan, also received news of the impending skirmish. Yeolsan got to know the bad news from Tanya, Mungtae and Dalsae about the capture of Eun Seom, whom they were planning to rescue.

 

Dalsae, Mungtae and Yeolson decided to rescue Inaishingi. Previously, Saya had divulged information about the secret passageway to Tanya. The exciting escape orchestrated by the Wahans was successful.

 







The royal guards and the military troops nearly came to blows but they stopped when the queen found out Eun Seom had escaped.

 

 

 

HAUNTED BY THE PAST

 

 


 


The past had caught up with Dalsae and Mungtae. They were to part ways again. Mungtae instructed him to escape by way of Dalrae Rock. Dalsae apologised for his cowardice in the past and Mungtae also apologised for the betrayal of his friends in the past. It was a moving moment.

 

 

 

THINGS FALL APART:

THE CENTRE CANNOT HOLD;

MERE ANARCHY IS LOOSED UPON THE WORLD.

Y.B. Yeats (The Second Coming)

 

 



 

 

Discord had made itself felt in the Ago Union. The Sul tribe led by Sul Sagang had decided to go their own way upon learning that Inaishingi had disappeared. Tachukan who had made himself the leader ordered them to return to their position but they would not be ordered around. 


The Ago commander probably feared that the numbers of the union would be whittled down from the impending breakup. From Sul Sagang’s perspective, Tachukan was not next in line in the chain of command. He didn’t have the leadership qualities, aura and charisma that Inaishingi exuded.


To compound the situation, it was discovered a curse had descended upon them. Their horses were dying like flies  from a mysterious illness. The disease seemed to have spread like wildfire among the equine population. Compared to the horses of Arthdal, the horses of the Ago union were in a dire situation. The heads of the union were convinced that the Arth Gods were punishing them. Their luck had run out. The Arthdal horses, their war trophies, were now useless if the disease spread.


Mired in such a situation, the union was falling apart. The hostilities between Tachukan and the Sul chief were ameliorated by mediating parties.


The Ago Union suffered from many problems in the absence of the leader whom they revered.


Taemaja felt that they had to hide the fact that Inaishingi had vanished into the thin air to avoid sending the coalition into a panic. But the wily Suhana aka Red Claw, the spy argued they couldn’t hide that fact for too long. Ipsaeng and Dalsae had also disappeared. Mirusol was still searching for their leader in the forests.

 

 

 

SAYA IS TRAPPED BY FATE


 



Saya and Chaeeun were walking in the forests which was full of unknown dangers. The embittered and arrogant Arthdal general was harping on the fact that Eun Seom, his twin, had taken over his place in Arthdal. He was unaware that his younger twin brother had no intention of staying there. Being a general in Arthdal wasn’t Inaishingi’s cup of tea. It was just that he hadn’t thought of a clever way to wheel and deal out of the dangerous situation.

 

And, here in Ago, Eun Seom was the revered Inaishingi, so what could he, Saya, do in the Ago Union? He was neither here nor there. And having lost everything, the hoity-toity Saya was aghast that Chaeeun, a member of the hoi polloi, was talking to him disrespectfully.

 



 







Meanwhile, Tagon had killed several medical assistants in his demented state.

 

 

 

THE HARSH REALITY

A BLEAK AND DIRE FUTURE

 

 

 








Yeolsan had secretly brought Eun Seom out of Arthdal. He advised him not to return to Arthdal but he received a rude shock. Eun Seom confidently declared that he would be back as Inaishingi with countless warriors of the Ago Union.

 








As a sign of good faith, Yeolsan presented Eun Seom with an iron sword, which the younger man tested. When he swung it, a ringing sound was heard.

 










Astonished, he realised the iron sword was far superior to his bronze sword. The iron sword, which was lighter and stronger than the bronze sword, was the pride of Arthdal. And Yeolson made it clear: Have no delusions about it. Arthdal could produce it in great numbers very easily. 







The Ago Union did not even have enough bronze swords, what more iron swords. Was it a hyperbole when he said that thousands and millions of Arthdal soldiers would swarm over Ago with iron swords? Millions – such frightening numbers! Yeolson had painted a petrifying picture of the future armies of Arthdal which would rapidly advance from the west to the east.

 











Yeolson had magnified a future so horrible that Eun Seom, in his small Ago world, could never have imagined. The threat was not in the remote future or the not-so-distant future but the immediate future – NOW. He made no bones about it; he was explicit and unambiguous. 


In Yeolson’s opinion, it was unquestionable that the Ago army had zero chance against an invincible invading army armed with a new war weapon.

                                                           

Yeolson insisted that Eun Seom show the lethal weapon to his people and persuade them to disperse in the hopes that many lives will be spared. If not, they might just die in vain. But Eun Seom knew that they will forever live in the shadows and mortal fear of Tagon and Arthdal.

 



 




THE DANCE OF DESTINY

 

 

 

 



Eun Seom was confounded by this new development. All the lives of Ago depended on him. The Chosen One and the Ago Union were now trapped in a dance of destiny. Will things break apart for the Ago Union?


The audience wait with bated breath at the revelation. The twist and turn of the story has them in the palm of the writers.


The gods have other plans for their Chosen One. As he reflected on Yeolson’s words, thunder rumbled and forked lightning lashed across the sky. Torrential rain poured down on the hero, who was mesmerised by the amazing sword. The cliffs were a pool of flickering shadows.

 

 

 

SAYA IS FOUND






Buksoe, Eun Seom’s friend from his Wahan days, had reappeared; he was overjoyed to see the person whom he thought was his childhood friend. But the clueless Saya had no knowledge of him. Luck was on his side; Chaeeun had met Buksoe before.


In that exciting moment, Mirusol and her group of searchers had happened upon them. Her excited yells could have woken up the dead. ‘Inashingi is here!’ The respect they had shown towards the man whom they thought was their beloved leader, Eun Seom, was a startling revelation to Saya.

 

 


ARAMUN’S ORACLE 

THE ZELKOVA TREE CRACKS

  


Mulling over the future threat of the iron sword to the Ago Union, Eun Seom failed to notice the presence of Yangcha who had crept up on him. 


Feeling the burning eyes of the other man, he was shocked by the threatening stance of the obsessive former Child of Shahati who was there to avenge what he thought was the danger Eun Seom had brought to Tanya.

 





 

 



Fighting in the driving rain, they crossed swords multiple times. Yangcha finally discovered that his bronze sword was useless against the relentless swing of Eun Seom’s iron sword. Eun Seom swerved and swayed as the swords swung back and forth. It was inevitable Eun Seom would win. It was a fight between a god who armed with an iron sword and a mortal with a useless bronze sword. Eun Seom was invincible.


Yangcha rolled to the ground in humiliation but though he was stunned, he did not give up.

 

 


THE LIGHTNING SCARS

THE LICHTENBERG FIGURES

 

 

 

 


At that moment, the zelkova tree broke into two, leaving the stump standing while the branches fell into the deep ravine below. Yangcha took the moment of distraction to slash at Eun Seom but as fate would have it, his sword, like the tree, also broke into two.

 



 




Eun Seom’s lifted hand, which was pointed towards the sky, was struck by lightning. The lightning coursed through the metal sword, a conductor of electricity; it flowed right through his arm, causing a massive shock. He grimaced in pain. His face ran the gamut of emotions as the flashes of electricity left a spidery network of bloody red scars running along the length of his rippling muscular arm.

 







His hand was marked by the Lichtenberg figures from lightning strike. The searing, fiery, red-hot electricity seemed to burn into him as he struggled with his enormous pain.

 

It was a fearful sight as Eun Seom’s hand trembled and shook. It seemed that the lightning, which had gripped him like a vise, had stubbornly refused to let go. He also couldn’t detach himself from it. Finally, when the blinding light vanished, the convulsions ceased and his sword flew away. Left breathless from the ordeal, it seemed that he had swayed unsteadily at the edge of the the precipitous cliff.


The Kdrama audience must have been kept on the edge of their seats. The hairs of their necks must have also bristled.

 

Taking advantage of the dangerous situation, Yangcha jumped up, took off his reel of chains that was wrapped around his body and swung it at Inaishingi. Eun Seom lost his balance and fell headlong into the abyss below.

 


 

THE FEROCIOUS SCALING 

OF 

THE STEEP CLIFF

 






It was horrible and heart-breaking moment for the audience as Inaishingi, howling in pain, grabbed desperately at the air. It seemed like it was the end of Eun Seom. His screams echoed through the stillness of the mountains. Some may have goosebumps; some were instantly horrified.

 





But no, if you’d ever doubted Inaishingi was a god, then this was the moment when your doubts vanished. There is no shadow of a doubt about his divinity.


You might not believe it but Inaishingi impressively fought his way up the cliff – he scaled the steep incline of the cliff in the fierce raging storm to reach the summit. His ferocious predator look matched the thunderous, devastating storm.

 











The murderous fiendish look in his eyes took on a life of its own. An incandescent, mersmerising purple glow blazed within. He was like a cobra come alive.

 

The savage and agile Igutu was like a wild animal which had been stung into a frenzy. He was not unlike a monstrous spider. With his 4 powerful and muscular limbs spread apart, he moved with appalling speed over the jagged outcrops and ledges without losing his grip and without falling. He had furiously crawled up the slippery vertical cliff with such ferocious determination and shaking with such pent-up fury, that viewers must have been shocked. One can think of no animal that can hurl itself forward like he did. His amazing agility and balance showed that he was no human; he was superhuman. He was a god.

 

 


AT THE MERCY

OF
INAISHINGI

 






When Inaishingi reached the top of the cliff, the cliff climbing four-limbed hero looked as if he could tear Yangcha from limb to limb. He grabbed hold of the former Child of Shahati and hurled him down from where he had climbed up. 


Yangcha instinctively threw his roll of chains up and it caught one of the ledges.



 


 


The bedraggled handsome hero looked down at his nemesis for some time as the latter, while gripping his chains, struggled and dangled in the raging storm. Inaishingi, being a god, was merciful. Seeing scant reason to kill the ignorant mortal, Inaishingi finally pulled him up. It was a close call for the foolish bodyguard.

 






THE SWORD

OF
ARAMOON

 


 

 

 




Then Eun Seom recalled the words of Aramun,


‘When the zelkova tree cracks and my sword is revealed, Aramun shall know their mission.’


Yancha asked, ‘Is it Aramun’s sword?’


Gazing at Yangcha, Eun Seom ordered him to inform the High Priest that Aramoon’s sword had been found in the zelkova tree.





 

 


When Yancha objected, Inaishingi stressed, ‘From now on, this is Aramun’s sword.’

 









 




Then, Inaishingi raised his lightning-scarred right hand which held the iron sword. He proclaimed, ‘No matter how you see it, this sword is mine! Tell her - I, Eun Seom of the Wahan Tribe, will become Inaishingi and Aramun Haesulla!’ There was a note of finality in his voice.

 


 

 

 

 

 

 


 



 

At that moment, the audience realise that Eun Seom was willing and determined to make the iron sword his sword and to fulfill the mission as dictated by the oracle. He would accept the mission to unite the powers of the two gods, Inaishingi and Aramoon. 


Lightning streaked across the skies and thunder rumbled.


With a thunderous roar, while holding tightly onto the sword, he plunged it deep into the heart of the stump of the zelkova tree. Then, his eyes glowed a purple hue, the mark of an Igutu.

 

 


 




 


  














GUILTY PLEASURES


 



Many ladies and perhaps even men, might succumb to the guilty pleasure of watching the compelling, not to mention, scrumdiddlyumptious Lee Joon Gi at the end of Episode 5, over and over again. 


Well, what’s wrong with a little indulgence every now and then. But most likely, they won’t be giving it up anytime soon.

 









Imagine the glorious muscular arm, biceps and triceps of the best action star ever; they are a sight to behold. Many can visualize him even in their dreams: his 4 powerful limbs crawling spider-like furiously up the steep incline of the cliffs and also his powerful raised lightning-scared hand gripping his iron sword.









The gorgeous Lee Joon Gi has made Eun Seom even more divine, masculine, savage and charismatic than anyone has ever imagined him to be. Man, oh man! What an awesome sight!


And for those who had complained of not being able to see Lee Joon Gi’s muscular legs as well in the television series, there’s an image of the athletic actor in his running shorts during the filming of The Sword of Aramoon.
