My Girl actor Lee Joon-ki will be playing a Robin Hood-like character in his latest historical drama entitled Iljimae (일지매).
To be aired over the SBS network, the 20-episode drama is set during the Chosun Dynasty where a man named Ryung masquerades as a useless bully in the marketplace during the day, but goes about as a chivalrous robber at night!
In true Robin Hood tradition, the character robs from the rich and corrupt Government officials to give to the poor. Known as Il Ji-mae to the masses, the robber typically leaves his calling card behind in the form of a plum tree's branch after each robbery.
The 26-year-old Joon-ki portrays the titular character with support from Han Hyo-joo, Lee Young-ah and Park Shi-hoo. The series will be aired in Korea from May 21 onwards.
The promo pics that accompany this story was taken this afternoon (May 15) in Seoul.
