Korean drama Ijilmae 2008 quotes
Ep 1 – There are many types of
pretty flowers, but why do you only like titi
flower? / Because it looks like cherry
blossoms, but not as glamorous like cherry
blossoms. It looks like jasmine,
but not as pitiful like jasmine.
That's why I like it. It is representing the righteous mankind and because of
that in my eyes titi are the
prettiest of all flowers.
The
birds are returning home, I guess the spring is coming.
It is
those people such as you, My lord, that mess up the class system. / Class
system? Young master, the aristocrats have to act like aristocrats, so you
could live up to being an aristocrat, then you could be a young master. … /
Where you under the impression that all aristocrats are created equal?
Live
anonymously, do you feel that much freedom? / Being a free agent has its own
enjoyments. / That's right, in the current political climate I really admire
the anonymous way that you are living. / Because the political road is a tough
journey.
You are
my treasure. A treasure that is second to none.
What do
you think a sword means? There are 2 categories of swords: one category is
specialized in killing people; by contrast, the other is a tool used to save
people. i hope you won't have to touch a sword for your entire life. But if all
else failed and you have to touch a sword, it will be a sword for this world. It
will be a sword to rescue people.
Ep 2 – I heard that they will cut
the criminal dead body into pieces. (This is a quartering punishment; the dead
body will then be soaked with salt and spread everywhere.)
Have you
heard of the saying: 'Nothing couldn't be cured when sleeping with a young
girl'?
You
bastard, is your mouth only used to argue with your father?
Do you
want to replace that phoenix with this wild chicken? [between 2 women]
If my
father is not a woman then was I born by the moon's energy?
Ep 5 – Between parents and
children, there're no need to say 'thank
you'.
There's a saying 'when it's meal time, even a
dog must be left alone'.
Ep 6 – You guys haven't seen the
scenario of 'poring oil into the burning flame', have you?

A bear performs the act, a human collects the
money, right? ... Using money to buy position took away all your efforts and

Ep 8 – Wall-climbing doesn't
solely depend on strength but rather vital elements… You have to be at a
distance from the wall, not too close. When running, look at the wall, then be concentrated. I am now not a human being, but a bird.
Hold it tight! Use the front claws to climb up and then push by the hind legs.
Use two hands to strongly grab the wall, then place one leg over. Do you feel
like floating? … You have successfully climbed up. Get down now! … Gosh, this
silly boy, why did you get down like that? When going down, your feet have to
touch the ground first so that your knees don't get injured. Your current
posture is as same as taking a dump. It's a posture when you want to take a
dump. It's not a pre-pooping posture.
But it is a pooping posture. Your legs have to be in the relaxed and gentle
stage. A thief's movement is like a ghost's movement. Amateurish burglars will
make sounds. But a professional burglar will absolutely make no sound. That's
why guards specializing in capturing burglars must have the most sensitive ears.
… No, no, moving like you would take forever to either steal things or escape.
A burglar must absolutely not move with his entire foot. No matter how fast you
run, you will make no sounds. It is all due to modus operandi. The secret of
this modus operandi lies here [in foot].
If you use either forefoot or rear-foot, no matter how careful you are, you
will make sounds. Thus, you have to practice to let neither your forefoot nor
rear-foot touch the ground. Unlocking must be done within half an hour. Unlocking
isn't that easy. You didn't even look who made the lock… Make your hands as
sensitive as the insects' antennas. In every lock, there's always a cleavage to
insert the key. The key will be unmovable once it gets there.

nothing better than this private wealth (private wealth is a wealth illegally

The story of the Ijilmae [tree] – She: I heard that bird has a very sad story. But, in the
end, I didn't get to hear the story. / He: Could I tell you that story? Once,
there was a chef who had a very beautiful fiancée. But near the wedding day,
his fiancée passed away. That chef sat in front of her grave every day,
grieving her, his deceased fiancée. One day, a titis tree grew next to her grave. The chef considered the tree as
the spirit of his deceased fiancée, so he took very good care of the tree. As
the tree grew taller, the chef was growing older as times went by, he started
to feel worried. ‘If I die, who will take care of the titis tree?’ Suddenly, one day he disappeared.

In this
world there are two kinds of swords: one type is used to kill people; in
contrast, the other one is used to save mankind. I hope you won't have to hold a sword in your lifetime. However, if
it can't be helped, you could only use swords for this world's safety and to
save people.
Although
the sword has no blade, it still can kill people if you intend to. Killing
people is not up to the weapons. It's up to the human heart.
