Plot
On a night when the plum blossoms were in full bloom, young Geom
(actor Yeo Jin-gu) witnessed the death of his father. The black emblem
engraved on the sword shone under the moonlight... His father’s blood
was splattered on the plum blossoms... After that night, Geom’s life
became a wretched existence. He was adopted by a thief, Swe Dol (actor
Lee Moon Shik) who named him Yong.
One day, Yong (actor Lee Joon-ki) remembered his past when he was
being chased by a group 13 years ago (1644. 22nd year of King In-jo’s
reign). Thoughts of revenge didn’t occur to him. His dreams were to be
reunited with his mother and sister, recover his family home, and live
with his family again. But when he finally met his sister again, she was
executed in front of him. Revenge was all he wanted after that. Yong
has a tattoo of the black emblem, which he saw on the sword that killed
his father, engraved on his chest.
With the skills he learned from his foster father, who was a
small-time thief, he obtained information from the nobles by committing
his first break-in. But he left behind a plum blossom by accident. When
the officials found this evidence, people began calling him “Iljimae”
which means "A single stalk of plum ". From then on, he left behind a
painting of red plum blossom to mark his presence and prove that he was
the burglar everytime he robbed a house. Yong discovered the existence
of a secret list, with the names of all the members of the secret
Tianyou Clan while slipping into a nobleman’s home in search of the
sword with the black emblem. Yong recalled that his father was a member
of the secret Tianyou Clan. He then decided to use Eun-chae (actress Han
Hyo-ju) to obtain the full list. Under his meticulous plan, Iljimae
approached Eun-chae. Eun-chae fell into love with Iljimae and the
feelings became mutual but he kept his focus on getting revenge and
holding back on telling the truth to Eun-chae.
The royal court was deploying all their forces to capture
Iljimae. Shi-hoo (actor Park Shi-hoo) failed to capture Iljimae twice
during a stakeout. But Iljimae suffered a deep gash from Shi-hoo’s
sword.
Bong-soon (actress Lee Young-ae) discovered Yong lying half-unconscious
from his wound and she took him to her foster father Gonggal, who saves
Yong’s life. Yong then found out that Gonggal is one of the two
legendary assassins and begged Gonggal to teach him martial arts.
The stories of various incidents involving Iljimae spreaded among the
people who began to worship him as the hero of the commoners. Iljimae
robbed more noblemen to the delight of the people.
Royal palace prosecutor Shi-hoo became obsessed with catching
Iljimae. King In-jo felt threaten by the growing reputation of Iljimae
as the king of the commoners and wanted him captured at all cost.
Mysterious deaths kept occurring after the death of his father.
Small nail scratches are found on the dead bodies that keep turning up.
The shocking truth emerged... Who wielded the sword with the black
emblem? Iljimae then bravely embarked on his final mission!
