An acrostic poem using Iljimae (Lee Jun Ki vers.) as a topic.
Innocent when his tale began, but
Legendary he would turn out to be.
Justice he practices as taught by his father
In raising his sword for good rather than
Malice that seeks only to end life.
A simple thief and criminal to the wealthy
Even though he is beloved by the poor.
Politics took away everything
He held dear as a child
And any life he might have lived.
Never will he forget what he saw, due to a
Tattoo marking the skin directly
Over his heart. The image he saw on the
Man's sword, etched into the blade,
That took his father's life.
He seeks out the sword
In the homes of the nobles.
Eager to catch the man who killed his
Father, he wastes little time with guards.
