Gu Family Book (Korean Drama 2013)

I just finished watching a sageuk Korean Drama "Gu Family Book".

Actually the story started in Kang Chi's parents' love story. Wol Ryung, a gumiho and Seo Hwa, onced a noble but became a runaway slave because of the accusation to his father.
Seo Hwa refused of being a giseang and she swore to get back to the one that messed up her family. In the end, she thought of killing herself to save her brother and to end her misery. With his pitiful situation, Wol Ryung decided to help her. He brought Seo Hwa to his Moonlight Garden.

And I so very love this scene. It's too magical.

This scene is where Seo Hwa almost killed herself but blue little lights started to bloom. It looks like little fireflies. The background music is also love.








They have a cute relationship really. Wol Ryung even though a strong man, he really has a soft heart of a kid. He really loves Seo Hwa. The sweet things he did for her is also a plus.:'>
They got married and they lived together in the Moonlight garden far from the people outside the forest. But through out their relationship, Wol Ryung never told Seo Hwa his true identity. Wo Ryung decided to become a human before Seo Hwa will find out. He tried to obtain the Gu Family book by the help of his monk friend.

And an incident just happened...





And! And! AND!
This is so frustrating! Their relationship ended like...ugh! awe.
This scene is heart-breaking, very!

So after the Wol Ryung-Seo Hwa love story [SUPER SPOILER ALERT: this isn't actually the end in their relationship,they'll meet again later in the story but never ended up the way I want them to be. :'( ] ,

Choi Kang Chi (Lee Sung Gi)

             Kang Chi's story began. For some reason (I don't want to spoil you too much), Kang Chi became an adopted child of a business man that owned the biggest inn in their place. Kang Chi is half human-half mythical being but he grew up as a human without knowing his true identity..He is cheerful and playful but a bit naughty as well. He is strong in his nature. He sometimes caused trouble to others and a bit hot-tempered.. But Kang Chi is very protective to the family that adopted him. He will risk anything for them. After the revelation that he is a half mythical being, he struggle to fit in himself in the world full of people that see him as 

some kind of a monster. Like his father, he wants to 

be a human being as well.

      In the other hand, is Suzy Bae's character Dam Yeo Wool. She is from a noble family and a daughter of the owner of a martial arts school. She is great in sword and also knows how to handle a bow and arrow. She is brave and a bit aggressive at times. Although she seems to be a little a boyish, she is a girl at heart. She still worries if she will grow old alone. I personally like her character. She is actually my favorite in this drama. 

Dam Yeo Wool (Suzy Bae)

She has a pure heart. She accepts Kang Chi even after knowing his true identity. She is the one that's helping Kang Chi to get through the tough times.

I like her character because she is not the typical leading lady that is very clumsy and cutesy or whatsoever. For me, she's so cool.

Park Chung Jo (Lee Yoo Bi)

This girl is Chung Jo, the daughter of the one that adopted Kang Chi. Her fate is a bit similar to Seo Hwa's but the difference is she accepted to be a giseang, even though she doesn't want to. She is Kang Chi's first love. But even though, she is not really the kind of character that you'll hate. 

Park Tae Seo (Yoo Yun Suk)

Park Tae Seo is the brother of Chung Go. He is also a close friend of Kang Chi. He suffered under a hypnotized but he later used this as a weapon instead.

I think he has a secret special feelings for Yeo Wool. :)

Gon (Sung Joon)

     

And here is Gon, the shadow of Yeo Wool as what Kang Chi described him. But he is like the one that looks after Yeo Wool and seems to be her bodyguard. He truly cares for Yeo Wool and I think he has a secret special feelings for her as well like Tae Seo. He is very good in sword but a bit stoic and shows little emotion.

 A peach tree with a crescent moon hanging from it, this is where a story begun.

The drama is light-themed for a segeuk but it is so depressing and there's a lot of heart breaking scene (for me). There's also some funny moments. So I think this drama is just balanced of everything. I totally love the cast, from the mains to supportings, they all gave justice to their role. Actually, I never get bored of watching this. I always looked forward for the next episode because there are things that make you curious of what will happen so you'll crave for more. I also learned a lot from this, trust, acceptance, forgiveness and sacrifices,

So I really recommend this drama. You'll never regret watching this. And this became one of my favorite sageuk dramas. 

And here's another heart breaking scene!!! </3

But it isn't the ending yet,...

One of the twist of this story is the ending. For me, it was very unexpected. And because I was surprised, I like how it ends. So I'll not spoil you the ending, you gotta watch it!

All in all, I really like it! :)
