Drama Throwback: Gu Family Book

SUZY AND LEE SEUNG GI!!!!! OMG I loved this drama soo much... It's sad that Lee Seung Gi and YoonA are dating now, I'm not a SuzyxLeeSeungGi shipper anyways... but they were soo cute in that drama... I loved everything about it except the ending... I don't want to spoil much for the ppl out there who want to watch it soo... lets go over the characters...
Choi Jin-hyuk (as Gu Wol Ryung)
A gumiho (mythical creature) that falls in love with a human, Yoon Seo Hwa, who gets sold as a gisaeng after her father is framed for treason. Father of Seohwa's child, Kang Chi.

Lee Yeon-hee, Yoon Se-ah (as Yoon Seohwa)
Daughter of a lord framed for treason, and sold as a gisaeng. Saved by Wol Ryung but betrays him in the end. Becomes pregnant and bears Wol Ryung's child, Kang Chi. Comes back for revenge.
         
  Yoon Se-ah, older Seo Hwa
 Lee Yoon-hee, younger Seo Hwa
Lee Seung Gi (as Choi Kang Chi) Main Lead

Abandoned at birth by his mother, Kang Chi grows up under the protection of Lord Park of the Hundred Years Inn. After a certain accident, he realizes that he is half human half gumiho. Meets a childhood aquaintace, Dam Yeo Wool, but doesn't recognize her until later on in the drama.
Protected Yeo Wool when she was younger from a wild dog and thus inspires her to dress as a guy to train and learn martial arts.



Pursues that Gu Family Book like his father so that he can become human again. 

Bae Suzy (as Dam Yeo Wool)
First (poorly) dressed as guy when she first saves Kang Chi's life, you can very clearly see that Suzy is a girl. But somehow, Kang Chi is under the impression that she is a guy. She is at first accompanied by Gon, one of her father's apprentices. When she was younger, she asked her father to teach her martial arts because she didn't want the people around her getting hurt protecting her. 

Yeo Wool then remembers that Kang Chi was the person who saved her and slowly tries to protect/fight by his side, and care for him. Later, when Lord Park dies, and Kang Chi is framed for the murder, by the same person who persecuted Lord Park, Yeo Wool and Gon go look for him in the forest. After, Yeo Wool gets Kang Chi to train at the dojo that her father runs, to prepare him to look for the Gu Family Book. Of course, the plot doesn't run this smoothly, there are a lot of things in between the main scenes in this drama.

They are sooooo cute together it hurts, lol... 

but then there's Chung Jo, the daughter of the deceased Lord Park, she is a gisaeng who Kang Chi promises that he will help her escape. But she plays with his feelings quite a lot... and Yeo Wool can't help but be jealous...

Park Chungjo/ Park Taeseo
The daughter and son of the deceased Lord Park, when Taeseo first encounters Kang Chi again, he tries to kill him because of hypno-therapy that has been placed on him by Jo Gwang Woong who framed both Seo Hwa's father and Chungjo's father. Talk about deja vu,,,

These are some of the main characters, not all... but this is kinda the main triangle/rectangle... not trying to spoil this but many say it isn't a love triangle... when Kang Chi and Yeo Wool just start dating, literally a few hours after... Tae Seo says that Yeo Wool's father promised that if Tae Seo didn't become aggressive and try to kill Kang Chi again, he will Tae Seo, Yeo Wool's hand in marriage... Kang Chi catches them talking and he has mixed emotions... but then Yeo Wool comes in and realizes something is wrong, and in an attempt to cheer him up, she realizes that he's jealous. They have this huge talk about how jealousy is only for those who can't get what they want... she tells him that he shouldn't be jealous. Kang Chi's answer is "I don't know, because I've never had anything belong to me before, only me belonging to someone".
Talk about over sweetness! I totally suggest this drama to anyone who loves romance in a historical setting with some action... or someone who likes cheesy romance... lols
