Gu Family Book Episode 14 is definitely the episode you wouldn’t want to miss. It has the romance, the heart break, the tense, the unveiled mystery… Okay, enough with the intro

The Monk was visited by his old friend. He asked how could he resurrect. Wol Ryeong said he had a question for The monk before he answer the question. “Earlier I saw someone strange. He’s nor human nor spirit. Who’s he?” And their conversation was left there…in the mean time.

Jump to the village. Kang Chi was startled seeing Dam Yeo Wool in her girly appearance. “Dam Yeo Wool, is that you?” he asked, mesmerized.

Then jump to Mr.Jo’s private festival for his guest. Gisaeng Cheon performed her drum performance.

Back to Kang Chi and Yeo Wool. They’re awkward, but something needs to be said right? So Kang Chi went first: “Why are you coming out like this?” Yeo Wool:”I sometimes wear this kind of dress. Does it strange?” Kang Chi:”Yes.” Yeo Wool:”Which part (that looks strange)?” Kang Chi:”Just..all.”  Yeo Wool was upset, taking Kang Chi’s answer as a dislike gesture. Kang Chi tried to explain: “It just seems not you. Like you’re someone else. Don’t get mad.” Yeo Wool assured him,”It’s also me!”

Then they both enoyed the lantern festival. Yeo Wool hang her wish on a lantern. “Isn’t that my wish?” asked Kang Chi. “No, that’s mine,” said Yeo Wool. “Because my wish is that you will find the book and become human. That’s my wish.” Among the crowd, there was Wol Ryeong, watching his son. Kang Chi sensed Wol Ryeong, but when he turned to look, his “old” man was not there anymore.

In Mr.Jo’s private party. Mr.Jo asked if his guest satisfied with Gisaeng Cheon’s performance. The lady in veil seemed to be disappointed. Cheong Jo stepped forward to challenge the lady to explain in which part Gisaeng Cheon was lack. She argued that Gisaeng Cheon’s skill was perfect. But the lady said she’s wrong and explained in which part Gisaeng Cheon’s performance was lack. The lady left. Mr.Jo was upset to Cheong Jo. He then tried to talk to his guest and kind of suspected her as originally from Korea. In short, it’s a bad night for Mr.Jo. He didn’t even accept Gisaeng Cheon’s apology.

Cheong Jo had a walk in the village. She saw the wishes hung on the lanterns. She remembered how the year before she and the brothers had been in the same festival. They were so cheerful. That life seemed to a centuries old memory for Cheong Jo. Then suddenly came Kang Chi who was walking with Yeo Wool. Yes, very awkward situation. And it was Cheong Jo who decided to avoid them. She was about to leave when she bumped into a drunk man. The man didn’t want to let her go, so Kang Chi had to handle that man. He even walked Cheong Jo back home.

Cheong Jo thanked him coldly and just told him to leave. Kang Chi tried to talk, “Are you still afraid of me because of my other form you saw the other day?” Cheong Jo asked him back, “What about that girl with you? Does she, Dam Yeo Wool, know your other form as well?” Kang Chi said yes. Cheong Jo got the situation. Then she turned into the cynical gisaeng again. She said he could visit her next time in gisaeng house and they could drink together. Kang chi said for him she’d always be Park Cheong Jo. But Cheong Jo slapped him with the fact that she’s become a real gisaeng.

Going back to the village when it’s already morning, Kang Chi found Yeo Wool already changed into her usual dress again. Back to Dam Yeo Wool that he knows. They stared at each other for some time. Yeo Wool was about to cry, but she held it. She asked if Kang Chi walked her safely home. Kang Chi said yes. Yeo Wool asked if the person that’s most important in his heart was Cheong Jo. Kang Chi didn’t answer, and Yeo Wool kind of get his silence as a yes. She just said sorry for getting into his private realm. She’s about to leave, but Kang Chi held her. He was about to say something, but refrained, and instead just said,”I’m hungry.”

In Mr.Dam’s house, Geon and the Old Master were lying to Mr.Dam about Kang Chi and Yeo Wool’s where about. Then suddenly a breaking news arrived: one of their warriors was found dead on a tree in the part of the woods that’s nearest to Dam’s resident. It’s the warrior who was in the woods with Kang Chi the other night. Mr.Dam asked for the truth about Kang Chi and Yeo Wool’s where about.

The two were having breakfast. Then there’re a couple of men provoked Kang Chi, but it was Yeo Wool who handle them. Then the village gang showed up. The leader surprisingly stood for Kang Chi. Everyone was confused and found him very very strange. He even offered himself whenever Kang Chi found any trouble.

Geon finally found Kang Chi and Yeo Wool, and immediately delivered the bad news. Kang Chi was going to pay his respect to the warrior, but other warriors refused him. They were suspecting him as the murderer. Yeo Wool told her father the truth about their where about last night. Mr.Dam was upset and Yeo Wool was grounded.

Gisaeng Cheon came to visit Mr.Jo’s guest personally to officially apologized for Cheong Jo. (UN)surprisingly, the mysterious lady could speak Korean. She asked if she could make a visit to the gisaeng house sometimes. Gisaeng Cheon said that gisaeng house was forbidden for woman, but she said there were two ways a lady could visit that place. The lady then prepared herself. She’s taking a bath. She got the gisaeng tattoo! And a deep claw’s mark on her left shoulder. OMG…Could she be…Seo Hwa??

Mr.Dam held an important meeting. They had a very important mission to run. Geon, Kang Chi, Tae  Seo, Yeo Wool and the old master were there. Mr.Dam announced that Tae Seo would go to his old house. He’d pretend to be Mr.Jo’s spy. Kang Chi opposed the idea, but Md.Dam assured them that it’s Tae Seo’s post in the mission. Then he told Yeo Wool to pay more attention to Tae Seo from now on. Mr.Dam suddenly announced that Yeo Wool and Tae Seo were actually arranged for marriage since they’re kids. If Kang Chi was surprised, Geon was upset. Yeo Wool was the most upset person. Tae Seo’s situation was awkward, but he wasn’t surprised at all. So he knew about this all this time. And that’s why he never sought for other girls. Geon tried to talk to Yeo Wool who shut herself in her room, but Yeo Wool was not in the mood of talking. Geon could only listen to her cry.

And it’s not only Yeo Wool who has to deal with her heart break. Cheong Jo was channeling her heart break by practicing drum playing. Then her senior came to tell her that she got a guest: Mr.Jo. He brought a present for Cheong Jo: her old maid. Cheong jo asked what he asked for return as she knew he’s not that generous. If Mr.Jo was trying to buy her heart, he had to dismiss the senior gisaeng from the room. Mr.Jo did what she said. And Cheong Jo knew how to declare a vengeance in a gisaeng way.

Kang Chi continued his bean counting task. This time the person who annoyed him was the old master. The old master tried to provoke Kang Chi’s feelings by reminding him about how Yeo Wool was able to keep him stay human even though without the beads. And Kang Chi remembered some moments: actually while Yeo Wool was sleeping on his shoulder the other day, Kang Chi did a trial by taking out his beads. He didn’t change! And he did it again during the lantern festival. “The truth is I don’t know either…” his voice over said.

Then suddenly Kang Chi got a mysterious visitor. Wol Ryeong showed up in front of him. “Who are you??” asked Kang Chi. But when Kang Chi rose from his seat, he dropped the bowl and Wol Ryeong had gone.

The secret order under Admiral Lee held a meeting: Geon, Tae Seo, Mr.Dam, the old master, and the gisaeng. They were ready for the big mission.

Tae Seo went to Mr.Jo. He told Mr.Jo that Admiral Lee was building a ship. He even shared to Mr.Jo the confidential ship design. This was part of Mr.Lee’s plan.

In his library, The Monk woke up in a sick condition. His library looked messy as well. He remembered his last conversation with Wol Ryeong. The Monk answered Wol Ryeong’s question: “He’s Seo Hwa’s son.” Wol Ryeong just casually said,”Ah, Seo Hwa’ son.” Monk:”He’s also your son.” Wol Ryeong: “Where’s that woman now?” Monk:”After giving birth, she was killed.” Wol Ryeong kind of said how it’s a petty Seo Hwa died, but he seemed to be upset to the fact that he tried to be a human and because of her he was dead. Then he hit The Monk. So in my perception, Wol Ryeong had become completely “a spirit” (if not a beast) who had lost his humanity.

Kang Chi went missing. Yeo Wool searched for him alone. Mr.Dam got the news and was upset. Geon knew what he needed to do.

Yeo Wool searched for Kang Chi in the woods. Meanwhile Kang Chi was searching for the Monk. He found the Monk in his library, unwell. The Monk told him to runaway as his life is in danger. Someone very dangerous is looking for him: Wol Ryeong, his own father. But he explained about Wol Ryeong’s condition. Back in the woods, Yeo Wool was being the target of Wol Ryeong. She ran away, but then tripped. Wol Ryeong approached her. And just like a telepathy, Kang Chi suddenly could hear Yeo Wool’s untold scream for help. Wol Ryeong made a contact with Yeo Wool.
