Gu Family Book Episode 24 Quick Summary (Final) https://kdramachoa.com/gu-family-book-episode-24-quick-summary-final/ https://kdramachoa.com/gu-family-book-episode-24-quick-summary-final/#comments Tue, 25 Jun 2013 15:08:29 +0000 http://kdramachoa.com/?p=27595 We finally come to the final episode of Gu Family Book. I warn you to prepare two things. First thing is tissue, handkerchief or whatever that can help you wipe your tears. Second thing is, a broader mind set to digest the unexpected surprises at the endings…(plural friends, yes endings).

So let’s start our last quick summary.

Back to the moment when Kang Chi came to Mr.Lee and asked him to believe in him. Mr.Lee also asked him to promise him something in return: Whatever happen later, Kang Chi had to promise him not to kill anyone, Mr.Jo nor his men.

After Kang Chi rescued Yeo Wool, he actually asked Yeo Wool to just go back home as her father was so worried. But Yeo Wool insisted on going with them all to help Mr.Lee. And then we arrive at the scene where the shooting happened. So it was Yeo Wool who took the bullet. And of course this incident provoked Kang Chi. He didn’t change into his beast mode right away, but just stayed in his human form while beating Mr.Jo’s right man. “You die! For everything you have done, you must die!” Kang Chi was choking the man in anger. Mr.Lee reminded Kang Chi of his promise and Yeo Wool called him back. Geon told him to seek help for Yeo Wool.

guga24_001

But Mr.Jo said no one was allowed to leave the place easily (read: alive). At that time, Mr.Lee brought out the surprise. He summoned his troops and they immediately showed up, surrounding the building. The Japanese party turned their backs on Mr.Jo as they considered Mr.Lee’s negotiation the other night.  And the ninjas blew the gas bomb to flee. We still have no idea what happen to our arch villain: Mr.Jo.

Yeo Wool’s condition was not yet fine. Her wound was treated, but she’s still unconscious. Mr.Dam was so desperate as he couldn’t do anything else.  Kang Chi was also desperate. He asked the Monk if there’s any method to save Yeo Wool. The Monk told him there’s none. The only best way for him to do then was to go back to Yeo Wool’s side and stayed there till the end. When Kang Chi arrived in Mr.Dam’s residence, the junior warrior informed him that Mr.Dam and others went out to search for Mr.Dam.

Geon and Tae Seo participated in the mission. They found Mr.Jo and his men in the woods. While the warriors were fighting Mr.Jo’s men, Kang Chi came facing Mr.Jo in person. Kang Chi was calm outside but full of rage inside. He stays in his human form. Mr.Jo still had a courage to face Kang Chi, but Kang Chi beat him in only one hard slap. Kang Chi chopped his hand.

guga24_002

Later that night, Kang Chi stayed by Yeo Wool’s side. Yeo Wool woke up and asked him to help her sit. Lying on Kang Chi’s shoulder, Yeo Wool made sure that she’s okay. She also said that she felt sorry for making her father worried so much. And it’s time for her to made three requests to Kang Chi.

First request: we can hear from Kang Chi’s voice. “Master, Yeo Wool asked to have dinner with all of us tonight.” And they all did have dinner together. They had light conversations and laughs about them. Only Mr.Dam kept the stern face. Kang Chi tried to enjoy the conversation while his eyes checked on Yeo Wool every second. They were talking about Geon and Tae Seo when suddenly Yeo Wool felt the pain and was bleeding. Her father and Kang Chi noticed it soon. Kang Chi asked her to go back to her room right away. Yeo Wool insisted on staying a little longer. It took Mr.Dam to repeat the request and made Yeo Wool stop insisting. Yeo Wool looked at his father’s weary face: “I’m sorry, Father. Really sorry.” Mr.Dam took his daughter’s hand and told Kang Chi, “Kang Chi, please take care of Yeo Wool.”

Kang Chi was carrying Yeo Wool to her room when suddenly she told him her second request: “I want to go hiking with you.” They sat by the river holding each other’s hand. Yeo Wool brought up light conversation.
Yeo Wool: “Why are you afraid of giant spider?”
Kang Chi: “Because they have so many legs.”
Yeo Wool:”Really, because of that??”
Kang Chi: “Why can’t I?”
Then they remembered their earlier encounter. Yeo Wool asked since when he remembered that she’s Dam Yeo Wool from their childhood memory. Kang Chi told her since she told her she’s Dam Yeo Wool. Kang Chi asked Yeo Wool to marry him. Yeo Wool told him her flaws: can’t cook, etc. Then Yeo Wool, crying, holding Kang Chi’s face and said, “I don’t want to be your sad memories. I want to be your happy memories. That’s my third request.”
Kang Chi: “We must meet again, MUST.”
Yeo Wool: “Ng (Yes).”
Kang Chi: “I love you.”
Yeo Wool: “I love you.”
They’re crying…and kissing each other.

guga24_003

We can hear Kang Chi’s voice over: “If I meet you again, I will be the first to recognize you. If I meet you again, I will be the first to love you.”
And the time finally came. They’re not yet finish kissing, when Yeo Wool finally collapsed. She died right there. Kang Chi cried loudly hugging Yeo Wool by the river that night.

guga24_005a

And everyone else, seemed to be able to sense the sadness. No one was asleep that night. They’re alone in their room, thinking of Yeo Wool…

Days passed. Kang Chi stayed alone in Yeo Woo’s room when Tae Seo found him. He’s wondering how time went by and about what would happen if she never met him. “Would she stay alive now?” You know, this kind of “what ifs” questions. Tae Seo told him that he knew Yeo Wool since childhood and he said he could see that Yeo Wool had had the happiest days in her life since she met him. And Tae Seo managed to get Kang Chi out of the room.

Kang Chi excused himself from Mr.Dam and everyone. Kang Chi would no more search for Gu Family Book. He would go for an adventure until the time he would reunite with Yeo Wool again. The old Master gave him medicine and put on a ring on his thumb. Mr.Choi gave him a deep hug. Mr.Dam handed him the precious sword. Everyone bid him goodbye. Tae Seo just said, “Till we meet again.” But Geon was not there. Apparently he was standing on the gate.
Geon: “Good bye, Kang Chi.”
Kang Chi: “Live well, Friend.”

Cheong Jo received a package: the red vest she gave to Kang Chi apparently had never been touched by him and now was sent back to her. Later that night she went to the prison to visit Mr.Jo. She said she wanted to have the last drink with him together. By doing that, the issue between them would be close forever.Apparently, Cheong Jo poisoned Mr.Jo and dead he was.

guga24_004

Kang Chi met Mr.Lee on the way. Mr.Lee asked where he was going. Kang Chi still had no idea about his destination. Mr.Lee gave him advises and told him his positive impression on KAng Chi ever since their first meeting. And off Kang Chi started his journey.

The flower in Yeo Wool’s room suddenly bloomed as the blue fireflies appeared…

Present time. Year 2013, 422 years later.
The sword, the medicine…the items in KAng Chi’s possession, as well as the bloomed flower were all kept carefully in an luxury apartment. A young man, short hair cut, was having a bath. From the magazine he was reading, the old master in current life had become a famous herb man. He’s still wearing the ring. He kept his red vest inside the closet. On the phone someone named “Yoo Yeon Seok” was calling him. We shall not forget that Kang Chi was an immortal. And in this drama context, they believe in reincarnation. The after life was just a waiting time before everyone is reborn into this world. And for Kang Chi, he’s been living all these centuries alone and this era seems to be the time where everyone was reincarnated and comes again in his life..

guga24_006

Mr.Choi becomes his butler. The other worker becomes the usher in his apartment.
The fancy car and…..background song Maroon 5?? Anyway. He was passing through Gwanghwamun square. He smiled at Admiral Lee Sung Shin’s statue standing high there, and then stopped at a red light. Right there he saw a girl running in front of his car, a girl who looks like Yeo Wool. But he shrugged the thought away as he doesn’t want to lift his hope that high. He arrived at his destination. And he was just out of the car when his super hearing heard a woman screamed for a help. At first he was reluctant. But he kept hearing the scream. Yeo Wool’s trainer was cornered by a gang whose leader was also a familiar face. So the gang leader still has the same life no matter what era he live? Poor him :D. Anway, Kang Chi helped the woman. He was surprised that he saw familiar faces. He addressed them with their previous names, of course the two were confused. Kang Chi then managed to beat the gang down as they push KAng Chi to do so. But then a female police came. The gang fled. The woman also went off. Kang Chi, raising his hands, thought he could hear a familiar voice. When Kang Chi turned around, he finally saw Yeo Wool, pointing a gun to him. He lowered his hands and spontaneously said, “Yeo Wool-a.” The police officer in black dress and gun pointing at Kang Chi, “Why? How could you know my name? Do you know me?”

And we hear Kang chi’s voice over again: “If I meet you again, I will be the first to recognize you. If I meet you again, I will be the first to love you.”

guga24_005

Kang Chi, still startled, answered Yeo Wool: “I don’t know. I think I know and I think I don’t know.”
And this encounter was again nearby the cherry blossom tree and under the crescent moon. And Kang Chi was sure their new chapter starts there.

The after “credit”:
A house bell rang several times. Someone answered the door: “Who is it?” Kang Chi showed up behind the door.
He looked surprised as he saw Geon’s face. Geon showed his police ID. But the surprise didn’t stop there.
Behind Geon, another familiar face showed up: Admiral Lee.

Gu Family Book Episode 23 Quick Summary https://kdramachoa.com/gu-family-book-episode-23-quick-summary/ https://kdramachoa.com/gu-family-book-episode-23-quick-summary/#comments Mon, 24 Jun 2013 15:04:37 +0000 http://kdramachoa.com/?p=27581 Gu Family Book episode 23 starts where it ended: Kang Chi was breaking up with Yeo Wool. KAng Chi said they need to break up because he doesn’t want her to die. “There is no one in this world who knows when he/she will die!” protested Yeo Wool. “You do!” said Kang Chi.

guga23_001

So Kang chi is really leaving. He said he’s just going to bid goodbye to Mr.Dam. Geon just watched Yeo Wool crying alone at the gate.

Kang Chi went to see Mr.Lee. They had a walk.  “Mr.Lee, I’m curious about something. If someone you care the most will die because of you, what would you do?” Kang Chi asked for Mr.Lee’s advise. He needed a confirmation that his decision of leaving Yeo Wool was correct. But Mr.Lee gave Kang Chi a question that made his startled. Kang Chi was not finished thinking when suddenly they’re surrounded by ninjas. One of the ninjas was one of Mr.Dam’s warriors that hated Kang Chi. Those ninjas were under the Japanese samurai. Mr.Lee just told that samurai something and they didn’t kill him right away. The samurai consulted to Seo Hwa’s ex interpreter about what Mr.Lee told him. Back safely at home, Mr.Lee shared with Kang Chi the highest value of everyone’s life: to protect the one he/she loves. So Kang Chi remembered Yeo Wool.

Yeo Wool was unable to calm herself because of the bad break up. Then she was picked up by the traitor warrior saying that he had something to tell her. Yeo Wool’s trainer met Geon at the courtyard and told him that Yeo Wool was picked up by this warrior. Meanwhile Kang Chi was also looking for Yeo Wool coming to Mr.Dam’s place. Geon went out to search for Yeo wool and found them. The ninjas made Yeo Wool unconscious and were about to bring her away. The traitor warrior stabbed Geon, but he was still strong enough to fight with the ninjas. Geon was stabbed again and this time was worst. He fell unconscious, but thankfully Kang Chi came right in time. Kang Chi poured his blood to Geon’s wound. Meanwhile the ninjas took away Yeo Wool. When the ninjas went across the village, the village gang leader and his fellow witnessed them.

guga23_002

The next day, Geon woke up safely. There were only Mr.Dam, old master and TAe Seo. Mr.Dam asked if he was saved by Kang Chi. Geon said yes. And then Mr.Dam asked where Kang Chi was.

Kang Chi went to the inn to confront Mr.Jo. He asked about Yeo Wool’s whereabout. Mr.Jo played fool. Kang Chi tried to attack, but Mr.Jo got those Japanese samurai and ninjas. Apparently, it’s Mr.Jo’s way to put Kang Chi in a difficult situation. Mr.Jo was making Kang Chi killed Mr.Lee otherwise Yeo Wool would die as well as the two inn’s workers: Mr.Choi and the other guy. Mr.Jo gave Kang Chi only until the next day.

guga23_003

With what happened to Yeo Wool, Mr.Dam was of course not in a good condition. Gisaeng Cheon paid him a visit. Mr.Dam then ordered to get Kang Chi.So they all held a meeting. Kang Chi said they should immediately rescue Yeo Wool. But Mr.Dam made a shocking announcement: he would give up Yeo Wool. When a true warrior had to face the condition where he had to choose between his country and his daughter, he must choose his country, the greater good. Kang Chi protested his decision. “She’s my only daughter and I’m giving her up. So why should you insist? You just have to go on with your business searching for Gu Family Book,” said Mr.Dam. Kang Chi opposed him,”I can’t give up Yeo Wool. For me Yeo Wool is the only person I have left! What’s the point of being a human without being able to save the person I care the most?” And this time, Geon, Tae Seo and even Gisaeng Cheon had to apologize to Mr.Dam for standing on Kang Chi’s side instead of on his side.

guga23_004

Later after that the half sober gang leader came to Mr.Dam’s house to report to KAng Chi what he had witnessed last night. He was sure that the ninjas brought Yeo Wool to the inn. And yes she was there, kept somewhere remote in the inn. So the four guys immediately break into the storage room in the inn to rescue Yeo Wool. Apparently, there were so many storage rooms. So while the guys were searching, Mr.Jo’s men were moving Yeo Wool somewhere else. The desperate Kang Chi finally decided to go to Mr.Lee. The other guys opposed him, but all they need to do was to trust him. “I come here to protect the person I care the most. Do you trust me Mr.Lee? Will you be able to trust me?” Kang Chi asked Mr.Lee.

Gisaeng Cheon’s spy saw where the ninjas brought Yeo Wool to another place. Cheong Jo offered herself to be a volunteer on the delivery mission. Yeo Wool was brought into the same place where they keep the two workers. They tied them and put a big mace club above Yeo Wool that was connected to a sand sack. One ninja stab the sack, so they only had time before the sands could no longer hold the mace club and finally hit Yeo Wool.

Cheong Jo delivered the information to her brother, Geon and Kang Chi. And then the guys were ready for action.

Meanwhile in the inn, Mr.Lee came down there to meet Mr.Jo. This time he came alone, without his men.

The sand sack was almost finish and the mace club was going down soon and kill Yeo Wool. The trio plus gang leader were coming to rescue Yeo Wool, but that place was surrounded by ninjas. In the middle of the chaos, Kang chi could hear Yeo Wool’s cry and struggle from afar. And Kang Chi could save Yeo Wool in time. But once they’re safe, Yeo Wool started to attack Kang Chi: punching him, kicking him, and beating him “You’re such a bad man! A bad man!!” But of course they ended up hugging each other and cried together. In their hearts they declared their loves for each other.

guga23_005

Meanwhile back in the inn. Mr.Jo was trying to prolong the conversation with Mr.Lee while his right hand man was ready to pull the trigger aiming at Mr.Lee.But then the young people came to fight along with Mr.Lee. Kang Chi thought he could finally over power Mr.Jo, but they didn’t know about Mr.Jo’s man who’s holding the gun. And when they realized about that man,he pulled the trigger. And obviously, the person who get the bullet was either Kang Chi or Yeo Wool.

Gu Family Book Episode 22 Quick Summary https://kdramachoa.com/gu-family-book-episode-22-quick-summary/ https://kdramachoa.com/gu-family-book-episode-22-quick-summary/#comments Tue, 18 Jun 2013 14:40:02 +0000 http://kdramachoa.com/?p=27568 Gu Family Book episode 22 is not yet the drama finale, nor the end of Kang Chi’s misery. But even so…there are some moments of clear sky in this gloomy situation.

Let’s get back to the moment when it was raining. Yeo Wool remembered how her father had told her to leave Kang Chi and that guy cried on Yeo Wool’s shoulders innocently thinking that this girl was all he had left now. So Yeo Wool had only three days before she told Kang Chi everything.

The next day, Kang Chi woke up finding himself in his room, but with Yeo Wool’s hand above his chest and she’s sleeping next to him. But well, you cannot think of western kind of sleeping-together scene :p .  Apparently she was not sleeping since she told Kang Chi that the reason why she’s there was because Kang Chi cried so bad last night and she worried of letting him spend the night alone. But Yeo Wool couldn’t get rid of the three-day limit off her head. Then she asked Kang Chi if there’re things he would request from her. The first thing he asked was rice cooked personally by Yeo Wool.

guga22_001

Kang Chi was about to get to number two when Geon was on the door. Kang Chi pretended to still be asleep. But Geon noticed Yeo Wool’s umbrella and Geon knew how to catch them red handed. He couldn’t stand not to beat Kang Chi whether it was a misunderstanding or not. Kang Chi giggled after Yeo Wool’s trainer who caught Geon and Kang Chi in an awkward position finally left the room. “Do you think it’s funny??” said Geon before he left. Kang Chi stopped giggling. In his heart he said, “Yeah, I can still laugh. It all passed. And I can still laugh.”

guga22_005

 

The Monk got a visitor: his old pal, Wol Ryeong. This time, the real Wol Ryeong. The Monk helped Wol Ryeong to meet his son, this time in a different situation…more civilized if you may say. Kang Chi asked about his mother and Wol Ryeong said she’d be forever with him very soon and this time he knew there would never be the second resurrection. But before he left this world to join Seo Hwa, he had something to do for his son..the least good thing he could do. He told Kang Chi that he knew Kang Chi’s wish to be human and he gave him some advises. He grabbed his shoulder before leaving, in a very warm way. Kang Chi then asked,”This is our last meeting, right?” Wol Ryeong: “Yes.” Kang Chi:”Then occasionally…very occasionally…I will miss you.” Wol Ryeong paused shortly but then left.
And we can all hear Kang Chi’s voice: “This way also, another matter passed.”

guga22_002

Wol Ryeong had prepared a beautiful death for him and Seo Hwa. Back in the cave, he laid himself next to Seo Hwa’s body on the flowery-decorated stone table and then back to death. The blue fireflies started to fly around them and the ivies started to cover their bodies.

Kang Chi discussed to the Monk about his mission on finding Gu Family Book. He showed his progress to the Monk how he could stay as a human without the beads. The monk showed him the old book, but he warned Kang Chi how he should rethink very very well about his decision. But Kang Chi was so confidence about his choice. The Monk explained the rules. But Kang Chi kept saying that he was eager to do this for Yeo Wool. He wanted to spend his life with Yeo Wool, that’s his dream now.

guga22_003

But then The Monk told him the bitter reality about the condition if he took this choice. His decision would cost Yeo Wool’s life if he didn’t let her go. Remember about The Monk’s warn to Yeo Wool about how their bitter destiny started in front of the tree under the crescent moon on the night she saved Kang Chi? Between the two would die. Yeah that thing. So Kang Chi refrained about the book and he realized there’s no other possible way for him to get greedy: being a human, and get a happy ever life with Yeo Wool.

Kang Chi went home with an expression that made Yeo Wool asked, “What’s the matter? Is everything okay?” Of course Kang Chi didn’t say anything. And Yeo Wool was excitedly presenting him her rice masterpiece. So while they’re facing each other, each of them was thinking about their bitter reality: one about the remaining days they had together and another one is worrying about the death penalty. But then Kang Chi got a visitor from the inn, informing him about Tae Seo.

Tae Seo was caught by Mr.Jo’s men in the previous episode. And this time Mr.Jo was interrogating Tae Seo. Mr.Dam also heard the news, but then they went to see Mr.Lee. The famous turtle battle ship of Admiral Lee Sung Shin was almost ready. He showed to Mr.Dam, and the young people the smaller model of the ship. And he also showed them the complete navy map. They would  get to make action soon.

Tae Seo was still do the bargaining with Mr.Jo. He asked for the inn and everything that he had taken away from the Park family to be handed back in return to the information he had. Cheong Jo was of course part of the bargain. Mr.Jo tried to make sure that Tae Seo would not fool him. And Mr.Jo started his plan by ordering a series of murder to some noble men.

While Mr.Dam and other Mr.Lee’s officers took care of the big issues, the three young people had to take care of something else. This time Kang Chi managed to make Yeo Wool stay and wait while the guys made execution. “This is my second wish,” said Kang Chi.  Yeo Wool: “How could you use your request for this kind of situation?” Kang Chi: “Promised is promise, Yeo Wool.”

In the gisaeng house, Gisaeng Cheon by using Cheong Jo, tried to distract Mr.Jo from his plan killing the noblemen who were in the house. This time didn’t work. He killed those noblemen. And when he was about to leave, Mr.Lee came in. Right that time, a gisaeng came out crying. The officers who check reported about three men were found dead.Mr.Lee revealed his founding about the death of 11 noblemen to Mr.Jo. This time Mr.Lee’s warning managed to make Mr.Jo was shaken a bit.

guga22_004

So while Mr.Jo was in the gisaeng house, Kang Chi and Geon were trying to sneak in to the inn. But they had to face some ninjas. Apparently, waiting was not also keeping Yeo Wool safe. A ninja attacked her and he managed to hurt her. As she feld further in, she saw how Kang Chi and Geon were busy fighting the ninjas. And an accident happened, an unexpected one. Kang Chi who wasn’t aware it was Yeo Wool who approached him, just attacked her spontaneously with his claws. The samurai went out and Geon handed him the message. Meanwhile Kang Chi, shocked and feeling sorry of what he had done to her hand, tried to heal her but failed. His blood didn’t work to heal her. No blue fireflies. It took Geon to stop him making larger wound on his hand.

Yeo Wool’s wound was treated. But no one and nothing could heal Kang Chi’s broken heart.

Knowing that his plan turned a mess, Mr.Jo was desperate. He finally ordered to finish Mr.Lee’s life.

In Mr.Dam’s house, Yeo Wool searched for Kang Chi. He was not in his room, nor in the kitchen. He turned out to be sitting alone outside, contemplating. When Yeo Wool came to him, she said her hand was okay and explained how the old master treated her wound well. Kang Chi said that to be frank he actually could not guarantee that he would not hurt her much worse next time. Yeo Wool realized that Kang Chi had heard about their complicated destiny, about one of them had to die if they didn’t break up. So it was Kang Chi who spit it out: “Let’s end it here (let’s break up).” Yeo Wool: “What do you mean by that?” Kang Chi: “That’s my third request, Yeo Wool.”

Gu Family Book Episode 21 Quick Summary https://kdramachoa.com/gu-family-book-episode-21-quick-summary/ https://kdramachoa.com/gu-family-book-episode-21-quick-summary/#comments Mon, 17 Jun 2013 14:52:57 +0000 http://kdramachoa.com/?p=27552 Gu Family Book episode 21 is quite sad…I’m telling you in advance. Don’t really expect too much magic dear fans. It’s about learning to really let go…

Quick back to the last scene from previous episode. Wol Ryeong was wondering who Seo Hwa was while he stared at her in a creepy way. He asked who she was.

And there Kang Chi stepped forward between his parents. He attacked his father first, but of course Wol Ryeong was stronger. He was about to put his hand on Kang Chi, Seo Hwa screamed, “Doonn’t. Don’t. He’s your son. Our son.”
But the boys continued their fight. They were in the middle of locking each other when Kang Chi saw some archers in red uniforms aiming their arrow to Wol Ryeong. He soon switched their place and Kang Chi took the arrows for Wol Ryeong. Seeing what the guards did to Kang Chi, Wol Ryeong immediately kill those guys.

guga21_001

Meanwhile Yeo Wool, Geon and Tae Seo were cornered. They decided to flee ad the ninjas didn’t bother to run after them. The three came to Kang Chi. Yeo Wool held Kang Chi tight while Geon was pulling the arrows out of Kang Chi’s body.Soon the blue fire flies heal him. Wol Ryeong was still watching from a distance. He kept wondering who Seo Hwa really was. The brother-pals (plus Yeo Wool) brought along Seo Hwa to Mr.Dam’s house.

While Kang Chi was happy having his mother save and sound with him, Mr.Jo got a lot of problems: first, his archers were found dead. second, Seo Hwa disappeared. Well, he kind of knew where she went…

Seo Hwa was having a meeting with Admiral Lee. While the boys are asking Kang Chi about his mother, someone’s stomach was making a loud sound..very loud. And everyone was turning their head to Yeo Wool. She said, “It’s not me…It’s my hungry stomach.” While Yeo Wool and Kang Chi were arguing who should eat the first big part of the chicken, Tae Seo and Geon couldn’t stand the lovey dovey scene and took the big parts of the chicken first.

guga21_002

Tae Seo then helped KAng Chi with his homework from Gisaeng Cheon.

Kang Chi prepared the matress for his mother, asking her to sleep well from this day on. Kang Chi finally got his mother back.
Seo Hwa told him that actually that day she looked for him, but she couldn’t find him. Kang Chi had forgiven her anyway.

guga21_003b

Mr.Lee received an emergency news from his subordinates. The confused and angry Wol Ryeong murdered a big number of villagers. Mr.Jo also got this news. So they predicted that Wol Ryeong would next go to the inn.

Kang Chi took a nap on his mother lap. When his mom watching him sleep, she suddenly remembered something. She still had the charmed wooden stake.

guga21_003

Yeo Wool exercised with Geon. Then they saw Seo Hwa approaching them. Seo Hwa them was showing something to Mr.Dam. Meanwhile Yeo wool went into the room where Kang Chi was sleeping.Seo Hwa asked Yeo Wool for a favor. She would deal with Wol Ryeong since she thought she’s the only person who could give Wol Ryeong what he was looking for and it’s her way as a mother to protect her son, Kang Chi.Yeo Wool woke Kang Chi up. She decided to break her promise to Seo Hwa to keep the information as a secret from Kang Chi: “Your mother is going to the village, to deal with Wol Ryeong.”

guga21_004

Meanwhile in the village, the villagers were panic and moved out to a shelter organized by the Magistrate.

Kang chi asked Geon where his mother was going. Geon told him where Wol Ryeong would strike next. Kang chi decided not to let Yeo Wool got involved. He left when Yeo Wool asked him to wait for her while she took her stuffs. Kang Chi asked Geon to do the talk.

In the village, the officers were on their aler situation to face Wol Ryeong. Mr.jo was also there. He’s quite confidence as he had the gun. As soon as Wol Ryeong was approaching, Mr.Jo was aiming his gun to him and ready to fire.But then Seo Hwa stepped forward. She asked him to stop. But Wol Ryeong chocked her. All she could do was call his name and cry..and yeah, cry. The cry was then the key. Wol Ryeong refrained. But, Mr.Jo didn’t postpone his plan to fire the gun.In the quickest moment, Wol Ryeong who noticed the situation, changed position with Soe Hwa and took the bullet for her. It was pretty much like the old time. Wol Ryeong was bleeding. But magically, his eyes turned back to black and all his beast mode turned to human.

guga21_005

“Seo Hwa…” Seo Hwa asked if he remembered. Then they cried together and hugged each other. “Now, we both can go in peace,” said Seo Hwa’s voice. Right in that time, a big gust of wind blew. And when the wind stopped, when everyone opened their eyes, the couple was not there anymore.

guga21_006

Meanwhile on the way, Kang Chi was stopped by Mr.Lee. He asked Kang Chi to let his mother go..rest in peace. Mr.Lee explained how it was Seo Hwa’s own last wish.Kang Chi wept and begged Mr.Lee to let him save his mother. Mr.Lee explained to them it’s a mother’s way to protect her son. And Mr.Lee was there to give Kang Chi a shoulder to cry on.

Seo Hwa woke up and found herself in a familiar place: the cave. She remembered how she woke up the first time in that place long time ago. And there again Wol Ryeong.. the handsome Wol Ryeong she used to know, came before her. Seo Hwa asked about his wound. Wol Ryeong that he could remember his face, but that’s all. Wol Ryeong was being..cold. Seo Hwa just understood why, so she said, “Wol Ryeong, I was still young that time. I loved you and I am sorry that I have hurt you.” Then Seo Hwa showed him the wooden stake. She said she had been keeping the stake in case she would meet him again to pay her debt to him.

guga21_007

And there she stab her own heart with that stake. And what Wol Ryeong saw was the young Seo Hwa again. Wol Ryeong caught her in his arms. Seo Hwa asked for forgiveness and touched his face….and then died. Wol Ryeong could only screamed out her name and hugged her tight. And we could see all the blue fireflies around them. Wol Ryeong remembered everything…and this fact that made the scene was sadder..

guga21_008

Kang Chi sent his answer for the homework to Gisaeng Cheon. And went back home under the rain. He had Yeo Wool waiting for him.
Kang Chi was then free from the beads and could keep his human mode comfortably. But earlier Yeo Wool was told but her father to break up with Kang Chi. “I’m home,” said Kang Chi. Yeo Wool asked about his mother. Kang Chi hugged her and struggled to find the right word to explain what happened to his mother. Kang Chi just cried and hugged Yeo Wool. While Yeo Wool patting Kang chi’s shoulder, she remembered how her father told her to break up with Kang chi.

Gu Gamily Book Episode 20 Quick Summary https://kdramachoa.com/gu-gamily-book-episode-20-quick-summary/ https://kdramachoa.com/gu-gamily-book-episode-20-quick-summary/#comments Tue, 11 Jun 2013 15:10:11 +0000 http://kdramachoa.com/?p=27536 The tense is high again in Gu Family Book episode 20. Let’s just get to the story.

Tae Seo and Seo Hwa were discussing their plan. For Tae Seo, the most important thing is knowing when they will kill Mr.Jo.And then we see how the ninja approached Mr.Jo, but he was saved by his right hand man. Oh no..he’s still alive! When they stepped out of the building, they found dead bodies of ninjas on the ground…died in a weird way. They could sense something wrong is coming, and it or he is really coming: Wol Ryeong. Mr.Jo knew exactly who’s that creepy man standing in front of him.

guga20_001

“How could this happen? I’ve witness you died with my very own eyes…”
Wol Ryeong still have an unfinished business. He needed to know who had made him like this. Well, I don’t blame him for being very angry. First he tried so hard to be human, and then be killed and now resurrect in a severe confusion. Mr.Jo said it wasn’t him who had made him suffer this way, but Seo Hwa. “Who the heck is this Seo Hwa?!!” yelled Wol Ryeong.

Yeo Wool asked Seo Hwa if she could come back as Kang Chi’s mother. “Can’t you start over with Kang chi?” Yeo Wool tried to persuade her. She asked nicely for her to pay their time together that they had  lost since she threw away Kang Chi on the river.

Mr.Dam didn’t play soft with Kang Chi.It’s a kind of tough training for Kang Chi, and a real serious one..it’s the way Mr.Dam himself prepared Kang Chi to be ready to fight his own father. Kang Chi agreed to take off his beads as Mr.Dam kept challenging him.

guga20_002

In the morning, Seo Hwa had to deal with Mr.Jo. They’re finally reaching the ultimate confrontation. Seo Hwa just had enough of this man and she ordered her ninjas to kill Mr.Jo. But a surprising thing happened. The swords of those ninjas were pointing at her! She’s betrayed by her own used-to-be translator. Seo Hwa was badly cornered. Tae Seo witnessed what’s happening there and soon reported it to Gisaeng Cheon.

Yeo Wool arrived home in the morning. She found that Kang Chi was in the battle with her father. The junior warrior and the old master told her that they had been fighting since last night. Mr.Dam explained to Kang Chi his real aim of provoking this battle. Geon confirmed it too. The point is, if Kang Chi couldn’t win over Mr.Dam, how could he win the fight with his merciless father? Kang Chi got the point. It’s for his own good. So he tried to raise his anger by remembering things.
When he remember the way his father almost choked Yeo Wool, he could almost win from Mr.Dam…his paw was already high and ready to attack, but of course he refrained. And Mr.Dam stab him. He told Kang Chi not to ever refrain like that anymore in the real battle because he would not only make himself killed but also the people he cared for.

guga20_003

Mr.Jo shared the information about Mr.Lee’s ship design to his new ally. Meanwhile Mr.Lee himself was testing his weaponry and checking the ship design drawings.

Yeo Wool came to check on Kang Chi’s condition. She’s bringing him his clean shirt. Kang Chi got nervous about the fact that Yeo Wool was there right in front of him while he had to take off his clothes to change. Yeo Wool’s stare was just flat, while Kang Chi was very nervous. Kang chi turned around and told her to turn around too. But the clean shirt was on Yeo Wool’s side and he tried to reach it after he took off his shirt. (okay girls..droooooooool :D  )Yeo Wool tried to help but they fingers touched and Yeo Wool turned, saw KAng Chi’s bare body. They were awkward for a moment and it was Kang Chi who turned first and hurriedly put on the clean shirt. Yeo Wool couldn’t stand giggling.

guga20_004

Kang Chi teased her if she’s that happy seeing a man’s bare body. Yeo Wool said that it’s not a big deal for her seeing a man’s body..well yeah considering her environment. “So you’re happy because it’s MY body?” teased Kang Chi. And then he scoped Yeo Wool’s face with his hands and then kissed her…several times…before they hugged.

guga20_005

Cheon Jo came to visit Kang Chi. She’s delivering the news about her mother’s condition. Mr.Jo was deporting Seo Hwa soon. The girls encouraged Kang Chi to at least meet her and said a proper goodbye. But Kang chi still hated his mother for all she had done. Kang Chi left the room first, and Cheong Jo was the last. Before leaving, Cheong Jo left a red vest for Kang Chi, with a beautiful embroidery on it.

Tae Seo found the Japanese girl in his room, leaving him a note.

Meanwhile Mr.Jo was meeting Wol Ryeong. So he seemed to have a plan relating Wol Ryeong and Seo Hwa…or sort of.

Kang Chi went to the village. He saw the gang leader and treated the leader and his man lunch. He asked the gang leader about mother…and as Kang Chi didn’t tell why he brought up the mother topic, the gang leader brought up the topic about the hug between him and Yeo Wool, whom he thought as a guy. Yeo Wool suddenly showed up and Kang Chi told the gang leader that Yeo Wool was not a guy. After the lunch, while walking back home, Yeo Wool had something to tell Kang Chi. It’s about her secret meeting with Seo Hwa.
Meanwhile Seo Hwa was finally leaving the inn for Japan.

Kang Chi and Mr.Dam had their second round battle. Kang Chi was ready in his beast mode. He remembered what Yeo Wool had told him earlier. Seo Hwa told Yeo Wool that for the last 20 years she couldn’t sleep even a day. She thought al ot about what had happened to Wol Ryeong, and about her child. She also thought about her child would never forgive what she had done.
The battle started quickly and ended quickly. This time, Kang Chi didn’t refrain to use his paw. He managed to hurt Mr.Dam’s hand and made him drop the sword. Kang Chi made it. Mr.Dam could see the smile blossomed on Kang Chi’s face and suddenly turned back into his human mode: without the beads nor Yeo Wool.

guga20_006

After the battle, he rushed to get to his mother. Yeo Wool asked permission from her father and Mr.Dam gave his blessing to her, but of course Geon had to tag along. Seo Hwa was already on her way passing the woods. Apparently, it was not only Kang Chi and friends who were running after Seo Hwa. Some ninjas as well…their attack let Seo Hwa escape, but not far. Seo Hwa was cornered. First her Japanese lady voluntary became her shield and died. The second attempt the ninja tried to kill her, Kang Chi and friends came on time.
While Yeo Wool and Geon were fighting other ninjas, Kang Chi handle the ninjas who were about to execute Seo Hwa. The ninjas were down. But there came Wol Ryeong not far from them.
“Please stop all this. Just come with me,” Kang Chi told his mother who was still sitting on the ground.
Seo Hwa: “Just go.”
“Just come with me!”
Seo Hwa got up and determined to go instead of staying with her son. She needed to continue her mission of vengeance. She had to continue the war against Joseon after what they had done to her family. But Kang Chi reminded her, “What about me?? Don’t you see me here? I’m your son, right? I’m your son, mother…”
Seo Hwa stopped and just cried hard and touched Kang Chi’s face. “Forgive me…Really, forgive me..”
The mother and son finally made their proper reunion and hugged each other.

guga20_007

Meanwhile Yeo Wool and Geon were still fighting the ninjas. They’re out numbered and cornered. Their stamina slowed them down, but finally Tae Seo, with a mask, came to help them. Kang Chi brought his mother to the Monk’s place. But he let her wait outside because the Monk was not there yet. Kang Chi was about to go when Seo Hwa reached his hand to just say “Be careful.”
Kang Chi was already leaving when he suddenly sensed something…or someone was coming. And yes he’s right. the power of blood connection. Wol Ryeong came to approach Seo Hwa. The (ex)wife was so surprised and relieved seeing Wol Ryeong. But the angry Wol Ryeong was just being surprised and asked her, “Do you know me?”
And there Kang Chi came standing between them. Kang Chi warned his father that he would never let him kill anyone again and he would be the one who stop him.

Gu Family Book Episode 19 Quick Summary https://kdramachoa.com/gu-family-book-episode-19-quick-summary/ https://kdramachoa.com/gu-family-book-episode-19-quick-summary/#comments Mon, 10 Jun 2013 14:39:51 +0000 http://kdramachoa.com/?p=27522 Gu Family Book episode 19 is the time for Kang Chi to deal with his parents…with their different issues.

The story went back to the time when Seo Hwa attacked Mr.Jo 20 years ago. Apparently, he had a Japanese guess and the guess witnessed everything. After the guards took Mr.Jo away, the Japanese man checked on Seo Hwa and cofirmed her death. However, he sent some of his men to pick up Seo Hwa’s body at night. He knew that Seo Hwa was not dead in the first place.

guga19_002

Then back to the present. Kang Chi fell unconscious.

Gisaeng Cheon interrogated Cheong Jo’s maid. Then she sent the information to Mr.Dam. And soon the news spread by Geon to both Yeo Wool and Cheong Jo. Yeo Wool was being emotional and was about to leave for saving Kang Chi. Geon tried to make her stay. But it was Cheong Jo’s words that calmed her a bit: “I heard that Kang Chi’s mother is still alive.”

Mr. Jo challenged the lady. She complained the way Mr.Jo treated Kang Chi by saying that what she’s looking for is the map, not this kind of torture. So he should stick to the order: just bring her the damn map! Seo Hwa tried to hold her emotion in front of Mr. Jo but shaking badly as soon as she was alone in her room, thinking about KAng Chi.

guga19_003

And Mr.Jo continued his interrogation on Kang Chi. Then Mr.Jo told Kang Chi about his mother Yoon Seo Hwa. Kang Chi became very emotional about this topic of “conversation.”

Gisaeng Cheon worked together with Tae Seo to save Kang Chi. She gave something to Tae Seo, a pill, that would help Kang Chi’s condition and that guy handed that pill to the two workers in the inn.

Yeo Wool changed into her field costume again and ready to save Kang chi. She explained to the trainer what Kang Chi meant to her and that’s why she should let her go. Yeo Wool went to the village and found the gang leader and asked for a favor.

Mr.Choi went into the room where they kept Kang Chi. His mission was to deliver food for the guards, and give one to Kang Chi as well. The guard threw the rice into the floor and Mr.Choi helped cleaning the rice and showed Kang Chi the pill. But when Kang Chi was about to eat it, the guard kicked the rice away.

After talking to Seo Hwa, Mr.Jo had to face the uninvinted guests: the village gang. While the gang was making a protest on the courtyard, Yeo Wool came to save Kang Chi. While she’s fighting the guards, Kang Chi was still trying to get the pill. Mr.Jo who was busy with the gang suddenly sensed something fishy. He went to the shed where he kept Kang Chi immediately and caught Yeo Wool as well, after beating the gang leader. What they didn’t know was Kang Chi managed to eat the pill.

guga19_005

Mr.Jo showed Kang Chi in his beast mode to the public. It was Mr.Choi who begged Mr.Jo to spare Kang Chi. Of course Mr.Jo was not a man with mercy. He had his men beating Mr.Choi and it made KAng Chi furious. He managed to release himself form the chain and fought the guards. He was about to attack Mr.Jo when suddenly Seo Hwa’s samurai stepped forward. Seo Hwa showed up, in hanbok instead of kimono. Kang Chi passed out again. Mr.Jo ordered to finish Kang chi and Seo Hwa couldn’t stay quiet anymore. She gave up. She revealed her identity as the same person, Yoon Seo Hwa, he knew 20 years ago…so what would he do about that?

guga19_004

Mr.Dam and Mr.Lee got another issue to concern besides Kang Chi: Wol Ryeong. Mr.Dam consulted to The Monk. The Monk said that the only person who could deal with Wol Ryeong was Kang Chi only.

Seo Hwa brought Kang Chi into the room to be treated. Mr.Choi shared the story about Kang Chi that Seo Hwa had missed so far. He told her that the person who was really like a father to Kang Chi was not him, but the late Mr.Park. But Seo Hwa coldly said that she didn’t want to talk about Kang Chi anymore as she had buried the memory. Apparently Kang Chi heard that.

guga19_001a

And it was time for Seo Hwa to get the deal she had made with Tae Seo. What she said was a kind of betraying Joseon and Tae Seo against it, but had no choice. Seo Hwa reminded him what that country had given to him? His father died because the justice betrayed him. His little sister has become a gisaeng. His whole life become a mess. “So what this country had given you??!” Well, who blamed her for hating Joseon so much..she shared the same history as Tae Seo.

guga19_007

Kang Chi was feeling better physically, but not psychologically of course and was going out. He met Seo Hwa on the courtyard. “Are you leaving now?” asked Seo Hwa. “Yes,” said Kang Chi. “Then leave safely.” “Okay.” Kang Chi almost reached the gate when he turned back.

guga19_006

“Hmm..anyway…” he paused “Do you hate me that much?” he asked. “You threw me away to the river like that. Well, I’m just curious and just want to ask that.” Seeing his mother just went speechless, he just said, “Never mind. Excuse me.” and then left. Seo Hwa just broke down and cried alone.

guga19_001

In the gisaeng house, Cheong Jo had her way to avenge Kang Chi to Wol Seon. She also warned her maid that she won’t forgive anyone who against her.

Meanwhile Kang Chi was leaving, Yeo Wool and the gang leader were still kept in the shed. Kang Chi came to save them both.But of course KAng chi saved Yeo Wool first and they were drawn in their lovey dovey conversation, hugging…and forget the gang leader.
“What’s wrong KAng Chi?” asked Yeo Wool when Kang Chi hugged her. “Nothing..just want to hug you..” Yeo Wool patted him. They put the gang leader in an awkward situation,as he thought Yeo Wool was a guy.

Kang Chi and Yeo Wool were welcomed by Geon and the junior warrior. Then they had dinner together with the old master. While everyone was cheerful, Kang Chi couldn’t be fully happy. At first it was only Yeo Wool who noticed it, but actually everyone too as he’s shedding tears. Of course Kang Chi’s excuse was the food taste so well, but everyone kind of knew the truth.

Kang Chi examined his homework from Gisaeng Cheon then went to Geon. He said he knew that he’s the only one who should and could deal with his father.

Mr.Jo found something strange with his guard. A ninja came with a sword pointing at him. but then suddenly there’s a splash of blood.

guga19_008

Wol Ryeong was standing in front of the inn.

Yeo Wool was visiting Seo Hwa. She came to discuss about Kang Chi.

When Kang Chi and Geon arrived back at the courtyard, they found Mr.Dam. He asked Kang Chi to take off his beads and fight him. Mr.Dam had his sword pointing at KAng Chi and ready for a fight.

Gu Family Book Episode 18 Quick Summary https://kdramachoa.com/gu-family-book-episode-18-quick-summary/ https://kdramachoa.com/gu-family-book-episode-18-quick-summary/#comments Tue, 04 Jun 2013 14:48:46 +0000 http://kdramachoa.com/?p=27508 Let’s just go to the scene where Gu Family Book ended in the previous episode. Seo Hwa was rising her dagger and asked who Kang Chi was. Innocently Kang Chi just said, “anooo…” and made the funny gesture.

In the main room, the entertainment night was interrupted after a samurai came and informed something to the translator. The lady and the translator were on their way out when a gisaeng pretended to be accidentally bumped into the lady. The gisaeng pretended to help her cleaning her kimono and then pulled down the kimono so her bare shoulder was shown. There’s no tattoo. Gisaeng Cheon immediately informed Mr.Jo that the lady was a fake.

In Seo Hwa’s room, Kang Chi finally found out that the lady could speak Korean. He tried to make sure that he’s not the bad guy and the real bad guy was Mr.Jo. Then Kang Chi told her that since she’s staying in that place, there were three dishes she should eat that they were very delicious and she wouldn’t regret eating them. Seo Hwa then asked what his name was. KAng Chi told her his name: Choi Kang Chi: Kang for river, Chi for the guy, so his name’s meaning was the guy that was abandoned on the river. When Kang Chi left the room, one part of the map got left behind and Seo Hwa found that…and got angry.

guga18_001

Kang Chi went to the Yeo Wool. Then Tae Seo found them, seeing them holding them. But he just coldly said that they shouldn’t be caught so they should follow him.

Gisaeng Cheon and her group almost left Mr.Jo’s place when Mr.Jo stopped them, accusing Gisaeng Cheon for smuggling some things or some suspicious people out of the house. He made a sudden inspection, but found nothing suspicious. Apparently, Tae Seo and Gisaeng Cheon worked together to smuggle Kang Chi, Yeo Wool, and Geon.

The three people had to spend the night in the gisaeng house, more specifically in Cheong Jo’s room. It was an awkward moment for them…more because of the outfit.

guga18_002

As soon as they’re arrived there, Gisaeng Cheon picked them up for a meeting with Mr.Lee and Mr.Dam. Kang Chi immediately reported the thing that he took from the ninja meeting. He just realized that one more piece was missing, while the men were discussing about the map and the possibility of war. Back to Seo Hwa, he gathered his men and ordered them to get Kang Chi and the rest of the map pieces.

Kang Chi tried to explain to Geon and Yeo Wool how he lost one piece of map. Kang Chi said that he just had a short conversation with the Japanese guest who seemed to be a nice person. Geon and Yeo Wool guessed that the guest had to be pretty. Kang Chi tried to deny, but failed.

Cheong Jo overheard Gisaeng Cheong and Mr.Dam’s conversation about Seo Hwa and her relationship with Kang Chi, but not that clear yet. She went into the kitchen and asked the lady worker about Seo Hwa.

Mr.Jo complained to Seo Hwa. This time his bargain was his ability to help her finding the map, means finding Kang Chi. In return, he wanted to see her face in person. Seo Hwa agreed. Mr.Jo seemed to remember something when seeing her face. He turned pale immediately. He asked if she’s Yoon Seo Hwa. Seo Hwa said that she’s not and told him her new name instead.

guga18_003

Gisaeng Cheong had a private conversation with KAng Chi. She’s bringing up the topic about his mother. Kang Chi asked if she knew his mother. Gisaeng Cheong didn’t answer, instead she gave him some homework to finish. She drew a Chinese  character and told Kang Chi to solve it himself.

Yeo Wool and Cheong Jo were in the same room. Cheong Jo asked if Seo Hwa, the noble girl whose family was false accused and she was sold to the gisaeng house, was Kang Chi’s mother. Yeo Wool said that she just knew as far as the name. Then Cheong Jo was talking about how Seo Hwa was living with Kang Chi’s father who wasn’t human but tried to be and then Kang Chi’s father was killed by Mr.Dam. She also asked if Yeo Wool knew about it. Yeo Wool didn’t have to answer. Then Cheong Jo asked if Kang Chi knew about this fact. Yeo Wool didn’t answer either, but hurriedly left the room. But as soon as she opened the door, Kang Chi was there. He asked if what he heard was true. Yeo Wool didn’t answer and just left. She came home and cried with Geon. Cheong Jo said sorry to Kang Chi and asked how much he heard. Kang Chi said he heard everything.

guga18_004

Wol Ryeong condition was not getting better yet. The Monk tried to help him. Wol Ryeong was suffered not only because of the scratch caused by Kang Chi, but also by his confused memory that caused confused personality.

The Monk came to Mr.Dam. While Yeo Wool and Geon went back to Cheong Jo to ask about Kang Chi’s whereabout. But he wasn’t there. Kang Chi was in fact going to visit Mr.Dam at home, but this time in a different situation. Mr.Dam let Kang Chi hold the sword that he used for killing his father.  Mr.Dam explained to Kang Chi the situation during that time, how his father tried to be human but then had to be killed as he was considered to be dangerous, especially for Seo Hwa. Kang Chi was still upset. No matter what his family was torn apart. For Kang Chi, that sword was the beginning of his family’s tragedy.

When Geon and Yeo Wool came back home, they found Kang Chi in front of Mr.Dam’s quarter. He was quiet and his hands had bloods. Geon ran to his master while Yeo Wool…it’s a very difficult situation for her. Kang Chi could only whispered her name in his heart. Yeo Wool just walked pass him without even looking at him.

guga18_005a

When Geon and Yeo Wool came into Mr.Dam’s room, Mr.Dam was okay…it was just the sword that was broken into two. Kang Chi broke them. Apparently, Kang Chi was upset but he decided the wise way. Yeo Wool hurriedly ran outside to search for Kang Chi.

She found him in front of the gate. Yeo Wool tried to explain, but she couldn’t. And this time, it was Kang chi who just walked pass her. Yeo Wool was already crying when suddenly Kang Chi came back to hold her from the back. Kang Chi said, “Don’t ever do that again, keeping secret from me. Don’t ever do that again, going out and leaving me just like that.” Kang Chi tried to sooth Yeo Wool. He asked her to see him in the eye. He said, “I love you.I really love you so much.” And then they were hugging and crying together.

guga18_005

In the Monk’s library, Wol Ryeong looked like being poisoned. His blood vessels turned black.

guga18_006

Mr.Jo got the information from one of the gisaengs about Kang Chi and his friends hiding in the gisaeng house.Mr.Jo had a plan.

That afternoon Kang Chi got a visitor: Cheong Jo’s maid. She said that Cheong Jo had something to talk to him in private.

Geon noticed something weird when Yeo Wool’s trainer informed him that Yeo Wool got a visitor: Cheong Jo. He remembered Kang Chi excused himself for awhile because he had to visit Cheong Jo. Kang Chi came into the room in the gisaeng house and saw Cheong Jo. Meanwhile the real Cheong Jo was visiting Yeo Wool to apologize about what happened the other night related to Kang Chi.
Thankfully, Gisaeng Cheon caught the traitor gisaeng was tricking Kang Chi. But Kang Chi had drunk the drugged liquor already so he had no power to struggle when Mr.Jo and his men burst in and dragged him out.

Seo Hwa got the news that Kang Chi was caught. She saw Kang Chi was chained. Mr.Jo explained to Seo Hwa that Kang Chi was not a human and he’s letting her see when Kang Chi transformed. Mr.Jo had his man take off the beads. Kang Chi struggled, but he transformed into his beast mode. Seo Hwa seemed to be in pain watching what happened before her eyes. Mr.Jo challenged Seo Hwa: “that’s the guy you are looking for, correct?!” Kang Chi struggled and suddenly lost his consciousness.

Gu Family Book Episode 17 Quick Summary https://kdramachoa.com/gu-family-book-episode-17-quick-summary/ https://kdramachoa.com/gu-family-book-episode-17-quick-summary/#comments Mon, 03 Jun 2013 15:03:54 +0000 http://kdramachoa.com/?p=27495 This episode of Gu Family Book starts with Kang Chi’s voice over and some flashbacks. “Why couldn’t answer you question that time? Why couldn’t I tell you that time? The truth is..The truth is Yeo Wool-a…”

Kang Chi thought it was Wol Ryeong who kidnapped Yeo Wool. But the truth is, while KAng Chi was telling Mr.Dam about his father, Yeo Wool was brought into the woods by two people. KAng Chi took off his beads and then promised Mr.Dam that whatever happens, he would bring back Yeo Wool. If he failed, he would never come back to pick up the beads.

guga17_001

Yeo Wool was kidnapped by Mr.Jo’s men. That evil guy was upset after being humiliated by Mr.Dam in the incident in front of his place the other day. Mr.Jo ordered his man to kill the most precious thing for Mr.Dam. Yeo Wool was fighting the men with her eyes close. And then when she was stuck, Wol Ryeong came to help her. The rest of Mr.Jo men expected it was KAng Chi who would come to save Yeo Wool, but they were wrong. As they were about to leave, Wol Ryeong was already behind them.

Yeo Wool heard the screams of the men, so she tried to run away. But Wol Ryeong found her easily. Kang Chi came in the right time. Wol Ryeong choke Yeo Wool, he threatned to kill her if Kang Chi wouldn’t give up his will to live as a human. Wol Ryeong told her to shut her mouth, but Yeo Wool spoke even louder. She said if he’s really his father, he shouldn’t let Kang Chi suffered any longer. When Wol Ryeong was about to hurt Yeo Wool, Kang Chi fought him. But the old man beat his son.

“Don’t hurt Yeo Wool.” Wol Ryeong refused to listen. “Don’t hurt Yeo Wool, because she’s mine!” Suddenly Wol Ryeong remembered how he used to have the same feelings with Seo Hwa and even said the same thing when they were threatened. “If you are really my father, you won’t hurt the person belongs to me,” asked Kang Chi. Wol Ryeong went speechless. Then he disappeared.

guga17_002

 

Kang Chi and Yeo Wool had their moments. “The truth is Yeo Wool. You are the most important person for me. Without you, I don’t have any reason.” Then Kang Chi kissed Yeo Wool…aaaah with the blue butterflies around them. And then KAng Chi turned back into human automatically. Yeo Wool watched his face and said, “Kang Chi-ya..” then they continued their kissing.

The Monk sensed there’s someone or something in his library, and he’s right. Wol Ryeong was there, wounded. But it was not the wound that troubled him. It was what Kang Chi had said. The memories of Seo Hwa are all coming back to him.

guga17_004

 

Mr.Jo was summoned by his mysterious lady guest in the morning. The lady kind of appointed Tae Seo as her new trusted man to run the Resident. Mr.Jo complained that the Resident belonged to him, but the lady reminded him that it was not. Mr.Jo pissed off. He was about to confront SEo Hwa, but samurai stepped forward. Mr.Jo left the room without any choice. He started to wonder where his right hand man was.

Yeo Wool and Kang Chi reported to Mr.Dam about what happened to Yeo Wool. But they didn’t share the whole story. They just made sure that the kidnapper was not Wol Ryeong. Then they were fighting, very seriously in front of Mr.Dam and then excused themselves to go back to their rooms. Mr.Dam wondered what happened with the two. Geon also had no idea. The fact was Kang Chi and Yeo Wool was just pretending. It’s just part of their plan.

Tae Seo, through Mr.Choi as his informant, got an information from Mr.Jo’s conversation with Seo Hwa’s translator. He got a sense that what the lady was after was actually not Mr.Jo, but the country. It’s something related to water force in southern island (?). Then Tae Seo reported this matter to Mr.Dam and it soon reached Mr.Lee. After the meeting, Tae Seo was meeting Yeo Wool. He said he had a favor to ask…but not quite sure. He also said that for him, Yeo Wool was someone who was under his responsibility (and he’s obliged for it). Kang Chi saw the scene and when he was about to leave, Geon caught him. He told Kang Chi to give up before he started everything, and he definitely didn’t buy their fighting-acting.

Yeo Wool visited Kang Chi in the kitchen. But Kang Chi was being jealous and Yeo Wool noticed it. Kang Chi told Yeo Wool that the truth was he still had no idea about what he should do to her regarding his feelings. It’s the first time for him. Yeo Wool said it’s the first time for her too, so she’s the same confused as him. But then they had to be ready for the mission that night. Yeo Wool had to trick her training to go out of the house. In the village, Yeo Wool made a scene and flee to change into her “field” uniform. Cheong Jo saw Yeo Wool and then approached her. She asked about Kang Chi to Yeo Wool.

At Mr.Jo’s place that night they were holding an entertainment night. Gisaeng Cheong was part of it. Kang Chi and Yeo Wool were inviting themselves to Geon’s mission sneaking into Mr.Jo’s place. Geon was against the idea, but Kang Chi reminded him that he knew that place way better than anyone. Tae Seo was observing from outside the room. After one performance, Mr.Jo asked his guest to show her face in return he would agree for Tae Seo’s matter. The lady agreed to take off her veil and showed her face: she was someone else.

Kang chi was in disguise as a ninja. He was startled when some ninjas approached him. But Yeo Wool had taught him how to react when he’s meeting any Japanese ninjas. Kang Chi passed this time and went into the room where the ninjas held a meeting. They’re submitting papers to Seo Hwa’s samurai, and those papers are actually parts of a big map of the ocean. Suddenly one of the ninjas noticed that the number of ninjas in the room was more than it should be. They suspect one person was not one of them. The samurai ordered everyone to open their mask. KAng Chi refused to do it. When he was cornered, he took off his beads. After beating everyone, he took the papers and fled. He went into one of the rooms. It’s the room where the real Seo Hwa stayed in the dark. When Kang Chi went in there, she asked who he was in Japanese. KAng Chi slowly turned his head to see the woman…her mother, for the first time.
