Gu Family Book Episode 7 Recap

Sad cello music plays. Yeo Wool comes on the scene of the men attacking Kang Chi, but stops from intervening because of the blue lights. We hear her thoughts: “I didn’t want to believe it.” And we drift back to the peach tree under the crescent moon. So Jung telling her that one of them would die. “I thought I could ignore it. But now…”

Kang Chi begins to transform into a gumiho. Yeo Wool shivers with fear. “Choi Kang Chi, what kind of monster are you?” As Kang Chi attacks, she runs away, terrified. When she comes across Gon, she’s so frightened that she doesn’t recognize him and tries to escape from his grasp. He tries to figure out if something is wrong and she says that something is very wrong, terribly wrong. Where has he been all this time? There’s a horrific howl which frightens her more.

Kang Chi kills the last guard, the man who cut the bracelet from his wrist. Thankfully he didn’t rip out any hearts. He staggers away, trying to get to Chung Jo, but collapses as rain begins to fall. Is it natural rain or gumiho rain?

Chung Jo arrives at the gisaeng house. Madame Soo Ryun’s gisaeng house. When she hears they have a new girl, the daughter of Park Moo Sol, it’s almost as if she dreads what she’s about to do. Chung Jo is outside, refusing to go in, that she’d rather die than become a giseang. Soo Ryun exits the house and asks her what other choice does she, the daughter of a traitor, have? Just like Seo Hwa, she pleads her father’s innocence, but Soo Ryun says that it has nothing to do with her. When Chung Jo begs her to kill her, that she would die, Soo Ryun remembers Seo Hwa uncomfortably. There is a pause, where there’s a chance she won’t do what we know is coming.

But things haven’t changed. She tells Oh Mom to have Chung Jo tied to the Tree of Shame. Oh Mom is confused about this order, like it hasn’t been done since Seo Hwa’s death. They rip off her clothes and tie her to the tree. Soo Ryun tells her to give up, because it will be less painful the sooner she does. Again, this is just her fate.

As Soo Ryun turns to leave, Chung Jo calls her trash. Her servants can’t believe it and Soo Ryun is visibly (for her, at least) bothered by this name. Soo Ryun tells her that her father’s name will no longer protect her and that now she has to look after herself or she won’t survive. You can tell that Soo Ryun hates that she has to break another of Kwan Woong’s victims. As they leave her outside, she protests a lot more and a lot more loudly than Seo Hwa did.

Inside, the man servant, Jang Soo, asks Oh Mom why the tree is being used again, since it hasn’t been since Seo Hwa, 20 years ago, that it was last used. Hmmm… Her motivations for her actions are even murkier than before. Even back then, there were times where it seemed like she did things that she didn’t want to, as if to protect her house, her girls, and not just herself. The legacy of Seo Hwa leads me to believe that there’s more to her story. Could she once have been a nobleman’s daughter, too? Maybe a victim of Kwan Woong?

Chung Jo weeps and calls for her father. Rain begins to fall, as if the failure of Kang Chi to rescue her has caused it to pour down.

So Jung walks through the rain and finds the dead men, the broken bracelet.

Yeo Wool has returned to her father and reported what happened. Pyung Joon clarifies that she’s sure he wasn’t human. She’s still a little shaken. Gon reports that he checked the corpses and they were ripped open by claws. Pyung Joon remembers and realizes that this is the child of Wol Ryung and Seo Hwa and wonders how he ended up with Moo Sol. Gon wants to take care of this problem. Yeo Wool’s reaction shows that even though he’s become this monster, her heart hasn’t truly changed toward him. Pyung Joon considers what to do.

Then there is another voice, asking why they don’t bring Kang Chi in. Lee Soon Shin sits at the head of the table, listening to the whole discussion. I love that he is there, that they are working together, that Moo Sol would be part of a conversation like this, if he were still alive. Especially because Kang Chi was Moo Sol’s son, they should capture him and decide what to do afterwards.

Yeo Wool eagerly agrees with Soon Shin’s recommendation. Gon protests about the danger Kang Chi poses to Pyung Jo and his students, if Kang Chi goes berserk again. Yeo Wool reminds them that he was part of Moo Sol’s household, that he was precious to Moo Sol. That taking a life is no small thing.

Pyung Joon orders her to leave. Gon follows her out into the rain. Yeo Wool can’t believe that Gon can be so callous. Even when Gon says that Kang Chi is no longer a man, Yeo Wool still wants to believe the best. Gon says his only concern is for the school and for her. She doesn’t notice that he doesn’t say her dad or Soon Shin, that he’s saying he likes her in his unspoken way. She misunderstands and interprets this to mean that duty and responsibility have always been the only things that he understands, following her father’s orders. She calls him a cold, heartless wall. The slight flicker across his face shows that this cuts him deep, almost as if he wants to grab her and scream, ‘I’m not! I’m in love with you!’ Instead he asks her if she likes Kang Chi *that* much. She still says that it’s just because he’s saved her life, but neither of them believe that.

Entering her room, Yeo Wool sinks to the floor and wonders what she’s going to do next.

Pyung Joon tells Soon Shin about his past with Wol Ryung, calling him a demon. Later he heard about their child, which he now believes to be Kang Chi. Pyung Joon is right is thinking that if Kwan Woong hears of Kang Chi’s abilities, that he will hunt Kang Chi down. Soon Shin wonders if that might not be the best thing for everyone, since they’ve never faced something like this before. I laughed when he suggested the Kwan Woong might be able to get Kang Chi to ally with him, because that will *never* happen. Kang Chi wants Kwan Woong dead. They decide to find Kang Chi. But if he truly is dangerous, Soon Shin says he will kill him, himself.

The next morning Gon goes to get Yeo Wool from her room. She is not there. You can almost hear him say ‘oh, crap,’ in his head.

Kang Chi wakes up, in pain all over. He remembers transforming, the slaughter, and runs/stumbles back to where the bodies were. They’re gone. Did he just dream it? So Jung appears.

The captain is reporting to Kwan Woong that the men they sent after Kang Chi and Tae Seo have disappeared. Kwan Woong finds this interesting, that they could disappear and take six of his men with them.

Apparently, So Jung has coldly told Kang Chi about who his father is. It bothers me that Kang Chi calls him a demon. He wasn’t a demon. Demons are evil. He was a gumiho, a guardian of the forest. He tells So Jung that his story is ridiculous. Kang Chi doesn’t want to believe that he’s not totally human.

So Jung asks him if he can’t feel his entire body changing. Apparently Kang Chi, if he had just lasted until his 20th birthday without changing, COULD HAVE LIVED THAT WAY FOREVER and never become part gumiho. What? What?!!! Are you kidding me?!!! He couldn’t have said something sooner, been less mysterious sooner? Conked Kang Chi on the head and dragged him to the Garden of the Moon when things started getting dicey so that there wasn’t a chance that he might transform? I mean, he’s knocked Kang Chi out before. He couldn’t have been a bit more specific when he warned him about leaving before sundown? Or just tied him up after he had actually brought him to the Garden of the Moon, so that he wouldn’t lead and possibly lose the dampening bracelet and then transform?!!! I seriously don’t like this guy right now.

But wait, how does he know that Kang Chi would have stayed human? Is this possibly what happened to So Jung? Is that why he knew another gumiho, because they were of like backgrounds?

So Jung wants Kang Chi to stay at the Garden of the Moon until he’s learned to control his power. He adds that he doesn’t want innocents to suffer because of Kang Chi. Wouldn’t it ultimately be because of you, So Jung, since you didn’t do what you needed to do? But there again is that question of fate. Although how does the issue of choices apply here, since Kang Chi was never given enough information to make a choice?

Kang Chi’s anger flares. His eyes glow green and his hands start to change. Shocked, he demands So Jung change him back. Hey, I hold him responsible for your situation, too, Kang Chi. So Jung just tells him that this is his true face now. Kang Chi refuses to believe that he is fated to be this thing. Desperately he grabs some of the bracelet’s beads and asks if they are enough to change him back. His absolute terror and desperation rip at my heart for him. Stupid monk!

At least his pleading seems to affect So Jung’s stoic cold. His eyes are red and his voice becomes gentler. Kang Chi drops to his knees before So Jung, absolutely distraught over never being able to go back to any of his family, to Chung Jo. Grabbing So Jung’s robe, he pleads. He weeps. So Jung finally does too.

Yeo Wool has seen everything. She, too, falls to her knees, not wanting to accept the truth about what has happened to Kang Chi.

Chung Jo is still tied to the Tree of Shame. Even as the villagers stare, she silently calls for Kang Chi. Kang Chi’s mind is only on her, of how he can’t save her. Chung Jo can’t understand why no one is coming for her.

Finally, Soo Ryun brings her inside, three days later, near death. When Chung Jo wakes, Oh Mom has brought her some porridge. She eagerly begins to devour it (although she sits up a little too quickly for me to feel like it’s realistic). Oh Mom tells her she should slow down. Soo Ryun adds, “so you want to live after all.” Chung Jo realizes she is there and puts down her spoon. Soo Ryun tells her it’s either her pride or back to the tree. Even though her expression doesn’t change, you can tell that Soo Ryun wants her to choose to submit, so that she doesn’t have to torture her any more. When Chung Jo decides to eat, Soo Ryun almost looks like she wants to cry. Chung Jo does silently cry as she eats her porridge. Soo Ryun resolutely stands and tells Oh Mom to clean her up and get her some new clothes.

Yeo Wool is outside the cave where Kang Chi is. So Jung has brought him something to eat. He doesn’t want to. He hasn’t for three days. She makes a decision, walks up and slaps him on the back of the head. I *knew* she would be able to get past the gumiho! Kang Chi looks up, angry, but then stops when he sees that it’s her. They stare at each other for a moment and then he asks her how she found them? She basically tells him he is stupid for wasting perfectly good food by starving himself. He’s supposed to say ‘thank you.’ She shoves the food in his direction, telling him to eat.

Kang Chi asks how she ended up there and she tells him she followed them. He can’t understand how she’s not freaked out by what’s happened. Even though she says she is, she adds that he’s always creeped her out, so nothing’s changed. So what if his eyes have changed; is that any reason to clam up like an oyster? He’s being stupid.

She tries to get him to eat again. He’s still feeling sorry for himself. She smacks him harder on the head and asks him what kind of man he is, to just hide like a baby over something so small. Kang Chi can’t understand how she’s not getting how horrible it all is. He’s a monster now!

At least he’s alive, because she thought for sure he was dead. But he isn’t. He still doesn’t want to let go of the fact that he’s now a monster! She tells him he’s throwing himself a pity party, when now he’s a demigod who can live for hundreds of years. She so frustrates him. The situation frustrates him. Every word he says about how awful it is, she agrees with him, but she tells him that he’s still Choi Kang Chi. Regardless of his outsides, he’s still the same inside.

Kang Chi isn’t so sure. He doesn’t remember anything from the transformation, only the pain of the pain of the transformation, the ways that he’s now connected to all the nature around him. “Am I still me? Or am I a monster?” She tells him he’s still him, since monsters aren’t so whiny. I love her. So much better for him that Chung Jo. She will fight her fate where Chung Jo was ready to suffer with acceptance.

For a moment, Kang Chi’s eyes return to brown. So Jung is astonished. It’s not supposed to happen. But as he doubts himself, they return to green and he turns away, defeated, sitting with his back to her. She wants to put her hand on his shoulder and comfort him, but doesn’t. As she just stands there, So Jung remembers his conversation with Yeo Wool and wonders if Kang Chi is really the one she’s destined to love.

Kwan Woong has triumphantly taken over Century House. The servants can’t believe it, that the guy that killed Lord Park is now standing in front of them. The magistrate announces that Kwan Woong is now the master of the house and everyone will serve him. They reluctantly agree.

Kwan Woong has Lady Yoon and the other members of her entourage brought in. They are now his slaves. He ‘graciously’ has saved them from being shipped off to the frontier. Lady Yoon only glares at him and asks him how long he can keep up this façade? Everyone is stunned at her defiance. She tells him that he may call himself Century House’s lord, but he will never be its master. The blood of her family will curse him again and again. She calls down curses on him, and when he tells her to stops, she tells him that the blood of innocents will never be enough to scrub clean his own filth. As Kwan Woong begins to shake with anger, she tells him that no matter how much power he amasses, his blood will *always* be common. A common gutter rat. Bam! The ultimate slam!

Kwan Woong grabs a sword and holds it to her throat, ordering her to stop. She grabs it and defiantly impales herself. With her last breath, she declares that this place will be Kwan Woong’s grave. Kwan Woong pulls out the sword and slashes her across the chest. All the servants react with horror and uproar. Kwan Woong commands silence and tells them whoever speaks next will be dead. As Kwan Woong stalks away, her servants surround her and mourn over her impending death. She thinks of Tae Seo, who lays somewhere, still unconscious. Chung Jo who now knows what suffering in resignation really means. I wish she would have thought of Kang Chi before she died, but she doesn’t. The servants, particularly Choi Ma Reum and Gob Dan, begin to scream their grief. All of them cannot believe that their lady is now dead, too.

Kwan Woong surveys his new office. A screen spans the back wall. The magistrate showers him with platitudes. Kwan Woong is calmly pondering Lady Yoon’s last words. He wonders if the House holds any more secrets. While the magistrate protests, we know and the camera pans to show Moo Sol’s store house still full of money.

Lee Soon Shin stares at the plans for his battleships, considering how to proceed.

Back at the Garden of the Moon. A horrific, baleful scream. Yeo Wool begins to rush towards the sound when So Jung tells her to relax. He tells her that Kang Chi is in the process of battling between the monster and man inside him. She wants to go help, but he tells her that this is a battle that Kang Chi must fight alone. She worries that he might get hurt and So Jung tells her that if he does, that it’s his fate to do so. It’s his *choice* to accept or reject who he is. This man really irks me.

Yeo Wool asks So Jung how much he knows about fate. He responds that he knows enough to say that the two of them aren’t meant to be. So he knows she’s a she. She protests that he already loves someone, but So Jung says that Kang Chi doesn’t know the difference between love and pity. What is that supposed to mean? All his feelings for Chung Jo were because he felt sorry for her? What kind of crap is that? So Jung tells her that he has to face his fate on his own.

Kang Chi writhes in pain as he fights the beast inside him. He remembers Moo Sol’s death, Chung Jo’s fear, Kwan Woong’s gloating. He begs for someone to help him and he hears Yeo Wool tell him to stay with them, that he’s Choi Kang Chi. It almost works, but he remembers Chung Jo’s pleading and Kwan Woong’s victorious face. He vows to kill them all and lets out a monstrous yell.

So Jung stands, alarmed and tell Yeo Wool to leave, because she might be in danger. Won’t he be in danger, too? Again, is he maybe part gumiho? She doesn’t want to, but So Jung says he may have lost his fight. After another monstrous roar, Yeo Wool grabs her bow and quiver and runs away.

Gon stands before Pyung Joon and apologizes that he has no news. They are worried where she is, since it’s been three days. Gon feels personally responsible. Yeo Wool stumbles in. Gon rushes to her side (but doesn’t touch her) and asks if she is hurt. She pants out, “help.” She tells her father that Kang Chi is dangerous and needs to be stopped. Gon’s face reads that he can’t believe that she went to Kang Chi and has been with him all this time. Pyung Joon sighs, as if regretting what he will have to do.

So Jung blocks Kang Chi’s path with his staff. Kang Chi, with a monstrous, evil voice, commands him to step aside. He’s planning on killing everyone that hurt the Park family. Isn’t it interesting that their love for someone else is what has brought out the monster in both Kang Chi and Wol Ryung?

So Jung tells him that his blood lust is from 20 years of pent up rage from his ‘demon’ side, that it’s to be expected, but resisted. If he gives in, it will only lead to more and more blood, until Kang Chi forgets who he is. Apparently So Jung used to battle with Wol Ryung like this at times, too, but this only enrages Kang Chi more that he is able to throw the staff aside. He begs Kang Chi to pull himself together, but Kang Chi is gone, bent on his revenge.

Chung Jo has completed her training and is now ready for her first patron. Sadly, slowly, she resolutely is lead towards her fate. It’s that sicko Kwan Woong. I want to vomit.

Kang Chi has made it back to town. Gon steps into his path and tells him he’s changed for the worse. It’s good that he’s pulling at their rivalry to try to subdue Kang Chi. Kang Chi hisses that he’s in no mood and for Gon to step aside. Gon still plucks at the rivalry, adding that orders are orders. Is that a slight jab at Yeo Wool, too?

As Kang Chi walks past him, he pulls out his blade and swipes, missing Kang Chi’s claws. He gets Kang Chi’s arm in the process and momentarily feels like he has the upper hand, until he sees the wound heal over in seconds. As they battle, So Jung approaches, clutching another bracelet. Gon’s men are able to lasso Kang Chi’s arms, but he is able to quickly break free.

As Kang Chi is about to strike Gon with a deadly blow, So Jung yells his name and hurtles the bracelet towards Kang Chi’s wrist. It wraps itself around his wrist and calms the beast within. As he reverts to normal, Gon adds in one more punch to knock him to the ground. Kang Chi goes to remove the bracelet but So Jung tells him if he removes it, he will never be Kang Chi again. It’s his choice whether he will stay human. It’s all So Jung can do for him.

Kang Chi struggles for a moment and then the beast leaves and he is just Kang Chi, brown eyes and all. Both So Jung and Gon are relieved. So Jung tells Gon that everything is okay now. Kang Chi seems relieved as well. Yeo Wool approaches to stand beside him and you can tell that this means something to him. Pyung Joon is also there and we wonder what he is going to do.

Soo Ryun learns that Wol Sun has taken Chung Jo to Kwan Woong. She is not happy.

Wol Sun tells Chung Jo to enter and pay her respects. Chung Jo stands motionless. Kwan Woong tells Wol Sun to leave her, that she’s tasty as she is. He is so slimy!!! I have clenched my fists in true k-drama style. I want to vomit as he compares what he will do to her as to savoring a fine wine. Oh, wait, I think I did throw up a little in my mouth.

Chung Jo turns to Wol Sun and says that she is going to her room. Wol Sun slaps her for not knowing her place. Kwan Woong is surprised, but only because it might damage his merchandise and his fun. Chung Jo can’t believe this woman has slapped her and Wol Sun snides that she’s the low woman in the gisaeng hierarchy. As she rails about Chung Jo daring to look her in the eye and not knowing her place, I wonder if it’s the pot calling the kettle black. After all, *she* isn’t the mistress of the House, Soo Ryun is.

Soo Ryun has arrived and intervenes. She rebukes Wol Sun but Kwan Woong claims that Chung Jo ‘got lost.’ The amount of blatant lies that come out of his mouth. And people just accept them. Soo Ryun orders Oh Mom to take Chung Jo back to her room. She turns to Kwan Woong and apologizes for the scene. He tells her that her looks are catching up with her age. Wol Sun smirks at this insult, almost as if he was her Oppa. He pretends that he doesn’t know exactly who Chung Jo is, but that she reminds him of someone, Seo Hwa. Soo Ryun shouldn’t make the same mistake twice. What mistake is that? To let him destroy them like he wishes? To deny him his ‘pleasure’? My skin is crawling.

Chung Jo angrily returns to her room, fists clenched. I wonder what she’s thinking.

Kang Chi is now bound with ropes. Gon kicks his leg so that he will kneel. Kang Chi wants to know why he’s being treated like a criminal. Yeo Wool tells him she wants to help him but he says he doesn’t need her help. Oh, but you do, Kang Chi. Gon tells her that he’s not worth her efforts. Pyung Joon orders Gon to take Kang Chi to the government office. Yeo Wool can’t understand how this is helping, since Kwan Woong controls that office, but Pyung Joon says that it is according to Soon Shin’s orders.

Soon Shin waits for Kang Chi’s arrival. What is he thinking? Drums as the villagers are called to the magistrate’s house. Kang Chi kneels bound before him. The villagers are not at rest.

The magistrate asks Kang Chi if he knows what he’s accused of. Kang Chi doesn’t and wants to hear. Kwan Woong sits behind the screen presiding over everything. The magistrate declares that he is insolent but when he has to tell Kang Chi the charges, he chokes on saying that Kang Chi is Moo Sol’s murderer. Add to it helping Tae Seo to escape and wounding guards, these all deserve dismemberment. Kwan Woong smirks to himself over Kang Chi’s humiliation. But Kang Chi doesn’t cooperate. Instead, while agreeing to his fate, he declares that someone else needs to die first: the man who framed Park Moo Sol and destroyed his family so that he could grab Century House for himself.

Kwan Woong stops fanning himself. Everyone knows who he is talking about. The magistrate can’t believe what he is saying and stares at him with horror. Kang Chi says that as long as they kill Kwan Woong first, he’ll happily submit to their punishment. I love him, his confidence. Because he is so insolent, the magistrate orders him executed immediately, by beheading. Yeo Wool wants to intervene, but Gon stops her.

Kwan Woong emerges, asking Kang Chi if he values something more than his own life. Kang Chi jumps to his feet, wanting to kill Kwan Woong. The soldiers hold him back. This guy. So smug in his own power. I hate him! Kwan Woong approaches Kang Chi and asks Kang Chi what it is. Kang Chi replies that it’s his will to kill him. Murder blazes in Kang Chi’s eyes. Kwan Woong asks if it’s something else and pokes the bracelet.

Kwan Woong tells Kang Chi that he will spare his life if he decides to (sell his soul and) come work for him. It will get him position and wealth. Like that’s ever appealed to Kang Chi. Kang Chi tells Kwan Woong to shove it. Kwan Woong orders the execution to be carried out.

Kang Chi wrestles with taking the bracelet off and is about to when a voice cries, “Halt!” It is Soon Shin. Yeo Wool is *glad* to see him. Kwan Woong is aghast that someone is defying his will and asks who Soon Shin is. He identifies himself: Commander of the Cholla Garrisons. Everyone is impressed. Except for Kwan Woong who looks irked that he’s not going to get his way.

The magistrate quickly scurries forward and asks what the Commander is doing there. Soon Shin replies that they’ve arrested one of his men, so he came. Victorious music plays as Soon Shin basically says ‘stuff it,’ ‘this is my guy and you ain’t touchin’ him!’ Kang Chi doesn’t know how to react, the magistrate is quaking in his boots and Kwan Woong is incredulous that he has been out maneuvered.

Soon Shin turns to Kang Chi and tells him that he’s come for him. Oh, it’s another father figure! My heart is warmed. Yeo Wool does a happy dance in her head and Gon is a little irritated that Kang Chi is going to be sticking around.

Thoughts


Yay, Yeo Wool is not going to be deterred in her love for Kang Chi simply because he’s part gumiho! I knew she was stronger stuff than Seo Hwa! It makes me hopeful for Kang Chi’s future and his salvation. I still don’t see how it’s going to get from here to him/them declaring his/their love, but it seems more likely to happen. In fact, I have a little warm spot in my heart hoping for that turn of events.

Again, love that I am fully invested in these characters, although I find Chung Jo annoying. Or maybe it’s just the actress playing her. How she uses her eyebrows, I just don’t know.

Yay, there was a plan! Excited that Soon Shin has claimed Kang Chi, especially since he was so warm to him, asking him how he’d been and that he’d come to get him. It reminds me of Moo Sol, or a daddy finding his child fallen down and lifting him up in his arms and carrying him to safety. Again, I may be reading into it, but that’s how it felt today, especially with Soon Shin’s expression.

I hope this means that Kang Chi will learn some sword fighting, rather than him just being a brawler. I know he’s strong, but he needs to have some finesse, too. Will Yeo Wool be his instructor? Or maybe Gon? Now that would be fun! Them glowering at each other across the dinner table…

So the ten days that Kang Chi needed to wait, that was so that he could just be human and not waken the gumiho within. I so want to slap So Jung like Yeo Wool smacked Kang Chi the second time! I still can’t believe that he didn’t tell at least someone, so that they could help Kang Chi stop himself, or that he didn’t kidnap Kang Chi and hold him hostage for those last ten days, especially since something bad happened last time with Kang Chi’s dad WITH TEN DAYS LEFT. And if So Jung can see the future, which it seems like he can with his pronouncements, why didn’t he do more to try to help Kang Chi avoid his father’s fate.

Which brings me to the reconstituted bracelet. Does this mean that he has to wear the bracelet forever? For the next 20 years? Until he gets a hold of his powers and masters the beast within? How does he know that it won’t get lopped off again by accident? Or fall off like it did when Kang Chi was a baby? Is Kang Chi going to eventually need the Book of Gu to free himself? And is it going to be the same test to get the book to appear?

And what about Yeo Wool? You can definitely see her really starting to fall for him, even if she’s in denial. Every reaction shows that she’s by his side, even if it’s just in spirit if not in body. I love that she’s a soldier but also that she seems to be what’s going to help Kang Chi through this. And there aren’t any pesky lies between them, so the betrayal aspect isn’t there (yet). If things work out with her, will Kang Chi still need the bracelet, since she was able to pull him back through her belief in him alone?

I’m glad that it seems that Kang Chi will end up with someone like Yeo Wool instead of someone like Chung Jo. Chung Jo doesn’t have enough fight to match Kang Chi; she doesn’t speak her mind or value her will enough.

My mind wonders what new depths of depravity that Kwan Woong is going to sink to? And how is Soon Shin going to get to that gold? So Kwan Woong’s traitorous plot can be defeated? And how are both Yoon Ki Soo and Park Moo Sol going to be redeemed? Will Kang Chi end up with Yoon Ki Soo’s wrongly-seized property, once Kwan Woong’s treachery is exposed, since it technically is his inheritance, or would be if their family had remain intact?

I just now noticed that Kang Chi’s grandfather and mother share the same last name with Tae Seo’s mother, the Lady Yoon. Is this going to mean something later? Will Kang Chi and Tae Seo turn out to be cousins? Is that what So Jung meant by pity? Was Lady Yoon so hard because of what happened to the rest of her family?

Dang if I didn’t like Lady Yoon by the end. I love that she’s cursed Kwan Woong and that she defiantly determined her own fate, rather than leaving it to the whim of the man who murdered her husband and destroyed her family.

I’m curious to discover Soo Ryun’s back story and what her real motives are. She’s good at giving her customers exactly what they need, but that doesn’t mean that she likes it or them. I want to see how Seo Hwa affected her.

I also want to see Kwan Woong to begin to be haunted by the ghost of Seo Hwa, since he’s repeated his past sins. It should have woken the sleeping phantom. And when is Wol Ryung going to make his return appearance?
