This drama is almost 10 years old but historical things don't change so its fine. I first thought the drama would be about the journey of Gumiho’s finding The Gu Family Book but he only got the purpose and gives up on finding the book.

The drama is based on an orphan gumiho who has lived between humans and as human. But once the villain appears he recognizes himself, learns to control his strengths, falls in love, and wants to become human and spend his life with his lover. To become human he has to pray for 100 days and then find GU FAMILY BOOK. But a whole lot of political plot is built using the Japanese invasion. I enjoyed the drama that I forgot there is a book to be found. And I am a whole lot disappointed at the end of the drama cause there was not a single attempt of finding GU FAMILY BOOK. Both the father and son failed to take an attempt to find the book. I felt like a fool at the end of the drama for not seeing it. Although the end was satisfactory it wasn’t for me.

I think the writers should have named it just GU FAMILY, cause that sums up the story. There is gumiho who comes to acknowledge his identity and use his powers for good, falls in love, and wants to become human. Also, there is a demon who had a more heartbreaking love story.

The acting was awesome tbh. Kang Chi aka Lee Seung gi was awesome as gumiho. He never disappoints with his acting chops.
Suzy as Yeo Wol playing a tomboy girl, swinging swords with perfection was eye pleasing.
Choi Jin Hyuk had a small role but he got a more impactful short story and guess what I wanted more of CJH.

I wasn’t impressed by the ending so there is no rewatch for me.

If you want to watch this drama don’t connect it with a title which I did and then you will be able to enjoy it more. The story and chemistry of the leads are superb.
