Maybe he will find that out and his heart will melt. The thing is I think she aged but he didn't, so that sort of gives off the vibe that they're not getting back together.

I agree. A charming evil person indeed.

Getting back together? That's hard but not impossible, if they find their way to each other again then maybe. In that case, the drama will focus on the parents instead of Kang Chi. Personally, I find nothing wrong with that (because of Wul Ryung) but it wouldn't be fair since the main leads are Kang Chi and Yeo Wool not the parents.

also, remember what the monk said: one of them might die. I don't think any will actually die, but they will definitely be in in danger somehow... I also want Wol ryung to find redemption and Kang Chi to stay the haIf half he is.

lol I know, right? I didn't want Wol Ryung to become human either! It's just a waste. I would prefer living as a gumiho. I could have great abilities and plus I could live for a loong long time. It's just stupid.

Well, I would assume it is because Wol Ryung truly loved Yoon Seo Hwa and didn't want to watch her die while he lived for god knows how long, don't recall how long he had been living for, but I'm pretty sure it was long enough to make the right decision.

Kang Chi on the other hand has always lived as a human, so being a gumiho is just something he hates for obvious reasons, despite the awesome super powers, I'm pretty sure anyone would freak the f*** out if they suddenly turned into a beast, even more so when he can't fully control himself and scares off his loved ones.

Of course I could be over-analysing the facts and the actual truth is probably something like:

"I'm the writer, I do what I want! I want them to want to turn human!"

Well I though I was the only wishing that they did not obsess so much about becoming human. I got your point about him loving his wife but why can't she wish for becoming a Gumiho if there is a way to become human I sure there's a way to become a full Gumiho.

@DiaNine the all premise of calling them Beast or monster is just from small minded human point of view I doubt Gumiho go around thinking their are monsters and all such. So I think that Kang Chi should learn to appreciate both of his heritage, because if we all start to go on a deep analysis of the message that the Gu Family Book want to send , we can all start by saying that there are saying well if you are different then you are evil.

And if you are mixed well you should strive to become fully this or fully that. But I say "no" diversity is richness. And I think that people who are mixed should appreciate and learn to fully accept the both part that make them them.

Totally agree, it's absurd everyone know they're much better the way they are.

I agree being a Gumiho is much better, and he'd be strong enough to protect the ones he loves, but sadly they will age and die off and he won't. It's just lonely overall. Plus you have the "haters" (yes even back then) who try to use his powers against him, or just the general haters who treat him like a complete monster. It's a hard life... Being different always is, this is a minority on a whole other scale!
