Spoiler in white; (WARNING DO NOT READ UNLESS YOU HAVE WATCHED THE LAST EPISODE)
... Where do I even begin. This drama was magical (pun intended) since the very first episode. I have a really short attention span so I usually get bored in the middle of dramas, ESPECIALLY when they're historical and have political mumbo jumbo going on. Thankfully, this wasn't the case for Gu Family Book. It had a good blend of everything. I was extremely happy to see that the fantasy part of it wasn't super overdone. It was obviously a big theme, but it wasn't something cheesy that took away from the drama, it was ... perfect. I will forever cherish this drama. The actors and producers did an AMAZING job. I was hesitant as I haven't really seen Suzy in anything before, but I think she did a wonderful job, as did Seung Gi (OBVIOUSLY) and the supporting cast. The bad guy was SO GOOD at being bad. 10/10 performance.
The only thing I have to complain about is the ending. I know some people loved it and some people hated it. I just finished the episode literally 5 minutes ago, and I don't know what to say. The ending was so messed up. Actually, the whole last episode was messed up. Although the whole drama had its emotional rollercoasters, the last episode killed me.
I really don't agree with the way they killed Yeo Wool. WHY.WHY.WHY. I actually had to stop watching because I wouldn't stop crying. I was about to give up and not finish it, which is something I RARELY do. I knew 100% that they were going to do that future crapola. I just knew it. I agree with the people who say it's "creative". Sure, for a mediocre drama it would have been CREATIVE, and COOL, or maybe even WELL THOUGHT OUT, but THIS WAS NOT SOME MEDIOCRE DRAMA; this is GU FAMILY BOOK. It didn't do the drama justice at all.
The main problem I have with the whole reincarnation thing is that it's not the same Yeo Wool. It's not the same situation. Not the same beginning for them. She doesn't remember all that they went through. She doesn't remember the love that they once shared. Sure, she can fall in love with him again, but will it be the same?? I THINK NOT.
Ufff. I don't even know. I am having a really hard time writing something that makes sense, but who can blame me, the ending of that was pretty nonsensical. It was, how do you say, disappointing and poopie.
I would have given the drama 10/10 but the ending killed it for me.
END OF RANT.
