I really liked the first 4 episodes, Suzy's acting is good, the story is good:) One thing what annoys me is this "I will count to three - HANA..."
I'm completely addicted to this drama. Honestly it's killing me. Now I have to wait until next Monday... If only I could find a way to watch it live on MBC... They always have exceptionnal cliffhangers...
I like the drama but I am totally hating Suzy's acting, I tried to tolerate it but she's one expression actress and I hate those actors the most!
Oh yay so the English music does go away? Thank goodness. That was getting old. :/
yup the english song havent appear yet lol and i'm with the ppl that like suzy. I think she doing a good job, she might seem emotionless sometimes but i think that is apart of the character :x
i think it's funny that Suzy's getting so many bad reviews. i dont see a huge difference b/w her and some of the most celebrated actresses in korean drama. kim tae hee for example could not (or maybe she simply chooses not to) act her way out of a wet paper bag with a map and a flashlight. considering that suzy doesnt have a lot of experience and that her past roles were'nt exactly the kind of roles that teach you alot about the craft, i think she's doing just fine. now stir in the fact that alot of female roles in korean drama dont have a lot of depth to begin with... well you get the idea. even though the idea of her character in Gu family book is great, thus far her character isnt even really about HER, but rather the men in her life. exactly how real and how compelling is a young actress with little experience supposed to make a character that is written in such a way that she does not so much as breath with out it directly relating to Kon, Kang Chi or her father?

I didn't watch any drama with Kim Tae Hee but I don't think this is a question of comparing actresses.

In the past episodes, her pronunciation and tone were bad, her face was emotionless even in scenes with a lot of tension or relevance, I agree with the "plain character" factor in some degree but that is not an excuse that explain her acting in all the scenes, For example:

spoiler

like the scene where she sees Kang Chi and Cheong Jo, the death of Cheong Jo's father or when Kang Chi saves her by injuring himself.


If she lacks experience they should had other lead actress with a proper level of acting. But I can't change the situation, so I hope she can do better in the next episodes ( Han Ga In did that in some scenes of the moon that embraces the sun so imposible is nothing)
Right now, in Seoul, Gu Family Book episode 7 had started...
I'm just saying because I'm frustrated... HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO SUB EPISODE 8!?
I seriously can't watch it without subs but I seriously can't wait anymore :[

I think this drama is taking good turns ever since ep 6, I am liking the events more than before.
i'm just a little confused about something has Kang chi realized that Youl is a girl yet?

I don't think so, but I'm not entirely sure.
In my opinion Kang Chi seems a little too chummy with Yeoul to actually know she is a girl.
So I finally started this drama, only two episodes and I can say that I hate Seo Hwa, poor Wul Ryung :(
