Kim Tae Hee's latest stills showing her exquisite smooth lines (she's in the bath tub & getting bathed).
I wonder what happen here. Why is she in the tub? Is she undergoing a "royal" training? Or is she's pressured to clean herself up completely before she can see the King? Her facial expression shows that she's not "that" happy to be there.
Monday, please come quicker! And hopefully Jae Hee aka Chi Soo will finally make his first appearance.
Answering the love call from the drama's representative, the talented brother & sister Akdong Musician (the winner of K-Pop Star 2) composed and sang the OST for the latest political rom-com All about My Romance. The OST was released at noon today. I love love it! Their distinct unique voices blend well with the cheerful tone of this drama and I believe this OST will become another hit song for them.
Check out the MV featuring Akdong Musician & Lee Hyun Woo. Kyeopta ^_^

Though I close my eyes, I can see you because the wind tells me
Your scent softly lingers around the steps you took before
Now…
Though I miss you, I smile
Because at the tip of my hands – no, throughout my heart,
Your lingering touch makes me live
I want to see you even if it’s in my dreams so I call out to you
Where are you? Do you even know of me?
All day, I call and call out to you
Can’t you hear it? This painful love
I send my heart along with the wind
I am by your side and I am waiting
Only for you
Things you can’t control
Yes, love is like that too
I fell down so many times
The scars don’t have time to heal
I want to see you even if it’s in my dreams so I call out to you
Where are you? Do you even know of me?
All day, I call and call out to you
Your voice lingers around me
I miss you, I miss you, your breath, those memories
They make me breathe
Again today, I live for love
Even if it’s in my dreams, if only we can be together
Under the same sky, just once more
If only we can be happy
I have nothing more to ask, even if it’s in my dreams
Can’t you hear it? This painful love
I send my heart along with the wind
I am by your side and I am waiting
Forever

With all the news about Baek Ji Young singing the latest OST for this drama, I was pleasantly surprised when I checked Melon music site at noon today and saw that Lee Ji Young (Big Mama) sang the newest Gu Family Book's OST.
I first heard this OST (instrumental music only) during GFB's press conference (GFB's 5 minute highlight video). Pop-rock OST in a sageuk drama? Why not? =)

Kim Tae Woo is back in the OST world and this time he's singing a lovely ballad song for God of the Workplace. The rock guitar sound with the string arrangement truly make the song stands out. The song is available on Melon and other Korean music sites.
The official character stills of the upcoming thriller sageuk, Mandate of Heaven. All these stills below are pretty simple; Kim Yu Bin's cutie smile saves the day =)
Kang Chi, the Beginning (Gu Family Book) started with heart-wrenching love story of Choi Kang Chi's (Lee Seung Gi) (the hero) parents, guardian of Mt Jiri Wol Ryung (Choi Jin Hyuk) & Seo Hwa (Lee Yoon Hee). A forbidden love between a gumiho and a human who run away to the mountain as she didn't want to become a gisaeng & surrendered her virginity to the man (Jo Gwan Woong) who killed her own father.
A smitten gumiho who saved a run-away slave; gave her a glimmering hope (although he had to lie to her that her brother & sister-like maid are safe), joy, love and warmth. This woman made his heart fluttered. For the last 1000 years, no one ever touched his heart like she did.
*His innocent smile, his pure heart, he gave his all to a woman he really loved*
*The first kiss*
*Their beautiful wedding*
*Their first night, I really loved this scene. Wol Ryung lovingly kissed Seo Hwa's tattoo - a gesture that he loved her although she's a run-away slave*
He decided to become a human by following these 3 rules:
1. He doesn't kill anyone
2. He will always help anyone who ask for help
3. He will never show his power (gumiho power) and his gumiho power to anyone
If he obeys all three rules above for 100 days, he will discover the sacred Gu Family Book (no-one ever saw this book before, simply because no-one has successfully completed these rules).
If he fails, there may be a chance he'll turn into a demon for the next thousand years. But if the woman really loves him, although he fails, he will not turn into a demon. The catch: he has to stab the heart of the woman who really loves him with the dagger. Gosh...
Wol Ryung gave his all to Seo Hwa. But, he lied to her. He never told her that he's a gumiho. He lied that her brother & sister-like maid are safe. Lies can make / break any relationship. Unfortunately, this drama decided to break Wol Ryung & Seo Hwa's marriage and broke the viewers' heart!
Wol Ryung only had few more days before he completed his 100 days; but evil Jo Gwan Woong never gave up and still looked for this gumiho (although he has his personal motive: to capture Seo Hwa).
In the end, Dam Pyung Joon found out about Wol Ryung's magic (I prefer to call it as "magic" hehe), when he wrapped himself with leaves to protect Seo Hwa & himself. Then, when he tried to run away from Dam Pyung Joon's troops, they run into a trap (T__T). As they dragged Seo Hwa away from him, and chained him; he was conflicted. He knew he couldn't show his power, but he would always help anyone who ask for help. In this case, his wife was screaming for him to help her. But on the other hand, he would break the rule if he showed his power.
In the end, he couldn't hold it any longer and transformed into a gumiho - in front of everyone and his wife who stood there, frozen, couldn't believe that the man who gave her hope, love, joy; transformed into a monster.
Seo Hwa was safe, so did Wol Ryung (but he's badly injured.. T__T). He repeatedly apologized to Seo Hwa, but she didn't care T__T She's scared, upset, felt betrayed. She froze as her husband collapsed in front of her.
Seo Hwa decided to turn herself to the enemy; and escorted them to Moonlight Garden, the place where she shared many beautiful moments with Wol Ryung. Dam Pyung Joon stabbed him with a sword; and bom, he disappeared from the woman who he really loved, forever.
I believe that Wol Ryung is alive! But whether or not he becomes a demon for thousand years is a mystery.
Seo Hwa, who's pregnant with Wol Ryung's child; tried to abort the baby as she thought the baby would be a monster. But the baby's growing healthily inside her womb. She decided to go back to the Moonlight Garden, and gave birth there. Thankfully, the baby is not a monster; he's a really cute baby boy, Choi Kang Chi.
As Wol Ryung & Seo Hwa journey ends, Choi Kang Chi's journey will begin. Will he face the same fate as his father? Will he ever find a woman who can understand his struggle & can stay by his-side although he's half gumiho? I hope so!
