Kyaaaaa~ I can’t take this much goodness all at once! MBC is not dithering around that’s for sure. Right after releasing the super adorable and squee-worthy official stills of Lee Seung Gi in Gu Family Book, the production up and dropped the first video teaser as well. It’s like getting an unexpected inheritance and then winning the lottery later in the afternoon. Or something like that. I’m probably way more excited than I ought to be because right now there isn’t a single K-drama that has my interest, and that totally bums me out because I worry that the days of my drama addiction are slowly passing me by. But then baby boy and his GFB arrive and I feel all my addiction nodes tingling and standing at attention. The drama hasn’t revealed the first official stills for leading lady Suzy yet, but she appears for the first time in the teaser so check it out. She looks fantastic – her hair pulled up and wearing a masculine-type attire which fits her character who is described as a martial arts instructor and a tomboy.
In the teaser, we first are introduced to the parents – Lee Yeon Hee as the fallen noblewoman-turned-gisaeng and Choi Jin Hyuk as the god of the mountain and her protector and later husband. They fall in love in what looks to be a really emotionally charged way, but then we see poor Lee Yeon Hee giving birth alone in a cave. Afterwards a baby is floated down the river and picked up by a Joseon officer. The teaser ends with adult Choi Kang Chi smiling and fighting his way through the marketplace, joined by Suzy who deftly wields a sword. I know this story sounds like a cross between the story of baby Moses floated down a basket and Inuyasha with the half-human/half-beast mythical being with super fighting skills but a human’s heart and empathy. Funnily enough, Suzy’s character Dam Yeol Wool reminds me of a mash-up of Inuyasha’s two leading ladies Kikyou and Kagome, with her fighting skills and likely bickering relationship with Kang Chi. The directing looks solid from the teaser so my sole reservation for this drama still remains the scriptwriter. Oh vey, please let writer-nim suddenly grow some brains before starting this script.

Awesome! Gives the feel of a movie on an epic scale with grandeur. Promising!
HOMG Koala it really does look good! EXCITED.
Looks seriously high quality and amazing all around. The trailer even got me interested in the parents story. I knew Seunggi & Suzy would look great together.
Fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffck that's awesome.
I am guessing THIS will set all subbing records with this cast.
He is already making me hold my breath a little, and she looks super cool.
Is Hunky Moses?
Love CJH ever since he was sexy gangster in Romance Town and evil evil Ha Jung Woo chaser in that Yellow Something Something movie.
Will this break my record on how fast imma gonna be recapping this sucker? Is there a physical limitation on how fast a human being can type?
I guess we will find out in APRIL!!!!
Literally shaking with excitement!! This show went from meh to "must watch" in a span of a few hours... ever since you posted LSG's first look and then thissssss!!
Oh and then there's Sung Joonie... two of my fave actors from last year in one show!!
OMG the teaser has a 3D option... not that i wanna see the drama 3D but the fact that that its an option means there some really awesome PD quality here.
Also, I squealed like I was 5 when I saw all of it... literally squealed!
Looks amazing! Ok-Jung also released a teaser... 2 shows for April! :D I'm really curious which drama will be stronger - not only rating- but also plot-wise. :)
Please, oh, please let that be as awesome as it looks! Please be more Arang and the Magistrate and a whole let less Faith, if ya know what I mean. Directing looks good from the teaser, so fingers crossed!
i'm on my dry spell with dramas right now too...i hope this one has the right combination of heart, story, sense and humor.
koala might break the record for fastest a human can recap, type, cry, laugh and be frustrated all the same time. goodluck!
I'm also on a dry spell and have been wondering if there was something wrong with me. But with this trailer, I'm baaack!
Can't wait! Salivating here.
Ok, I'm already in love with the prologue of the drama...the LYH-CJH love story!.....so my level of anticipation has shot from zero to excitement (on seeing LSG stills) to Love, all in the course of one day...still not sure how I'm going to be dealing with my allergy to Suzy but for now I'm in
