[Review] Gu Family Book - part 2

Finally.. The drama has ended! T_T

My overall thoughts:
  • I love Yeol Wol character! From the beginning, she knows that she or Kang Chi would die if they continue their relationship. Yet, she still follow her heart. I was really touched when she stand up for Kang Chi despite knowing his divine sides. She even remind her father, "There is no bad people but only people who are trapped in bad circumstances. And Kang Chi is in one of them!" Waahh~ *clap clap* 
  • Kang Chi was so outgoing when he didn't know who he really is. He still is.. Only with the help of Yeol Wol. Yeol Wol is the only reason he wants to become human anyway. Poor him.. All the people that he loved, left him.. Lord Park, his mother, his father, then Yeol Wol.. It was so heart-breaking to see that.
  • I pity Cheong Jo because I know she still love and care about Kang Chi. But it was a big mistake for her when she threw stones to Kang Chi as he showed his divine sides. How heartbroken must Kang Chi felt at that time.. But I do understand that she was full of fear at that time. Fear that she'll lose her brother, who is her only family left..
  • I respect Admiral Lee Soon Shin character. He has this aura of a great leader. A very charismatic character. The way he plan strategy and all, was very impressive. He was able to confront challenge with patience. At the beginning, when he sent Kang Chi to Jo Gwan Woong for murder, I can't really predict how he's going to save Kang Chi. But he managed to manipulate the situation and turn things to his advantage. Remember when Jo Gwan Woong killed the 11 listed people? I did expect that actually.. Hehe.. But as I was saying, Admiral Lee Soon Shin knows how to manipulate situation.
  • I also like Master Gong Dal character from the first time he appeared. He is a funny guy. Full of wit and wisdom. 
The last episode:
  • It was a sad ending and I seriously didn't expect it that way. I thought there would be another twist to the story. Something that can nullify the fate that they have. I guess the monk prediction will always come true. Just like what happen when Lord Park died. 
  • The scene when Kang Chi and Yeol Wol were near the river was so heart-breaking. I almost cried.. Plus the lyrics from the song really portrays the feeling Kang Chi was experiencing. T_T
"My tears, my sad memories
My love, whom I miss
I draw your face out, under the same sky
I live in pain like this"
  • The future.. Haha.. I was happy to see Ma Bong Chol again. That crazy fella.. And Gon!!! I miss you! It's a pity you never get to express your feeling to Yeol Wol. I was hoping that you might end up with the Mistress, instead. Hihi.. 
  • Since Kang Chi met Yeol Wol near the peach tree with the moon on top, would their fate be repeated like last time? Well, I hope not.. But what's the significance of showing that they met near the peach tree again? Can their fate be changed?
  • But at the end, where is Gu Family Book? Would there be a sequel? Hmm..

Levain Boulangerie & Patisserie


I know how hard it is to pronounce the name of this bakery & pastry shop. But it was worth a visit.

I went there with my colleagues last week, after work.
We stopped at a Petronas station for prayer @7:25pm and continue our journey @7:45pm.
Since we used Federal Highway, it was a looooong journey with the slow traffic.

The shop closes at 9 pm!!! What?! Oh no!
We were in front of MidValley @8:15pm.
Hmmm.. Should we abort our plan and go to MidValley instead?
Luckily, our driver didn't lost hope so he still drove us to the shop.
We arrived there at around 8:30pm, I think.. *fyuuh~*
They said our order would be the last one since the kitchen is closing soon.
That's good enough for us.. =)

TomYam Spaghetti - Mine!


Chicken Aglio-Olio Spaghetti - The best!

The foods and desserts were nice, plus the atmosphere..
I wish we could have come earlier so we could enjoy our foods slowly.
Definitely would come again soon!
