I feel very generous with my rating considering the rage I felt after finishing this drama. I was all set and ready to actually mark Gu Family Book as one of my top favorites before the last two episodes had to come along and ruin it all.

My feelings for this drama went through three stages: this blows, this is freaking awesome, and thisistheworstdramaever.

Plot wise, it suffered. There was an initial direction and motive but nothing was ever executed efficiently and the show really went all over the place.

The acting was just okay at best. I love Lee Seung Gi and Suzy both but they have done better. The other actors were similarly awkward for the most part.

Despite these flaws, the relationship between Kang Chi and Yeol Wool was refreshingly sweet and there were many characters who grew on me and made me love them. This was enough for me to be rather forgiving of Gu Family Book's weak points.

Having said that, the ending was unnecessary on so many different levels I cannot even begin to express my disappointment and anger. It was suuuuper out of place and only lead me to the conclusion that this drama did NOT accomplish what it initially set out to do.

In other words: Gu Family Book, you fail. I just wish you hadn't captured my heart and taken me down with you.

Excuse me while I go cry myself to sleep.
