I don't but there are people who watch it raw. The reason I want Monday so badly is because I feel releaved when I see it up on DC which means I can watch it in one day. Crazy thought but that's basically why I wait for Monday :D

Silly people! I only start panicking on Wednesday night "WHY AREN'T THE SUBTITLES FOR THE SECOND EPISODE OF THE WEEK OUT YET!?"

I only started to watch Gu family Book, because from recaps I found Gon Yi's acting ridiculous when he's jealous. But I fell into this. It is awesome. :) First I started with episode 3, because from MV's I thought the parent's love story is too simple, but later I watched these episodes to understand the connections with later happenings. ( And I continue to think, it is not the best part of the drama. ) I know it's early, but it is the best drama for this year to me :) It has many ties, beautiful sight, exciting plot, funny moments, romance, bad guys... I just can't keep waiting for next episodes (so in that time I read regularly this discussion to know what you guess :D ) Btw, am I the only one who thinks that Jo Gwan Woong's deputy guard is hot? XD I'm serious. Gu Wol Ryung is not bad of course but I prefer the guard. Do you know who is he? I mean the actor

Not sleeping, building... I just saw episode 15, and......and..... I can't find the words. I loved it too much, I' m going to rewatch it and wait for the subs..... I just need to say something ... am I dreaming or is his father acting evil to teach kang chi how to master his own powers ? Or does he really want to kill him? I was disappointed by Suzy's acting in this episode. She is going through some pretty serious stuff, it's about time she start acting and reacting accordingly (sorry but that "I'm so shocked and sad I collapse on the floor" scene was just plain fake to me, I didn't believe it for a split second) . I don't want her to become melodramatic, but some depth would be nice...please. And again :hotness alert, this is the sexiest gumiho of all time. I love Kang Chi but I'm seriously considering grabing his father and jhivjhrdfijrdbfijrefvrihfgrdijfbrfjhvdsjchfdvfjhdvcjdhfesjhfv......if you know what I mean. Can't wait for tomorrow to come!

I've actually been pretty impressed with Suzy in this.

Yeah, me too.

To be fair, the scenario that she's put in can be considered overwhelming and to put words in could possibly ruin the scene. I'm not a fan of it, but at times it can be considered "necessary".

In this episode there were 2 examples of "collapsing scenes". I think the first one, in the woods, was justified and understandable and I actually liked her acting at that time, but the one in her father's office was completely riddiculous. She is improving as an actress, but it all still seem a bit fake to me. In the woods, the silent tear on kang chi 's cheek seemed more sincere than her loud sobs. But I won't go as far as saying she is a bad actress, she can have her moments. I just wish that her acting could be deeper and more intense when necessary.
