Gumiho Determined to Take Revenge in ‘Grudge: The Revolt of Gumiho’ A child gumiho has been revived through the body of a daughter of the nobleman who killed her and taken revenge in the KBS drama “Grudge: The Revolt of Gumiho.” In episode #13, Yeon-yi (Kim Yoo-jeong) in the appearance of Yun Cho-ok (Seo Shin-ae) stabs Yun Du-su (Jang Hyun-sung), Cho-ok’s father, crying that she will get rid of everyone who did harm to her. Believing that her daughter is possessed by the sprit of Yeon-yi, Cho-ok’s mother (Kim Jung-ran) has a shaman perform an exorcism. But that makes Yeon-yi remember better the moment of her death and she tells her mother Gumiho about it, who blames herself for being deceived by Du-su. The mother tells Yeon-yi, “If anything bad happens to you, it will kill me as well, so don’t try to take the matter into your own hands. I’ll take care of it.” But that does not help soothe Yeon-yi, and she stabs Du-su when he comes to the location where the exorcism is taking place. Du-su concludes that what has happened is all because of his wife that his daughter has changed, and drives his wife out of their home. Cho-ok’s mother encounters shaman Man-shin (Chun Ho-jin), who tells her that she must stab Yeon-yi in the chest to save her daughter. When she find Yeon-yi and Gumiho, she tries to kill Gumiho as she is protecting Yeon-yi, but Yeon-yi is stabbed while trying to save her mother. Gumiho takes Yeon-yi and flees, but not before Cho-ok’s mother sees her turning into a gumiho, or nine-tailed fox. |

Secrets Behind High Popularity of ‘Bread, Love and Dreams’ “Bread, Love and Dreams” is enjoying skyrocketing popularity. Its ratings have continued to increase and with over half of the total episodes aired, the figure has now reached some 40 percent. What lies behind all the attention and interest the show is receiving? Cast members unamimously cited a well-written story. Eugene, who plays female protagonist Shin Yoo-gyeong, said that she can’t wait to read the next script. “Our show is not trendy at all. Rather it causes nostalgia, which helps it appeal to a wide range of fans,” she said. “And each character is convincing. Even evil roles have a plausible story of their own about why they cannot help being evil.” Ju Won, who appears as Gu Ma-jun, said, “When I read the scripts for the first time, I was confident it would be well-received if we could only portray characters successfully, as the writer intended.” He added, “Both good and bad roles are convincing and supported by fans, and this seems to help the show gain popularity.” Lee Young-a, who plays Yang Mi-sun, also expressed her confidence in the story. “The story is intriguing simply when reading the scripts,” she said. Yoo Si-yoon, who plays the lead role of Kim Tak-gu, attributed the message of energy and hope to its skyrocketing popularity. “When I had an interview early on, I said that I am not somebody, but Tak-gu is somebody, and I think the popularity we are enjoying is due to support for him,” he said. “I am really grateful to all the fans who give us strength and energy.” Set in the 1970s, “Bread, Love and Dreams” revolves around Kim Tak-gu, an aspiring baker who reaches the top of his profession.
