nice drama….

Great drama , solid acting , i love chemistry between Min woo – Mi jo and Kang mo- jeong yeon . All of them deliver their characters , as smart with strong will power persons , so good so realistic .Plots and directing are excellent
rating is too low for this drama , for me should be higher .

this is of the most underated drama this year not many people giving this drama the chance and make the most noise about it only the loyal fan of each actor trying the make the effort to watch but what a surprise with solid performance by all the actors especially LBS (yeah he is old but with him as the main character he brings the charisma and sexy vibe to the character)PJH (for the elegance and dignity to the character) and other charaters as well.Top notch storyteling by the writers and directors and the drama climb up the chart not back up by all the hype hoopla and fascinating look only but by the sincerity and the brilliance of a story pack with good acting to boots. This kind of combination cannot be create many times so enjoy this drama while it last.Giant never claims to be a masterpiece but it is going to be one!

Must watch drama – Gumiho – Tale of a Fox child. – The picture look scary but actually the drama is not scary but exciting. The actors and actresses including the kids all acted very very well.
Jung Kyu & Yeon Yi met the 1st time & catching fire flies at the river side – so sweet

My Girlfriend is a Gumiho (a comedy) – also very nice.

I have to say the younger version is the best acting, the grown up version a bit old and you know, I miss the young one is better looking.

Amazing—

this drama is quite long..i only watch the parts with mijoo and skip everything else haha. I bet the producers know that and try to focus more on mijoo and minwoo’s relationship.
kangmo looks soo old, it was soooo disappointing when he played the older version of kangmo because THE YOUNGER VERSION OF HIM so much better!!! I LOVE kim soo hyun!

What is this drama story about?
I’m just curious, since the rating is so good..
but the episode is too long…
December 14th, 2010 at 8:39 pm
I am on episode#49, and I really recomend for all to watch, is a litlle slow at the begining but later getsa better and better, I think the most inportant is how did Korea end up been a big city with all the buildings, road, and politics, how some people figth to have what they had, and of course corruptions, a nice love story, a father that do not know what is love at all, and more interesting conditions….recomended 100%, I know is long and I donot like long dramas, but this one is really worth it…enjoy

IT WAS A GREAT ENDING LOVE THIS DRAMA
