Gu Family Book (구가의 서) : Thoughts on the story and it's lovely lead couple

Gu Family Book (구가의 서), as far as I know, is a Kdrama that has just recently finished. I wasn't into epic or historical kind of shows lately but when I ran out of options, I gave this a try. I'd say it was great! It was good to see Lee Seung Gi again since "Shining Inheritance" with Han Hyo Joo. I know he was in "My Girlfriend is a Gumiho" but I'm not sure why I skipped it. Gu Family Book's story is something fresh or new. I don't really think I've seen this kind of plot where a legendary creature fell in love with a human, had a kid and so on and so forth. I haven't seen anything like this, at least in Kdramas. It kinda reminds me of Ghost Fighter. Remember Eugene? Half human, half monster? lol It's a kind of show where you just can't wait to see the next episode after seeing the preview. There were some parts that dragged a little bit like scenes in the gisaengs' house or scenes with the annoying villain Lee Sung Jae. I think I skipped most of those parts. I was hoping for Kang Chi (Lee Seung Gi) and Yeo Wool (Suzy) to have more magical and action scenes like in the first few episodes but since the focus of the story was for Kang Chi to become a human and be with humans, that part was probably cut short. The ending, although it was predictable, was something that I think most viewers also liked. For dramas like this, where the lead couple has good chemistry, an open ending is definitely not good. Kudos to the writers, producers and everyone who helped in this drama!!!!

About the couple Lee Seung Gi and Suzy. They seemed so comfortable with each other so most of the sweet scenes appeared really sweet! They have really good chemistry!

Here are some screenshots I took from one of the episodes:
