Aw, I like Seunggi’s brief promo videos for GTV – Gu Family Book, which started airing on January 6. He’s in costume so looks like he did this cut during the actual drama filming. Seunggi’s song “Last Words” is playing on their site – I like. And lots of still photos too. The drama is re-titled “A 1000 Years Love” for Taiwan broadcast. And it was “Kangchi the Beginning” in Philippines. I guess it makes sense, now that we know the actual Gu family book was NOT very relevant. Kangchi’s true family were Lord Park, Admiral Lee, Master Gondal, and Yeowul.
LSG: Hello GTV viewers in Taiwan. Happy to meet you. I am Lee Seunggi and I play the role of Choi Kangchi in Gu Family Book. Gu Family Book is a different kind of drama in that it is sageuk genre and involves a unique character that is part human and part beast, which I got to act. I hope you will show a lot of love.
Makes me miss the drama. I recently went back and watched a few episodes. While some of Writer Kang’s story and character development, especially for Kangchi, got on my nerves, Seunggi did a really great job in making of us feel for his character. And re-watching cuts of Kangchi and Yeowul… they really were undeniably loveable. Now that it’s all over, I’ll miss our Kangdam couple.
@0:10~ Seunggi takes care of Suzy. Yup, that’s why he’s that awesome and such a pro. I’m sure both of them knew the Excellence category was more fitting for her award, but he supported all the way. Even gets her attention to wave goodbye, since he had to leave soon after. She’s really lucky to have worked with him.
2013 MBC Drama Awards will air on Dec. 30, 8:45pm KST. Lee Seunggi and Han Jihye will MC the event. As expected, Seunggi is nominated in the Top Excellence Award category. He was also nominated in the same category last year for the King 2 Hearts (along with Ha Jiwon), which was unanimously praised for the drama quality and acting, but did not receive any awards! To be fair, it was Moon that Embraces the Sun’s year. But for the record, TK2H never fell below 10% ratings. How ironic then, that we’ll be seeing Seunggi and Jiwon win top awards this year…
