Candid photos from the set of Fox Child
by javabeans
I haven’t covered Gumiho: Tale of the Fox’s Child much since it began airing, which is mostly a factor of not having enough time. But the drama has attracted a steady, if smallish, fanbase who are drawn to the drama’s fresh take on a familiar genre of summer horror fare.
Here are some candid photos capturing comic moments between the cast, taken between shoots, and the lighthearted feel here contrasts with the darker mood of the series. Above is Han Eun-jung as a gumiho, while young Kim Yoo-jung plays her daughter.
I did watch the first episode and thought the premise was intriguing, although I haven’t been able to squeeze in the time to continue watching. The drama takes the gumiho concept in an interesting direction by setting up Han Eun-jung’s character as a reluctant, almost tortured, gumiho. She wants to turn human and the loss of that opportunity is a crushing blow for her. While the gumiho traditionally feeds on human organs, she has enough compassion to resist that urge, which is sort of like the morality conflict you’d get with the “vampire with a soul” construct in the Western horror canon.
Gumiho: Tale of the Fox’s Child has been pulling in constant but lowish ratings on Mondays and Tuesdays, and is approximately halfway done with its run.
(Humorous though it may be, I find the photo below of the two girls — Kim and her co-star Seo Shin-ae — creepy even though they’re clearly joking. Something about ghostly little girls just unnerves me.)

Those people can either really jump or the angle of the cameras make it look like they can jump really high. LoL. I like the broomstick shot. So funny!

This is a very good drama, but had to drop because Viikii is not releasing it in the US. If you can watch it, so so because the girls are wonderful in it.

I'm hooked on this drama. The 2 young girls can realllllly act. The story scares me at some parts...mainly how cruel/selfish some people can be. The scenery is super.
The young puppy love here is sweet. I keep on waiting for them to grow up though.

I really want to watch this, but subbing is hard to find. BOOOO. But, I'm going to wait even if I have to wait for a while. Yeah I don't think I have forever to wait. But, we can only hope. :)
And the creepy picture with the kids? Horror film worthy. *shivers*

@ 16 & 19
Oh GOOD. I thought I was the only one. It freaked me out a little because I seriously thought her head was either floating or joined to KYJ...which would be just as scary.
And okay, I watched the first episode of this drama, and it was all sorts of interesting, except for the makeup. I kind of wished they laid off on the make up...or layered it on more. Will anyone be recapping this drama? It's really, really all sorts of interesting...

I was able to watch on dramastyle up to episode 2 with E-subs, but since Viikii is having licensing issues, had to drop it. This is an interesting drama; I have to wait until next year to watch it.
Go by the Soompi site for subbing info.

I've watched every episode without subs and continue to mainly because I've enjoyed every move in Seo Shin Ae's young career and have also enjoyed the little one (Kim Yoo-jung) who plays the lead. It appears as if tomorrows stars are quite going toe-to toe with the veterans and quite often come out on top. Han Eun Jung is as fetching as ever and it's quite a change to see some of the usual "good guys" playing sinister roles. (The camped up pictures reassure me that they're all still ok in real life!) Of the two junior players, the little fox-child is really pretty and will probably go on play the young female love interest in future dramas. In interviews, she seems a bit like her character, often wide-eyed and a bit scared and also a bit shy. The "mean girl" (Seo Shin Ae) is as alert and confident behind the scenes as she is on camera. She does much of the heavy lifting here making you revile her character at the same time you marvel at her talent to make you do so. This little lady has a dream to become the "best actress in the world and to have her name known in every country." (according to a clip that I saw with her on Entertainment Relay) Watching her work makes me confident that her goals may one day become realised...

@24 Yeah, I know about WITHS2 but my landlady/housemate would kill me if I download too much things (and I bet it would take a lot to download the raw vids). Talk about slowing down the internet. But, so far I've seen 4 episodes. The fight scene s are total wire works, some of the stuff makes me go 'huh?', but I still like the show.

Ani: You can watch it on http://www.dramacrazy.net or www. mysoju.com.
On drama crazy all but the last three episodes are subbed. ON mysoju I think they have up to episode 12.
You don't have to download those.. you can just watch. I just watch them and have a great time.
