Rezension von Denise N3.75 rating. It's a great YA book that weaves Korean folklore into modern times. It does have a mix of K-drama put in. Characters Yea was the typical K-drama mom you see in tv that pushes their child to be the best cause she's such a disappointment. Gu Miyoung is a meek and naive gumiho who pushes people away and relies solely on her mother. Jihoon is a free-spirited guy with trust issues. I'll leave the rest out. Plot It was somehow predictable on my end due to the given hints at some parts of the book. Still, it does have it's charm and provides for a bigger picture of what's yet to come by the end of the book. What I did love is that it didn't really have to center about the relationship but centered more on familial ties. Themes Not all blood is thicker than water. I think that's really the main point I got here. I also love though how we're introduced to Korean culture of Halmeoni, gumiho, dokkaebi and all. It does bring in you into their culture and does not force itself to become more Westernized.
