My Girlfriend is Gumiho Ep 14 Summary and Review

This is also a good ep but I contest the plot. I dont get why did Woo decide to conceal the new "truth" from MH.

Ok so the hottie hunter told Woo that if MH's tail continues to disappear, she will die because his blood within her is killing both the fox and human essence within her. Ok, the reason that the imbalance causing her to switch uncontrollably between fox and human is taking place is a result from her overwhelming strong desire to become human and overriding the fox's essence...(as to how that will kill her which Hottie Hunter claim is beyond my understanding, since the death assumption with each missing tail is based on the logic of not having any human essence in her)

As MH happily declared to Woo that another of her tail has gone missin, Woo sinks into state of depression ( he contemplates what he has to do next - leave her) , while MH on the other hand, rejoices in the very idea that she is progressing to a "more humanly state" with each missing tail.

I kinda get it and yet dun quite get it. I understand why he did wat he did but I couldnt wrap round my head as to why couldnt Woo just honestly tell her the truth rather than make the decision unilaterally? At least she could try or at least understand why he has to leave. Afterall, didnt he just told her not to sacrifice herself blah blah blah and that they should crave their own destiny together since My hottie Hunter wont know what is next either after he return the fox bead? So suddenly he is all trusting of Hottie Hunter again without a single doubt that this may also be a ploy for him to get MH? Hmmmm...all very trusting there...when Hottie isnt exactly his best buddy....

So now what we have is a self sacrificial Woo, who decided to "harden" his heart and lie to MH that he no longer wants to be with her. Instead of the truth, He choose to break her heart saying that he sees her as a "monster" and left, leaving her sobbing her heart out and him drenched in the afternoon rain...

At the end of the episode, we see that Hottie Hunter has closed his clinic, MH strolling the streets alone assuming her new identity, and Woo assuming that MH has left with Hottie Hunter.

Of course I expect a happy ending that MH and Woo ends up together. The only question remains is how with 12 more days remaining... Initially, I had thought Hottie Hunter will have to sacrifice himself somehow to accomodate the love of the two but judging from these recent 2 episode, that doesnt seem to be the direction. Can Woo's interim's departure from MH's side truly be the real "cure" to MH's situation and help her live? How is it that after 100 days, a renewed desire from MH's to become human will not cause any "disharmony" within? The answer to the mystery awaits us....

PS: By the end of this post, you will notice I have watched 2 eps back to back...heheh...I am happy to announce I am once again bright eye-bushy tail and all ready to do my drama marathon! Not exactly 100% but My engine is restarting, all set to high gear and raring to go! Va-va Voom!!!

As of reading your opinion of Ep 14, i really should stop watching it now or else don't go to work tmr. It's already 2.37AM and my Korean language understanding is getting worse now. Watching Ep 14 without Eng sub is too difficult. Thx for your warning.

Hope they have the happy ending at least! My god! This is Romantic Comedy, isn't it?
