Puffy eyes, yup, got those from the concluding episodes, but the drama ended in a happy note.It is incredulous how these Korean tele-novelas are being used by God, at times, to communicate to me. He probably sees how hooked I was on these, so He squeezes helpful messages into the mini-movies. Often, the messages are personal and do strike home. Very very surprising indeed.
So what's the message this time?
A little background . . . a Gumiho is a nine-tailed fox. The girl is a "gumiho" from ancient times, trapped in a painting. She was released by a guy who became his boyfriend in certain terms. She has so much "will" to be like the man he loves, a "human".
The striking scenes were the so called "deaths of the Gumiho". During full moon, her nine tails show up. During the process of being human, she dies and loses one tail. Every death was awfully painful. She endures the pain. To be able to ease some of the supposedly unbearable ordeal, she has her "bead" besides her. The bead is some sort of a central power source of the Gumiho.
Back to the message . . . Like us, we want to be like the One whom we love, our God. For He said, be perfect just as your Father is perfect. We are also advised to imitate Christ, to be like Christ. However, in the process of reaching this goal, we have to undergo several deaths, dying to one's self. If we die to ourselves, we let Christ live in us.
And each death becomes possible only through our source of power, the Holy Spirit.
