My Girlfriend Is a Gumiho (2010) User Reviews

Better than expected!!!

[natassa-athens · 9/10 · 4 September 2020]

When I started watching this kdrama I felt like it was kind of childish. But I thought to give it some more try, because I love so much Lee Seung Gi!

To my surprise, it was becoming better and better, episode after episode!!!

Finally it evolved to a GREAT LOVE STORY!!!

It made me even cry in the last few episodes, but made me also laugh with many funny scenes!

It's a series full of pure and innocent love, a love that gives it all, and this is the way that love should exist in our world!

Lee Seung Gi and Shin Min-A were EXCEPTIONAL in their acting and brought the series to a higher level!!!!

Fantasy, Romance, Adventure, Love... I am so grateful that I saw this kdrama!

It really worth to see it!!!!!!!

Lighthearted and Fairly Enjoyable KTV Rom-com!

[cremea · 7/10 · 11 October 2012]

My Girlfriend is a Gumiho is a Korean televised melodrama that aired back in 2010. I've seen a lot these types of shows over the years and this one's not bad. I won't heap the undeserved praise (my opinion) on it that the other two reviewers did, and I feel its current IMDb rating of 8.2 stars is a bit on the high side. Nevertheless, it is good enough and solidly watchable.

SPOILERS AHEAD!

If you don't know what a Gumiho is, you clearly haven't watched much Korean cinema. This is at least the 6th different Korean movie or show I can think of (just off the top of my head) that involves one; there are probably dozens more of these stories though. A Gumiho is a mythical creature in Korean folklore; a nine tailed fox to be precise. The most similar mythical creature I can compare it to in western culture is a mermaid, and that's because they are both usually beautiful enticing creatures with or without supernatural powers that may or may not lead to your doom if you happen upon one.

Gumiho stories and mermaid stories have been overused to say the least, but both legends provide a wide ranging spectrum to craft a story however you like. I've seen some really dark gumiho-centric stories, that involve torturing men and eating their livers, bringing about the destruction of the human race, taking over the world, etc. This particular show sits on the other end of the spectrum, and it's basically just a fluffy romantic comedy.

I don't really have any problems with this show, it's just that it's pretty forgettable; it breezes right in and breezes right away just as quickly. Shin Min-a is your lead actress (the Gumiho). I've always had a thing for her, but that pretty much goes the same for any talented and pretty Korean actress. She's solid enough here. The lead actor is played by Lee Seung-gi, who is a young solo singing artist that I don't recall seeing in any acting role before this. He doesn't yet have the star power of Min-a, but he did just fine in his role as well. He plays a struggling young action actor who's trying to break into the big time. EDIT 10-9-2018: Seung-gi is quite well known now compared to when I originally wrote this review years ago.

The story (which I will try to recall from memory) begins with Min-a trying to be married off in the Joseon era. Rumors are swirling that she might be a Gumiho though, so she has no takers; everyone fears it will bring doom and destruction upon their village, and as a man, I'd rather slowly destroy my liver the old fashioned way, instead of having it ripped out of my torso and watch it being eaten as I die a painful death. Heartbroken that nobody wants her, Min-a realizes she has no place in society and is subsequently banished into a temple painting/mural to be stored for all eternity (this is another common Korean legend concerning how immortal and inhuman creatures, beasts, etc...can be dispatched of). I can't remember if she does this voluntarily out of sheer despair, or is captured by a Gumiho hunter.

Flash forward to 2010. Min-a is getting pretty tired of "living" in this painting for the last several hundred years, so she tricks our young male lead who happens upon the temple into uttering the right phrase or doing the right thing that will release her. He does so, and from there it's mostly a straightforward "mythical" rom-com (kind of along the lines of the American movie: "Splash"). There are lots of cute moments that follow where he discovers who/what she really is, and where she learns about the modern world and follows him around so she can eat more of her favorite dish (i.e. cow). Her 9 tails pop out uncontrollably whenever she gets overly excited, and she's helps him out of numerous jams using her super human abilities. At one point, she even saves his life using her special powers.

The 2 leads quickly begin to fall in love, but all is not perfect; other characters find out about, or begin to suspect something is a little off with, Min-a, as she and Seung-gi try to keep her true identity secret. There's also a modern day Gumiho hunter (who apparently does not understand how shirt buttons work) that's hot on her trail. Eventually, Min-a decides she wants to become human and live her life as a "normal" person with her true love. She's given a magical elixir by the Gumiho hunter that may just fulfill her wishes; it's not without risks though, as she or her new love or both may perish if she takes it. Down the hatch it goes though and let's see what happens.

From there, it's a matter of what will happen to the two leads as they wait to see if they'll survive her transformation into becoming a human. And, of course, whether he, she, or both survive is dependent upon how strong their love is for one another.

Bottom Line: I don't think this show belongs in the 8-10 star range the current IMDb reviews and ratings suggest (again, just my opinion). I've seen a lot of Korean melodramas over the years, so I feel I have a pretty good prospective on this genre. That being said (written), this show is quite enjoyable overall, and I have no problem recommending it. I also think it's a good recent "starter" show if you're not yet familiar with KTV dramas, as it's not as overly "taxing" as many other KTV melodramas can often be. It's a light and short comedic romance series that's pretty effective at what it's trying to accomplish, and what's not to like about that?

I think 7 stars is just about right, so that's what I'm giving it!

gumiho...is a joy

[jkchancey · 9/10 · 2 June 2012]

i'm fairly new to Korean drama/ comedy. so far this is in the top 3 that i have seen. i found it to be delightful,charming and funny . made me feel good every time. i also enjoyed the shows " playful kiss " and " boys over flowers ". i wish more shows emphasized such honesty of emotion. i often feel the sense that i am gaining something positive after viewing these shows. they seem to run the gamut of emotions. " my girlfriend is a gumiho " does not disappoint . i think if you have love in your heart. you will enjoy this show. the portrayals of character were very convincing for me. if you like to smile a lot , watch" my girlfriend is a gumiho "

A TV Show which made me write my first review after watching more than 100 Hollywood TV shows and close to 500 movies.

[aligalaxy · 10/10 · 10 April 2020]

I don't know where to start. I have never felt emotions so strong before in my life. Yes, In my life, I have watched hundreds of war and romantic movies based on love. At best, they are able to bring emotions in which my eyes get little watery in the end. This show made be cry out loud because of happiness and pain. It was as if I was experiencing same kind of emotions what mi-ho and dae-woong was going through. I got so attached to them that 1 hour of episode felt like 10 minutes. I wish I was a writer so that I can put my feelings in words better. Lol . I have watched so many Hollywood TV shows and movies before and none of them was able to touched my heart deeply as with this show. I watched this show in 2020 almost after 10 years or so. If it wasn't for netflix, I wouldn't have ever find this show. Since I am an Indian, I watched with English subtitles but though you don't have to worry about it since subtitles on Netflix was spot on. Throughout the show, I never felt for even once that I was watching a show in foreign language. I am glad I discovered this show and was able to experience the emotions I never felt before seeing anything on TV before. If I had money I would have dubbed it in Hindi language so wider audience in India can enjoy it. I have IMDB account from past five years and have been regularly cataloguing titles I have watched here. But this is the first time I felt like reviewing a title. At last I hope, I can find a cute and pretty girl like Mi-ho in my life, it will definitely be a life worth living. Loving, caring and getting old together. This show brough a sense of responsibility in my life, it brought positivity and I will cherish this feeling as long as I can. Thank you.

The best K-Drama I've ever seen

[Bsowlin · 10/10 · 5 May 2019]

The title and the main plot are so simple, not attractive to watch. But I gave it a chance by trying 1st episode on Netflix due to picture of Shin Min Ah on the poster. Then I cannot stop watching it. So addictive. The chemical between 2 main actors is very real. I felt like they are actually love each other so much like true love not love because director told them to. In my opinion, this show is just perfect I've never want this show to finish. Til this day, I'm still not be able to find k-series to replace this show.

TLDR: Must watch.

So cheesy, but it works.

[chilligrrl · 7/10 · 4 February 2020]

The acting in this show is pretty cheesy, the only one who can really act properly is Seung-gi (and the other mystical vet guy), but then it's probably what the producer intended! Somehow amongst all the dramatic pauses, the fart jokes, a strange obsession with cows and strange minor characters it seems to work and all come together well. If you can get past all that it's a good show worth watching.

If you love Kdrama and JDrama, you'll love this, and even if you don't

[tamarenne · 10/10 · 8 September 2012]

My Girlfriend is a Gumiho is a title I avoided for over a year after it arrived for European consumption. I had long ago become a big fan of the charming "KDramas" and "JDramas" from South Korea and Japan. Often inspired or even derived from anime and manga, these dramas, though generally formulaic, are wonderfully acted, charming, funny often, and hearken back to a time when movies and TV shows were great without gratuitous violence or demeaning language.

But I avoided "My Girlfriend is a Gumiho" because the title seemed to promise a television experience about as thought provoking as Beach Blanket Bingo. Out of boredom I decided to try it out one night when I was looking for something to tide me over while waiting for a title to appear that would be more promising.

Sounds rather stupid, doesn't it? That's what I thought until I actually watched it.

I was so wrong. It only took one complete episode and I realized MGIAG was something special. The two leads, Lee Seung Gi as Cha Dae Woong, the brash but good hearted college guy whose dream is to be an action star, and Shin Min-Ah as Gu Mi Ho, the "Gumiho" or "Nine Tailed Fox" a mystical creature who takes the form of a beautiful girl, are fantastic.

These two wonderful actors inhabit these cute roles that start out as silly and adorable and slowly take on deeper meaning as the two of them begin to realize they have feelings for one another, and then tragic overtones as they realize that they most likely can never be.

I swear I have never laughed so much as I did during the early episodes, nor have I cried so much as I did during the final three or four episodes as they acknowledge their love and grow into powerful souls devoted to protecting the other at all costs.

The entire cast is wonderful, and the production values are excellent The music goes from fun and tuneful to sweet and haunting.

I cannot recommend this drama enough.

Another great premise wasted

[vampiroconti · 7/10 · 2 February 2013]

THE GOOD

• An interesting premise

• The first half is consistently funny

• The smile of the lead actress lights up the screen

THE BAD

I think this is best described as a product for kids: light in tone, little story development, and with plot holes so immediately evident it is impossible to brush them aside and remain engaged in the product.

There are some conventions in K-dramas that you know you must accept: people sleep fully clothed, doors are never locked, a few hospital scenes, one or both characters are orphans, mobile phones are used extensively except when most needed, and so on. I accept all of those. But here are a few other major problems of this show, assuming you are older than twelve.

A premise of UNLIMITED potential (supernatural immortal being awakes in a modern world totally unfamiliar to her, guy has to manage both her power and her ignorance) is criminally underutilized. Unnumbered gags were set aside in the name of conventional K-drama staples.

The lead actress is excellent in her role, conveying cuteness, innocence, and making you wish you could be there to help her out and protect her: you simply struggle to imagine someone else doing a better job. But what of the show beside her performance? It would lose a lot of its appeal, right?

The gumiho being is not realistically portrayed. She is full-innocent bordering on dumb. For comparison take the Japanese animated series "Spice and Wolf", which has a very similar premise: an immortal wolf-goddess somehow joins a guy and gets to live in the world of men. She is ignorant of most things yet, since she has countless years of experience and is a superior being, she is able to figure out things in her own way; also, her moods continuously straddle between cocky confident and scared ignorant. It seems likely that would be her reaction and behavior, no?

In a show that lasts 16 episodes/hours, there is basically only one story told, that of the main couple. The usual sidekick couple story arc (in this case the aunt and the director) is pure comedy fodder and does not present any drama: we are never in any doubt that they will be happy together in the end.

The story of the doctor/teacher/phantom and his past could have been developed into something more consistent, but instead is limited to one single flashback repeated over and over: I felt that there was a great story in his past to be told to explain his feelings and decisions, but because it isn't properly told I never really connected with him.

Episodes 10 and 15 are particularly infuriating, both because they seem edited by a madman with no regard for chronology and consequentiality, and because they exaggerate in their use of tired plot devices.

Because the show is generally light, the cliffhangers at the end of most episodes are not very strong, totally absent, or botched. For example they managed to ruin the first kiss: you have waited eleven episodes for it, and when it finally arrives the episode ends mid-scene.

Up until the twelfth episode the male lead shows no signs of sexual attraction towards either his original girlfriend or his new roommate (and in the latter case it can't be attributed to her being a gumiho, since he himself clearly states that he's not afraid of her). This is a complaint that I have with most of the K-dramas I have watched. I understand the decision to refrain from going into the sexual aspect of relationships, but I can't be asked to believe that young people have no physical impulses. Find a plot excuse to forbid/prevent them from having a sexual relationship (as they do in episode 12), or simply imply it off screen.

Considering that you're never in doubt that the main couple will live happily ever after, there was too much drama at the expense of good comedy. In the same way, once the old lady shows up at the beginning of the last episode, a happy ending is implied, and that robbed me of any hand-wringing uncertainty.

The talents of the male lead are poorly used: in the first few episodes he shows a nice comedic range of expressions and body language, but as the story progresses the script only requires him to look worried.

In my humble opinion of western person, at least one scene depicting Miho's feral nature was needed to make her believable as potentially scary (something like her face gory with blood), but maybe for Korean/Asian people knowing she is a gumiho is enough.

Good enough

[PennyReviews · 6/10 · 1 September 2017]

My girlfriend is a gumiho has a weird description that will confuse some if they're not that familiar with the whole nine tail fox myth. Still, it's a classic because if you overcome that and watch it, it is rewarding. The leading lady is amazing playing the humanised fox who tries to adapt to not only modern society but also the human way of behaving. Actually, the first half of the drama focuses on the comical element and it is actually very funny. Eventually, however, the romance gets a bit too tiring, as things start to be on repeat and eventually there are too many clichés. It's not that the two of them don't have chemistry, and actually the romance is cute and sweet, but it wasn't handled very well. The main song of the drama, on the other hand, was perfect for the whole supernatural themed and created the perfect mood for the drama. Finally, the second lead lady was kind of annoying, almost tiring in the end, though her acting was very good. Maybe it was the fact that she had that cold stare and she didn't blink (!). So, 6 out of 10.

All the cute and lovely supernatural creatures come to Korea only !

[Rifat_Sharna · 9/10 · 25 July 2015]

"My girlfriend is a Gumiho" is a popular South Korean romantic-comedy- mythological drama series that involved the story of a gumiho or a nine tailed fox whose desire is to live human life and an ambitious actor guy who incidentally met her. And it's a worth-watching melodrama series. Initially my sassy girl-crush Jun Ji Hyun turned down the role of heroine gumiho- that's great because it's destined to be Shin-Min-Ah's show I think. She was very cute, natural, and lovely as a gumiho, also a real fashionista- most of the times her simple dress-up suited her perfectly. The chemistry between her and the talented hero Lee Sung- Gi ( as Cha-Tae-Woong) was adorable too bringing both emotional and funny scenes. Yes, many times the drama was so funny that I laughed a lot and felt that it's one of the best drama series I had watched so far. A lot of passers-by and random characters focused by camera also added more natural flavor. The soundtracks specially the theme song were awesome and natural acting of other side characters- half human Dong-Ju ( thumbs up for No Min Woo! ) , Woong's aunt and grandfather , director and villain-like Hye-In brought fun and suspense. So although in the ending episodes it became a bit cliché and a little more story development and care for side characters would be much better, overall it's a lovely-enjoyable drama.

However, 500+ years old gumiho obviously reminded me of 400+ years old alien Do Min Joon (Kim Soo Hyun) from my previously watched outstanding series "My Love from the Star". Gumiho heroine looked too naive where alien hero looked cool and wise but undoubtedly the both were so adorable at so many times. So why all these cute and lovely supernatural creatures from fictions come to Korea only can be a topic of good thoughts! :p :)

She's a Fox!

[atleverton · 7/10 · 5 February 2023]

This was certainly an odd duck of a series. It tells the tale of a magical creature, who is condemned to live in a painting, until she is liberated by an aspiring action star. The special effects are atrocious. The series is about four episodes too long. And there is this very bizarre character who is constantly munching on a match stick. The acting, as well, is lacking in the principles of goodness. Despite all of these flaws, this Series has heart. The main actress is the cutest actress in all of k-drama, and the villain is not hard to look at also, if he is your kind of thing. The bits where the main character is acting like a fox are hilarious, and the sacrifice of the male lead for the woman he loves is heartbreaking. I think if you are just getting into watching Korean dramas, this may not be for you, but if you have watched the normal, this serious, you can watch this goofy thing.

Typical dumb shallow cliched kid romance

[sampah70 · 1/10 · 18 February 2019]

This stupid kid romance gain popularity by marketing.

Typical overacting kids, overcliched beaten to death and insulting your brain over and over again. The same level stupidity with kadarshian reality show or maria mercedes etc.

There's many other k-dramas are better than this crap. Unless you've already watched the other 100-150, you'd better pass this one.

Cutest Couple Ever with a Star-Crossed Destiny

[fprefect-685-281084 · 9/10 · 14 May 2013]

My Girlfriend Is a Gumiho has a split personality; a light & fun initial half and an emotionally packed second half to the series.

Successful formula for this series that I grew to love: Super Cute Couple + spunky Gumiho leading lady + romantic gestures from the leading man that will be tough to top

Super Cute Couple: Dae-woong and Mi-ho are the cutest - Finger guns blazing for how adorable they are!

Spunky Gumiho leading lady: Mi-ho's forthright honestly about her feelings for Dae-woong and becoming a human were charming (though the honestly waned in the latter episodes to "protect" Dae-woong).

Romantic gestures from the leading man: The evolution Dae-woong from spoiled boy to sacrificing-all-for-his-Gumiho man slayed me.

What didn't work about this series? The adult romance was ridiculous, the other secondary characters were one dimensional and the second leads didn't stand a chance thwarting the leading couple. Dong-joo, the half- human/ghost was too pretty and wooden be an impact. Hye-in was a successful obstacle initially but she just couldn't compete with star- crossed destiny and faded away.

**SPOILER** When without hesitation Dae-woong ingests the fox bead with the full understanding he must die to return the bead to Mi-ho, is a huge moment and forever seals my love for this character. Initially Dae-woong was so unworthy and selfish, hard to believe he evolved so far.

The final episode had me transitioning from one crying jag to the next, Dae-woong ingesting the fox bead without hesitation and willing to die for Mi-ho, their airport reunion, the last day together, when Mi-ho disappears, Dae-woong getting hit by the truck, Mi-ho calling Dae-woong – would one phone call be it?, Mi-ho finally reappearing and their reunion, the tears just flowed. **SPOILER**

I Like This Drama

[lia00027 · 9/10 · 7 April 2013]

Come on people who don't like this drama is a weirdo. Yeah Lee Seung gi's acting is OK because he is acting like that in most of all his drama but I like his playful cheerful role here. Same goes with Shi min ah I like her acting, she's not so pretty but she's charming and she was acting very good, I like the way she's acting shameless, cheerful, and interesting at the same time. It is a good drama with a happy ending of course, don't expect not since it will ruin all the plot. The newcomer Na min woo is OK here compare to "Midas" and "Full house 2 (which i find that drama is annoying and boring and predictable)". I laugh a lot while watching this drama, this is an entertainment that I need after feeling stressful at work especially the embarrassing scenes between the aunt and the director, each time the director appeared the background music is leslie cheung's. Good plot and a very entertaining drama.

The soundtrack sang by lee seung gi is really nice but singing is definitely not for shi min ah.

Every human being must watch!

[berkeryuceer · 10/10 · 29 October 2020]

This is by far the best tv series in the world as romantic comedy and I am not a fan of rom-coms. Those who managed to finish this series are not disappointed for sure but if you just leave it in the first 5 episodes you loose pretty much your humanity. It includes very much fun and every hurtfull moment is well chosen in the storyline. I have never cried in any movie or tv series or even at my father's funeral yet the final episode made me cry like a baby..

Fun supernatural story

[leahcubed · 8/10 · 27 January 2020]

If you are having a hard time finding this - be aware it is also titled My Girlfriend is a Nine tailed fox. The female lead, who is nicknamed "Mi-Ho" (Shin Min-Ah) is a legendary nine-tailed fox who is trapped in a painting after a failed attempt at romance 500 years before. She wants nothing more to than to find love and become part of the human world. The male lead, Cha Dae-Woong (Lee Seung-gi) is a spoiled grandson who is spending his college years spending his grandfather's money and patience. He is selfish and immature and the only focus he has is on becoming an action star. When a series of events leads to him releasing the Gumiho and needing her to preserve his life, his life becomes very complicated overnight. Suddenly he is forced to be responsible for and care for someone besides himself. His resentment over the situation results in a lot of pain and heartbreak for the Gumiho and leads her to rely heavily on another supernatural character Park Dong-joo (No min-Woo) who may or may not have her best interest at heart. Mi-Ho finds him appealing because he has found a way to successfully hide his true identity and live a life among humans. I thoroughly enjoyed this drama as it had a very unique story line, great character development and lots of twists and turns and surprises. It also had a fair amount of situation comedy which was also refreshing. I recognized the female lead but couldn't place her so I looked up her biography and found that she was the main female lead in another drama I enjoyed "Oh My Venus." The overall premise had a bit of a "Little Mermaid" vibe but was definitely a story uniquely its own. It had me on the edge of my seat to the end and I was really worried about how things might wrap up. It did not disappoint and I would recommend this one to anyone looking for a unique story line, romance, comedy, suspense and a supernatural element.

Unexpectable good!

[Mr_Avenger · 8/10 · 16 March 2024]

A fantasy drama based on a legend of a gumiho (fox with nine tails). The story has many funny moments. The main leads have great performances and their chemistry is notable! Dialogues and the plot are really solid and upgrade the whole series. Even the supporting roles don't seem boring.

The best part is the gradual develpment of every character during the 16 episodes, especially the male lead actor.

There are also many moral messages , concerning the difference, the loyalty and the love.

Worth to mention the OST. There are songs so catchy!

This drama really worth to watch it! It has everything. Laugh , cry , love.

Over rated show

[towying-65547 · 3/10 · 4 January 2022]

I love Shin Mina. But this drama is a pain to watch. However much I wanted to complete watching this drama, I am struggling to finish all the episodes and after many months, am still struggling at 9 episodes. It's a childish romance and the leads have no chemistry with each other at all. Story line is void of excitement or heartfelt romance and the male lead does not deserve Gumiho's love. I don't know why I am still not giving up the show except to want to know whether Gumiho will die in the end or live. Best not to start on this show as there are tons of better kdramas you can pick from.

Good fun!

[meemsyd · 9/10 · 21 December 2023]

The good: The plot is not action packed, but has twists and turns and good character development to keep you engaged throughout. Lead actors are charismatic, cute and expressive.

The not so good: Production quality is not great, especially compared with more recent Korean dramas but it kinda adds to the charm of it in a way. It's ridiculous in it's humour sometimes (which is pretty funny mostly!) but never in a gross-out way. A few aspects of the story are left a bit underexplained/unresolved at the end but nothing major. If you need a cinematic masterpiece, probably not up your alley.

Highly recommend this drama if you're looking for something lighthearted and fun, with a little bit of fantasy and angst. I found it just an easy, light, wholesome watch and would do it again!

Great Plot and story.Shin min ah steals the show

[murali-82761 · 9/10 · 9 August 2023]

"My Girlfriend is a Gumiho" is known for its lighthearted and comedic moments, blending fantasy with romance. The show explores themes of love, sacrifice, and the challenges of maintaining a relationship under unusual circumstances. The chemistry between the two leads, played by Lee Seung-gi and Shin Min-ah, adds depth to the story. The drama combines humor, drama, and fantasy elements, making it an engaging and enjoyable watch for those who enjoy romantic comedies with a supernatural twist. The story revolves around a college student named Cha Dae-woong who accidentally frees a gumiho named Mi-ho from a painting where she was trapped for 500 years. In exchange for saving his life, Mi-ho must consume his life force. To avoid this, they strike a deal to help her become human. As they spend time together, they develop a unique and heartwarming relationship.

Love it

[Afi_vaqar · 9/10 · 14 October 2020]

This drama is soooo cuteeeee and great ! I really enjoyed ! The cast is perfection omg !! Definitely a great drama to watch !!

Ordinary story and extraordinary portrayal

[unrivaledraj · 10/10 · 9 June 2022]

The story isn't new, especially for a korean drama. But that doesn't bring down the show one bit. Fabulous performances by both the leads, Shin min a is too damn cute and pretty and fresh throughout the show, never brings the show down and never annoys, which is a big plus in Kdramas, and I always loved lee seung gi, and knew he was a good actor, but damn he's quite good especially in the serious roles, and the last 2 episodes he really made me shed some tears, absolutely good.

Though the show could have been shorter, like 10-12 episodes were enough. But unlike other Kdramas you won't get bored in this stretch out, as it's cute and fun throughout the length. A 10 stars from me, because despite an ordinary story, the leads carried everything on their shoulders and did a fab job.

Romantic & Eerie Tale Where Love Transcends Differences

[cageronimolaw · 10/10 · 17 February 2024]

Another home run for the fantastic work of Lee Seung Gi and also Shin Min Ha. In fact, the entire cast did a great job! So many memorable moments, but Seung Gi was the magic flame. The plot was intriguing, novel, compelling & mysterious. All of the characters provided humor, wit, slap stick like comedy (passing wind in an elevator - is that sexy?). A roller coaster of a plot, maybe more like a Haunted House. There are so many memorable moments: Boar hunting, Dramatic Rescues, Meat, collecting boxtops, evil girlfriend, Chilly but Gorgeous Scary Vet, ...

Please watch this drama! You will not be disappointed. Pathos, comedy, scary tall villian with a hidden agenda, girlfriend from Hell, Director who searches for real action, ... Auntie & Grandpa. How could they live in that environment and not fall in love.

Watch it on Viki, as well.

I am rating this drama only because of Lee Seungi Gi

[naduprincezz · 9/10 · 5 October 2020]

I liked this drama alot. The acting was nicely done by Mi ho (Shin-min-Ah) and Cha Dae-woong(Lee Seungi Gi). I dont want to talk about other characters as this drama mainly focuses on these two characters. Mi-ho is very innocent as she is a gumiho and Cha Dae-woong is caring and lovable guy helping her out. So far I enjoyed this drama. This drama is light hearted romantic drama. I have seen people rating 1 for this drama and I dont think this is fair. This drama was aired on 2010 that is 10 years ago. At that time these kind of story and plot line was popular. If we will watch this drama today(2020) it will be cheesy ofcourse. So far I watched this drama twice (i.e 2010 back when I was in school and 2020 during lockdown) and i didnot find boring at all. It was fun to watch.

Foxy

[alaningle7 · 9/10 · 23 November 2020]

An aspiring actor accidentally releases a gumiho (9 tailed fox) in human form, who after saving his life has to stay with him. This is a very entertaining romantic drama with the best comedy moments coming from a director and the actors auntie. The script is very well paced and acting is excellent from all the cast particularly Shin Min-a who is totally enchanting.
