My Girlfriend is a Gumiho

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.

"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.

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..

"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 :)

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!!!!!!!
