Nae Yeojachinguneun Gumiho

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 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 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 :)

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.
