My Girlfriend is a Gumiho (2010)

This drama was really really really awesome! I loved the storyline, the characters, the music, everything!! It made me laugh, it made me cry, it made me hella mad. The characters were amazingly played well. I just have so many things to say about this drama and I can go on forever if I wanted to. The storyline is none like any other. I anticipated a new episode every week. I hated waiting so much though.......Shin Min Ah plays her character very well. You will totally love her in this drama. She is really really really cute. Lee Seung Ki is very handsome when he smiles.........No Min Woo is very hot here, hotter than Lee Seung Ki xp....The actors were very good and they had very good chemistry with one another (the 3 main characters). This drama gets you very happy and makes you laugh a lot. It is so cute and I can never stop saying that. It keeps its charm, cuteness, and humor throughout the drama and never bores you at all. You can never stop watching once you get into it. You will also cry so much near the ending! I really recommend this drama to everybody. It is very cute and funny that you will love it from the very start!

My girlfriend is a gumiho.

Awesome drama. I love it.

The plot was interesting and it was something new for me, so I decided to give it a try. The first episode was a bit boring in my opinion, but next episodes were awesome. It was so impressing and had a big impact for me.

At the beginning, Mi Ho annoyed me. I thought she was annoying, slutty and bossy. I'm happy I was wrong. I love her very much. The character is cute and innocent. She was always dressed in white dresses ^^. Sin Min A did a really great job. I think she really looks like a fox ^^.

Dae Wang was just too cute. I like his behavior changing. He was a spoiled brat, but he became a very responsible guy. Hehe ^^. Lee Seung Gi did an awesome job. Now I love him ^^.

Hye In annoyed me to death. She was so nasty and fake. She was too insistent, but she was somehow realistic in my opinion.

Dong Ju was cute, even if sometimes he annoyed me. Yea, I' too irascible, I know xD.

The OST was brilliant! Fox Rain is amazing! The lyrics are exceptional. It really makes me cry when I hear it. But it's.. awesome.

I enjoyed it very much. Now it's my favorite drama. The ending was exceptional. That's how a drama should end. It made me cry and laugh so easily. I love it.

I highly recommend it if you want something nice, with an interesting plot and good characters d(n_n)b.

My friend Mi Ho is a cute Gumiho...Hoy! Hoy!

‘My Girlfriend is a Gumiho’ is a fantasy slash romcom starring the oh so adorable Shin Min Ah and equally adorable Lee Seung Gi. One day, a Gumiho (affectionately and cleverly named Mi Ho) is set free by a rich chaebol named Cha Dae Woong. Afterwards, Mi Ho decided to stick to Dae Woong like superglue, first because she temporarily gives him her bead and later because she finds out she can become a human.

It has been a long time since I’ve had this fun while watching a Korean drama. Although the second half is very draggy and there were side characters that were annoying, overall I enjoyed this drama! The main focus of this drama is on Mi Ho trying to become human and the romance she shares with Dae Woong. Their relationship was by far the strongest aspect of this drama but it does fall victim to a lot of dumb tropes but I’ll forgive it since the drama is quite dated. Anyways, in hopes of not spoiling this drama I’ll just briefly describe the things I liked and disliked.

LIKES
Mi Ho: I didn’t think I would like this character because she was quite naive but it was that naivety that made me love her so much. She was naive but she was also strong, brave, sweet, playful, and a but feisty. The scenes where she insinuates that she wants to “eat” and “mate” with Dae Woong are hilarious. Shin Min Ah is truly shaping up to be one of my favorite actresses because all of her characters are so charming and lovable.

Dae Woong: I both love and hate him at the same time. Dae Woong is the typical rich arrogant chaebol who always gets what he wants. When he gets intertwined with Mi Ho his life is thrown into disarray. He did a lot of not so great things to Mi Ho but Lee Seung Gi played the character perfectly.

The romance between the movie director + Dae Woong’s aunt: Alright I fully expected that I would skip all their scenes because I don’t care for side couples but these two were just so chaotic and hilarious. Although their scenes had me cringing from second hand embarrassment they made me laugh a lot.

The OST: I know this drama came out in 2010 but I really enjoyed the OST. It was very catchy and I admittedly went on Spotify to download most of the songs.

DISLIKES
The second ML and second FL: Oh yikes, the SML and SFL were absolutely terrible. At the beginning I didn’t like them but I liked that it spiced the drama up but around the halfway point I was over it. They were so petty and annoying. Kudos to both Park Soo Jin and Noh Min Woo. They both played this characters excellently which is why, even though I wanted to punch the screen every time they appeared, I didn’t skip their scenes. Plus, by the end I went from loathing them to actually enjoying their presence which says a lot

The pacing: After episode 8 everything just got super draggy. I was still invested in the drama but I just grew tired of how slow it was going. I was mostly bored of the SML/SFL storylines and the melodramatic turn it took but luckily Mi Ho made up for it.

‘My Girlfriend is a Gumiho’ is a classic for a reason! Was it the most spectacular drama to ever exist? Absolutely not. Was it enjoyable and made me happy? Yes! That is why I’m rating it so high. I feel like I’ll definitely go back to rewatch some of the earlier episodes or the scenes where Mi Ho/Dae Woong are being all fluffy and soft.

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.

apart from being a supernatural movie, this drama has some comedy to it esp when it comes to the director and woong ah's aunt. he had a signature look his trenchcoat, glasses, toothpick and walk. when those two tried to interact it was the funniest thing. no min woo is mirror mirror on the wall, whos the fairiest of them all. and wats up with the specific music evrrrrrry time they showed min woo, hes too beautiful. i really loved the chemistry of the two it felt natural. seung ki may not be as good looking but hes a great actor mainly coz hes so good with emotional expressions and shin min ah was awsome too i even thought sometimes she was a gumiho. very funny and interesting show and the last episode i couldnt help but ball out soo emotional. the ost was also great and made it fun to watch.

I really loved this series! The story was unique, the acting was really good, and the music was really catchy. The only reason I wouldn't rate it perfect is there were a couple little parts that dragged. But otherwise, really good! The supporting characters were all great and the plot twists kept me guessing. My absolute favorite part, though, was No Min Woo as Dong Joo. That man is extremely nice to look at and a really good actor on top of that. He made his character really sympathetic and I kept waiting with bated breath for him to show up again. *happy sigh*

Anyway, I really enjoyed this series and will probably rewatch it eventually. ^_^

Overall story for this drama is really adorable and sweet. You never get to be bored anywhere also Lee Seung Gi was awesome in this drama with his hilarious acting. I loved his interactions with his grandfather who himself was really hilarious. Shin Min Ah was super adorable. I really loved her because of her innocent nature and love for almost everyone. Director Ban and Min Sook were love. They were seriously meant for each other and I loved them act like clumsy teenagers!!!
Now coming to my favorite Teacher Dong Jo. He was sooooo cool and only normal person on the show kekeke who unfortunately fell for Gumiho. His part is super sad, I wished he would have ended up with someone cool or just ANYONE because I do not like the idea of his being alone for another thousands of years TT-TT
Acting was so cute, funny and really good overall but for me Director Ban and Min Sook were best when it came to acting =p
Music was soooooooooo good. Especially 'Trap by No Minwoo' and its instrumental. I was goner for this one. Other OSTs were really lovely too =3
Rewatch value is 5 for all those scenes between Gumiho and Dae Wong because they were adorable together and funny too. A perfect comedic and romantic couple =3
Overall I gave 7.5 points just because I was super heartbroken because of Dong Joo and because the ending was a bit clumsy.

I watched this drama some weeks ago (the second time). I don't remember why I watched it in the first place but I don't regret watching it even a little bit.


Positive:
- The story had some new elements like the character of the Gumiho and the bead.
- I liked that the main characters were not mean or strong all the time (both of the main roles had their soft moments)
- I liked that the story was going smoothly and that there weren't any long term actions (something which troubles you for like three episodes)
- The music/ the props and the surroundings matched very well with the story and except for some effects everything was held simple. So the story seemed more realistic and funnier.


Negative:
- Sometimes the acting seemed quite exaggerated
- It follows the typical 'main roles in love but also some people who don't want them to get together' (if I say more it's a spoiler)
- I didn't get some points at the end (but that's more of my personal problem)


I think that the drama isn't a must-watch but you could at least try watching it because I think it is something you should know of.
I also recommend rewatching it, since, I think, the story remains quite interesting and funny even though you know how it ends.

The Hong sisters always make amazing dramas. This was the first asian drama I ever watched but I have watched 6 now and it is still my favorite. The only thing I didnt like was all of the action scenes during filming for Daewoong's movie. They became boring after a while. The sideplots in this drama were very funny. Daewoong's dog is so cute! All of the music in My Girlfriend is a Nine-Tailed Fox was excellent as well. They kept you as entertained as the main storyline. This drama was very depressing at times, especially near the end. However I was very happy with the ending.
