Somewhere on Earth
The title should be My Boyfriend Is a Gumiho
Here are my thoughts about this drama :
1) MRIAG is a light-hearted and quite entertaining rom -com drama. It was basically a story of a gumiho 's journey to become a human and find love along the way. Suitable drama to watch if you are in the mood of watching a sweet romance story but not as overdone and as cringeworthy as..*cough cough* ...the romance in What's Wrong with Secretary Kim. The romance has just a perfect amount of sweetness. *chef's kiss* I cracked up alot watching our 1st and 2nd couple.
2) Actually the first half of this drama was quite boring to me, it made me remember the reasons why I rarely watch rom-com these days. But like someone said to me , the story indeed became more enjoyable for the last half of the drama . Personally I think episode 9 -10 were very good. But episode 11 -12, I started to feel bored again. Thanks god! I had so much fun watching episode 13 till the finale.
3) Excellent a 10/10 for humor scenes , I felt they were genuine, unlike my experience with ...*cough cough* Vincenzo.
4) 9/10 for the acting of all casts. Dam was a bold ,funny girl and I liked her, alot. Hyeri did an impressive job with her acting here. I noticed that she was great with all her facial expressions . Whether it be an angry face or annoying face or making ugly face or embarassing face, she excelled in all. I could see no other actress can be as perfect as her as Dam. Jang Ki Yong as Shin Woo Yeo , his acting was as expected. He was good in his potrayal of a smart, brooding and taciturn 999 years old male gumiho. A very typical ML character right.... As a couple ,I guess they complement each other .Kang Ha Na also did a very good job as Yang Hye Sun . A quirky, funny and elegant 700 years old ex- female gumiho. She was my favourite. I liked her synergy with Kim Do Wan who potrayed Do Jae Jin. He was a naive and such a crybaby character but so adorable though. He really cried alot I think more than the girls here lol. These two made a very cute and sweet couple to see. I think Park Kyung Hye as Choi Soo Kyung such a waste of a character in this one. She had so much potential to be this hilarious and entertaining character but it was pity that the writers did'nt fully used her to her potential like they did with Hye Sun's and Jae Jin's character. Like her bestfriends, I wish she have her own developing love storyline too . Most of the times, she was just there to be Dam's companion whenever she had relationship problem or became a third wheel in the scenes. I felt sad for her character when that happened.
5) I really enjoyed watching Woo Yeo - Hye Sun frenemy scenes. It was hilarious to see they were always arguing whenever they met. The mean things they said towards each other... those what keep this drama alive . Apparently , they could not stand the present of each other but could not stay away because the other was their only friend for the past 700 years lol
6) Because I am so used to the present of villain character in most dramas I have watched , it was like a fresh breath of air to see this drama had no such evil being. Only we had these annoying duo of girls that appeared not so often because they were insignificant. This drama proved that not every drama need to have villain to be entertaining to the fullest.
7) Drama OSTs were okay. I guess they flowed well with the story but nothing outstanding.
Last but not least, watch this drama if rom-com is your forte or like me, if you need a break from all thriller, crime, investigation dramas that you usually see.
