Great Start

Way to start with a bang!

Funny story- I tried watching this show about 6 months ago, and dropped it because I didn't think it was interesting enough. After seeing the first episode again though, I'm quite excited to watch this.

I really love Lee Joon Gi, and he's performing just as well as I expect him to. I've never watched any of Shin Min Ah's previous roles, but I'm honestly quite in love with her at the moment. Eun Oh really isn't that nice, but he sure is funny. Arang is quirky and an absolute joy to see on screen. It's nice to see a woman who takes charge of her own life (death?) and does what she wants. She's the kind of female lead I can really root for (which is REALLY rare for me).

It looks like we've got a very typical, "Corrupt official is a jerk to the people," thing going on (it is a sageuk, after all), which I don't mind, but it seems to be the only conflict writers of sageuk dramas ever seem to crank out. Hopefully the inclusion of ghosts will spice things up a bit.

The special effects are really nice compared to the cheesy, poorly done stuff I've seen in other dramas (namely "Scholar Who Walks the Night", where the super-speed and wire-jumping all over the place literally made me laugh). I have to say though that the King of Heaven and King of Hell were... kind of hilarious. There will never be a day that I can take either one of them seriously.

This show is off to a great start, and I'm looking forward to what will happen next.

Great Drama

I put off watching this for years despite all the reviews saying it was great. I just thought I wasn't going to appreciate it as much in earlier times. I am glad I waited until now. I can give this my full appreciation.

After Scholar Who Walks the Night, I was looking for something to watch and picked this because of a comment on Viki saying Lee Joon Gi's costume on Scholar is similar here. This is true. In Arang, my personal opinion is that he acts better as well.

This show captured me in the first minute - Lee Joon Ki's character is so funny. His assistant was the one who caught me though. That guy lol. His first line is about poop hahahaha. This episode was so funny but you can see the plot building being done gently but firmly. It's not serious yet, but I can see the potential. Meanwhile, I am so enjoying Arang getting the upper hand on her Magistrate. I love her character. She is so much more than a helpless female. As a ghost she can do what she likes and behave how she wants. What freedom.

Great Start :)

The first episode just leaves you wanting more. The chemistry between Lee Jun Ki and Shin Min Ah is great from the start. So glad oppa is back and can't wait to see how this drama develops.

Love It!

Shin Min Ah and Lee Jun Ki are back! I love them both and I couldn't stop watching from the starting. It's so cute and funny, I love their chemestry together. This has to be the best show airing (aside from Bridal Mask)I'm in love with this series already! I love Shin Min Ah as Gumiho but I love how she's so playful here too. This is definitely going to be good can't wait for next ep!

It's Here..

...and it's happening! I simply LOVED the first episode of Arang. Shin Min Ah is just fabulous--Arang has a similar comedic timing to her as Gumiho did.

The episode, as a whole, gave us a good build up to the series. If the rest of the series is as witty and gorgeous as this, I'm pretty sure it's going to be a winner!

Perfect

It's perfect. Just when I said nothing could be better than My gf is a gumiho..they offer..Aarang, and she's beautiful and sassy. I just saw the 1th episode but I can predict that this will be a great series.
