My Roommate Is a Gumiho (2021)

Cute love story

I like this drama but i dont know what, there is somthing i could't give 10 out of 10 marks for this drama. i think tht becoz there r no confusing part. i mean it is like, when we watchng drama we feel like, ' oh wht is going to hpnd next ' and start to feeling curiosity about next part. but i did not feel tht in this drama.. but i must say i did not feel bored at all... i watchd dramas without hesitating.. n i dont like end episode its not written well.

As for actors i laught too much for some of lee dam's scenes some time's her acting and her face expressions rememberd me lee yi kyung ( lee joon ki in welcome to wikiki) and woo yeo also did great job he is soooo cute when he smile i love it... he is cute when he is jelous ❤️❤️❤️ and all other cast members also did their best for character

Overall good drama..

POX

this series is one of the best drama, I ever seen! I highly recommend it. It’s another Gumiho drama but this is different this drama will really make you laugh till your stomach hurts and it will also make your heart flatters as well. as he journeys on becoming a human you will see how their love story unfolds from an accidental encounter to lovers and how they manage to stay strong in spite the odds. on top of that Yang Hye-Sun-Shin Woo-Yeo bickering and Yang-Do Jae love story added more colors on this drama what I mean is it's very humorous that will light up your day. really! I can't get over of the word "POX" this really makes me LMAO...

Masterful writing

One of the best drama ever. From the beginning to the end, it was thrilling, suspenseful, and interesting to watch. There was never a moment when I thought this was not a good drama.

All of the characters especially Dam and her friends were super relatable. I felt as if they were living similar life as me but with supernatural elements in it.

I just love everything from the beautiful tune (sound like water drops with nostalgia feeling attracted to it) to the masterful writing piece.

At the end, Shin Woo: “Miss Dam, you were supposed to keep the marble, not fall in love with its owner.”
Dam: “You were supposed to steal my energy, not my heart.” It was great how it ended the way it started.

All of the actors played their role excellently.

It was quite grounded for a fantasy drama.

So first thing first, I don't think this is a 'woah, this deserves a daesang' sort of drama, no, it's pretty simple and slow but I kinda like it.
If you are like me and really enjoy a romantic drama without anything dramatic inconveniencing it (ie. mother-in-laws, superficial childhood traumas, family debts where the main lead's family did something wrong to the other, ceo of a company,
unreasonable unforbidden love... the usual) then I think you should give this one a try. Not to say there won't be a reason keeping our main apart, but it will feel reasonable and will be overcome.
Now I know I said it's grounded in reality for a fantasy drama and I stand by it. It's sort of realistic in a sense where the main don't really fight for the stupidest reasons, they are open and honest with each other and their love feels earned. It's nice to watch them enjoy the small things in life, not going after an imminent villain that they have to have a showdown with at the end.

Which leads me to my second point, the lack of an actual villain was really a good thing for me, I know halfway there is the gumiho turned evil spirit but they were only there for half an episode. I like that the fact that the main being a gumiho kept them apart and it felt quite realistic.

But then, without a looming threat to overcome, i think this drama would have been better if it had been shortened. It didn't really need a full 16 episodes, I feel like it would have been better shorter, excluding the whole thing with the evil spirit gumiho. (Also some of the episodes' climaxes were hit in the middle of said episodes ,I'd get up to start a new episode thinking, this is probably gonna be a cliffhanger, only to find out I haven't even finished half of the episode)
It dragged on some episodes that should have been dealt with in 1 episode but stretched into 3 full episode ( the whole Lee Dam acting like she had lost her memory...) and the whole "I'm a gumiho, you're human, we can't be together" thing starts to become very repetitive.

In the end anyways, the supporting characters and the others have good plots on their sides that are interesting and even the main leads are great, they have really good chemistry that make you forget the pacing of the show. The two other supporting roles Do Jaejin and Yang Hyesun are a cute couple in the making and I just loved seeing how expressive Kim Dowan was as Do Jaejin. It's nice to see men allowed to cry on screen.
I also liked the cameos, and although I love Go Kyung Pyo with all my heart but Han Ji Eun and Kang Mina were my favorites (honorable mentions, Jung Somin and Kim Doyeon).

In conclusion if you want to feel fluffy and lonely because you don't have a boyfriend/girlfriend , I recommend this sweet and soft drama, you're just gonna have to deal with the pacing a little bit

As someone who read the webtoon, I was slightly disappointed since the trailer came out. You know those rom-coms that are kinda bad but you still watch them because they're entertaining? This drama was kinda like that except it wasn't all that entertaining. I pretty much finished this drama just so I could've finished another drama. The acting was disappointing with both leads, definitely no hate to Hyeri and Jang Ki Yong. I've watched their other dramas and I know how great they are at their jobs but this one didn't quite do it for me. To be completely honest, I liked the sub couple a lot more than the main.

My Roommate is a Gumiho

This was a well-produced drama. A great main & supporting cast, an amazing OST, a good plot & the humor was the best part of this drama. Hye Sun stole the show from everyone because she was definitely the best character. She kept the show afloat when the main leads decided they wanted to be a drag during some parts. I usually love only focusing on the main lead relationship, but it was fun to watch her developing romance with Jae Jin who was another highlight of the drama.

Onto the leads, Jang Ki Yong & Lee Hye Ri had great chemistry, and their kiss scenes were top-tier. I absolutely loved the silly dynamic in their relationship that kept things interesting. The only thing I did not care for was her calling him sir.

I LOVED IT!! 9/10

one of the best drama of 2021

I don't care what people said but just know I didn't start watching this drama because of Hyeri or Ki Young. Honestly, I didn't know them much before this series. I don't like how people that we watch this drama just because of the leads. I watch this because of the interesting storyline and Gumiho :) and maybe because of Kang Hanna too. And pls this series is soooo much better than DAYS. This series wrapped up their storyline so perfectly and the purpose of the storyline was there. Ki Young and Hyeri chemistry was hella cute!! I FREAKING LOVE THEM. Shin Woo Yeo is literally one of the best Gumiho omg!! I want him!! And I love that the second lead couple had a lot of screen time. Even tho there are things that could have been better like Kang Hanna's character's past story. I wish they explain further and deeper on that. Anyways, the chemistry between all the cast were so perfect. I really freaking love everyone well maybe except the second male lead. I'm never fond second male leads. Anyway, this is worth the watch anytime!! So watch this and you won't regret it <3

Charming Fantasy Romcom Alert

This drama is a delightfully enchanting fantasy romcom, full of likable characters and laugh-out-loud moments. You'll definitely develop a girl crush on both Lee Hyeri and her character, Lee Dam. Hyeri really shines with her well-written role, and what's great about her is how authentic she is. She plays her part with natural ease and isn't afraid to dive into the silly, embarrassing moments that others might shy away from. Her girl-next-door charm makes her totally believable as a college student, and it's easy to see why the male leads are so taken with her.

Jang Ki Yong nails it as the 999-year-old nine-tailed fox, Shin Woo Yeo. His cold demeanor perfectly shows the weariness of someone who's been around for centuries. His chemistry with Hyeri is electric, capturing the classic "opposites attract" vibe.

The second couple, played by Kang Han Na and Kim Do Wan, is just as fun to watch. Kang Han Na is especially impressive as an air-headed former nine-tailed fox with a heart of gold. Her comedic antics and sibling-like rivalry with Jang Ki Yong's character add an extra layer of fun to the show.

Like many fantasy romcoms, the "forced separation" part got a bit dull, but it didn't drag on too long. All in all, this drama is a must-watch if you're looking for a mix of humor, charm, and enchanting fantasy. It hits all the right notes, making it a delightful addition to the genre.

10/10 Awesome K-Drama to Watch Especially for Fans of Fantasy Rom-Coms!!!

The story is awesome!! It has fantasy with rom-com and a little bit of thriller which makes the plot interesting. The whole drama doesn't actually focus on the fact that the female main character is going to die in a year if the Marble isn't taken out by then. Also the scenes at school are realistic as you do usually see fake friends and players. Plus the friendship whether with the trio (Lee Dam, Do Jae-jin, and Choi Soo-kyung) or the love/hate friendship between Shin Woo-yeo and Yang Hye-sun are actually interesting and hilarious. Quite different from most gumiho dramas, this one is light-hearted. Add along the OSTs which perfectly fit into the drama!

DAMN ROM COM DONE RIGHT

July 23, 2021

My Roommate is a Gumiho, is a rom-com done right. Like the executions are just there. So huge shoutout to the directors and producers and to the casts too!!! Sure one of the cons with fantasy rom-com is the plot doesn't make sense in some parts. But to be honest, the plot holes did not bother me. Like I barely noticed it. I think I only remembered the problems now as I am writing this review. ALSO, I do wish that they gave more room on the other couples or "ships". I feel like the secondary characters were robbed of some screen time. Sure I love, Mr. Fox and Dam's chemistry and their relationship. But man I really wanted to see more of the START UP couple, like their side story is just way too cute. And also with Dam's girl best friend and her senior. I really wanted to see more of their development. LIKE OMG DIRECTORS THESE TWO SIDE COUPLES CAN NEED TO STAR IN THEIR OWN SERIES CAUSE I NEED MORE. THIS AIN'T IT. BRUH I AM ACTUALLY SO SAD. I HOPE THESE ACTORS AND ACTRESSES CAN HAVE THEIR OWN PROJECTS WHERE THEY ARE THE LEAD, THE CHEMISTRY IS JUST SO GOOD. THAT IT WILL BE A WASTE IF THEY DON'T STAR IN THEIR OWN SERIES. 😭

So besties, watch this drama it's so loveable and hilarious. Props to Hyeri and her character, since this is one of the few female leads who can actually speak her mind and is not a doormat. Also, I just love how loveable and not annoying her character is. She is strong, cries sometimes but not those losers female lead like ugh 😩 I hate those kinds of FL but Dam's character is just too good. Please directors more FL like her.

I guess that's a wrap for this review too. ahahaha
Enjoy!!!
