Romcom > Fantasy
This drama was a funny and laid-back one that you can watch with a light heart and without stress just as Kang Han-Na said in their interview.This is adapted from a webtoon with the same title. And with regards to that, I have nothing to say as I haven't read the webtoon yet.
I can assure you that the actors' chemistry was over the roof! Your heart will burst from their fluttering interactions. Even off-cam and on interviews their chemistry is tremendous. I expected that some scenes will be very cliche as this is a romcom but I was surprised the scenes were creative, well-made, and very high in quality.
I was also surprised by our female lead's attitude as she is very straightforward. Her fashion style was also lovely!
The OSTs were great and remarkable that every time you hear that song it will be nostalgic after watching the drama. They also played a BGM which was very cutesy and nice that made the scene more heartwarming.
I only got dissatisfied with one thing; there were problems left hanging but then I understand as those were not very crucial. But over that, I enjoyed the drama a lot and it made me very ecstatic.

Amazing!
Omg!!! This was probably one of the best kdramas I’ve seen in a long time!!! This was amazing! I’m so sad to see it end!! The actors they casted for every single role was fantastic, especially for Woo Yeo!! The only things I would say tho is that I wish we could have seen Sookyung and Seok’s romance blossom in the middle of the drama like Jaejin and Hye Sun!! Other than that I loved this drama so much! It had the perfect blend of Comedy, Romance, and even Sadness!! I wish there was a 2nd season, but I kinda liked how it ended!! Overall I HIGHLY recommend watching this drama!! It doesn’t matter if you don’t like fantasy show’s or not!! THIS IS WORTH IT!!!Was this review helpful to you?
Entertaining
It was a nice drama with lots of comedy, I would recommend it if you are looking for a light story.At first I was really hooked with the characters and the main couple, but I slowly started to lose interest in them. To be honest the ML had a kind of bland personality while the FL was great, she was lively, fun and determined. Their love story wouldn´t have worked if not for all her effort.
The story was predictable but overall entertaining.
The best thing for me were the side characters, the friendship between them was hilarious to watch.

Crazy show with crazy, out-of-the-world chemistry between the leads
I'm the type if person who mostly watch kdramas for leisure, that's it. But these romcom made me do crazy things such as create my own twitter account, everyday check on feeds regarding MRIAG, watch all clips on IQIYI and actually stan the actors on their IG accounts.I wouldn't say this was the best that I watched in 2021 (as there are an array of REALLY good kdramas currently airing such as HP and PWIL -but they are of diff genre) , however the memory of these show leaves a warm fuzzy feeling and a smile on my face.
Not the "best" i watched for all years of watching kdramas, but I'd say this is among my TOP 10 and is the BEST ROMCOM of all time for me.
By the way, did I mention the leads have electrifying chemistry on and off screen?
'Cause they do. Check it out!

HUMANS CAN DECIDE THEIR OWN FATE
If there's a lot on your plate and you can't decide what to watch next i guess My roomate is a gumiho can be the one. The drama was sweet . tbh I enjoyed the second leads more than the main ones. While continuing the drama I found sometimes the drama was too slow or dragging , I felt few episodes some parts to be boring enough or irrelevant for the drama but other than that I absolutely loved the drama how the way it went. The ending was wrapped was so beautifully , we got to see so many couples paired up at the end except one but it was meaningful enough to let go of your loved ones. In , True Beauty , how bad we felt for the 2nd lead you might feel that too. The story revolved around fate , destiny , multiple separation between the main leads which was quite frustrating enough but at the same time funny at times too , the female lead made so wrong decision at times .Ok so why I gave 8 overall because I felt some how the chemistry lacked between the main lead and even sometimes the female lead went really out of the box to leave him at bad times maybe her character was portrayed as to be naive or dumb but she was fun too . I once again say that I loved the 2nd lead more. THE WHOLE DRAMA WAS EXACTLY OR JUST SIMILAR TO MY MAN IS CUPID . If you are watching this drama after My man is cupid yk what i mean. As I said there were good scenes but something was missing in this whole drama the entire . u are good to go for a 1 watch but I won't really rewatch it
That's how I felt the entire time

A 1000 Years Old Charming Gumiho
Since this drama remained beautiful, interesting and entertaining in its entirety, from episode 1 to episode 16, then I will simply repeat my initial impression from episode 1.How can I say this using the most simplest words in the English dictionary…?
I simply loved this drama.
What a world of difference between “My Roommate is a Gumiho” and “Doom at Your Service.”
From A to Z… The writing, the casting, the general acting, the directing and THE COMICAL LINES were on point.
I am so happy that I waited for the full completion before I started it.
My Roommate is a Gumiho has become my third favorite Gumiho’s storyline after…
- Gu Family Book
- Gumiho: Tale of the Fox's Child

A Hell Of A Ride
Really enjoyed the drama initially, Woo Yeo and Dam were very fun to watch. I'm a little dissapointed with some of the choices made in their relationship as it got closer to the end (Woo Yeo is jealousy is just too much to bare). I adored the supporting cast and the college life, it was a real joy to see that and I couldn't help but reminisce of my college days pre-pandemic. The couples and friendships were the real stunners of this show honestly, *chefs kiss*. Check out my full review here: https://youtu.be/jiBQA0tZfM8Was this review helpful to you?
Satisfying to watch and bingeworthy!
As someone who really liked the webtoon that the show was based on, I was really satisfied with the first two episodes. Although there were some cuts that I found awkward and a bit cringy, I think the show is worth watching. The casting was also PERFECT. I loved Lee Hye Ri in Reply 1988 so I guess I'm a bit biased, but casting her for Lee Dam was genius. She nailed all the scenes that made me laugh in the webtoon as well. Kang Han Na was also superb and brought a different side to her character which really surprised me (the good kind of surprise). I also liked Lee Dam's relationship with the two male leads. I haven't decided which male lead I like more yet. Anyway, if you want something light-hearted and funny. Watch it!(Side note: Honestly, I highly recommend putting it off or saving episodes first so you can binge watch it. I'm dying to watch the next episodes now and I hate how I have to wait for more episodes.)

FUNNY AS HELL
I think that if you find the genres of romance and fantasy interesting you'll like this drama. It gives me very much DAYS vibes maybe combined with some aspects of Goblin so as a reference if you liked the two dramas I previously mentioned, you'll most likely enjoy this too.This drama has a nice plot (as far as I can tell from the six episodes that have aired) and I believe it will get more interesting as one new character seems to be joining the story. Im really hoping for a nice and happy ending :) (UNLIKE YOU KNOW WHICH FANTASY-ROMANCE DRAMA THAT AIRED IN 2016!!!)
AHHH important note: you will laugh soooooo much in every episode.
Once again, I'm reviewing about the six episodes that have aired, so if you're reading this from the future and it gets boring or somebody dies (GOD PLEASE NO) please dont blame me!! and gooooo watch it rn!!!!!
PS: My only complaint is that it's still airing and I like to bingeeeeee
PS #2: I'm wathing on viki if you're wondering :)))

worst kdrama i've watched
Honestly, this drama was pretty bad. It was boring and I just can't stand the ML face he's not handsome. The FL is annoying she's trying way too hard to be funny. I forced myself to watch it, because of the good reviews. Kdramas are becoming disapoiting this days.The FL should have chosen the SML he's way more handsome and interesting than the ML. Don't waste ur time on this one. You'll be disapointed.
I've never seen a character as annoying as the FML. She's not even pretty but she's acting like she's better than everyone else. She got way too much attitude.

Drama I thought I would love..
It really started off good. I like FL characterization and I don't where it lost but i lost idea of continuing this drama. I feel like it might be an overrated drama or fantasies are just not for me. I really not sure what I know is that this was not for me. AND YES I LEFT IT IN THE MIDDLE.Was this review helpful to you?
Highly recommended
I wasn’t sure what to expect but after reading some raving reviews about it, I decided to give a try. And it’s a pleasant surprise. It’s a refreshing blend of mystery, fantasy, romance, etc. I certainly didn’t expect to laugh aloud at Hyeri’s comedic antics and gestures at episode 2. Almost had me in tears. Yes, indeed Jang Ki Yong is not your average gumiho. He is polite, composed, poised and charming. Wait till he meets Lee Hyeri, goofy, unrefined, unpolished with a heart of gold. Both of them shine in their roles. Bae In Hyuk is wow. Where did he come from? And all other supporting casts are equally good. Tune in for more!Was this review helpful to you?
