Cute and fluffy fantasy romcom

I love how this was a really light watch. It's fun and enjoyable. No need to think a lot and every episode just makes you happy. Although it has a fantasy element, it was not that serious and somehow I was reminded of the classic "My Girlfriend Is A Gumiho" with their uncannily similar titles. It has the same feel to it and I really loved that series too.

Hyeri aces this role. She just have this natural comedic vibe in her. She's not afraid to make silly facial expressions and she does not try hard in making those faces. Jang Ki Yong played his gumiho role who is 999 years old really well too. He acted like a grandpa lol. Both of them made this dynamic work and they exude really awesome chemistry together. I just naturally smile with them in their moments together.

I like the other casts too. With Dam's friends and Hye Sun in the mix, it makes it more enjoyable and Dam is a really relatable character too. Cohabitation hijinks is a cliche that I'm on board with. I rarely get SLS and this one was not an exception. I was team gumiho all the way. And although Sun Woo did not get a chance (and couldn't understand when the FL says she doesn't have feelings for him), I think the actor played his character really well. It also helps that he's cute. I hope to see more of him in his future projects.

Overall, I'll definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to enjoy a cute romcom.
