A Disney Delight.
I'm not jesting with the title. This drama strongly reminded me of a Disney movie. If it wasn't for Park Dong Ju, the entire drama would completely lose any sense of seriousness.
Don't get me wrong. The drama as a whole is a treat. We have Dae Woong, a spoilt jock, who runs away after his grandfather threatens to send him off to military school. While seeking shelter from the rain at temple, a gumiho tricks him into setting her free. Grateful for his help, she heals him off his injuries using her fox bead after he tumbles down a hill.
A shocked Dae Woong finds himself followed by the supernatural creature, whom he nicknames Gu Mi Ho. Unbeknowest to him, Park Dong Ju spins a plan of his own to get the gumiho back to her own realm.
I have to give it to the cast -- everyone where portrayed to a tee. I don't know who is styled Dae Woong, but he had the worst hairstyle in this drama. Or was it a trend in older KDramas?
I loved every single character, including minor ones like Byung Soon, Dae Woong's best friend. I loved the little friendships and relationships in this one. Gu Mi Ho and Dae Woong are the paradigm of innocent romance. It was funny, heartwarming, sometimes cringey, but endearing.
Gu Mi Ho was absolutely adorable. I've seen Shin Min Ah in Hometown Cha Cha Cha, but had to drop it as it did not interest me much. Also, shoutout to the Director and Aunty Min Sook for being the comic relief. Episode 4 with the wall scene will always be a memorable one. The villain, Park Dong Ju, was a well played character. He would've had my support, if he hadn't been stuck deep in his own prejudices.
The drama dragged unnecessarily after EP8 or so. Which is why this lost it's chance to score a solid 8. But, I can see why this is appealing to many out there. You don't get much stress free minus all the angsty dramas out there anymore.
