Meu Colega de Quarto é um Gumiho (2021)

AINDA BEM QUE EU NÃO DROPEI ISSO

O casal principal tem uma química incrivel, amei muito ver eles (mesmo q muitas vezes uma comunicação do lado de nosso Gumiho poderia ter evitado umas coisinhas)

* O Seon woo foi um personagem muito mal utilizado, no começo com a coisa do tigre e ele se apaixonando pela Dam quando o objetivo era fazer ela se apaixonar por ele foi ótimo e muito divertido, mas começando com a coisa dos encontros como trabalho começou a descer a ladeira, ficar mais insistente, desrespeitoso, muitas e MUITAS tentativas de se declarar pra ela q obviamente n resultaram em nada, mesmo ele achando q o Oruchin n era a melhor pessoa pra Dam - sendo que NÃO cabe a ele decidir com quem ela deve ficar e ele sabendo q ela tava namorando e mesmo assim insistido??? Péssimo, SEM FALAR NAQUELA HISTÓRIA DE FIO VERMELHO Q UE SO FOI PRA ENCHER LINGUIÇA, assim que o plot novo apareceu ( mármore azul não é energia mas humanidade ) ele sumiu por um episódio inteiro (só mostrando o quanto foi desnecessário arrastar esse plot) e quando voltou no próximo ep foi so pra ele desistir do sonho dele de fazer história pra se mudar pro exterior??? Deviam ter acabado cm esse personagem MUITO antes, só fizeram ele sofrer ATÉ O FINAL;

* O final foi MUITO dramático mas muito lindo também então compensa, assim como vi no insta de uma conta que não lembro o nome, eles souberam utilizar muito bem o último episódio fazendo nós sofrermos bastante -> resolver o problema e depois mais umas cenas deles felizes pra deixar o coração quentinho de novo - foi algo muito bem usado durante boa parte do dorama (com exceção do plot com o Seon-woo) eles não deixaram algo arrastar por muito tempo e era rapidamente consertado;

* Eu amo a relação entre nossos ex-gumihos, agem como crianças/irmãos mas chegando pro final dá pra ver o quanto se importam um com o outro parece, uma relação saudável entre homens e mulheres onde n tem romance envolvido é tudo pra mim

* O quão bem desenvolvidos são os personagens secundários (e o romance da Hye-Sun e o Jae-jin é MARAVILHOSO DE SE VER )

* Odeio isso de formar casal no último episódio sem nenhum desenvolvimento mas a cena do irmão da Dam e da irmã do Seo-woo de arco e flecha foi tudo (a parte de namoro foi engraçada mas completamente desnecessária)

*Queria ter visto mais da amiga da Dam e o carinha bonito lá, uma pena isso não ter tido mais tempo pra eles

Prepare-se para morrer de inveja da mocinha

Pra começar, tramas de gumiho eu sempre procuro assistir porque amo fantasia e romance no mesmo pacote, acho uma das melhores receitas para dramas que nos façam flutuar e suspirar enquanto assistimos.
Bom, vou pensar no que eu gostaria de saber antes de decidir assistir esse drama.
Pra começar, a relação entre o casal principal não é cheia de tensão, sofrimento, imaturidade, mocinho sendo babaca, mocinha não tendo atitude, etc. É uma relação que começa casual, na base da amizade e da cumplicidade entre eles.
O mocinho é um espetáculo a parte, lindo, gentil, educado, atencioso, enfim, ele trata mocinha muito bem do começo ao fim do drama.
A mocinha é alegre, decidida, esperta, e ela sempre o compreende com facilidade, não fica aquela coisa forçada de conflitos que começam em algo banal. Eles resolvem as coisas com diálogo e honestidade, e só isso já conta muitos pontos né.
Sobre outros personagens, eu amei a Hye Sun, e fiquei muito grata com o fato de não ser mais uma típica trama de rivalidade feminina. A gente vê ela entre as principais e já pensa na possibilidade de ela ser a chata do rolê, mas não é isso, galera. Nem de longe. Ela é linda, maravilhosa, excêntrica, e sempre ajuda nosso casal principal. Sério, fazia tempo que eu não gostava tanto de uma segunda protagonista feminina. Ela arrasou.
Sobre o friendzone, nesse drama ele existe, mas não é uma coisa forçada pelo menos. Infelizmente não o vi como uma personagem bem trabalhada, ele começa conflitante e depois seu papel se resume a correr atrás da mocinha, mas pelo menos isso nos rende bons momentos do nosso protagonista lindo sofrendo com ciúmes. É meninas, se até ele que é quase um deus sente ciúmes, quem somos nós para não sentir, né?
O drama tá repleto de cenas fofas, e também tem umas que fazem a gente voltar pra ver de novo de tão lindo que é. Logo no começo (não acho isso um spoiler) há um momento em que ele recita um verso pra mocinha na cafeteria, e eu me senti que nem ela ali, sem palavras, impactada. Ao menos pra mim, essa foi a virada de chave, o momento que eu senti "meu deus, esse homem é perfeito". E olha que eu não costumo ser dessas que só fica babando no oppa, eu dou muita prioridade a trama, mas dessa vez eu fui pega desprevinida. Enfim, me apaixonei.
Os dois possuem muita química, são muito fofos juntos, e você vai torcer o tempo todo pra ambos conseguirem ficar juntos.
Você também torce pras outras personagens, os amigos da mocinha e também a deusa da Hye Sun. As relações nesse dorama são todas leves, amizade de verdade, trocas sinceras, eu não vi coisas pesadas e tóxicas. Eu não vi a necessidade de avançar quadros em algumas cenas (coisa que faço em alguns dramas) porque tudo era fácil de acompanhar, foi atrativo e uma experiência de deixar o coração quentinho.
Enfim, assistam sem medo de ser feliz, e quem sabe vocês também não se apaixonem como eu.

Ainda não superei que não verei a minha raposinha mais

Ainda não descobri o motivo, mas o drama me prendeu muito e acabou se tornando o meu favorito. Talvez tenha sido a atuação dos atores, que deram vida aos personagens de tal maneira que me fez amar cada momento do enredo, ou tenha sido a própria história em si, que por mais clichê que seja foi muito linda de assistir.

Logo no primeiro episódio já conseguimos perceber que além de sofrer com toda a história da "raposa astuta" em querer se tornar humano, vamos também rir bastante com as caras e bocas que a Lee Dam faz. Esse é aquele tipo de comédia romântica que te faz desejar viver algo parecido - é claro, sem a parte de gumiho de quase mil anos ou qualquer coisa do gênero. Quando me refiro a isso, quero dizer que, os atores souberam mostrar a paixão e tiveram BASTANTE química. Deu até uma certa invejinha da Dam com o seu "Senhor" quando eles começaram a demonstrar sentimentos um pelo o outro.

Mas nem toda história é tão perfeita assim... O que me deixou completamente desconfortável foi o fato de terem colocado aquele amor unilateral envolvendo a Dam e o Sun-woo. Quem assistiu provavelmente percebeu o quão persistente ele foi, por mais que ela o ignora-se ou fala-se que não tinha interesse, ele simplesmente não desistia em uma falsa esperança de conseguir algo. E para piorar a situação, enfiaram aquele papo do fio vermelho entre os dois. Juro que nesse momento até minhas pernas tremeram por pensar que minha raposinha favorita não ia virar humano coisa nenhuma e que a Dam ia ficar com o outro. Porém, graças ao divino, o enredo não seguiu nesse sentido!

Outra coisa que não posso esquecer de comentar é o fato do casal secundário ter me deixado aquecidinha em todas as cenas que estavam juntos. Foi um relação que eu sabia que daria certo bem antes de qualquer interação entre os dois, justamente por eles não terem qualquer interesse em comum. De cara achamos que a Hye-sun é uma garotinha mimada e toda cheia de si, mas logo percebemos que ela é um amor de pessoa, e o Jae-jin se passa por alguém atrapalhado e despreocupada com tudo, mas na verdade é bem focado e preocupado com os amigos e a família. Eles formaram um casal perfeito e adorável demais para o meu coração todo sensível.

Enfim, obrigada Jae-jin por ter bebido muito e ter esbarrado no carro do Woo-yeo, porque só foi necessário isso para o meu casal número um ter se conhecido e virado o drama mais fofo que tive o prazer de acompanhar.

Vai fazer falta!!!!

Esse dorama foi simplesmente maravilhoso! Eu amei do começo ao fim. Todos os episódios foram incríveis, em nenhum momento a história ficou maçante e tediosa. A comédia foi perfeita, não foi forçada e me tirou muitas risadas. O romance também maravilhoso. Conseguiu me envolver e me fez derreter. E o melhor é que tiveram dois casais fofíssimos no dorama: o protagonista e um secundário que só deixou a história mais divertida.
Eu amei muito. Fiquei ansiosa para o lançamento dos episódios, me diverti assistindo, sofri com os protagonistas e torci pelo final feliz.
Os protagonistas fizeram um show de atuação e tinham muita química. Além dos seus personagens terem personalidades muito envolventes. Os personagens secundários também foram incríveis. Amei o trio de amigos, o irmão da Dam e o friendzone da história.
Esse dorama superou minhas expectativas. Eu gostei muito! A história foi bem desenvolvida, o final foi bem fechadinho e lindo, os personagens eram muito carismáticos e todos os episódios foram divertidos.
Vai deixar saudade!

Meu melhor Dorama até o momento

Gostaria de agradecer ao criador por não utilizar o padrão de:

- Mal-Entendidos sem sentido.
- Rival dominando protagonista para acabar relacionamento
- Rival agarrando protagonista e ela ficar calada sem reação

São situações que me pergunto se na ASIA isso é normal e reproduzido nos Doramas.

Quando o rival apareceu eu quase desisti de assistir, mas o comportamento da protagonista foi o melhor possível e eu pensei, será que aqui vai ser diferente, afinal é um Dorama escolar (universidade).

E a parte do cabelo: "...Não me toque" Deveria ter sido aos berros para a sala toda ouvir.
Ele bateu o recorde de ser rejeitado.
Não, eu nunca torci pelo Rival, ele merece a solidão até se transformarem um ser humano.

Incrível que o autor quando plantou uma ligação (cordão vermelho) e o sonho, me deu medo de continuar depois do sonho, mas ele conduziu aquilo como obstáculos de afirmação e com o passar dos episódios as expressões dela para com o rival pareciam ser de sentimento mas eram de susto, desconforto , pena e no final surpresa.

Determinada, corajosa e desde o início defendendo aquilo o que lhe era mais precioso. Seus sentimentos.
O relacionamento deles é cadenciado, sem forçar ele evolui como magia cada dia um acaso do destino, sem precisar de cordão vermelho.

Ela venceu até o sobrenatural por ser honesta e convicta em sua escolha. Ela é protagonista e heroína, defendeu seu relacionamento até a última lágrima sem abrir mão da dor da perda. Isso sim é uma história de Amor.

A única escolha que fez onde nunca houve outra opção.

Se eu pudesse mudar esse Dorama teria removido o rival há muito tempo e ter usado as cenas dele para criar momento do casal em público para que as pessoas entendessem o que eles sentiam.

Pena que o final como sempre é corrido e sem o conteúdo merecido para enfatizar o Final Feliz Perfeito.

Esse merece o casamento, quem sabe em edição especial.

Obrigado a Baek Sun Woo e Choi Bo Rim por este trabalho mágico e diferente

If u are undecided if u must watch this drama, this is the sign. WATCH IT ❣

At first I was reluctant to watch this since it is another fantasy/all about gumiho type of drama. However after the first 2 episodes id say it's very fun and hilarious to watch. Hyeri is made for comedy! The way she exaggerates her movements and facial expressions makes me laugh so hard. Also it is good to see somewhat another side of Jang Ki-yong; didnt really peg him for comedy but his character suits him. Loved Kang Hana from Start Up, and seeing her in this drama with a completely different vibe is a treat.

Updaaate! Just finished ep 16 This drama is worth your time!! The main actors (and second leads) are just so perfect for their roles. Their chemistry is on point.
The story has good pacing too! Altho it's a gumiho/ fantasy drama; the writing is good and not boring at all.

romcom fantasy done right

90% of the reason this worked out was Lee Dam, 9% of it was the mythical creature ML that was civil and sweet and 1% was for the age gap done right
Lee Dam is my ideal type of FLs, she was realistic, she had low tolerance for bs, she thought on her own, she went after what she wanted, she trusted with her whole heart but she didn't let others take advantage and best of all she was HILARIOUS! and also fashionable❣ and so so cute ❤o❤

these things sound so simple yet romcom writers 99% of the time ruin their fls, but Lee Dam was the perfect representation of gen z, she was believable as a person and that helped this fantasy drama feel realistic as far as fantasy goes


on the other hand as a mythical creature oh so amazing out of everyone's reach ML, Woo Yeo was again done right. he smiled when he had to, he talked and interacted with people though he never cared for their presence, he was imperfect, sometimes rash disguised as wisdom in his eyes -ie he'd leave cuz it's the "best" choice- but he was also weak infront of his own decisions, he was emotionless but he changed with Lee Dam (she didn't "change" him, he just reacted to her presence), he was curios because of her, he was happy because of her and he opened up his heart to his lost dream of family and love because of her


another point I really loved was the friendships, the 2FL was not a jealous evil character that was desperately in love with the ML, they were friends, they were siblings and they were each other's home.
Hye Sun is confident, poised, elegant but kinda sloppy and though her relationship with Woo Yeo felt like tom and jerry she cared for him and she ended up becoming friends with lee dam as well~

Jae Jin is the soft naive uwu type of character, he again was like a brother to lee dam, he always protected her and sometimes he needed the protection and again it's great to not only see the FL have friends but to see normal male characters that love and respect the fl in a non romantic way is always welcome (special shoutout to sunbae Jung Suk who was also a great normal friend to lee dam)

Sun Woo was the cute type of typical jerk ml but he was kidna overboard by the end, but he was still cute, I hope to see more of the actor~

I did also love lee dam's friendship with Soo Kyung but I'm kinda sad they made her too comedic even more than lee dam.



another great part of this drama was the comedy, I've not laughed this much since Birthcare Center, it was exactly my type~ like the drama never tried to take itself seriously, it was a fantasy after all there was no need for life threatening "I love you but you'll keep getting chased by the truck of doom cuz of our love" randomness.
it did have the star cross lovers that started too soon and took too much time, but as a long term webtoon it did need more than one conflict so I forgive them

also, my FAVORITE part was the no past connection! I think this is the 1st romcom, and fantasy with no past 1st love fate bs. and that made their love so much more endearing.
they met, had a accidental tie down, lived together, saw each other's true selves and they fell in love, how normal and sweet is that?❤❤❤❤
in the webtoon they seemed to imply a lee dam's brother x sunwoo's sister and I think that'd be hilarious and sad for them to make the 2ml her brother in law xD

I didn't like some of the guys' reactions, their possessiveness, their tears, their clingyness, or the way jaejin x hyesun happened and also the way lee dam felt the need to apologize while Woo Yeo stayed quiet as if she needed to apologize, but overall the perfection of lee dam and the cuteness of Woo Yeo smiling when he didn't go through the writers "we can't be together" brooding mood, everything was perfect~

tbh I hated all of the breakups and near deaths, I wish it was more like 49 days (minus the ending) where they had to collect tears of love
so like they could've done more things to make him feel human. I was more touched at Hye Sun's tears over Woo Yeo's return than anything
though I was happy with the subtle change in his personality, like he got more carefree and dorky and my girl lee dam was always rational about it

I like the ost enough and I actually rewatched some scenes for my article so I'll say I'll rewatch lee dam's hilarious comedies and the cute dates ;p

The Nine-Tailed Fox Tale With A Romantic Twist…

Admittedly whilst the quality of these fantasy dramas are often variable upon screenwriting ,‘ My Roommate Is A Gumiho’ surprisingly hits most of the marks by portraying well-rounded characters, strong chemistry between the main leads and an intriguing premise which felt enjoyable and surprisingly heartfelt for viewers.

Taken from the eponymous webcomic and adapted by screenwriters Baek Sun Woo and Choi Bo Rim , " My Roommate Is A Gumiho” revolves around Shin Woo Yeo( Jung Ki Yong)- an ancient nine-tailed fox ( Gumiho) who yearns to be human. Woo Yeo must turn his fox bead marble blue before reaching his 999th year, otherwise he will never be able to attain this possibility of becoming mortal . However, nothing ever runs smoothly for supernatural beings in K-dramas. When young and feisty university student Lee Dam (Hyeri) swallows his bead, Woo Yeo soon finds himself battling between his desires and a new obstacle of affections for Lee Dam…

Starting off his performance on a slightly lacklustre note, Jang Ki Young soon proved his talents to animate the sagacious and mysterious onscreen persona as Shin Woo Yeo to life through his surprisingly heart-rendering scenes of Woo Yeo’s complex past and sweet interactions with Lee Dam.

It is surprising how underrated Lee Hyeri’s acting talents are by truly delivering a resonant performance as headstrong Lee Dam. Lee Dam ( as a character) is arguably an evidently "down-to-earth heroine" than a lot of K-drama female leads out there- deadpan expressions, shamelessly honest comments and straightforward priorities ( not least the fact that she was more worried about not being able to eat fried chicken again with the bead) helping to epitomise this.

However to be more brutally honest with Lee Dam’s characterisation, it was evident to see some nuanced problems here also. This didn’t mean her sentience as a character was non-existent. Early on in the series, Lee Dam established she was no pushover when calling out the sexist remarks of second male lead Gye Sun Woo ( Bae In Hyuk)’s friendship group upon her body. She comments defiantly that she is a human being; ” not an object" in a moment which truly brought forward the taboo issue of misogyny in South-Korea . ( Kudos as well for screenwriters Baek Sun Woo and Choi Bo Rim for having addressed this issues overtly than burying them under the carpet also.)

In addition to this the screenwriters also used the opportunity to explore more with her interactions outside of romances alone, with her two best friends; Do Jae Jin( Kim Do Wan) and Choi Soo Kyung( Park Kyung Hye) . The " best friends" archetype in K-dramas is often used to present “animosity”( either through love triangles, lies or relationships) or as “unnecessary” ( they are used to fill-in time or for comical relief). At times, the duo were manipulated into both roles in order to heighten drama, however, they was something oddly sweet here ; they genuinely cared about Lee Dam.

However, the biggest problem occurred sometimes in between this development of " comical" and " serious" Lee Dam scenes, there was a opportunity to use this time to sketch-out more about Lee Dam’s sense of identity . Admittedly , this also fuelled more tedious interactions between our main leads in the beginning as we had little to truly grasp ( as viewers) about their characters.

Arguably, however, it this was necessary to foreground who are characters were as individuals and to get to know one another first. This seemed to remain evident in later episodes with a more fortified pairing feeling refreshing, gradual and healthy-both for the characters, and the logic of the plot without having to define Woo Yeo merely as the ‘ supernatural and inhuman’ character of the series for angst and tension. Although some viewers have risen red flags about the “ improper” relationship between Woo Yeo and Lee Dam’s addressed name to him ( “ Elder/ Sir”) in Korean, there was undeniably something well-matched about the chemistry between these two characters. The storyline could’ve presented Woo Yeo as a “ callous” or “ disruptive” towards Lee Dam, but the male lead was fairly respectful towards our female lead and likewise with Lee Dam towards Woo Yeo. Their relationship was undeniably slow-burning but built upon gradual mutual respect and symbiotic feelings, rather than the stereotypical causes which often reduced the main pairing in fantasy dramas being there “ for the sake of plot”.

The supporting leads were in a similar boat. Second female lead Yang Hye Sun ( Kang Ha Na) was an absolute delight with her wholesome friendship with our male main lead . There was initial fear that perhaps Hye Sun would go down the stereotypical ” female animosity” route due to her close-knit relationship with Woo Yeo ( due to her established " vixen-style and mischievous ”personality). However, thankfully the show allowed Hye Sun to steer clear of this route. Instead Hye Sun is paired together with an unusual side character which you won’t see coming . Now, without spoilers ( to either the drama or the webtoon), there is a particular reason why the storyline paired these two polar opposites together, however, first-time viewers will possibly feel disconcerted with this pairing choice due to the more ” comical" approach taken on at first. (Although admittedly there are some surprisingly heartfelt moments between these two also.)

Our second male lead Gye Sun Woo ( Bae In Hyuk) was a little bit of a curve ball. Bae In Hyuk was undeniably delightful as our main lead. However although the series did attempt to present Sun Woo as the “ forlorn lover with unrequited feelings” towards Lee Dam, lacking character growth and missed opportunities to use Sun Woo’s egotism in order to explore more about his backstory, truly derived from the screenwriters’ intended desire of presenting him as this sentient individual rather than merely a story writing trope.

On a more positive note the ending was fairly well-matched for the series and did leave a sense of completion towards the overall events of the drama.

So aside from the seeming abundance of high ratings for this series giving it “10/10”, is “ My Roommate Is A Gumiho” actually that good? Well, the drama undeniably has its flaws in parts. Whilst it hits the mark with good acting, prominent messages and brilliant relationship chemistry between our leads, the fresh spins upon tropes are sometimes mismatched against more tiresome cliches particularly with later storyline developments, slower pacing in parts and evidently the character development of Sun Woo. On the other hand, “ My Roommate Is A Gumiho” was an entertaining watch with chemistry which sparked alive onscreen and will definitely win the heart of any avid romance fan.

MRIAG is like Dam's fav food; chicken - full of flavour, sweet but also spicy, and addictive!

When I say I want to watch a romcom that doesn't annoy or bore me, THIS is what I mean! My Roommate Is a Gumiho has everything I could want and more in a romcom.

If you like light-hearted dramas with a sprinkle of intensity, you'll probably enjoy this. It's a stereotypical one, meaning there are some predictable cliché scenes, but that did not stop me from loving every second of this gem! I have to also mention the editing, I mean come on, it's just too good! From the funny sound effects to the scene of Dam dancing on meat while singing about her love for it. Overall, the plot is well written, has good pacing and nothing seems rushed.

The chemistry and interactions between the characters, specifically Dam, Woo Yeo, Hye Sun and Jae Jin (including Soo Kyung, although she's not part of the main cast), are the best. For me, that's one of the most important aspects of a drama and they chose the cast really well! They're all perfect for their roles. Lee Dam, in particular, has become one of my favourite characters in dramaland, she's so hilarious without even trying and I just love her wacky personality. It's been a while since I've seen a female lead so refreshingly honest and straightforward, it's awesome. Aside from the main couple, who I swoon over whenever they appear on my screen, the side couple was really sweet too!

I thoroughly enjoyed this, binging a whole 14 episodes in one sitting. Yes, I know, I have no life. I just happened to not be busy that day lol. The plot may not be very unique, but it sure entertained me and I've seen many romcoms. MRIAG's an easy watch, with it's light and funny charms being something you'll look forward to in each episode.

No doubt the best fantasy romcom I've watched this year.

Warning: Ki Yong's smile will melt your heart.

Not so bad but not great.

Fresh from seeing Episode 16 which I skipped a lot of scenes, I am still glad that I managed to finish this show. So let me get straight to my thoughts:

STORY
Nothing extraordinary. It is ok but the storyline is not something memorable or could be classified as classic that would tickle my memory in the coming years. The story is straightforward, light, and comical, sometimes raunchy due to the romantic scenes of the leads.

CHARACTERS
I have to say that my fave couple is the the second pair. They are really cute and funny together, especially their banters, misunderstandings, and the idioms!

I like the male lead gumiho in the first few episodes but his stalking tendency threw me off. It was a red flag. I am probably one of the viewers who do not feel comfortable or approve them dating secretly at the same time as they are student-professor. He should’ve not done that. After he became a professor, I lost interest. And even got away without any repercussions. He just quitted and she dropped out to date openly.

Lee Dam, there are times that I felt like watching Reply 1988 Deok Sun in this show. Nothing really new impressed me with her acting since I’ve seen Hyeri do these antics in her Reply role. Sometimes I even think she doesn’t act her age. I get confused if she’s really a university student or a high schooler by her behavior. Sometimes I don’t find it cute anymore. Her younger brother (the real high schooler in the show) is even more responsible and mature than her (academics, house work).

I like the friendship dynamics in this show. It was really funny and entertaining. One rant I’d say is how they cheapened the marble in the latter part of the show that could be tossed here and there. It was well presented in the earlier part, how it’s fragile and couldn’t be passed on easily. But it went meh later on that I lost interest.

OST
“Door (Your Moon)” by Jeong Sewoon should land in your playlist. It’s the best song of this show.

Overall, if you are looking for a light romantic comedy, sure watch this but don’t expect too much with the plot since it’s nothing that interesting. I enjoyed and stayed till the end because of the second lead couple, if it weren’t for them, I’d probably have dropped this. To be honest, I got roped in watching this after seeing Kang Ha Na and Kim Do Hwan’s chemistry in Start-up, and not really for JKY and Hyeri.

REWATCH VALUE
Will I rewatch this? Not even a hottie nine-tailed fox like Jang Ki Yong would make me. Moving on to other shows quickly. Or should I just wait on his possible next project with Song Hye Kyo?

Cool Vibe with Boring Tropes

I have been sitting on this review for ages! While I liked the premise, the show only kept my attention because I didn't want it to be my first DNF in Kdrama land.

❤ Lee Dam annoyed me to no end. I can't tell if it was the way the actress portrayed her or the character herself that turned me off. I couldn't understand why this ancient being would be fascinated with a college girl. It certainly gave off some Goblin-esque vibes (another romance I didn't particularly love).

❤ The best part of this series is the frenemies relationship between Shin Woo Yeo and Yang Hye Sun. The two actors had chemistry and energy whether they were verbally sparring or staring coolly at each other. I'm glad their relationship never veered toward romance, but their interactions certainly showed the lack of chemistry between Woo Yeo and Lee Dam.

❤ SAVE ME FROM UNNECEESARY LOVE TRAINGLES! Why was Sun Woo even an option for Lee Dam? It's obvious from the very beginning he means nothing to her. Watching him constantly being thrust between her and Woo Yeo just slowed down the main lead's romance.

❤ The vibe and atmosphere was beautiful, particularly some of the set pieces. I wish the story had entranced me as much as the way it was shot.
