Meu Colega de Quarto é um Gumiho (2021)

If you love someone, love them the best way you can..

Everytime I watch a movie or series, I look for something that would struck me big time. I have been watching for ages and it seems that I learn a thing or two in good shows. For this series, I got strucked with the lines from Lee Dam, paraphrase as "when you want to catch a fox, be a fox" and she realised that you can't be cunning to someone you love and goes again paraphrase as "if you love someone, you need to show love". It is very relatable as oftentimes we tend to do an 'eye for an eye' actions but it reminded me that you will just get hurt at the end so if you love someone, instead of giving them their own dose of medicine, give affection, care & understanding. Did I mention that this is a page (series) turner - I can stare at Jang Ki-yong all day hahaha :) :) :)

MY FAVOURITE K DRAMA OF ALL TIME,MUST WATCH!

Are you hesitant to watch this drama? WELL DON'T BE! It's a true shining gem. 'my roommate is a gumiho' is one of those dramas that are funny from the first episode. I love how this drama values friendship, family and love. The trio is total friendship goals! Unfortunately, you might get a teensy-weensy bit of SLS for this drama :( But that's okay because Shin Woo is absolutely ADORABLE. The chemistry between the ENTIRE cast is on-point and the story is intriguing. It ticks all boxes in my opinion-
Savage and cute female lead
Gentleman male lead
Two adorable friends
An annoying and dumb yet amazing best friend who is more like a sibling
A true display of a younger brother
Adorable couples
Fantasy
Rom-com
University life
I've literally watched it thrice yet didn't get bored,please do watch this!

Nothing spectacular

There is nothing spectacular about this drama, but at the same time nothing exeptionally bad.
It was a fun premise, cute couple, interesting side characters.
Truth been told regarding the main characters eventhough they were interesting, their story dragged out for no reason.
The drama would have benefited from being 6-7 episodes shorter.
The story would have been concluded beautifully in just 10-11 episodes if they compacted some scenes... there were too many boring unessesary scenes but the drama was saved from being overall boring since each single episode had it's funny sweet and endearing moments.

LOVED IT

This drama was my favorite drama of 2021, coming from a rom-com lover. The chemistry is a chef's kiss like go watch their behind the scenes right now! But anyways, second lead syndrome was pretty bad but as someone who is always falling more for the second lead, I actually really liked the main leads' relationship. I absolutely love the FL because she's so straightforward that there's rarely miscommunication in their relationship. The ML is Jang Ki Yong so you already know he's about to make me fall for him again. Overall, I highly recommend if you just want to watch a cute rom-com!

I almost did not watch this one as my run-ins with dramas with Gumiho's were mostly forgettable but good thing I did. Though I doubt that Jang Ki Yong and Lee Hye Ri will be winning any Oscars anytime soon, for this drama, their acting chops were enough to convey the aloof writer/professor and the eager student. Putting aside that one is a mythical fox and the other is the host of its magical bead, this drama mainly imparts what it is to be a human: a complex entity that can't be entirely understood despite centuries of learning and studying human behavior. Because what it means to be human, is not being perfect, not having all the answers in the universe, and though there are many that are bad, there's also many that are good. That suffering through life isn't necessarily a bad thing, but we just learn to adapt and know when to make sacrifices, and hopefully still have the desire to live despite failures.

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.

Two years later, still one of the best dramas.

It's been over 2 years since I've first watched this drama and I've rewatched it a few times as well. I was never a fan of FANTASY dramas so I was skeptical at first... very skeptical.

But yes, I was clearly wrong. The first episode was a breath of fresh air. Impeccable acting with a lot of comedy. The drama was greatly written and really captivating from the first minutes.
Later on, it showed a beautiful story that made me feel many emotions at once. It was funny, beautiful, sad... all you could think of.

STORYLINE : a fantasy romance not overdone, easy to watch even for non-fantasy fans who find mystical stuff a little too much like me.

ACTING : perfect, both main leads and supporting cast. but huge appreciation towards HYERI, she is one of the BEST ACTRESSes I've ever seen. She has an amazing charm and beautiful acting skills. I highly recommend checking other dramas with her.

OST : quite nice, but tbh I don't remember any that really stayed in my mind.

I can't wait to see both leads in new projects!

Well written drama

This is my third drama talking about gomiho and this was the best. At first i found oreshin hh a little cold and with no expressions but it was a gumiho role and by time the actor got more different interactions and feelings to express. I loved hye sun, her presence made shin woo yeo's world more interesting, loved their bickering hh. Hye Ri was stunning, lee dam seemed true, funny, honest.. Finally loved that red thread but it took me a while hhh Ah and the final, thank you for giving us an after he become a human scenes, cause most of the dramas cut and let you wanting more.
A really warm good made fantasy rom com...

Une jolie surprise !

En voilà une jolie surprise. Après « Doom at your service », que j’ai aimé mais qui m’a un peu déçue, je me suis lancée dans « My roommate is a gumiho ».

Et là, clairement j’ai été embarquée, et ce, dès le premier épisode. J’ai aimé l’histoire, avec quelques inattendus, et ce côté légende que j’aime toujours. Il y a en plus pas mal d’humour, j’avoue avoir bien souri, en plus d’avoir été touchée par moment ou même triste.

J’ai trouvé que Jang Ki Yong menait bien son rôle de renard, qui malgré ses 999 années de vie, n’a finalement toujours pas compris les humains, il en reste très maladroit, et il est du coup parfois très touchant. Peut être aurais-je quand même demandé un peu plus de relief à son personnage.

Lee Hye Ri, que je ne connaissais pas, a bien su personnaliser son personnage, et le porter de façon simple et efficace.

Leur romance est jolie et fraiche, on aimerait pouvoir aimer ainsi d’une simple évidence, malgré tous les obstacles qu’ils peuvent rencontrer.

J’ai bien aimé le couple secondaire également, et adoré Kang Han Na et son rôle : un de mes personnages favoris de ce drama.

Sincèrement, je ne m’attendais pas à ce que ce drama me plaise autant, mais se fut le cas. Mon cœur a même palpité par moment.

Alors pour tous ceux qui recherche une jolie romance, dans le fantastique, avec de l’humour, ce drama est pour vous !

My greatest companion throughout my self-quarantine!

When I first heard that I was tested positive for Covid and had to basically distance myself from everyone in my family, I was a little stressed out. I needed something light and fluffy to watch, something that could make me forget about all the bad things I had in my mind. My Roommate is a Gumiho is the first ongoing drama I watched in a very long time. I stopped watching ongoing dramas, but I knew I had to start watching one again for My Roommate is a Gumiho.

I wasn’t really interested on watching this drama, but as I saw my brother laughing out loud and getting invested in this drama, I had to start watching it too. So I started this right away on my first day of self-quarantine. And, it CLEARLY succeeds in making me laugh out loud! I watched this as I eat, as I rest, I just binged this drama all day long. The first 8 episodes were just epic and funny and everything nice! I just loved every characters here, from the famous Lee Dam and Mr Gumiho, Hye Sun, Jae Jin and Soo Kyung.

The 8 episodes were completed so fast, and I had to wait for more episodes. That’s when I decided to watch Reply 1988 as well, since I’m just so so so in love with Hyeri’s incredibly natural acting. Watching Reply 1988 with all the famous actors like Ryu Jun Yeol and Park Bo Gum acting with Hyeri made it seem like Jang Ki Yong’s acting wasn’t that great. I continued watching Episode 11-14, and my interest in this drama slowly died down, there were no longer much funny scenes, and Jang Ki Yong’s acting was a little too stiff for my taste. This wasn’t what I signed up for! What kept me going was the side characters being more interesting than the main couple. Jang Ki Yong and Hyeri had excellent chemistry, they look like a great couple indeed, but compared to the lively Hyeri being so natural in her acting, the flat Jang Ki Yong’s acting doesn’t look that good, let alone the fact that he had to look a little sick for the storyline in some episodes. The two female bullies, Da Young and Seo Jin’s acting was not so great either, but it doesn’t really bother me since they were not the main roles.

The cameos here were terrific! Those who watched Reply 1988 would be so thrilled watching this drama. And the other cameos were great as well! Many famous actors and actresses appeared in this drama, and it was interesting finding them here!

I really hoped for a nice ending, and I definitely got one! I finished Episode 15-16 yesterday and today, and it finally picked up my spirits back! Putting Kang Hanna, Kim Do Wan and Park Kyung Hye as important characters is a really excellent decision! Choi Woo Sung and Weki Meki’s Doyeon were great support characters as well! They made the drama even better and the scenes a lot funnier and entertaining. The funny scenes came back, and all the fluffiness came back. Thank God I was so used to tvN making a whole new conflict last minute! The last episode made up for the few boring episodes and to sum up, this drama was a great watch! The OSTs were super great as well! Overall, a 9/10, truly recommended! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
