A must watch drama even for people who don't like fantasy
I was quite hesitant to watch this drama as I don't usually enjoy fantasy dramas, but I am very glad I decided to give this a try. I really liked the story line, it isn't overly complicated, it keeps you interrested but doesn't overwhelm you with too many elements at the same time.The cast was an amazing pick. Everyone from the leads to the support characters fit their roles so well, the acting was amazing. I really liked the chemistry between the characters (not only the leads, also the chemistry with the second lead, the second lead couple and the friendships).
This drama combined fantasy, romance and humor so well. You can relate to the characters, the drama is easy to watch and I am pretty sure the show can make anyone laugh!
Overall an amazing drama that I will definitely rewatch in the future!

Fun watch, feel-good drama
It was a fun watch, feel-good drama. I loved the editing, it was hilarious. The characters were hilarious. I love their relationships with each other, especially Woo-yeo and Hye-sun's (platonic) relationship. They're just like siblings.Honestly, my only problem was that I didn't really feel the chemistry between Woo-yeo and Dam. Sure, I liked them together but they didn't exactly *click* for me. I was really into their relationship in the first few episodes, but my interest in them dwindled down as the episodes went by. But, Jae-jin and Hye-sun's relationship honestly makes up for it.
And, if you're looking for a light watch, this one's for you.

It was smooth , light , funny ,
And no uneeded separations for shallow reasons
The plot was great and solid
All the characters were going parallel
Everything got solved
I liked really that the ML didn't get involved in love triangle with the 2nd fl, which was really great
And there were no childhood's love which was fabulous from my opinion
I loved the 2nd fl's character and how she was funny and clumsy
She made me laugh a lot
I loved do jae jin character a lot also
I liked that the 1st Fl got a strong character
The romance was really amazing
I enjoyed every minute although i wasn't in a drama mood for a long time
The only thing that bothered me was the love triangle with sun woo
The accident scene got me shocked
Highly recommended 🥰❤️

Entertaining with great acting
Plot: There’s nothing too deep about the story. A gumiho who wanted to be a human but lost interest after his experience with his first love and found another reason to be human again. The comedy side is more on the acting of female lead and her friends and then some with the female gumiho-turned-human. They made the series interesting and funny. If you want something light but can still bring out emotions, you should watch this. It’s more focused on young love & college life/friendship.Acting: I love Lee Dam, Hye Sun & Jae Jin ‘s acting. The rest were good enough.
Music: I love most of the bgm and sound effects. They were perfect for every scene but what stood out the most is when they have this background music when Lee dam was zoning out appreciating Sir’s handsomeness. I find it very funny. Haha!
Rewatch value: All the cute and funny scenes of both couples., although the chemistry wasn’t exactly fire, their actions made it convincing. The ending of other side characters were cute too.
Overall: For a romantic comedy with fantasy elements, I think it’s really good. Just don’t expect any depth when it comes to other elements such as family or life itself but I really love Lee Dam’s character and the way they executed the main lead’s good relationship despite their differences. It’s normal for them to fight or have a misunderstanding but it didn’t last too long. They communicated well, observed and understand each other’s actions. Although it was full of cliché scenes, it was still done well and in a hilarious way. 8-8.5 for me.

Love triangle done right
As weird as it may sound, I think one of my favorite things about this show was its score. All the instrumental songs were just so good and added an extra layer of emotion to the show.Also, Hye Ri's facial expressions ranked high up. I think "scared" was my favorite, exasperated and mischievous being close behind. This was my first time seeing her work, and I very much look forward to watching more of her stuff.
The love triangle deserves an honorable mention, I think. Never before have I low-key rooted for both guys to get the girl. Typically I can't care less about the guy that's the proverbial third wheel, but here I just felt so sad every time either Woo Yeo or Seon Woo got upset over Dam.
I really liked that Dam and Woo Yeo had pretty honest, open communication. Sometimes, it took them a little bit to get there, but in the end honesty always prevailed.
Also, I really led the development of the second couple. Hye Sun was so jaded when it came to men and relationships, and Jae Jin was a patented sweetheart. I feel like they complement each other well, and I liked the slow burn with them. It felt appropriate given their bad experiences with love in the past. They were adorable together.
Lastly, I really loved Dam's relationship with her BFFs Jae Jin and Soo Kyung and her younger brother.
Doom at your Service still remains my top favorite fantasy k-drama, but this one was really good too. A lot lighter and fluffier by comparison, but still great.

Esta resenha pode conter spoilers
Overall, a nice romcom
Ok, my main problem with this is i think Lee Dam should have ended up with Sun, the second lead. To me he was a better fit. Shin living 999 years and not updating himself to the times, was Irritating. Her constantly calling him Sir, putting up with how he treated her, all without smacking him and giving him 'This is the 22nd century'. Sun really did care and i think he was deserved better treatment. Her constant back and forth with Sun, i felt bad for him. I know she told him early on 'No', but when it continued she should have established ground rules like she did with Shin. i think Shin needed the other fox as his girlfriend, they had more in common. Granted Dam did need to teach him humanity, she could. But at times she was just to complacent and let people walk over her. And why does every single female walking /sitting alone get approached by lecherous men ans have to be saved? If i was younger and prettier, I'd be afraid to go anywhere eithout a group of friends along. I mean is this the culture Korea has or story? Why does the girl have to be saved, why can't she have a heavy bag to hit with and a whistle and pepper spray?Esta resenha foi útil para você?
A cotton candy drama to the broken heart
What will I say of this piece of sugar with honey? This drama came to make your heart flutter and give you the false hope of being in love with a supernatural rich, sexy, and handsome fox. It's the perfect call to the ones who don't wanna suffer or get angry. It's the cotton candy of 2021 Dramaland.I'll start with the amazing performance of our stars. Lee Hye Ri is a pearl and to see her on the screen it's always fun and different. Lee Dam was an amazing character, and for me was the gold of this show. I love strong female leads and the ones who don't follow the pattern of the suffering lady. This totally matches with Shin Woo Yeo's personality. I was afraid that he could be the kind of male lead always rigid and with the overprotected speech, but his personality was pretty good and solid, and Jang Ki Yong keeps impressing me with his skills. The chemistry between these two was incredible, and I forgot that Hye Ri had a boyfriend many times watching the bts.
Other highlight was my cute couple Hye Sun and Jae Jin. My gosh, these two kill it! Kang Ha Na was amazing in "Start-Up", but now I could see even more how good she is, and I hope that she gets another drama soon as the female lead. Hye Sun was so fun and light, and I laugh a lot at her foolishness. Her friendship with Woo Yeo was also an amazing thing and I loved to see them together fighting all the time. Kim Do Wan is a baby and this character was made for him. I created the fanfic inside my head since "Start-Up", so this was my dream coming true. Bae In Hyuk is another baby since "Kiss Goblin", but this character was just terrible and I felt nauseated every time that I saw that moron sunbae appearing.
Amazing things said, I will point some not-so-good stuff. The first episode was very interesting, and I was excited to see the main plot developing, and the way how they do the waiting part was incredible, but... The waiting never ended. I thought all the problems that the drama presented were very superficial and sometimes even illogical. Episode 12 was the lowest point for me and give me the feeling of "Why this is a problem? If is a problem, why was solutioned so fast?" and this kind of thought. It wasn't terrible, it was just frustrating if you are a person who is used to watch many dramas.
I will put this one as a pretty good one (★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★) because I really think that an initiating drama addicted will think this incredible, and a more experienced will find it at least fun and well done. I hope the best to the actors and I will highly recommend this one to my friends who are entering now in Dramaland.

A Highly Enjoyable Fantasy.
I am surprised by how this drama turned out to be one of my guilty pleasure favorites. As usual, I had begun it as a 'palate cleanser' following my disastrous experience with 'Hello Monster'. However, I ended up binging the entire thing within two days.The major advantage that My Roommate is a Gumiho has is it's compact nature of storytelling and a pacing that is 'passable' enough to keep viewers who are inquisitive glued to their screens.
Starting right off the bat with the introduction of the history of a male Gumiho, Shin Woo Yeong, we are taken to present day Seoul with him. Having given up all hopes of becoming a human and now living in an apathetic state of mind following the demise of a person whom he hoped would help him become one, he plods his way around… until an accidental encounter with a college student, Lee Dam, ends up with him losing his beloved marble to her.
Dam, a history student, is beyond terrified of her newfound supernatural being. The gumiho offers her an agreement: cohabit with him until he figures out a way to get the marble out of her… Unbeknownst to her, he has plans of his own.
I loved the performance of the whole cast. Personally, I like Lee Hye Ri in comedic roles as it comes off as more natural. Lee Dam is a character I madly respect. Never seen Jang Ki Young before, but I will surely check out his prior works. He portrayed the 'alive and empathetic, but I'm dead inside' feature of the fox convincingly. Aside from the leads, supporting characters like Hye-sun and Jae-jin stole my attention several times.
I loved the process of how the gumiho and the human slowly began falling for each other. The drama focussed enough on the two of them within the first eight episodes, taking ample time for their relationship to slowly develop into something real. They had a valid reason to fall in love, as Lee Dam herself mentioned. Yes, there were times I wanted to beat up certain characters for their decisions, but I admire the effort that the cast and crew put in to invoke such emotions.
Also the distinction between the 'fox' and 'human' along with their power imbalance was interesting to watch.
Another admirable aspect of this drama is it's beauty. Every scene, particularly some of the ones shot at night were breathtaking, coupled with the scenery and lighting. I was not particularly impressed by the soundtrack, though I do like a couple of tracks.
One negative aspect of this drama was the pacing during the final episodes. The 'supposed' second lead took up a lot of screentime. I did not like this due to another factor that may be a bit of a spoiler. Considering that, a lot of his scenes could've been fast forwarded without much focus.
Another hiccup was the mythical background. I had seen 'My Girlfriend is a Gumiho' right before this, and despite having Disney heavy characters and a much lighter atmosphere, the background was solid enough to make the plot threads and outcomes plausible.
This did not seem to be the case for MRIAG. Although, I can see that some effort was put forth, the story was focussed more on character development and their decisions.
One character in particular supported the entire fictional aspect of the storyline and manipulated it to an unbelievable extent. No proper explanation was given for it's actions.
Despite these issues, this drama is certainly intensely enjoyable. I will certainly be going back to it sometime in the future.

Definitely worth watching
Sceptical at first, as mentioned by many, gumiho is no longer an excitement as it used to. Trust me, it's completely opposite of what you've been thinking, the plot, characters, were more wholesome and at ease than the once produced beforehand. The ending did not disappoint me like many other dramas did, so far the most satisfying ending would be this. You're no longer questioning or wondering in pain and hopes, this is a clean finish. Honestly, would be lovely if there were more dramas with the male protagonist, he's subtle yet keeps you entertained and wanting more, a hidden gem.Esta resenha foi útil para você?
Nothing fancy about Fantasy but it has the right amount of plot filling in it
#MyRoommateisaGumiho (간 떨어지는 동거) Review:/- Actual Rating: 8/10
/- I had a peculiar impression of the conflicts that happened here. The way it felt was like every twist in the story was structured and placed for it to look like an engagement of sorts to destiny and how we control our lives around it. To be honest, I was more inclined to Hye Sun's story/atmosphere. I liked her parts more than the actual leads here.
/- But, overall, I enjoyed most of the fun parts since the acting really looked natural and funny at the same time. Enjoyed much of the episodes!

A very refreshing Rom-Com!
This rom-com has officially become my favorite drama of 2021. Without too much expectation, I spent two full days watching and completely falling in love with the ML and FL's personalities. Jang Ki Yong portrays flawlessly a fox that, besides a beautiful face, doesn't have a lot of emotion and has to learn how to feel in the presence of the FL. Hyeri portrays a very realistic, relatable college girl who is responsible for herself and always fights for her love, which is very refreshing to see. I am also so glad to see the nice, supportive relationship between the main leads and the second main leads. Overall, this drama makes me smile non stop and restores my faith in rom-coms. Definitely recommend My Roomate is A Gumiho!Esta resenha foi útil para você?
