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?

Amazing drama
Overall: A very refreshing rom com!!! I started watching without too much expectation but this drama has definitely kept me at the edge of my seat all the time and makes me giggle like a fool in the middle of the nights. The main casts have amazing visuals. Their chemistry is also off the chart and makes you even blush while watching. I came for Hyeri and now have fallen in love with Jang Ki Yong. The story is filled with comedy and heart fluttering moments! If I make my fiance watch this drama with me, you gotta watch it for yourself and then have your loved ones join you for a rewatch. This is definitely my favorite drama of 2021.Esta resenha foi útil para você?
Interesting Romcom with Great Acting <3
I didn't expect much from this but I ended up absolutely loving it ! If you're a romcom fan you'll love it for sure. Male MC is just the most charismatic male lead, his smile is ~~~ so cute, and Female MC is also super cute but we know that from Reply anyways. Supporting characters are also really interesting, I usually want to skip the supporting plots but I was very interested in their stories also. It definitely won't bore you, perfect for binge watching, it'll make you smile, cry and move your heart. If you're looking for a moving , sincere romcom definitely watch it , it even has magic. I have zero critisisms maybe but too much flashbacks but that's fine. I love it <3Esta resenha foi útil para você?
Light
If you know the cast, you'll know they are good at acting. Though, I am not very pleased with the story plot. Personally, it's not my thing. Finished it because of good casting.Super light and funny for me. Good watch for people that are heavy work and watching to have a light and good laugh.
The graphics are also quite contrasting for me. I don't get the humor. Still, it might be a good watch for others. It's not just my cup of tea. Appreciate the whole production, though!
Hyeri is and Kang Han Na is so cute!!!!

I ♥️ Orishin!
I give this drama a 8/10, it started off strong with really great scenes and funny moments. I feel like midway through (around episode 11 or 12) it loss some of its steam, and I kind of lost interest. However, I did complete it.Pros:
- Main leads have good chemistry
- Female lead is charming and hilarious
- Gumiho/fantasy element is evident and used throughout entire series and isn't pushed the background.
- Side characters were well developed and helped the story to progress.
- Entire cast had good chemistry
- Hilarious, laugh out loud scenes
- Female lead while dependent on the male lead for a good portion of the series. She did show that she could be independent and that she knew what she wanted.
Cons:
- Story felt like it slowed momentum midway through
- Wished the male lead showed more emotion instead of holding himself back, I get that is not the actors fault just how the character was written.

lovely drama!!
the gumiho trop is nothing new but this love story was really sweet, well portrait and funny.the main male lead is gumiho who has reached his 999th years of age. he has left just a year to become a human or he'd disappear from the earth.
the male female lead is a young history Student who accidentally bumps into our gumiho and shallows the gumiho marble, which he needs to gain energy.
they both agree to live together in order to take the marble out of her body and save her from death.
this forced living situation leads to a romantic relationship.
that's the basic premise of the story, but the real force of this drama is in the chemistry between the actors. the drama is full of sweet moment that really warm the heart. despite the "age gap" they are able to adjust to one another and grow together.
they are both likable in different ways. the gumiho may seem cold hearted but is really affectionate in his own way. he is charming and naive and the same time. the main female character is strong, unapologetic and isn't afraid to be her true self.
the side characters are nice and not shallow as they usually are. especially the other couple of this drama give us funny and sweet moments.
overall this is a story about overcoming struggles and give all our selves for the one we love.
the drama is full of romantic but also funny moments.
highly recommended

Love, simple yet entertaining. I highly recommend this kdrama
This is a story with a very simple storyline, with a minimal plot twists and no annoying ex girlfriend or ex boyfriend or as they say in kdrama “second lead. This drama is soothing and warm hearted - a chicken soup for the soul, great for erasing away the stress and anxiety.I love the writer’s humor. It’s so subtle that one may not catch it right away. To me, this is some very excellent writing and a lot of thoughts have gone into it. Many lines spoken here can be used by friends and lovers to enhance their relationship. The “confession conversation” or what they called “boldness” is rather comprehensible.
Hyeri and JKY played their character brilliantly. And their chemistry is so freaking adorable! I must admit I’m not a fan of JKY acting before MRIAG but this drama suits him well. Hyeri and JKY in my eyes and opinion is a match made in heaven, their physical features complement each other.
The whole cast has an excellent chemistry, which can be seen on their promotions. Well done to the whole cast and crew for an excellent job.
Love life. Love everyday!

Eye Candy Fantasy RomCom to quench ur thirst.
Well, I finished it! Yipee!, cant say I do it now a days..very evident by my trail of drops and holds!Plot: nothing new..but the execution and the small elements tat made it; was amazing.. a new take on old story..better than tale of nine tail. I loved the twist in Soo hung love story..that was "ha ha he"
Acting: each actor played their role beautifully..even the supporting characters made it oh so very entertaining..be it her studious fnd and her rival...be it her close bud and his romances..the third wheel in love triangle...the various guest roles...everyone played their part nicely adding to the grand story.
FL char development was very evident in how she s first scared of ML and later gets bold, honest & loving.
MLs cute innocent love for her but at the same time he s a gumiho and acts like one. His comments on "is this why I learnt magic" at FL or to himself was very realistic..the plot was taken as realistic as possible within given reasonings...
Chemistry was wow : And the man! Jang Ki Yong could kiss..their first kiss was my my...H.O.T....and ocoz he s cute n a freaking eye candy as the title goes!!
Friendship: wow I really envy the fndship and their interactions....FL Dam and her buds fnds Jae Jin and Soo Kyung ..our fox Woo Yeo and his lady companion fox turned human HyeSun. The cute rival between Soo Hyung and Jung Suk....the siblings Dam and Dan's...Seo woo n Sun woo.
What I liked:
1. I always hated plot where a powerful being wants to became punny human...oh come on!!! I would rather u stay powerful and retain humanity.But this is one of the very few dramas where the reason for his wanting to become human was justified. And also, got us (furry pet parents) thinking! Very true...only humans have the free will to choose their own destiny..animals don't!!!
2. Dan n Dan's mom.. wow wat a classy lady..and their life motto...handle it yourself..ha ha..
3. HyeSun's innocence and taking things in literal sense!!!
Wat I hated: MLs monopoly of their relationship!! He never..I mean lik never says anything to Dam...I like that his fndship with Hyesun is old n strong.. am for it...but damn Dam is ur life partner..include her in ur closed grp sharing of 1 《Hye Sun》and decisions!!!
Music: can't say I even remember any...goes to say it not Catchy!
Overall: Give it a try, won't regret it..who knows u might end up liking it...I DID!!!!

Just romance and bonding has projected here.
Nothing new concept in this drama. Just that the girl is human and the boy is gumiho. This drama is totally carried out by bitter sweet moments, little bit comedy and some heartbreaking scenes. And ofcourse our female lead Lee Hye Ri (Lee Dam) has shown here top class acting. Because this character just perfectly blend with this plot. Our main lead Jang Ki Won (Shin Woo Yeo) who is a gumiho has been struggling to become human once again. This battle with himself will bring him close to Lee Dam and their romance journey will begin.The drama successfully potrayed the ending and bring all the couple together. If your sole purpose is just watching romance then this drama is just perfect for you. Beside romance this drama has nothing to offer, I mean you will not even find a proper character build up instead all the episodes are filled with romance between Dam and Woo Yeo.
The side characters are decent to watch and make the plot connected. Beside all this you will find some annoying moments with second male lead so just bear with that.
If you are looking for some simple romance and no other annoying back stories then you can watch it.
OST is good to listen.
- No rewatch for me.

Rimane fedele a se stesso
Dopo Goblin, in molti hanno cercato di superare o almeno eguagliare il suo successo ma la maggior parte (o almeno quelli che ho visto io) ha fallito. Questo drama non gli arriva nemmeno lontanamente vicino ma ha giocato bene le sue carte. Nonostante ci troviamo davanti ad un fantasy sembra tutto così veritiero che non si percepisce il taglio netto tra la realtà e la storia di fantasia. Questo lo dobbiamo principalmente a due fattori: la protagonista e la storia lineare. Il drama fa un ottimo lavoro rimanendo fedele a se stesso: non hanno cercato di infarcirlo con picchi di trash o con la sopraggiunta di tante creature fantasy (vedi Tale of the Nine Tales) che disturbano alla fine la visione e soprattutto non c'è NULLA che lega i due protagonisti nel passato. EVVAI!La storia rimane appunto lineare senza troppi scombussolamenti, ma è un continuo crescendo di maturazione e consapevolezza e qui torniamo a prima. La protagonista gioca un ruolo fondamentale. E' riuscita a spiazzarmi. Questa ragazza un po' sbadata e un po' sfortunata in realtà è una di noi. Il suo personaggio è talmente ben costruito che sembra la nostra vicina di banco o un'amica con cui chiacchierare. Avete presente una classica scena di un qualsiasi drama romantico in cui la protagonista è in difficoltà? Ecco, lei non reagirà come tutte le altre. Vi sorprenderà!
E' quella che spinge in avanti la storia, è per lei che succede quel che succede ed è tutto veramente ben costruito. Anche il resto mi è piaciuto, soprattutto i migliori amici di entrambi le parti (già visti ambedue in Start Up). Adorati.
Se pensate di star per vedere una storia comica, cambiate registro Niente di troppo drammatico o che, ma un buon lavoro.

PART ONE: This was the story of a nine-tailed fox by the name of Shin Woo Yeo (played by Jang Ki Yong) who is running out of time to become a human. He meets, quite by accident, Lee Dam (played by Hyeri), who ends up swallowing his marble. Woo Yeo and Lee Dam end up living together until the right action is taken to remove the marble from Lee Dam. In the interim, they fall in love with each other. This drama came roaring out of the gates, the chemistry, the emotions, the music from the OST, and the push and pull between these two characters were sizzling and fiery.PART TWO: Once the marble is removed from Lee Dam there were quite a few episodes of separation, misunderstanding, fighting, tears, sadness, visits from the unseen world, and then reconciliation and a decision made by Lee Dam to try to salvage this union. Equipped with the information given to her from a “Mountain Spirit” Lee Dam feels that she is now armed with enough information that she can help Woo Yeo attain his dream of becoming human. With a heart full of determination and courage, Lee Dam moves forward and to help Woo Yeo become human and obtain their happy ending. She announces at the end of episode 13 that she is moving back in with Woo Yeo.
PART THREE: Woo Yeo thought he might not make it so he created beautiful and perfect days with Lee Dam as moving memories that would sustain her if he had to leave. In those final days, Woo Yeo learns to be patient and kind, to love and sacrifice, and find a reason for wanting to live. The ultimate sacrifice he indeed gives so that he could be reborn, and rebirth came once he heard the voice of Lee Dam calling for him through the portal of time to eternity to return to her side who was desperately wishing for him to live again as she decided she would patiently wait for Woo Yeo’s return no matter how long it would take.
POST FINALE COMMENTS:
Lee Dam was truly the hero in this drama. Lee Dam was not a damsel in distress that needed saving, but she took the initiative to be the savior. This drama rehearsed an important truth and that is love is the necessary ingredient to humanize the inhumane. Lee Dam was the brave heroine and the righteous and sweet lover that tamed the beast and humanized the nine-tail fox.
Hyeri and Jang Ki Yong were MAGIC on screen together. Ki Yong was at his best in the first part of this drama where his handsome looks, deep voice, and eyes that speak, kept Lee Dam swooning ? ? ?!!!! The only thing that I did not like about the drama was that I wish Woo Yeo had done a little more to try to save himself from his pending troubles. It was like he was just going to accept misfortune as fate rather than see if fate could be reversed. I did not mind seeing Lee Dam be the angel of deliverance, but I just wish I saw more of a fight in Woo Yeo than what I did. Other than this one objectionable point, this drama is a very entertaining watch.
On a final note, I would like to say that I have never seen Hyeri in a drama before, but I must say she was a real treat to see on screen; her smile adorns her with an extra beauty element that is hard to compete with because it is God-given and makes her simply radiant. If you look at episode 5 when Woo Yeo and Lee Dam are taking lots of pictures together with their phones, this little photoshoot session will give you a view of Hyeri that makes you shiver that someone could have a smile as beautiful as hers. When she truly flashes that smile your way you feel like you are being showered with rainbows, fairy dust, and candy canes all at the same time.
You will love both leads for different reasons. I believe that you will enjoy this story.
A VERY IMPORTANT POSTSCRIPT MESSAGE (ADDED IN OCTOBER OF 2021)
When I see a drama couple that I really loved on-screen—where their chemistry seemed to cross over into the real, I look up everything I can on that couple to see what they did behind the scenes during filming and what they did together after the drama such as interviews, game shows, award shows, radio shows, photoshoots, etc…..
Hyeri is just captivating to me. Please check out the YouTube video link below which is a compilation of many wonderful moments that this couple had during and after the filming of this drama.
You will witness chemistry and friendship like none other that I have ever seen between any two lead actors in a drama. Their flow and the joy that they have working with each other on and off camera is electric, it was endearing, and their kisses along with the accompanying soundtrack made this little video montage super steamy.
It would be very hard for a man not to fall in love with Hyeri.
