The story, without the spoilers.
Cha Dae-woong is a careless young man who dreams of becoming an action star but has little discipline and less luck. While running from his grandfather's temple, he accidentally frees Mi-ho, a beautiful nine-tailed fox spirit who has been sealed away for centuries. Mi-ho follows him home, moves into his life, eats enormous amounts of food and slowly learns what it means to be human — while Dae-woong slowly learns what it means to care for someone. My Girlfriend Is a Gumiho is a light, funny and sweet fantasy romance. Shin Min-a is adorable as the innocent fox spirit discovering the modern world, Lee Seung-gi is charming as the selfish boy growing into a better man, and their chemistry is warm and playful. The mythology is simple and the villain plot is thin, but the humour and heart carry it. It is a perfect example of early-2010s K-drama fantasy: gentle, romantic and easy to love.
A little curiosity. A new favourite.
