My Girlfriend Is a Gumiho
(2010 - Viki, 16 1:10 eps)

A Gumiho who wants to be human encounters an irresponsible, immature college student & saves him. He promises to help her & they develop feelings. I disliked the director's choice to convey the characters' inner thoughts - just talking out loud to themselves - horrible.

It is 14 years old, but even allowing for age, the production value is lacking, special fx are horrendous & the kisses are wooden. The fantasy elements of the story seemed to be made up as they went along & I was never exactly sure of the antagonist's motives. The leads are super-cute. It did have some sweet moments & some good comedy - especially the Gumiho's misunderstanding of human desires. I enjoyed watching in a B-movie way.

@whoosh I’m glad your thoughts echoed mine - people still talk about this show a lot, and I tried it because it has Lee Seung Gi, but I really didn’t enjoy it

I kept wondering if I was missing something. I love Lee Seung Gi & Shin Min Ah, but not from this.

I gave it a miss too. I am always impressed with the work of SMA but waver on LSG. The roles they are offered and choose have a lot to do with it. I did like LSG in #AKoreanOdyssey.

@KDramaQn @whoosh I thought he was good in Vagabond as well

I think he's better in Vagabond (watched recently) than in Korean Odyssey (currently watching).

And I think the other way around. 😂
I did like him in #King2Hearts from his early days

He was good at being a bratty ML learning to grow up in K2H for sure. If you like that one, you might enjoy him in Shining Inheritance, aka Brilliant Legacy. He sings at least one of the OST numbers too, lovely voice.
