Turning into a Lee Seung Gi fan - My Girlfriend is a Gumiho (내 여자친구는 구미호)

After watching the Gu Family Book, I couldn't get enough of Lee Seung Gi, hence I decided to hunt for past dramas of his to watch and chanced upon this 2010 drama - 내 여자친구는 구미호 My Girlfriend is a Gumiho, which is a mirror of his current drama - instead of being a gumiho, Lee Seung Gi plays the role of Cha Dae Woong, a human who encountered a gumiho (nine-tailed fox) played by Shin Min-a.

The story is pretty funny yet melodramatic because it started off as Dae Woong trying to shrug Miho away in fear that she would eat/harm him but later fell in love with her deeply that he didn't even mind dying for her. The drama runs for 16 episodes and the storyline is pretty short and simple. Miho wants to be human but she can only do so if she places her fox bead into Dae Woong, because it would suck all his human essence out after 100 days and by getting the human essence into her, she would turn human. The story also has extra characters like No Min Woo who plays Park Dong Ju, who likes Miho because she looked like his ex, many years back, who had the same fate but was betrayed by her human lover, and Park Soo Jin as Eun Hye In, a diva whom Dae Woong initially liked but played hard-to-get, resulting in him losing interest in her.

Basically, the story spans a 100 days and it showed the relationship between Dae Woong and Miho, getting closer through funny things happening that in the end became really meaningful for them. It's hard not to fall in love with Miho, through her child-like innocent character and she is really pretty with hardly any make-up on!

Overall verdict: A good light-hearted drama which ends well and leaves its viewers happy :)
