a cute, light-hearted kdrama 7.8/10!!
Story: I read the webtoon and absolutely adored it so i decided to give the drama a watch, and it was pretty good. They adds a back story for Mr.Gumiho and i think that's nice! The Cast really brings to life my favorite webtoon.I'm at ep. 9, I dont know why they added the Murder + Supernatural shit,... and it's getting boring for me. The pacing at the first is pretty good, because it's fast paced compared with the webtoon, but i always have to skip the cheesy romance scenes with lengthy dialogues, mostly about Mr. Gumiho's [lack of]-feelings thingy, or scenes where Female Lead mindlessly, sadly walk alone on the street... Or scenes where the Main Leads just stares at each other (like i get that they tried to be expressive, but i guess they can cut them out so those scenes can be shorter, and less boring! :D)
Cast/Acting:
Lee Dam/Lee Hyeri: I read a article on kenh14 (our Vietnamese tabloid) criticizing Lee Hyeri's acting and ughhhhh, she slayed and saved this show!! Lee Dam here is so cute! Both drama Dam and webtoon Dam is funny, but the drama Dam is more lively and relatable (look at her eating scenes >w<, an authentic representation of Gen Z), while webtoon Dam gives off a cold girl vibe (or is it bc the art haha) who has a great sense of humor
The Male Lead: I thought his smiles are a little stiff and awkward in romance scenes (e.g. The stair scene with Dam, while he says "i think of you as my niece") I watched their interview, and yeahhh, loll, his natural laugh is different from the drama's (like natural smiles tend to be cotagious) ... He definitly has more room to improve his acting ^^ , Fighting Male Lead ssi.
The Second Leads (Jae Jin and the Gumiho Woman): They're adorable, Hye Sun is such a fun character which ive never seen before. Han Na defly kills this role since i don't care much about her character in the webtoon, but here she managed to portrait a weird, reluctant but beautiful friendship with Mr.Gumiho ( i still dont remember the names). Jae Jin the character is sweet too!
The romance/The chemistry (Main Leads): it was okay, and nice i guess... 7.8/10 <3 Havent felt that much butterfly in my stomach tho
The friendship: I adore the trio * * while I think Soo Kyung character should have more screen time cuz she's so cutee and hilarious
Music + Fashion + Filming Set:
Their house + the scenes + The furniture is too nice i love itttt! Beautiful scenery. The fashion is pretty great, esp. Hye Sun's! I'm a little disappointed in Dam's outfits tho haha (like it's okay— just common college students fit)
Might drop this even though the past 9 eps i watched were worth the time!!
PS: Đang xem thấy chị nào xinh đẹp quá ra là Jung So Min nhà mìnhhhh
cameo thui mà diễn hay hết sức

THERE IS ALWAYS SOME MADNESS IN LOVE.
A perfect rom-com with sweet and bitter moments . The Smile of Lee Hyeri with every episode was so loving and the way she played the character of Lee Dam the every emotions were seem to be well portrayed. The supporting cast was so cool.The humor with every episode was just other level and they will always keep you busy. And the essence this drama contains seems to be realistic.
Jang Ki Yong has done really well in this drama that make me more excited for his upcoming drama 'Now We Are Breaking Up'.

Love it
This drama is amazing from episode 1 till now and waiting for episode 13. From the beginning the scenes gives you such a weird feelings what the story is all about, And how did that happen and who is that evil spirit that wandering around. Every episode is trilling and have a lots of skinship and sweetness ofcourse. To the point that you will shout out loud because of their chemistry. And this hye ri's drama is my favorite. Their chemistry is good, please let them be together till the ending. Hyeri is doing great, she's my bias in Girls day. And hope to see her in another project together with Mr. Gumiho hihihiWas this review helpful to you?
This show deserves to be in the top 10
This show is everything I hoped it would be after reading the webtoon.The casting is absolutely spot-on. The main female lead needed someone who was dynamic and fun, someone who wouldn't take themselves too seriously and could experiment and play with the expressions and mannerisms of the character.
The main male lead needed someone who could be frightening yet meek and vulnerable at the same time.
Whoever cast this show knew what they were doing and what the script needed to bring the main unique characteristics out of the characters.
I tend to be picky with the small details of production quality and if this isn't done well it hinders the overall viewing experience. I haven't found a fault in this category so far - each character had a phone model/phone case design that stayed consistent, they each have a look/style that doesn't suddenly change halfway through, the sound quality was better than most and definitely done by experienced staff, and the set designs were believable and fit each scene and character.
I loved the hints of the webtoon origin through fun, entertaining sound effects and visual additions. The sponsored products were added in without contrasting with the personality of the characters using it, although not completely smoothly hidden throughout so that it goes unnoticed as a sponsored product (which is generally difficult to accomplish).
Overall, every new episode is the highlight of my week and I cant wait to see the rest!

K Drama worth watching!
Hey drama lovers out there!The last couple years there have only been a few Korean dramas that I have enjoyed watching.
Don't know if the problem lies with me or if Korean Drama land just lost some of its appeal (to me at least)...
This is not an actual review...just my feels towards this drama.
I'm an Hyeri Fan...I just love her...so I was really looking forward to this, even though I hadn't read the webtoon.
It's just my kind of drama...I went in ..no expectations.
SO YEAH...
I was totally blown away from ep 1...and it just kept getting better...every character...their growth, the plot, the backdrop, everything was so good...it really was a pleasure watching this... all the Cameos... had me in stitches...
I HOPE everyone enjoys this as much as I did!
Take care and happy drama watching!
XOXO

Please give us a sequel!!
I just finished the last episode 10 minutes ago and I'm so happy with the ending. After the emotional rollercoaster the past two episodes took me on, the finale did not disappoint!One thing though–I'm obsessed with the side couples. Badly. So badly that I NEED a sequel where we get some more character development for them. I'm specifically talking about one side couple that was introduced in the last episode (I dare not spoil) but I BET I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE FEELING THIS WAY.
Anyway, if you're on the fence about watching this and you love jang ki yong and hyeri as much as I do... WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR??? Watch it! I did and I have no regrets.

Solid, Cute KDrama
So now that I've seen Doom At Your Service I realize that show reminds me of this show in that they both have a fantasy element, an innocent girl who gets wrapped up with said fantasy element and that both men are very cold and stoic... until they're not.The only difference for me is that by episode seven of Doom I desperately wanted to quit watching as I felt no chemistry between them despite my love for the actress. And there wasn't enough charisma or charm coming from the male lead alone to really keep my interest.
I'm not sure I'd re-watch this, but it was a solid little love story for me.

What a great show
I'm glad I took the time to watch this. It's a great show. The acting was great, the story was good and very interesting. A lot of different twists and turns but it kept me interested from start to finish. there was also some really cute and funny moments in the show. I'm glad that there was a happy ending to the show. Most shows don't or maybe it's just the ones I watch lol. But that's all I will give away because I do believe it's worth watching. I can understand why this show has a 8.3 MDL rating.Was this review helpful to you?
LOVED IT...
definitely worth watching . the chemistry that was between the actors is just so mind=blowing . the story is not new , we already saw dramas with such plots but this one here is special in its own way . one thing i would say that wasn't my cup of tea is the last ep , half the episode dam spent it crying , the last ep felt rushed to me but overall i highly recommend this lovely drama . i was hooked from the first ep till the last . since i'm a college student myself , i do not mind finding a gumiho of my own lolWas this review helpful to you?
Romcom > Fantasy
This drama was a funny and laid-back one that you can watch with a light heart and without stress just as Kang Han-Na said in their interview.This is adapted from a webtoon with the same title. And with regards to that, I have nothing to say as I haven't read the webtoon yet.
I can assure you that the actors' chemistry was over the roof! Your heart will burst from their fluttering interactions. Even off-cam and on interviews their chemistry is tremendous. I expected that some scenes will be very cliche as this is a romcom but I was surprised the scenes were creative, well-made, and very high in quality.
I was also surprised by our female lead's attitude as she is very straightforward. Her fashion style was also lovely!
The OSTs were great and remarkable that every time you hear that song it will be nostalgic after watching the drama. They also played a BGM which was very cutesy and nice that made the scene more heartwarming.
I only got dissatisfied with one thing; there were problems left hanging but then I understand as those were not very crucial. But over that, I enjoyed the drama a lot and it made me very ecstatic.

Amazing!
Omg!!! This was probably one of the best kdramas I’ve seen in a long time!!! This was amazing! I’m so sad to see it end!! The actors they casted for every single role was fantastic, especially for Woo Yeo!! The only things I would say tho is that I wish we could have seen Sookyung and Seok’s romance blossom in the middle of the drama like Jaejin and Hye Sun!! Other than that I loved this drama so much! It had the perfect blend of Comedy, Romance, and even Sadness!! I wish there was a 2nd season, but I kinda liked how it ended!! Overall I HIGHLY recommend watching this drama!! It doesn’t matter if you don’t like fantasy show’s or not!! THIS IS WORTH IT!!!Was this review helpful to you?
Entertaining
It was a nice drama with lots of comedy, I would recommend it if you are looking for a light story.At first I was really hooked with the characters and the main couple, but I slowly started to lose interest in them. To be honest the ML had a kind of bland personality while the FL was great, she was lively, fun and determined. Their love story wouldn´t have worked if not for all her effort.
The story was predictable but overall entertaining.
The best thing for me were the side characters, the friendship between them was hilarious to watch.
