...Now What Do I Do?
It's the type of kdrama u would wanna lose ur memory just to watch all over again...finished this kdrama in only TWO DAYS. I literally binged it nonstop, and now I’m sitting here like, “Where has this been all my life?!” It’s my first time watching a fantasy supernatural drama, and honestly, it totally gave me Kamisama Kiss vibes, and I MISS it so much I could cry.
The heroine? Hilariously adorable but not cringe at all like, she’s the kind of funny that makes u laugh till ur stomach hurts but doesn’t make u want to hide in a closet. Embarrassing moments? Yea, they happen, but it’s that kind of cringe u can laugh at, not the “I want to crawl under a rock and hide forever” kind from secondhand embarrassments smh. And the male lead? A man☕...SO funny in his own way, super attractive, and honestly, kinda different from ur typical “I’m-too-perfect” hero. Their chemistry? ON FIRE—like, I was giggling so hard I almost snorted my drink out my nose. I was hugging my pillow, giggling like a crazy person, and just totally relaxed the whole time, but ngl I was sweating just watching them.
There’s drama, but it’s the kind that makes u go “aww” instead of “kill me now.” And the misunderstandings? THANK GOD they weren’t those annoying, exaggerated, scream-into-the-void type. Nope, they’re all light, breezy, and solved in the most realistic, non-drama-queen way possible. Honestly, it’s a miracle—who knew that avoiding the usual cringe-worthy tropes would feel so refreshing?...like no “Did u see the way he looked at her?! THE BETRAYAL!” or “I won’t talk to u for five years” drama lol—thank you, universe! The humor hits just right; I found myself laughing out loud most of the time lol.
And the ending? PERFECTION. 16 episodes—just enough to make u sad it’s over but not enough to make u wish for more. Yeah, I’m THAT person who’s already considering rewatching it because I miss it so bad.
And if I had to pick a favorite thing? It’s definitely how they handled everything—no silly plot twists just for the drama’s sake... gave me Kamisama Kiss vibes... I swear, I’m gonna rewatch it just to relive all the cuteness.

Crazy show with crazy, out-of-the-world chemistry between the leads
I'm the type if person who mostly watch kdramas for leisure, that's it. But these romcom made me do crazy things such as create my own twitter account, everyday check on feeds regarding MRIAG, watch all clips on IQIYI and actually stan the actors on their IG accounts.I wouldn't say this was the best that I watched in 2021 (as there are an array of REALLY good kdramas currently airing such as HP and PWIL -but they are of diff genre) , however the memory of these show leaves a warm fuzzy feeling and a smile on my face.
Not the "best" i watched for all years of watching kdramas, but I'd say this is among my TOP 10 and is the BEST ROMCOM of all time for me.
By the way, did I mention the leads have electrifying chemistry on and off screen?
'Cause they do. Check it out!

HUMANS CAN DECIDE THEIR OWN FATE
If there's a lot on your plate and you can't decide what to watch next i guess My roomate is a gumiho can be the one. The drama was sweet . tbh I enjoyed the second leads more than the main ones. While continuing the drama I found sometimes the drama was too slow or dragging , I felt few episodes some parts to be boring enough or irrelevant for the drama but other than that I absolutely loved the drama how the way it went. The ending was wrapped was so beautifully , we got to see so many couples paired up at the end except one but it was meaningful enough to let go of your loved ones. In , True Beauty , how bad we felt for the 2nd lead you might feel that too. The story revolved around fate , destiny , multiple separation between the main leads which was quite frustrating enough but at the same time funny at times too , the female lead made so wrong decision at times .Ok so why I gave 8 overall because I felt some how the chemistry lacked between the main lead and even sometimes the female lead went really out of the box to leave him at bad times maybe her character was portrayed as to be naive or dumb but she was fun too . I once again say that I loved the 2nd lead more. THE WHOLE DRAMA WAS EXACTLY OR JUST SIMILAR TO MY MAN IS CUPID . If you are watching this drama after My man is cupid yk what i mean. As I said there were good scenes but something was missing in this whole drama the entire . u are good to go for a 1 watch but I won't really rewatch it
That's how I felt the entire time

A Hell Of A Ride
Really enjoyed the drama initially, Woo Yeo and Dam were very fun to watch. I'm a little dissapointed with some of the choices made in their relationship as it got closer to the end (Woo Yeo is jealousy is just too much to bare). I adored the supporting cast and the college life, it was a real joy to see that and I couldn't help but reminisce of my college days pre-pandemic. The couples and friendships were the real stunners of this show honestly, *chefs kiss*. Check out my full review here: https://youtu.be/jiBQA0tZfM8Was this review helpful to you?
Masterpiece fairy tale
This drama is really about games people play, stealing energy from each other. Stealing by sex is the easiest. people cannot resist giving attention and/or body to anyone who coddles them, so ... various predators abuse that.So gumiho is basically an immature person who lives by the above theft.
FL actress perfect acts a college student brat
ML is scary spookey with that spookey creepy smile so he is a perfect gumiho

Satisfying to watch and bingeworthy!
As someone who really liked the webtoon that the show was based on, I was really satisfied with the first two episodes. Although there were some cuts that I found awkward and a bit cringy, I think the show is worth watching. The casting was also PERFECT. I loved Lee Hye Ri in Reply 1988 so I guess I'm a bit biased, but casting her for Lee Dam was genius. She nailed all the scenes that made me laugh in the webtoon as well. Kang Han Na was also superb and brought a different side to her character which really surprised me (the good kind of surprise). I also liked Lee Dam's relationship with the two male leads. I haven't decided which male lead I like more yet. Anyway, if you want something light-hearted and funny. Watch it!(Side note: Honestly, I highly recommend putting it off or saving episodes first so you can binge watch it. I'm dying to watch the next episodes now and I hate how I have to wait for more episodes.)

A 1000 Years Old Charming Gumiho
Since this drama remained beautiful, interesting and entertaining in its entirety, from episode 1 to episode 16, then I will simply repeat my initial impression from episode 1.How can I say this using the most simplest words in the English dictionary…?
I simply loved this drama.
What a world of difference between “My Roommate is a Gumiho” and “Doom at Your Service.”
From A to Z… The writing, the casting, the general acting, the directing and THE COMICAL LINES were on point.
I am so happy that I waited for the full completion before I started it.
My Roommate is a Gumiho has become my third favorite Gumiho’s storyline after…
- Gu Family Book
- Gumiho: Tale of the Fox's Child

FUNNY AS HELL
I think that if you find the genres of romance and fantasy interesting you'll like this drama. It gives me very much DAYS vibes maybe combined with some aspects of Goblin so as a reference if you liked the two dramas I previously mentioned, you'll most likely enjoy this too.This drama has a nice plot (as far as I can tell from the six episodes that have aired) and I believe it will get more interesting as one new character seems to be joining the story. Im really hoping for a nice and happy ending :) (UNLIKE YOU KNOW WHICH FANTASY-ROMANCE DRAMA THAT AIRED IN 2016!!!)
AHHH important note: you will laugh soooooo much in every episode.
Once again, I'm reviewing about the six episodes that have aired, so if you're reading this from the future and it gets boring or somebody dies (GOD PLEASE NO) please dont blame me!! and gooooo watch it rn!!!!!
PS: My only complaint is that it's still airing and I like to bingeeeeee
PS #2: I'm wathing on viki if you're wondering :)))

worst kdrama i've watched
Honestly, this drama was pretty bad. It was boring and I just can't stand the ML face he's not handsome. The FL is annoying she's trying way too hard to be funny. I forced myself to watch it, because of the good reviews. Kdramas are becoming disapoiting this days.The FL should have chosen the SML he's way more handsome and interesting than the ML. Don't waste ur time on this one. You'll be disapointed.
I've never seen a character as annoying as the FML. She's not even pretty but she's acting like she's better than everyone else. She got way too much attitude.

Drama I thought I would love..
It really started off good. I like FL characterization and I don't where it lost but i lost idea of continuing this drama. I feel like it might be an overrated drama or fantasies are just not for me. I really not sure what I know is that this was not for me. AND YES I LEFT IT IN THE MIDDLE.Was this review helpful to you?
Highly recommended
I wasn’t sure what to expect but after reading some raving reviews about it, I decided to give a try. And it’s a pleasant surprise. It’s a refreshing blend of mystery, fantasy, romance, etc. I certainly didn’t expect to laugh aloud at Hyeri’s comedic antics and gestures at episode 2. Almost had me in tears. Yes, indeed Jang Ki Yong is not your average gumiho. He is polite, composed, poised and charming. Wait till he meets Lee Hyeri, goofy, unrefined, unpolished with a heart of gold. Both of them shine in their roles. Bae In Hyuk is wow. Where did he come from? And all other supporting casts are equally good. Tune in for more!Was this review helpful to you?
Superb!!
Awesome plot, great cast, lovely soundtrack. Waiting for more!! Loving it. The chemistry between the leads is excellent from the first moment. The acting of the entire cast is fabulous. The dresses and fashion is totally new. I have seen Jang ki yong in Come and hug me, i knew he would be a great fit for the series, seeing the first episode only confirmed it. I absolutely love Hyeri and her expressions. The entire cast is superb! Love from Canada!! Good luck!! Very excited to watch the entire series.Was this review helpful to you?
