one of the best romcoms i've seen
The chemistry was out of this world good. The storyline wasn't messy at all and it was SO enjoyable. I really liked the characters the actors played and how well they did it. Romance was romancing and it was burning. I'm so glad I finally decided to watch it although 5 years have passed since it first aired. THIS IS YOUR SIGN TO WATCH IT!!!!Was this review helpful to you?
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.

A romcom at its finest
I LOVED this show. Lee Hye -ri is an AMAZING actress. For her to stay in character and not break it to laugh at herself is a true feat. Some of the stuff and expressions she did had me rolling. She is a very versatile actress too. Can be hilarious when she needs to be but serious too.And let’s talk about Jang Ki-yong. He is dreamy with a smile that melts you to your core. Really, if he was in a show and all he did was smile I would still watch it.
This romcom was done right.

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.

I WANT MORE!!
I loved this drama so much! It isnt perfect and some things were iritating, but the good thing about it far outweight the bad. I mainly loved the romance which is really sweet and intimate and the main leads have great chemistry.
So I 100% recommend this kdrama!

...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
