My roommate is a gumiho
Spoilers - I am not sure if there will be, maybe some little ones, but still I put a warning.
It is one of the dramas which are a proof that something can be really good but it needs a right time to watch.
When it came out I thought that it was too childish/stupid? (from tiktok videos) and at the same time Doom at your service was released (which I love!) and for what I should have watch two shows with the same vibe? And do not get me wrong they are pretty similar. There are many similar thropes - white truck, forgetting, breaking up, non human-human love. But Days is more mature, dark and sad while this one (sorry, mrig does not look good as a short title version) is more comedy, light and goofy. Both have sad and happy/comedy moments but Doom is like a night while Gumiho like a day. Maybe you will understand what I mean.
Also I was not really a fun of Lee Hyeri (until I watched her in Friendly rivarly). Actually the same thing with Jang Ki Yong (until The atypical family). And as far as I love actors more in these mentioned dramas, they did here really great. Acting was good and chemistry was nice - and I really like them as a couple. In LHR' case she could easily end up with Bae In Hyuk and in my opinion it still would be good. One more thing with tiktok and this drama - people potrayed BIH's characters as total as*hole - do not get me wrong, going out because of the bet is bad but he pretty soon called it off and felt really bad about it, so I think people should let him leave, in the end he was not a bad guy. While in JKY's case I felt like we moved on too soon from the fact that he actually "cheated".
Second couple was really cute, I loved them. I also liked idea of Choi Woo Sung and Kim Do Yeon being as a couple (siblings of LHR and BIH)
Perfect cameos: Jung So Min ( was giving a little Aerith's vibe from Final Fantasy VII), Kang Mi Na and Oh Jungg Se.
Hmm what to say more - girls had many beautiful outfits, love that LHR was wearing skinny jeans (it looks good! not everything needs to be buggy).
One more thing - Lee Hyeri looked like Chaewom from Le sserafim in this hairstyle (and when she had ponytail a little as Yuqi from I-dle) and I could not unseen it.
Okay to sum up: really nice drama, funny (in a little silly way), cute, a little sad, perfect acting. If you like non-human and human romance then it is a must have (and if you love Doom at service as much as me you need to give it a chance, really "siblings" dramas).
