Also the romance part got me. I was so caught in it that I was smiling/suffering alongside the characters.
As a conclusion..watch the series! It's really good.
I'm sure you'll like it.

Logically, there were a lot of flaws and inconsistencies in the storyline. There was stuff that didn't make sense and stuff that was too ludicrous to believe, even accepting that it's a fantasy world. And sometimes the characters were just so dumb, you just wanted to shake them! But even with all of that, this drama was still amazing.
In a vague way, this drama reminded me a lot of Queen In Hyun's Man. The plot lines aren't really similar, but the feeling of love you got from Dae Woong is really similar to what I get from Boong Du.
The cast just did an amazing job, even the supporting roles. I adore the grandfather to pieces, he was just so adorable, always trying to do what's right for this daughter and grandson. And though the relationship with the director and Min Sook was absolutely ridiculous, it was fun as heck to watch.
I will admit, I did get bored towards the end of the drama, episode 15 being a completely waste of time. I mean, I understand why it was necessary, I just didn't enjoy it. And then episode 16 came along and I cried buckets.
In all seriousness, if you haven't added this drama to your list already, it needs to happen ASAP. This is not a drama that any person who loves love stories should miss.

The story was interesting, and it was something I thought was a twist on a standard romance. The fantasy element brought in an interesting situation. The mix of comedy was very nice, making it far more fun to watch.
The actors did a good job and I loved the relationships between all of the characters. Even the female antagonist was a character that I enjoyed to hate.
It was a very consistent drama, being a balanced mixture of serious things and comedy. The beginning and the ending were probably the weakest parts of the drama.
At the start it was somewhat slow, but it was quick to pick up, which was great, because it continued on at a steady pace.
The ending was a different matter, though, and I found it somewhat hard to drag myself through them, though it picked up for the very end, maybe a bit too fast.
It was supposed to be sad, I suppose, before ending happy again, but while the sad was there, the ending resolved itself far too quickly. It was rushed, and I felt like I had been somewhat cheated, I guess.
While it was sweet, and it made me cry a bit, it was far too fast and in that way, I was unsatisfied. Not to mention that the time span IN the drama was also very short, which made the event very, I suppose, unimportant-feeling. It didn't sink in,
Otherwise, it was very interesting, and I enjoyed it very much. Don't miss out just because of the ending, as the whole story was good, and the characters were even better.
I'd also say it's very good for rewatching, as you don't need to be too invested in the storyline, and it's entertaining and sweet.

I don't know how many actors can portray being a wild animal so perfectly while still being absolutely loveable at the same time. I never once forgot that Shin Min Ah's character Mi Ho was a fox-in-human-form, and yet I was always rooting for her.
I was fascinated by an interpretation of a fox not as a sly, cunning, thieving and wicked beast, but as a curious, naive and playful creature who wanted to be loved as much as she wanted to be human. She can also be menacing at times, but it's judiciously used, and almost always for comedic effect. Also, I love Mi Ho's delight in eating beef and that her favorite color is brown because it's the color of cow.
Another thing I loved about this series was the secondary couple of Cha Dae Woong's spinster aunt Cha Min Sook and his boss Ban Doo Hong, who have so many awkward encounters, and are extremely dorky at times. They own it. Another great moment involves Ban Doo Hong thinking he knocks down a brick wall just by peeing on it, and how the owner of the wall has him arrested for being a pervert.
When Shin MinAh’s window of time with Lee Seunggi begins to close, she tells herself, “I don’t need five hundred years or fifty years. Fifty beautiful days is good enough.” She is an old creature, but she has never truly lived, only existed. This gumiho had lived 500 years but she had never truly felt alive until meeting Lee Seunggi. He, likewise, found real meaning and selfless love while at her side. Just thinking about it makes me weepy. The length of time, centuries or days, is less important than the way one spends it.
I bet you will like Shin MinAh after watching this great rom com drama.

There are plenty of moments, specifically Yun Yu Seon & Sung Dong Il's romance, that offer some ridiculous comic relief. Sometimes I had a hard time following how the mythology of the gumiho's story linked to Park Dong Joo character, but that didn't stop me from being entertained by his manipulation. I'm sure there were flaws in the Gumiho story, but it really didn't matter to me. I also absolutely hated Park Soo Jin's character, which means she played her well.
This is one of my favorite dramas so far, so I definitely recommend it, and will rewatch it. The song "Fox Rain" is now one of my absolute favorite kdrama ost songs, and whenever I see a sunshower I can't help but sing it in my head.
Don't watch on an empty stomach, or you will probably start to crave beef.

This drama also plays to a good range of emotions; I was laughing my butt off at some parts, screaming at my screen at other parts, and sobbing through others, all signs of a good drama.
It also helps that all the actors are quite attractive.
One of the things I always look to determine a good drama is whether or not the side-stories are worth the time put into them, and this drama did a relatively good job with side characters that were actually likable and a cute story line.
Finally, one of my favorite characters in every drama is usually the hanaboji, and once again Byun Hee Bong does a fantastic job.
Overall worth watching, pleasing to watch, wonderful music, and satisfies the average drama-watcher's need for cute romantic scenes and heart-wrenching moments.
Rewatch value is low only because I believe there are so many dramas to watch that spending another 16+ hours watching something you've seen isn't a valuable use of time. (My opinion only)

The acting is superb, music is exceptional and it provides everything you are looking in a romantic comedy. There is nothing that i would like to be improved. Its just perfect
This drama alone has turned alot of people, who previously used to look down on me for being an ardent K-drama fan, into K-drama fanatics themselves, after watching this on my insistent recommendation. I myself have watched the drama 3 times and each time i have enjoyed more than before.
Highly recommended!!!

Awesome drama. I love it.
The plot was interesting and it was something new for me, so I decided to give it a try. The first episode was a bit boring in my opinion, but next episodes were awesome. It was so impressing and had a big impact for me.
At the beginning, Mi Ho annoyed me. I thought she was annoying, slutty and bossy. I'm happy I was wrong. I love her very much. The character is cute and innocent. She was always dressed in white dresses ^^. Sin Min A did a really great job. I think she really looks like a fox ^^.
Dae Wang was just too cute. I like his behavior changing. He was a spoiled brat, but he became a very responsible guy. Hehe ^^. Lee Seung Gi did an awesome job. Now I love him ^^.
Hye In annoyed me to death. She was so nasty and fake. She was too insistent, but she was somehow realistic in my opinion.
Dong Ju was cute, even if sometimes he annoyed me. Yea, I' too irascible, I know xD.
The OST was brilliant! Fox Rain is amazing! The lyrics are exceptional. It really makes me cry when I hear it. But it's.. awesome.
I enjoyed it very much. Now it's my favorite drama. The ending was exceptional. That's how a drama should end. It made me cry and laugh so easily. I love it.
I highly recommend it if you want something nice, with an interesting plot and good characters d(n_n)b.
