My Roommate Is a Gumiho (2021)

Both dramas portray a relationship between a nine-tailed fox and a human.
.........................................

Same writer and director. Besides the fantasy elements in gumiho both dramas are structured very similarly and have the same kind of humor.

Both dramas have a ML who is a supernatural creature (nine tailed fox vs. merman) and a human FL who accidentally kisses him and swallows his pearl/bead. In order to retrieve it before it kills her, the two end up living together, and fall in love.

-supernatural ML
-special connections with FL
-first meeting bumping into each other and ML sharing a special "token"
after ep 1 , overall feeling of the two dramas , colours, warmth level etc.. are very similar.

-Both have supernatural characters
-Both have a lovely male lead
-Female lead is cute and realistic with her own goals and determination
-soundtrack is lovely
-has traditional theming
-both are full length romance dramas that keep you hooked
-They have ups and downs in the story and are dramatic in places
-The romance is very addictive
-They make you want to date the lead characters in real life as they are so lovely

My Roommate Is a Gumiho. The drama tells us the story of Shin Woo Yeo, who is a 999-year-old nine-tailed fox. He has to make his bead turn blue in order to become a human. He falls in love with Lee Dam, a young college student, both the male leads are foxes ^_^

The red string fate... Always been a huge fan of this concept... Though both the dramas depict it in a different way... But who wouldn't love the coincidences of fate...

Both stories are similar in terms of the fantasy world. My roommate is a Gumiho is about a guy who is a gumiho, very likable, warm character. My love from the star is about a guy who is an alien.

A "supernatural" ML with the cute overzealous FL mix up
Tho Lee Dam was a total gen Z, I don't think seul hae is a gen Z but she's being cute millennial

Both male leads have lived for hundreds of years.
Both male leads falls in love with a human female lead

Both have the same vibe, silly light romcom but both leads are cute and great actors

For me personally there’s a fine line between cheesy and flat, and cheesy yet fun

Similar stories, with the male lead being non-human, both really great stories if you're a fantasy lover and haven't already seen this one!
