a cute, light-hearted kdrama 7.8/10!!

Story: I read the webtoon and absolutely adored it so i decided to give the drama a watch, and it was pretty good. They adds a back story for Mr.Gumiho and i think that's nice! The Cast really brings to life my favorite webtoon.

I'm at ep. 9, I dont know why they added the Murder + Supernatural shit,... and it's getting boring for me. The pacing at the first is pretty good, because it's fast paced compared with the webtoon, but i always have to skip the cheesy romance scenes with lengthy dialogues, mostly about Mr. Gumiho's [lack of]-feelings thingy, or scenes where Female Lead mindlessly, sadly walk alone on the street... Or scenes where the Main Leads just stares at each other (like i get that they tried to be expressive, but i guess they can cut them out so those scenes can be shorter, and less boring! :D)

Cast/Acting:
Lee Dam/Lee Hyeri: I read a article on kenh14 (our Vietnamese tabloid) criticizing Lee Hyeri's acting and ughhhhh, she slayed and saved this show!! Lee Dam here is so cute! Both drama Dam and webtoon Dam is funny, but the drama Dam is more lively and relatable (look at her eating scenes >w<, an authentic representation of Gen Z), while webtoon Dam gives off a cold girl vibe (or is it bc the art haha) who has a great sense of humor

The Male Lead: I thought his smiles are a little stiff and awkward in romance scenes (e.g. The stair scene with Dam, while he says "i think of you as my niece") I watched their interview, and yeahhh, loll, his natural laugh is different from the drama's (like natural smiles tend to be cotagious) ... He definitly has more room to improve his acting ^^ , Fighting Male Lead ssi.

The Second Leads (Jae Jin and the Gumiho Woman): They're adorable, Hye Sun is such a fun character which ive never seen before. Han Na defly kills this role since i don't care much about her character in the webtoon, but here she managed to portrait a weird, reluctant but beautiful friendship with Mr.Gumiho ( i still dont remember the names). Jae Jin the character is sweet too!

The romance/The chemistry (Main Leads): it was okay, and nice i guess... 7.8/10 <3 Havent felt that much butterfly in my stomach tho

The friendship: I adore the trio * * while I think Soo Kyung character should have more screen time cuz she's so cutee and hilarious

Music + Fashion + Filming Set:
Their house + the scenes + The furniture is too nice i love itttt! Beautiful scenery. The fashion is pretty great, esp. Hye Sun's! I'm a little disappointed in Dam's outfits tho haha (like it's okay— just common college students fit)

Might drop this even though the past 9 eps i watched were worth the time!!

PS: Đang xem thấy chị nào xinh đẹp quá ra là Jung So Min nhà mìnhhhh
cameo thui mà diễn hay hết sức

Light hearted, lovely chemistry but not satisfying enough

The chemistry between 2 leads is really good. The story has a promising premise, and the drama is pretty interesting... But Just up to ep 20...

The unnecessary business politics takes up so much screentime. I need more romance of our leads.

Also, the chemistry in the friendship of Min Kyu and the Santa Maria team seems forced, many scenes seem so corny (for example where they all sit watching Aji-3 go outside for the first time)..., the Aji 3 character part is corny too...

The side couples romance is not that cute either... Welp... Except for the kinda villain couple, their chem is pretty good...

The ending seems rushed,... Haiz.... They could've added more cute moments for our main couples... Where is the wedding, the kids, the future life....

Chae Soobin and Seung ho's acting is good tho... I feel touching in the emotional parts... The break up scene between fml and her ex was good too... Also, this drama has the hottest kissing scene i've ever seen (kitchen ep).

But overall, the pacing of this drama is too slow for me, and how they solve conflict is... questionable... The acting saves the show tbh... Later on, they have nothing to add in the story and it's so dry... As someone said in the discussion, the ending seems like a totally different show, it lost its romcom charm, the potential i feel in the chemistry slowly fades... Like ML came back from military, they kiss, and boom, ending?? Wuttt??? They could have portrayed how different our couple is after they start dating, like, the arrogant guy become a total puppy or sth... Loll... At least that what i wanna see

Also, a random useless rant, no one in this drama actually speaks good English lol, including the intelligent robot...

I enjoyed it anyway.... Chae soobin is soooooo pretty
