Eye Candy Fantasy RomCom to quench ur thirst.

Well, I finished it! Yipee!, cant say I do it now a days..very evident by my trail of drops and holds!

Plot:  nothing new..but the execution and the small elements tat made it; was amazing.. a new take on old story..better than tale of nine tail. I loved the twist in Soo hung love story..that was "ha ha he"

Acting: each actor played their role beautifully..even the supporting characters made it oh so very entertaining..be it her studious fnd and her rival...be it her close bud and his romances..the third wheel in love triangle...the various guest roles...everyone played their part nicely adding to the grand story.
FL char development was very evident in how she s first scared of ML and later gets bold, honest & loving.
MLs cute innocent love for her but at the same time he s a gumiho and acts like one. His comments on "is this why I learnt magic" at FL or to himself was very realistic..the plot was taken as realistic as possible within given reasonings...

Chemistry was wow : And the man! Jang Ki Yong could kiss..their first kiss was my my...H.O.T....and ocoz he s cute n a freaking eye candy as the title goes!!

Friendship: wow I really envy the fndship and their interactions....FL Dam and her buds fnds Jae Jin and Soo Kyung ..our fox Woo Yeo and his lady companion fox turned human HyeSun. The cute rival between Soo Hyung and Jung Suk....the siblings Dam and Dan's...Seo woo n Sun woo.

What I liked:
1. I always hated plot where a powerful being wants to became punny human...oh come on!!!  I would rather u stay powerful and retain humanity.But this is one of the very few dramas where the reason for his wanting to become human was justified. And also, got us (furry pet parents) thinking! Very true...only humans have the free will to choose their own destiny..animals don't!!!

2. Dan n Dan's mom.. wow wat a classy lady..and their life motto...handle it yourself..ha ha..

3. HyeSun's innocence and taking things in literal sense!!!

Wat I hated: MLs monopoly of their relationship!! He never..I mean lik never says anything to Dam...I like that his fndship with Hyesun is old n strong.. am for it...but damn Dam is ur life partner..include her in ur closed grp sharing of 1 《Hye Sun》and decisions!!!

Music: can't say I even remember any...goes to say it not Catchy!

Overall: Give it a try, won't regret it..who knows u might end up liking it...I DID!!!!
