Actually, I don’t know if any of you knows what I’ll be blabbering about, but what the hell.

My Girlfriend is a Gumiho is a new drama of the famous Hong Sisters (they are the writers of My Girl and You’re Beautiful) which just aired last August 11. It stars Lee Seung Gi, of Shining Inheritance, and Shin Min ah.

It is a story about a guy (a beta-male, clumsy and dumb guy he is) who accidentally frees a nine-tailed fox also called as a gumiho, who’s been locked in a painting for 500 years. When he was dying because he fell from a cliff, the gumiho gives her bead (kinda like the source of her powers) to heal the guy. However, the doctor’s fee has to cost him a lot of cow’s meat and patience because the gumiho, having given to him the source of her powers, has to stick with him all.the.time. And so the journey starts. ;)

I love this drama because the story is so fresh! Too cute for words, actually. It’s only once in a blue moon that beta-male leads the story because it’s always the cold and mysterious who’s winning everybody’s hearts. Ehem. I seriously am thanking everyone involved for not casting Sandara Park for the role. Shin Min Ah is so perfect in portraying the gumiho that I am thinking that it's her past life. That adorable fox makes me giggle all the time. Tee hee.

You might have noticed that I watch a number of Korean dramas. It’s because I’m a sucker for the cute and Korean romcoms give all the cute that I need. There’s always a fresh and very light story ahead, comic relief and less angst. It’s enough to make my day.
