My Girlfiriend is Gumiho ended on 30th of September with a happy ending, Lee Seung Ki who played the main character Cha Tae Woogn released his own version of “I will love you from now on” on 4th of October to thank the fans who supported the drama.
Very lovely done with some behind the scene footage, my heart just melts when I hear the music and seeing the two of them together again. We will miss you!
Enjoy…
What happened to the highly anticipated drama – Naughty / Playful kiss? It started with below 4% rating for its first 2 episodes airing this week. But rating is not always the true reflection, Kiss is up against a very strong and consistent performing drama, Bread, Love and Dream and the re-tell of Gumiho myth with strong writers of the Hong sisters (who also made big successes out of My Girl and You’re beautiful). When you watch the 3 dramas airing together, you will find Naughty Kiss is a bit light weighted.
This is the heavyweight champion. This week, it has again kept its viewers engaged with the story. We saw a turning point when Tak Goo agreed to work as the deputy president of Goo’s bread company. That got me excited, as we know Tak Goo can make bread and is naturally talented, but how will he work as an executive. I am sure for those who watched the recent last 2 episodes, you must have been through the ups and downs with Tak Goo. Then the story developed an other focus, Ma Joon and Yoo Kyung were about to get married. We sort of sensed Yoo Kyung still had feelings for Tak Koo, how will the story move now?
This show has sure not disappointed us as it moves quickly and you never know what will happen the next minute although you kind of know where it is going, or actually no idea at all.
The show continues with the Hong sisters strong writing, we are attracted to this innocent Gumiho and touched by the chemistry between the main leads. I have to say, now it has reached its mid-point I believe Lee Seung Ki has done a great job playing Tae Woong. It may be Gumiho by Shi Min Ah who got my attention at first but now it is the Tae Woong by Lee Seung Ki who touches me. Very sweet week for the two main leads and also the story developed quickly as they both started to think about each other seriously.
Unlike the two dramas above, that we have no clue about the story. This drama is based on a well-known Japanese manhwa and was also made into a popular Taiwanese version – It started with a Kiss. So the story is out in the open, we look for the chemistry between the casts and production crew to make this show more interesting. (I will have a separate post to talk about this show in detail at a later stage when it develops a bit more.)
For now it certainly appears to be a bit slow comparing with the other two dramas airing on the same days who are more dramatic and tightly paced. I certainly like some parts of this drama and definitely will follow it a bit longer. I hope Kiss will pleasantly surprise us!
What to watch next? I am certainly following all the three but with priorities. Are you watching any of these?
Here is a clip where you will hear the main leads talk about their own roles and characters in My Girlfriend is Gumiho.
Hoyi Hoyi! I am loving this show, how about you?
My girlfriend is Gumiho aired on 11th of August with Lee Seung Ki and Shin Min Ah as its leads. It started well by drawing a good percentage of viewers with its witty, cute and unconventional approach to the story of a 500 hundred years old fox with nine tails trying to be human in a modern world.
The 1st episode was a bit slow for me but the 2nd episode definitely picked up the speed and I was engaged through out. Lee Seung Ki plays Cha Tae Woong, a college student who sees himself as the next big Kung Fu movie star just waiting for his big break. Shin Min Ah is the Gumiho, this cute and honest creature in human form. Unlike how it is said in myth that Gumiho eats human, this Gumiho has a kind heart and loves beef! Hahahaha!
Fate brought them together whether they like it or not. I am not sure how the story will develop, but for now I can’t wait to watch the next episode!
How about you? Will you give it a try?
