My weekly date with the fox and his muse is done. tvN Wed-Thurs romance fantasy drama My Roommate is a Gumiho finished this week, starting off strong over 5% but settling into the low 4% and high 3% ratings during its entire run. It ended averaging 3.9126% which is good for a rom-com and actually better than I expected in … Continue reading →
The list of models turned actor in the last decade in South Korea is aplenty but the top undoubtedly remains Kim Woo Bin followed by Ryu Jun Yeol. Towards the bottom there are quite a few more conventionally handsome tall hunks who are less nuanced and adept at acting, and yet I just have a soft spot for them. I … Continue reading →
My initial rabid adoration of tvN Wed-Thurs drama My Roommate is a Gumiho (Frightening Cohabitation) has calmed down to sweet satisfaction, this drama is still my bae in every way and I’m getting around to appreciating its unexpected cadences. It’s less hokey and slap stick, more sensitive and serious, and somehow balances staying just so cute and charming. I thought … Continue reading →
I think getting cast in tons of high profile stuff does indeed mean one has to weather any criticism that may come your way, and it’s pile on time for 20-something actors Song Kang and Jang Ki Yong. Both are currently in airing K-dramas Nevertheless and My Roommate is a Gumiho, and K-netizens overwhelming think both are sucking big time. … Continue reading →
This week SBS did a program 2021 Showcase which featured discussion and first look stills of upcoming dramas on its calendar. I was drooling with excitement when it got to the upcoming romance drama Now, We are Breaking Up with Song Hye Kyo and Jang Ki Yong. It’s set in the fashion industry which always elicits a groan from me … Continue reading →
I still really enjoy My Roommate is a Gumiho but the crackiness of the first four episodes has died down a bit this week. I found episodes 5 and 6 to be sweet cute watches but it also felt like the plot didn’t move much. While Dam and Woo Yeo continue to live together and get to know one another, … Continue reading →
Since I don’t follow either Hyeri or Jang Ki Yong I genuinely have no clue what they look like for the most part outside of their currently airing drama My Roommate is a Gumiho. And there both are just jjjjjaaaaaannnnnggg to the nth degree, he’s captured the tall, handsome, but not overly brooding mystique and she’s just a bundle of … Continue reading →
I found my drama crack of 2021 and it’s definitely tvN Wed-Thurs fantasy rom-com My Roommate is a Gumiho (Frightening Cohabitation). My adoration of this drama is up there with how much I loved Start-up last year, less that the drama is a “work of art” but rather the drama “works my heart”. It makes me love and care about … Continue reading →
I’ll preface this by saying that newly arrived tvN Wed-Thurs romance fantasy drama My Roommate is a Gumiho is not a quality drama in any respect. Not writing, directing, or acting, and yet it’s my newest drama crack. Like, I love it! It’s so flimsy, low-budget, and ridiculously watchable. The first episode actually got high premiere ratings of 5.282% but … Continue reading →
I don’t know why I’m lowkey super excited for the next tvN Wed-Thurs drama My Roommate is a Gumiho. By all accounts expectations should be low but Mouse really wore me out and a silly fun rom-com can totally refill the drama meter. The drama airs on tvN this Wednesday with a simulcast on Chinese streaming giant iQiyi, which co-produced … Continue reading →
I feel like these two are overdue for a well received drama, and by gosh I’m rooting for them now. Jang Ki Yong and Hyeri are about to return to the small screen with the fantasy romance My Roommate is a Gumiho but we get a first glimpse of their onscreen visuals and chemistry in the newly released pictorial on … Continue reading →
Well, this really is happening and I’m so curious if it will be good. K-actress Song Hye Kyo posted a picture of the episode 1 script for her upcoming drama Now, We are Breaking Up, which feels like half of what was happening all the time in her last drama Boyfriend (Encounter) lol. It’s once again a noona-dongsaeng pairing for … Continue reading →
Man, the amount of craziness in K-drama land has compounded so much recently I don’t even have the energy to remark on casting or projects with less than ideal leads. Case in point the upcoming tvN drama My Roommate is a Gumiho starring Jang Ki Yong (got the whole package but picks crappy projects) and Hyeri (naturally can’t act but … Continue reading →
