tvN Fantasy Rom-com My Roommate is a Gumiho with Chemistry Laden Leads Hyeri and Jang Ki Yong Wraps Up Warm and Fuzzy Run Averaging 3.916% Ratings

It ended averaging 3.9126% which is good for a rom-com and actually better than I expected in both ratings and quality of the series. I really enjoyed this drama from beginning to end, the earlier parts I loved more but the second half was equally endearing just with less meaty narrative to sink my teeth into. It felt like a tasty dessert rather than an entire meal, but nothing wrong with that if executed beautifully which this drama did.

I would recommend this drama in a heartbeat to anyone but would caution it’s not a drama to write tomes about or probably linger in the memory long after it’s done.
