The Story
A 999 year old gumiho has been collecting human energy in a bead so that he can become human himself. If the bead isn’t filled by his 1000th birthday, he will turn into an evil spirit. But one night a random collision with a young college student on the street causes her to swallow the bead. The gumiho gets her to sign an agreement that she will live with him until he can find a way to safely retreive the bead. Strangely, her presence seems to have a positive effect on the bead. Could she somehow to the key to him finally being able to become human?
Should I Watch
“My Roommate is a Gumiho” is a unique fantasy rom-com that adds some fun twists to common drama tropes. If you enjoy webtoon style dramas, this one is well-done and interesting. But if fantasy drama and mythology aren’t your thing, you probably won’t enjoy this series. “My Roommate is a Gumiho” does a nice job of staying true to the fantasy element of the story, rather than shifting into a rom-com with vague hints of the supernatural on the side. It is a light, fun drama that never goes too deep but has plenty of cheesy comedy and cuteness overload. I give “My Roommate is a Gumiho” a 8 out of 10 ramen.
