It took him long enough to find out his feelings for Dam. For an 999 year old gumiho and supposed dating guru, he is really slow on the uptake. 🤦‍♀️
The best scenes for me were those of Hye Sun and her takedown of the Jaejin's annoying ex. Plus anything with her and Jaejin really. Love to see more of their buildup. ❤

I started watching this last week and I am really happy. Because He-Is-So-FLUFFY!!! (with tails, I mean) They even make up for the "oroshin" yuckinness to me. I can't help myself, I just love the gumiho lore.

Lee Dam is shaping up to be one of my favourite drama heroines ever. I love that she is so direct and readily tells Sun Woo that she likes someone else. I also love that she is so protective of her friend, Jae Jin, but stands ready to support him even if he doesn't take her advice. Fingers crossed that she continues to be a great character!

I have to say it is incredibly satisfying every time Dam makes clear she doesn't like Sun Woo. I mean every single time it is satisfying, lol. I'm not sure why, but I feel fulfilled. There is no vagueness at all with her. I also love that she eats. So often they will sure kdrama heroines eating a few grains of rice, but not her, she eats with relish and gusto. That makes me happy.

Thank you missvitrix for your weecap, hoping each week in turns into a weekly recap! Love reading your comments and summery. Waa, I need our sweet OTPs to be back together, like yesterday! I miss their sweet interactions and thoughtfulness. Please drama gods, have Woo-yeo and Dam living and loving under the same roof again soon. And Hye-sun is simply hilarious. Could she follow Dam any closer, or be anymore snarky to Seon Woo by telling him to quit pursuing Dam instead of smoking and the best is her take down of Jae-jin's ex, classic! I am starting to love her.

I was a little disappointed that this week went angst and separation, but the secondary and side characters kept it light, even amidst - horror or horrors - their midterms. Hye-sun act like Woo-yeo is a frenemy, but he is sort of family to her too. She cares about his well-being. Jaejin and Hyesun were extra cute and awesome this week. Dramas should always have 2 likable couples, so one gets a little frustrating, the other one can pinch-hit.

I was a little taken-aback that after 999 years, he never thought to ask what happens if he didn't turn human before his 1000th year. Maybe most gumihos are good at getting it all done well before the deadline. I'm glad the maegu was dispatched quickly and that Go kyung-pyo's character wasn't a bad guy. Jung So-min did a chilling job with her cameo as florist/maegu.

I feel protective of Dam and felt it was sort of unfair that he put himself in her path again as her professor. Like not only did you do an incomplete job erasing yourself from her memories, you come as a professor and throw a wrench into her emotions as she is trying to deal with this while having no one to talk to about it . She has to sit in class watching you dashingly lecture for an hour about her favorite subject and she has to hear all her female classmates think he's hot. If he wanted to watch over her, at least put on a disguise.

Missing the cohabitation already!

I miss the cohabitation already!
I'm quite sure of the fact that our gumiho is really being dense because Dam's eyes throughout episode 8 were screaming the words: 'I remember everything'. How could he not catch up on that at all?

The yeoja POX is my favourite character! Though according to Woo Yeo she is dumb, she's so sensitive. The best scene is when she stood up for Jae Jin in front of his ex: "On Saturday, he's mine!" LoL. Way to go Hye Sun ah... :)

I like Sun Woo. He did a bad thing but he apologized for it and he's honest with his feelings. When the Gumiho lied to Dam about the marble, even if this time he didn't watch her dying slowly, hidded from her that she was in danger, and tried to erase her memories. And now, he's stalking her. He's nice but for the important things, he just acts like she was kid to protect.

I wonder why the Gumihos must become human in 1000 years. Why after this period, they turn in demon. Their purpose is to steal human energy?

I found Gumiho-Dam's parts boring. Fortunately, there is Hye-Sun! I love her character and Kang Hana is doing a good job!

I was honestly so annoyed Woo Yeo for coming to the college as her professor. I get it that the best way for you to be around her without raising suspicion was to come in as her professor and you didn't realize your feelings for her then but seriously dude. I think one of the reasons he said "she is so young" when he realised his feelings for Dam is because he had assumed that what he was feeling for her, the affection and the protectiveness was in a family sort of way. That is why it was surprising for him. His first love had been centuries ago and in comparison to that, Dam would obviously feel young. I loved Hye Sun this week and I felt so bad for Jae Jin. Good people like him don't deserve bad people like his ex. Hye Sun saying she doesn't care if the ex is Jae Jin's ex or a utility pole had me laughing. I really want these two to be together. Also I felt the angst in this episode man. I know that Jang Ki Yong isn't the best actor but my god does he make me feel things. I really wished the writers had given his character more depth.

I remember last week, many were worried that the show would turn into a semi-horror-murder-mystery, and it was refreshing to see that not only did they solve the mystery within the very next episode, but its purpose was its aftermath rather than its existence, if that makes sense. Other shows might have dragget the mystery more episodes, which would make the comedy sink because there is a murder lose, but this was solved swiftly only for it to present a bigger problem regarding the gumiho's future.

I was so unsure about Hyeri due to "Miss Lee", but I absolutely LOVE Dam! Not only is she perfect for the actress, but Dam herself feels in some ways more real than many leads. I can't explain it, something about her whims, carefree student-live, and how she knows what she wants. She has never dated, not because she is innocent, shy or the like, but because she decided not to, and is able to view men as her friends as well. I know plenty of women who never dated or slept with people until their thirties, but somehow in many dramas, the reasons they make the girl so clueless feels like a vague and childlike excuse to infantilize her, rather than her actually being a mature woman who simply decided not to date.

The gumiho returning as a professor teacher was a bit of a meanmove, I hope they will adress it later.

I just wanna say that in these 8 episodes Kang Hanna got already double the screen time that she got in Start Up.

I love the drama! I like the pacing, how conflicts are resolved quickly. And I like how the characters are mature in their relationship dealing, esp Dam.

I finally realized after watching It 3 times one thing that is missing and made me confused about JKYs character. He’s a smart fox, he reads a lot, ge makes connections (Like figuring out the evil spirit or the mountain gods). But JKY isn’t acting like he’s smart. Or it’s not as apparent as some other actors who show you they’re thinking. So then what he does sometimes seem so….out of the blue.

That’s about my only complaint.

Ep 8 was so angsty. Hopefully it gets happier next episode.

I cried so hard when he confessed how he lied, the background song in ep 7 and she began crying as he removed the bead from her. I love love this drama.
Thanks for the recap

Though throughly enjoyable It seems to me this is a poor mans GOBLIN.

I'm just surprise that the killer is dead in this episode. So it's about the journey of Woo Young become a human after all with sprinkle of romantic comedy. Well, I'm gad it's not all about murderer.

Does anyone get My Love From The Stars vibes from this drama ?
Woo Yeo is so similar to Do Min Joon, a lonely ancient being, weary of the world, wary of making connections with people and hurting them. And this episode, he actually turns up as professor too !
And Hye Sun is like Cheon So Jin, with her ditzy, prickly, not-too-bright character trying to looks smart and cool, but she is actually a kind-hearted, loyal person.

It was so heartbreaking when he took out the bead ... I still can't get over it !
