My Girlfriend is a Gumiho
I really wasn't expecting much when I downloaded the first episode of My Girlfriend is a Gumiho. You're Beautiful had left a rather unpleasant taste in my mouth for the Hong Sisters, despite loving both Hong Gil Dong and Fantasy Couple. I just didn't find YB all that funny and Go Mi Nam was more than I could stand.
Besides, I'm through ep 14 of Gumiho: Tale of the Fox's Child and am enjoying it well enough. I figured that was going to be my gumiho drama of choice, despite the issues I'm having with it. The main issue is that while it has a wonderfully fresh concept and deals with relationships (mother/daughter in particular) that you don't often see spotlighted in dramas, and has a nice mythological base, it is just SO. SLOW. I could really do without having 1/2 of every episode dedicated to people running around and yelling. Just cut that out and you'd have a solid drama. As it is, it gets rather tiresome.
I have a few words I'd like to say about Lord Yoon, but I have screencaps to go with them, so I'll wait. Suffice it to say: I don't like him.
Anyway: HOW MUCH FUN IS MGiaG? I haven't had this positive of a reaction to a drama in quite some time. Not a once did I find my gaze wandering, and everything I've watched recently (Gumiho most of all, but even bits of Yankee-kun to Megane-chan and Hotaru no Hikari 2)has had some difficulties holding my attention. But the first three episodes of MGiaG just sailed by for me, which is almost unheard of with the lengthy kdrama running time.
It may be leftover warm fuzzies from the first two episodes of GOLD (WHICH HAPPENS TO BE AMAZING), but I think the major cause is right here:
I adore Gu Mi-Ho. She's cute without being cloying, curious without being stupid, and odd without being intolerable. She is such a doll! :D
Off-topic: Could anyone point me to some animated gif tutorials? I made the above one with screenshots I took frame by frame, but there has to be a better way, right? And how do I make it faster? It looked right in the Photoshop preview, but now it's all laggy. Enlighten me, flist.
