Storyline

Cha Dae-woong (Lee Seung-gi) accidentally releases gumiho (Shin Min-a), a legendary nine-tailed fox who was sealed inside a painting. Fleeing the scene, Dae-woong suffers a life-threatening fall only to be saved by gumiho.

Dae-woong awakes to a mysteriously beautiful girl who he initially thought she is mentally ill. Once gumiho shows him her true form, Dae-woong is almost scared to death. According to myth, gumihos feed on men's livers. 

Gumiho sees this as an advantage and sticks by Dae-woong's side. Dae-woong names gumiho as "Mi-ho" and keeps her happy by buying her beef.

Dae-woong has a chance to become action stuntman. Mi-ho lends him her mystical fox bead that will increase his speed and strength. They strike a deal that Dae-woong must help Mi-ho to be a human.

When Park Dong-joo (No Min-woo), a half-human, half-supernatural being sees Mi-ho, he decides to capture her. However, he stops upon realising Mi-ho's resemblance with his loved one Gil-Dal. He lost Gil-Dal, a goblin, centuries ago when she was being betrayed by her human lover.

Dong-joo befriends Mi-ho and guides her how to turn into a real human. Firstly, by drinking Dong-joo's blood and then place her fox bead inside his body for 100 days. Her gumiho energy will start to fade away while her bead slowly absorbs human energy.

Once she gets back her fox bead, Mi-ho will become human. However, that would also mean Dong-joo will die.

My View

I have always like Seung-gi's dramatic reactions because he is just so hilarious.
