I know that I just posted on this drama, but My Girlfriend Is a Gumiho has just released its first poster images and here they are. As you know, the fantasy series just began shooting on Monday, June 21, and now we get our first look at the characters played by Lee Seung-gi and Shin Mina. Although there’s a limit to how much you can get out of a photo (be it a thousand words or not), I think the photos are really cute, particularly the second one below.
These poster shots were taken on June 20 at SBS’s Ilsan production center and capture the couple’s relationship dynamic. (I’m going to guess that the one below is more indicative of the storyline and the one above is just a fun excuse to show the stars looking beautiful together.)
I dig that Lee Seung-gi’s kind of a shlub; so many trendy dramas (or any dramas, really) feature men who are either super-cool (e.g., your Darcys and professional types) or super-warm (e.g., your Ji-hoo sunbaes and Shin-woo hyungs). There’s not much room for your bumblers or beta-males. (A few exist, such as Jung Kyung-ho in Smile, and I always enjoy those exceptions.) Say what you will about the Hong sisters, they have a knack for teasing out unusual character traits and creating some fun relationship dynamics with them.

RECENTLY RECAPPED
Darling! I’m looking forward to this fox story. I love Shin Min-a!
dang seung gi is one lucky guy >.<
so young, yet he already traveled to many places in korea
he's a successful singer, an all rounder entertainer, worked with skating princess kim yuna and now the beautiful shin mina. plus he has no bad bones in his body!
if i was a guy, i would be totally jealous XD
Noo.
LSG so cute.
And OH MY! Min-ah is aging.
I hope she look a bit more fierce or prettier than these photos.:)
he’s not good-looking per say (to me) but ohhh i love him, he’s so cute in that sweet way. i can totally see him pulling off that beta-male-like role in this one. can’t waittttt for this one to air, i’ll be watching, definitely!
The shoes!!!the silver one. I’d like to have one of those
Her shoes are AWESOME!
Oh man they are SO ADORABLE!
…and on a side note, HER SHOES. the second picture. i dig, totally.
I feel really shallow for saying this, but I LOVE her shoes in the second pic, and LSG is sooooo adorable!! ><
Aww sooo cute!!! I’m looking forward to this drama. I love bumbling hero’s too!!!
i think this whole lsg+shin mina+hong sisters thing is finally sinking in and now i’m actually excited. AND LEE SEUNGKI’S TWEETS ARE SO CUTE /crying
AH! I am so excited for this drama. So much so that I’m probably going to vlog about it. Haha~
The thought of beta male appeals to me because it’s an unusual role that is not commonly seen in k-dramas. I bet LSG won’t have the nerve to grab his gumiho lady by the wrist when upset. =P
Um, Batman t-shirt FTW! XDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
The posters are really cute, he seems to be setup as the geeky type in the second one, lol loves it =)
@ 8 Jandoe: I’m having shoe-envy too
HAHA LSG is so adorkable. He’s at his charming best in variety shows like 2D1N, or Strong Heart, but I’m not overly enamoured with his acting. The boy’s cute, but Shining Inheritance was a bit of a let down for me – although it was more because I couldn’t connect with the lead actress than anything else.
Still, the posters for this one look tempting! May try the first episode to see how it works out when it comes out. Kinda hope his character’s really the bumbling kind – it would be soooo refreshing! One of the biggest reasons, as you say, why I loved JKH in Smile You.
OH MY! =) LOLZ, Look at this picture of Lee Seung Ki and Shin Mina! O_____O
HOW ADORABLE! I really looooovveee seeing them so cute and awesome, heh!
*FIGHTING!! * (winks & grins)
I’m looking forward to a dorky Lee Seung Gi. He’s like that on 1N2D:)
the first pic is super cool and the second is uber cute!!….they look really good together…..and im really digging those heels in the second one
hahaha! omg LOVEEEEE! this is the best ever – i love the second pic, because though LSG looks completely shocked by her (and has reason to), SMA looks like she’s shocked about herself too!!! hahahaha!
and they are so much better matched than any other contender for the role of the gumiho!
I’m really diggin it. I iwas excited when i first heard the hong sisters were at it again.
This will definately be on my list to watch….
Omg Dorky Seung-gi! he would be right in his element.. lol and like many of you here, besides the awesome-ness of Seungi-gi’s Batman tee, I too lust for The silver heels! argh can’t wait ..
Oooh, I hope this drama will be good! I am getting excited about it..
Perhaps she gives him a makeover at some point, and that explains the first picture?
i love it– i totally agree about lee seung gi– i remember you saying the same about lee min ho… if he wasn’t so good looking, he would never be cool (LOL *hig five*) but that that is precisely what’s endearing about him.
i also remember when you were starting Return of illjimae recaps, you said that lee seung gi was also considered for the role, and you could see why, because the portrayal of illjimae in that particular version was more gentle and graceful and quiet and solid than the usual kdrama swaggery hero 1st lead. i completely agree. i’m glad jun il woo got his turn at something like that (he was fantastic!) now, i can’t wait to see lee seung gi blunder his way into our hearts!
ADORKABLE BETA MALES, FOR THE WIN!!
I’m looking forward to seeing Shin Mina!
GOSH i’m so excited! 0_o
I remember I stopped watching MBL because I didn’t like the glum faced leading man and then one day I started watching it again and completely fell in love with the glum faced one and started googling him and found out he also sings well. I love his voice tho’ not his songs. Shin Mina is not my type but she looks beautiful in these pictures. By why the hat in the first picture? t’s so silly. Love his suit and love the cool shoes. Funky!
why is it that LSG’s shoes are always so long; are long shoes a fashion trend for men?
these looks cute!!!! I am so going to watch it
All I can see of this drama is LSG. How I love that boy. I discovered him in Shining Inheritance and his character transformation totally won me over. Plus he’s soooo adorable
First picture = om nom nom
As for his long shoes, his feet may just be big xD
OMO!!!! excited mode: on
they are really adorable!
can’t wait any longer!!!
love LOVE how he is wearing a batman shirt under plaid XD looks like a nice quirky drama…and of course i have also been bitten by shoe-envy!
The closer we are to the date, the more excited I become! I’m so gearing up to this drama! Totally adore the adorkable Seung Gi!
The show is yet to start, but here we are, already going giddy about some twits and few pictures LOL! And we haven’t even seen the teasers yet! It has been a while since I last feel this excited, and I’m totally anticipating this YAB-kinda fever (maybe more!).. August, please come faster. JB, be prepared for more site crashes. LOL.
Oh and I’m so drooling over the shoes too!!
i hope this drama turn out well cuz i really enjoyed lee seung gi’s last one shining inheritance.
Thanks for the news javabeans!
I can’t wait to see LSG act in a romantic comedy and Mina seems to have the look down as a Gumiho…like Kim TaeHee who was in the original Gumiho.
It’s gonna be a long, hot summer…..
oooooh i love dorkey guys so i know i will fall head over heels for LSG in this drama!
My Girlfriend is a Gumiho FTW!! <3

It’s a refreshing take after a depressing yet awesome time with Eun-jo and Ki-hoon Oppa in Cinderella’s Sister
