They are, in order of the photo below:

I freakin’ LOVE this show. I don’t even care if it breaks my heart or pistol-whips me later and leaves me for dead. Show, you complete me.

 
EPISODE 2 RECAP

After revealing herself in her gumiho form, Mi-ho takes back her healing fox bead and Dae-woong slumps to the ground. She floats above him, saying that she saved him, but he tossed her away, so she doesn’t know him anymore.

Annnnnd we have a winner! What a cute first episode to start off what looks to become an entertaining, zippy ride.

Both leads are adorable, but more than that, the story is fresh and innovative. It takes some familiar elements and mixes them with creations that are pure Hong Sisters Originals.

(If you’re coming to this series totally new to the whole gumiho concept, you might want to bone up on the lore with this Pop Culture post.)

My Girlfriend is a Gumiho has cast Park Su-jin, a member of the kpop group Sugar, as Lee Seung-gi’s first love in the upcoming SBS drama. You may recognize the 24-year old actress from smaller roles in Boys Before Flowers (as Kim Bum’s first love), Queen Seon-duk, and Loving You a Thousand Times.

Lee Seung-gi’s character falls in love with her at first sight and follows her around like a puppy his whole life, but she’s never thought of him as a man. That is, until she starts seeing him with his new girlfriend, the gumiho, which sparks new feelings for her.

It looks like this might be one of MANY love triangles in this drama, unless it’s going to be a quadrangle, with the other second female lead rounding out the group.

That’s a lot of love interests. But then maybe he’ll end up feeding their livers to his gumiho girlfriend. What? That’s what we call two birds, one stone.

I Love You Ten Million Times [천만번 사랑해] is a new SBS weekend drama whose main cast has already been filled by Lee Soo-kyung, Ryu Jin, and Jung Kyeo-woon. I’d noted the interesting-sounding plot when the drama was first announced; it deals with surrogacy and the complications that arise when the surrogate ends up marrying into the family of the infertile couple she is helping out.

Adding some color to the younger supporting cast are Super Junior’s resident oddball Kim Heechul and Boys Before Flowers‘ Lee Shi-young (both of whom are known for their rather offbeat “fourth-dimensional” personalities). Heechul plays a cheerful, saucy character who works a part-time job at a restaurant. He has a romantic storyline with Park Su-jin (mehhh), the singer-turned-actress who played Kim Bum’s ex-girlfriend in Boys Before Flowers.

Meanwhile, Lee Shi-young plays a woman who works at the information desk at the same office as Ryu Jin. She harbors a crush on him, while he is attempting to have a child with his wife (Go Eun-mi) via surrogate (Lee Soo-kyung); the story hints at a possible affair between him and Lee Shi-young.

I’m hesitant about the story (though I like that it’s different), but I like all the actors involved (minus Park Su-jin). Lee Shi-young was much better than expected in BBF, while Heechul has a fair amount of acting experience; his last drama was Golden Bride, and he was quite sweet in Bad Family.

The following article looks at pop singers who make the jump to acting and kind of falls into the “No duh” category with its statement of the obvious. But I think the topic is interesting, even if the article is overly simplistic. (It could have been a more persuasive piece if it had looked at more examples, for instance.) As a jumping-off point, it does the job, given how many idol stars are trying to make the leap into acting careers these days, some with more success than others.
