I have to 100% agree with you about that last scene. Also I now need to read Love in the Time of Cholera because that was stunning piece of wordplay. They way he recites it so softly and beautifully.

Thank you, thank you missvictrix for doing this weecap. I love this drama! I never before thought Jang Ki-yong was that good looking but man...now I think he is the sexist man around. Who thought watching someone shoot arrows would be so HOT! And when Woo-yeo spoke about love and madness in his deep lovely voice..SWOON! Dam is one lucky young woman.

The drama is drawing me in with its relatable lines, situations, and scenes even though the whole premise is that a 999 year old gumiho's marble got swallowed up by a human girl. I love how the heroine actually feels like a college student. I like how she is socially aware and she knows when to stick up for herself. Her reason for staying single resonates with me a lot. She can be messy and too casual, but she also knows how to dress up.

I love the little cartoon gags too - I'm not sure what to call them. Like the period - a yellow round thing- that cheerfully popped up and "Hi! I came back this month to destroy your happiness!" And the one of her funeral when she imagined what would happen if Sun-woo touched her while she was suffering her period.

Mr.Gumiho is the perfect person to have around while you're on your period - knows to get you greasy food, a hot water bottle, snacks, painkillers, AND he volunteers to shapeshift as you to get your assignment done so you can stay home and rest in bed!

Hye-sun is adorable. I love how she has decided to take Mr.Gumiho's advice and go to college. She is really embracing the human life.

If only Lee Dam had continued to call Woo-yeo "Gumiho-nim". I rather prefer this title over "elder".
But besides that, how cuuuuute is this show! Both characters being open and honest to each other is always welcome in my book!
I'm grateful for all the comedic scenes we're getting! I usually feel disappointed when a rom-com tends to focus less on the "com" aspect of it's genre but does the "rom" part really well. In this show we're getting to see a healthy balance of both comedy and romance, the latter being slowly introduced based on the characters feelings and not being forced down our throat. The leads are both doing so well with their characters and can't wait to see more!

Lee Hye-ri acting as Woo-yeo acting as Dam was brilliant. Her stone face and old man mannerisms were spot-on. On their stimulation date, I lmaoed at Dam's belated realization that Woo-yeo was indirectly insulting her. Three words: "This is mild."

Dam's straightforwardness is so refreshing. She ended our noble idiocy in less than ten minutes. I adored her "I'll come back and sit down" so they could start over. Now she just needs to take back her "You're not my type" comment. I love how respectful Woo-yeo is of Dam when he told Hye-sun he sent her to keep Dam safe, not to pry on her private life. On his date with her sunbae, he never sabotaged her (more than she did herself) to get Seon-woo to stop liking her.

I wondered if Seon-woo was not a tiger when even Woo-yeo's touch wouldn't heal Dam's stomachache, so maybe it was just indigestion, but both gumihos called him a tiger, so he must be born in 1998. Of course Jae-jin's tip to act clingy backfired and only made Seon-woo like Dam for real. Anyone's heart would've fluttered at her cutely miming, "When you get home, please call me." But Seon-woo's liked her ever since the clogged toilet incident because Dam's herself around him and doesn't try to impress him like all the other girls, and now she teaches him commoner things like how to ride a bus. It was sweet when he ordered every dessert because he didn't know what she liked, then sadface when she pushed them all back.

Thanks a ton for the weecap, @missvictrix!

This show is everything right now! Every scene is screen-shot-able, every face of Hyeri is gif-able. Every line is memorable. I think this will be the comedy to measure all future comedies. I loved every scene, but my favorites were the pregnancy misunderstandings, the fake date, the real date with the fake Dam (😂), the friend giving good advice, the brother having all his friends over, the apologies, and the communication. Just ALL OF IT.

Gotta say, Hyeri has very good comedic timing, and the editing of the show is very good too. I find myself bursting out laughing in so many scenes.

I love the character of Lee Dam. She is so spunky!

I like the writing. The characters are not cliché, they adressed some interesting themes (like period, it already sucks without a marble stealig your energy). I'm curious why he wants to be human since always (We didn't see him as a gumiho)? He doesn't seem interested by the human life more than that...

For me, the issue is the acting. I don't like Hyeri's voice, she sounds childish or loud. She lacks finesse in her acting. For now, it still works but I guess the story will become more serious.

@missvictrix I share your concerns about a romance between an older mature guy and a young bubble girl but so.ehow I don't feel those concerns in this drama. I guess it's because of the way these two communicate and the fact that Dam seems cheerful but she isn't stupid or naive. I loved these two episodes and I've honestly fallen in love with Jang Ki Yong now. I was simply swooning at the way these two communicate. Also Woo Yeo being teased about having a grandpa's taste was honestly hilarious. I like that we are able to see that even though Hye Sun may not be book smart, she is pretty clever. I have no idea how a romance between her and Jae Jin will develop but I'm here for it. Also the movie date had me in splits. I want to know what all these two gumihos have done to consider that movie mild.

What I love about this drama is that our leads actually communicate. When Woo Yeo started to give Dam the cold shoulder i thought "here we go again with the noble idiocy" but then by the end of the episode they shared how they feel about the situation and on top of that we got a beautiful scene too. I really hope it stays this way as much as a Kdrama can.

The drama perfectly balances the serious, comedic and romantic moments. The writers are so talented. Last week I mentioned the cinematography but I have to again. It's chef's kiss. The director is so talented too.

I think I stopped breathing in that last scene, my eyes were transfixed to the screen (his face) damn it! That passage was just *chefs kiss* the way he was looking at her, I can't process

I could never finish 100yrs of Solitude, that story just didn't work for me... but I loved Love in the Time of Cholera, a lot. And Chronicle of a Death Foretold was brilliantly chilling...

This show is dumb and silly but that's why I'm loving it. Everything is so funny, the characters are really nice. Especially Lee Dam, Hyeri's face expressions are everything!

I started with zero expectations but pleasantly surprised with the drama. I'm not a big fan of fantasy romance so, mostly I rely on how the tell the stories and/or how the actors portray the characters.
I know JKY is handsome, but even more so when he smiles. And he smiles A LOT in this drama. I like how Woo Yeo is far from perfect character, a bad cook and a smoke addict.
And I didn't know that a man could look so sexy when pruning his tree.
I kinda like Hyeri. She never tries to protect her image as an (ex?) Idol, she's not afraid to look 'ugly' in front of camera. She may not be an excellent actress but always totally immersed in each character she plays, even though the result sometimes come out feels like overacting.
I also love it a lot when Woo Yeo cited lines from Love When The Time of Cholera.
You just can't choose love. It chooses you instead.

I have to say, I am kind of disappointed I like this show way more than liking "doom" (by the way, I think I wrote the same comment last week😒😒😒), since I love so much SIG and PBY, but let the truth be said.
The writing here is really greater than the writing in Doom, and since I am a little bit of a writer myself, well... there you go.

I have tons of comments about this two episodes, but I am also about to sleep and totally tired, so... tomorrow....

I am starting to enjoy this drama more and more. I am so happy that Dam isn't afraid to stand up for herself and call people out on their poor behavior. Also, I love that she decided to tell Woo-yeo that his coldness towards her was making her feel hurt and uncomfortable, and that Woo-yeo admits his wrong doing. I appreciate couples who know how to communicate their feelings.
