My Roommate Is a Gumiho turns a swallowed magical bead into the reason a college student and a centuries-old fox spirit end up sharing a roof, and a problem, neither of them wanted.

What is My Roommate Is a Gumiho about?

Directed by Nam Sung-woo, the fantasy-romance series follows Shin Woo-yeo, a nine-tailed fox spirit close to completing the nine hundred and ninety-nine years he needs to become fully human, and Lee Dam, a college student who accidentally swallows the fox bead that holds his collected energy. With his transformation now at risk, Woo-yeo has to stay close to Dam to get the bead back, and the two end up living under the same roof while working out how to fix what happened without giving away what he actually is. The series builds its romance and its comedy around that forced proximity and the mismatch between a being who has watched centuries pass and a student navigating ordinary campus life.

About the cast

Jang Ki-yong leads as Woo-yeo opposite Lee Hye-ri as Dam, with Bae In-hyuk, Kang Han-na, Kim Do-wan, Park Kyung-hye, Choi Woo-sung and Kim Do-yeon rounding out the cast across the wider circle of friends, classmates and rivals drawn into their situation.

Context & significance

A China-South Korea co-production from 2021, the series sits within a long tradition of Korean fantasy-romance built around a nonhuman lead concealing their nature from an ordinary human lead, here filtered through gumiho folklore rather than the more common ghost or immortal-being premise. Episodes run at a length closer to an hour, giving the central pair's growing closeness room to develop alongside the supporting cast's own storylines.
