Waffley bit...
I really enjoyed this one, telling the story of a mythical 9-tailed fox who is set free from a drawing and enters the real world where she ultimately falls in love with the male lead in the story and so begins the crux of the troubles.
Shin Min-Ah is just fantastic in this, she plays the doe eyed, innocent and inexperienced "fox" superbly as she tries to navigate this new world. A scene where Dae-Wung spots something in a store that he really likes and she later goes back to buy it for him is just a classic example of this. Scenes where she's eating meat and just over the moon enjoying herself like it's the greatest experience she's ever had are fun to watch too.
Lee Seung-Gi, whom I first saw MUCH older in the more recent Vagabond looks practically like barely a teenager in this but performs well and provides a great counterpoint to the innocence of Shin Min-Ah's character.
Noh Min-Woo's character, Park Dong-Joo, I just found to be really flat. That may be the writing / production but I just didn't gel with this character at all.
There's also a momentary cameo from another actress who is much more well known now, Park Shin Hye - but she's barely recognisable as a school-age girl on the bus.
There are some real cheeseball moments, pretty much the entire character of Ban Doo Hong (the action film director in the story) is a hyper-real character who's quite fun. The most amusing scene in the entire story involves him taking a pee against a wall, i'll just leave it there, it's absolutely hilarious.
The story references Little Mermaid when Mi-Ho is given the book to read to hint at her possible future, and there are certainly some strong links between the two stories - though I will say this isn't just a remake of Little Mermaid with a different skin, it does follow a different path.
If you're paying a reasonable amount of attention, the ending and how it's arrived upon is fairly predictable, it's not a complex story, but I didn't find this made it any less enjoyable at all.
The chemistry between the two leads is superb, I could sense some real affection when they were both on the screen together with her throwing her heart at him utterly unconditionally.
Nothing in the OST really stood out to me, but I'll go listen to it separately later. They tended to go for musical backing per-character, i.e. when a particular character is the focus of a scene you'll hear the same music being played to match it.
Another great drama and definitely worth a watch.

Sorry, it wasnt mine
I know, some love this Drama.Sorry, it wasn't mine. The Story is good. Even taking into account that this is an old drama, the whole production fails to convince me. The only bright spot was the acting of the grandfather, Byun Hee Bong.
After the 5th episode I skipped a few sequences and watched the end. Actually, I should have stopped after the 2nd episode.
No hard feelings. My taste was not satisfied. Watch a few minutes and if you like it, great. If not, watch something else. Whatever you do, I hope you enjoy it!

You will become as addicted as me when you finally watched all of the episodes. It was really really really greaaaaat.
Shin Min-ah and Lee Seung Gi had this really perfect and appealing chemistry. I didn't even notice that Shin Min-ah is older than him because their chemistry was THAT great.
At first, the story was all funny and hilarious until they actually fell in love and BAMMM! it became all touchy and sad. I have no idea how many tissues I had when I was watching this.
This drama brought laughter, smile, and a lot of tears. And I probably have re-watched it for 5 times and I always cried and laughed although I've known the story.
WATCH IT!!!!

Casting would've been better if the leading man was a lot more capable. That guy doesn't even know how to be sweet to a really sweet girl. If only Lee Min Ho was the leading man and the ending was better, this could've been the biggest hit.
I REALLY HATE IT WHEN I SEE HER CRY.
Honestly, the only actors that really stand out was Byun Hee Bong (grandpa) and Shin Min-a(Mi ho)..gave all 9.0/10 because of her and only her. Scene from 14-16 wasn't that fun for me and could've been composed to one episode to give way to a more interesting ending. Nonetheless I really had fun watching it from the beginning but ended up disappointed with the ending.

Divertissant
Après les 2 premiers épisodes, je me demandais franchement si j’allais continuer cette série. En effet, le point de départ était certes intéressant mais l’histoire d’amour loufoque (et très surjouée) entre la tante et le directeur Ban m’avait refroidi.Je me suis accroché et, au final, hormis cette horripilante histoire d’amour annexe, censée amener un côté drôle mais qui m’a surtout agacé, j’ai passé un bon moment.
L’histoire était un peu prévisible et certains passages sont un peu gros pour être convaincants mais l’alchimie entre les deux acteurs principaux a sauvé cette série.
Un bon moment mais pas inoubliable.

История интересная, с долей мистики, нет, даже не мистики а сказки. И конечно про любовь, большую, жертвенную, с налетом легкой грусти. Не волнуйтесь - будет и хеппиэнд.
Хорошо играет пара главных героев. Мальчик по моему из поп-идолов.
Девочка очаровательна, я ее заприметила еще в "Кухне" и стараюсь посмотреть все где она снималась. У нее получился образ лисички, которая хочет стать человеком и постепенно лисичья сущность уходит на второй план, а человеческая на первый. Одна ее "любовь" к мясу :-D чего стоит. А потом героическое привыкание есть овощи и рис
Хорош также Охотник. Двоякая такая фигура. Он вроде бы должен убивать кумихо, но вспоминая трагическую старую любовь помогает, хотя и не без задней мысли.
Второстепенные персонажи тоже на высоте. Особенно, тетя Гг и режиссер - ооо, это фонтан юморных ситуаций. Дедуля тоже зажигает. Вредная бывшая Гг тоже на месте.
В общем и целом, очень приятное зрелище.
