4.0

The God and the Gumiho is a fantasy romance based on Korean folklore. The story, fortunately for me, focused on the fantasy element, with many quirky details and fun moments, and an adventure that had many twists and turns. That is not to say that the romance was neglected. The love story was sweet, though more steamy moments felt awkward a bit. Still, the couple gave me 'The tale of the Nine-tailed' vibes, and a mix of many kdrama overall.
