Synopsis of My Roommate Is a Gumiho

This drama started with the appearance of a 999 years old handsome gumiho, Shin Woo Yeo (Jang Ki Yong) who has been living her life mindlessly.

At the present moment, Woo Yeo transforms himself into a cool professor.

A gumiho just can live until it reaches the age of 999. After that, it has to turn into a human or it would be a truly evil spirit.

Woo Yeo always follows the rule to turn into a human by collecting a lot of energy of human he meets in a gumiho bead. If the time is right, he would turn into a human.

His story with Lee Dam (Hyeri) started when they first met each other in an accident. As a college student, she often spends her time having fun by getting drunk.

One day, she was forced to bring back her drunk friend, Do Jae Jin (Kim Do Wan) to come back home.

Unfortunately, Jae Jin made a mistake with Woo Yeo’s pricey car. After apologizing to Woo Yeo, she struggled to help Jae Jin stand well and eventually fell.

Before Dam fell to the road, Woo Yeo caught her and one of Woo Yeo’s beads entered Dam’s mouth. She unintentionally swallowed it and this was the biggest problem for both of them.

A human with a bead in her body could only survive one year before the bead will crush the person.

Not only that, Dam’s condition which had swallowed the bead can lead to Woo Yeo’s failure to be a human.

Because both of them have a similar condition, Woo Yeo suggested they to be cohabitation, at least until they find a solution.
