iQiyi’s first-ever original Korean drama series sealed its premiere date on May 26.
Along with that, international on-demand streaming service iQiyi released a new trailer featuring Jang Ki Yong and Hyeri in My Roommate is a Gumiho.
In the trailer, the 999-year-old Gumiho (nine-tailed fox), played by Jang Ki Yong, sat across from a 22-year-old college student portrayed by Lee Hyeri and discussed how she should call him. She discovered Jang’s gumiho character is 977 years older than her, so she called him “Grand-miho” in a flash, but he did not like it.
The witty character of Hye-ri then called him “Elder.” From his expression in the trailer, the handsome and old gumiho was quite satisfied with the name “Elder.” He also looked into her eyes and showed his affection and kindness for her just like treating a child.
Previously, trailers and behind-the-scenes show Jang Ki Yong was quite nagging to Lee Hyeri, not only urging her to go home on time, but also knocking on her room door for a response, and even murmured if she didn’t turn off the TV or wash her socks.
Many fans are waiting to see how the romance story of two with such a big age gap would unfold.
A Quirky Fantasy-Rom-Com Cohabitation Story
My Roommate is a Gumiho tells the story of gumiho Shin Woo-yeo (Jang Ki Yong) who has lived quietly in the world for hundreds of years to become a human. He was only one step away from success, but his fox bead, which was to make him human, was swallowed by Hyeri by mistake. From there, they had to start living in a house together to solve this problem.
They had quarrels at first and later began to understand and get along well with each other. Interestingly, it is the first time for Jang Ki Yong to perform a supernatural role. Famed for his emotional portrayals, expectations are high for his new character in light-hearted rom-com.
My Roommate is a Gumiho premieres exclusively on iQiyi Philippines starting May 26.
