My Girlfriend Is a Gumiho Storyline

College student Cha Dae-woong dreams of becoming an action star but accidentally releases Mi-ho, a legendary nine-tailed fox who was imprisoned in a painting for 500 years. After suffering a near-fatal accident while fleeing, Dae-woong’s life is saved when Mi-ho gives him her mystical fox bead. The naive gumiho, yearning to become human, discovers she must keep the bead inside Dae-woong’s body for 100 days to complete her transformation. As the immature aspiring actor and the wonderfully curious fox-turned-woman navigate their unusual cohabitation arrangement, they unexpectedly fall deeply in love, unaware that their growing romance comes with a devastating price neither initially understood.
