Korean stars Lee Hye-ri and Jang Ki-yong in 'My Roommate is a Gumiho' (iQiyi)

The K-drama “My Roommate Is a Gumiho,” starring Lee Hye-ri and Jang Ki-yong, is set to air its final two episodes on July 14 and 15 on iQiyi and iQ.com.

In last week’ episodes 13 and 14, Lee Dam (Lee Hye-ri) and Shin Woo-yeo (Jang Ki-yong) broke up and reconciled trying to overcome the hurdles along their way.

Lee Dam tried to change her destiny and learned about the secret of how “gumiho” (nine-tailed fox) can transform into a human, finally securing a promise from Mountain Spirit for her personal safety.

As Lee Dam returned to cohabitation with great expectations, they spent the first night with her sleeping comfortably in Shin Woo-yeo’s arms but made him sleepless. The next day, he refused to sleep together again, creating a crisis to Lee Dam’s human transformation plan.

As their dating photos spread on campus and became a major gossip, Lee chose to confront everyone, admitted to the relationship, and broke away from unsolicited affections. She explained to Shin Woo-yeo how the red thread and destiny issue was resolved and was surprised to see how Shin got jealous, but found him as “the most adorable 999-year-old creature ever”.

As their relationship became clearer, Lee gave him two goodnight kisses and said implicitly that “there will be no dangers anymore”. Shin kissed her back passionately and flirted that “you are really now in danger”.

Directed by Nam Sung-Woo, iQiyi International’s first original K-series “My Roommate Is a Gumiho” is adapted from the namesake Korean webtoon by scriptwriters behind “What's Wrong With Secretary Kim.”

The series has been popular with many positive comments internationally. The production team first selected Jang Ki-yong to play Shin Woo-yeo, as he demonstrated fox qualities. The webtoon creator mentioned that the work was created with Lee Hye-ri in mind.

As the two actors fit well into main characters, the cast received overwhelmingly positive reviews. Before the series ends, director Nam Sung-Woo and the production team expressed gratitude and best wishes to viewers. He hopes the series can offer some happiness, and invites everyone to enjoy and support this heartwarming and relaxing story.

Ending next week, "My Roommate Is a Gumiho" is streaming on iQiyi, simulcast with South Korea on iQiyi International every Wednesday and Thursday at 9:40 p.m. Download the iQiyi app or log in to www.iQ.com for more Asian shows.
