After all the rumors that came out guessing who will be Lee Seung Gi's leading lady in "My Girlfriend is a Gumiho", the final lady is announced! It's actress Shin Min Ah! I'm happy with the choice because Shin Min Ah is a beautiful actress with a mysterious aura. I'm sure she'll play the role well. =) 2NE1's Sandara Park and Shin Se Kyung were some of the girls that were previously rumored to take on the role.
Shin Se-kyung is out and Shin Mina is in for the upcoming drama My Girlfriend Is A Gumiho. Phew, this drama has undergone a ridiculous amount of casting speculation, rumors, and changes, hasn’t it? Seriously, I’m almost tired about the news and it has barely even begun. (Shin Se-kyung had been reported with the most finality, but that was preceded by a lot of rumors about Sandara Park and Jeon Ji-hyun as well.)
In My Girlfriend Is A Gumiho, Shin Mina plays a gumiho who has been asleep for the past 500 years, who is released when a seal is broken, and a romance ensues with a human played by Lee Seung-ki. The drama may have some competition with Gumiho’s Revenge, which is another gumiho-centered show starring Han Eun-jung that is planning for a broadcast later this summer. However, as the always-hilarious Hong sisters writing pair are behind this drama, I’d expect this one to deliver lots more wacky hijinks (and pop-culture parodies and catchphrases, to boot).
This is Shin Mina’s first drama in three years, since 2007’s thriller series Devil with Uhm Tae-woong and Joo Ji-hoon. Prior to that, she starred with Rain in A Love To Kill in 2005. Although I was perfectly fine with Shin Se-kyung, Shin Mina also fits the part well — though I can’t help but wonder if the pairing will seem too much like a noona with her kid brother. Well, I’ll stay optimistic.
