This series is the reverse of My Girlfriend is a Gumiho but instead of a nine tailed female fox you have a cute 1000 y.o. fox demon with a spunky, poor, college student.

PLOT:
The chemistry and lines in the first 4 or 6 episodes where ok and you could feel the typical push pull romance between the leads. But by the middle episodes (9-16) the story got too carried away with the demon lore, time traveling, possessions, etc that it failed to further establish the love story of Bai Xiao and Xie Kuai.

What also left a bad taste in my mouth was that most of the romantic scenes that could have allowed the viewers to feel the growing relationship between the leads was delivered through flashbacks AFTER their “accidental” kiss which happens in ep 18+ in a 24 episode series. Because of this you can’t really feel the genuine happiness you get when the leads finally get together in the end because the sweetness just came too late.

I probably might be biased after seeing The Eternal Love and Love Better than Immortality, but the romance here is clearly your teen high school bopper romance type. You would’ve thought it would have been slight more mature since you have a 1000 year old fox demon. At the most I was expecting the same intensity as in Novoland 2 (18 y.o. empress and 1000 y.o. magician), but we only got 1 kiss and barely a hug and no direct confession.

ACTING:
I like the Lu Zhao Hua (Xia Kui) here better than her other drama (All I want for love is you) because her character here is more proactive and have more use other than being in love with the main lead. Fiction Guo (Bai Xiao) is also better here than in his other drama (Accidentally in Love) because he was able to show the complexity of the fox demon’s character (cold one minute, mischievous imp in another, jealous beast on the next).
