My Girlfriend is a Gumiho & Come Back, Mister

My Girlfriend is a Gumiho also known as My Girlfriend is a Nine-Tailed Fox
The main actor is Lee Seunggi who plays Cha Daewoong and the main actress is Shin Mina (dating Kim Woo bin) who plays as the nine-tailed fox named Miho.

According to Wikipedia, gumiho is a creature that appears in the tales and legends of Korea. Deriving from ancient Chinese myths and folklore, a fox that lives a thousand years turns into a gumiho, like its Japanese and Chinese counterparts. These foxes are depicted as mischievous, usually tricking other people, with the ability to disguise as a beautiful woman. (Wikipedia)

Summary:
Cha Daewoong is a college student who has ambitious dreams of being an action actor. However, his grandfather is not supportive of his major and when he confronts Daewoong, Daewoong runs away on his motorcycle but gets pulled over by the police for a stolen motorcycle claim. He ends up getting bailed out with the help of his grandfather. Yet again, he escapes from his grandfather but pretending to use the restroom at a rest stop and hides in a black truck that abruptly rides away. When the truck stops at a gas station, he gets out and hitchhikes with a monk to a Buddhist temple. While staying there temporarily, he tries to find signal on his phone and ends up going to a little house near the river where the gumiho stays. He tries calling again but his phone dies but the gumiho talks to him anyway, making Daewoong even more scared of being there. He ends up following the gumiho's orders of drawing nine-tails on the painting hanged inside the house where the gumiho is locked under a spell.
This is almost everything of episode one, so I won't give anymore details. Eventually, Daewoong tries to get rid of the Miho throughout the story but they end up falling in love and ending in a tragic way.

Its really a comedy type of drama, with a tinge of cute romance.

Come Back, Mister
This drama has many actors and actresses that play an important role so I will just briefly discuss the main and the second mains because everyone is highly connected to each other.

Main Actors and Actresses:
Rain (recently married Kim Tae Hee) play as Lee Haejoon
Lee Minjung plays as Shin Dahye
Oh Yeonseo plays as Han Hongnan


Second role actresses:
Kim Inkwon plays as Kim Youngsoo
Lee Honey plays as Song Yiyeon
Kim Suro plays as Han Gitak

Summary:
Inkwon works at Lotte Mall as a manager of a department team and his wife, Dahye is a Sales Associate on one of the floors. One day, when everyone got off work, Dahye went home and Inkwon was walking around the city when he saw the Lotte advertisement banner was flapping to its side, as on of the corners came loose from the attachment rope. Inkwon went back inside the mall to fix the banner through a window but accidentally slipped and fell to his death.
Gi-tak works as a chef at a restaurant with his fellow juniors. Originally, he was a former gangster but he has sort of left that field. Gi-tak gets into a car accident which at first seems accidental but later turns out to be a planned accident by someone who doesn't like Gi-tak.
Apparently, these two characters meet in heaven but they escape heaven because they think it is too early for their death. The assistant in heaven creates human bodies that don't exist. Inkwon takes the form as Haejoon (Rain) with a muscular and attractive body and handsome face. While, Gi-tak takes the form as a woman known as Hongnan. Haejoon is unexpectedly the CEO of Lotte Mall but the original CEO becomes stranded on an island with the help of the heaven assistant because apparently, when she created a human for Inkwon, similar featured human was already existing. Haejoon wants to help his wife know that he loved her and his child, and that he had not died in vain. On the other hand, Gi-tak protects his first love, Yiyeon from danger and the one who killed him.

This drama is also a comedy but is a sweet romantic drama.

Have you watched these dramas before? If so, which character did you like best? And do you think there should be a season 2 for My girlfriend is a gumiho?
