Grudge The Revolt Of Gumiho (2010)

[Trine Gritz]

Suchare the traits of a gumiho, about whom extensive literature has been penned in Korean lore and legends have been carried from generation to generation. Some of these legends are gathered in the Compendium of Korean Oral Literature and featured as characters in compelling Korean dramas. In this genre, the popular My Girlfriend is a Gumiho (2010) is a prime example. The drama follows Chae Dae-woong (Lee Seung-gi) who aspires to be an action hero. He visits a temple to fulfill his wish and sets free a gumiho (Shin Min-a as Gu Mi-ho), imprisoned in a painting for 500 years. Dae-woong flees in horror, suffering severe injuries, but Mi-ho saves his life and begs him to stay by his side after realizing that, with his help, she might actually become a human.
