My Roommate is a Gumiho: Final Exams

Open notes. No deadline.

1. Mr. Fox was going to namedrop one philosopher and one character from a book in this scene. Give one of the two names.

2. What’s the significance of this dish?

3. I think this was the first time he removed his jacket for her. He couldn’t identify his feelings for her but he avowed that she felt “special” to him. By that, he meant she was like a:

a. family
b. daughter (but that would be weird)
c. niece
d. all of the above.

4. What was so special about the sunset?

5. Dam’s funny faces. Explain what she was doing when she made these funny faces.

a.

b.

c.

d.

6. How many umbrella scenes did we have in this kdrama? What’s the significance of the rain?

7. Is this Dam’s first date or second date with Tiger Sunbae Sunwoo? He told her that the restaurant was famous for their salmon steak, avocado salad and Cobb salad, and ceviche for the amuse-bouche. And the restaurant had a choice of whole grain or tofu noodle.

8. At first, Dam had a hard time figuring him out. She thought he was an angel, then a nice fox, Orishein, and an uncle. We were right, though. We knew she was going to call him “oppa” in the end.) Can you name the episodes in which these events took place?

a. An angel

b. A nice fox.

c. “Orishein”

d. “Samcheon”

e. “Oppa”

9. What’s your favorite Hyesun and JJ moment? (no word limit)

This is one of mine. I like how Hyesun took the lead.

  2. @Janey,

    I figured we’d be missing our weekly MRIAG, so I reserved this.

    I’m waiting for @agdr03 to come up with the answers for Poxy’s smiles. I shouldn’t have deleted those screenshots. Rats.

    I hope others will post their answers, too.

  3. Howdy!

    I’m here 🙂 Let me get my brains working, it’s frozen. LOL!

    But @Janey is tops! 🙂

    I have no kdrama after MRIAG. I have no idea what to pick next. Thinking, thinking, thinking……

  4. Your brains better not frozen, @agdr03!

    I thought you were watching the Cdrama with that handsome actor (I forgot his name).

    I’m skimming through Mr Gu — another Cdrama. I can’t find the appeal of the lead actor, though. The actors in MRIAG spoiled me.

  5. Oooh ooh pick me pick me! Fox smiled because he’s hot! What a fun quiz! I don’t know the answers so I pick C. Loved this lighthearted clever gem of a show.

  6. @agdr03 have you watched You Are My Hero? C-drama with engaging story and charming leads.

  7. 1 – Fermina Daza.

    2 – Fox thought that the steamed egg is the one that Dam loves.

    3 – C. Niece. Yes, that was the first time Fox took off his jacket. 😊

    4 – Fox took a picture for the first time. He was thinking too that after a looooong time, someone’s made his life fun and interesting.

    5 – A. I can’t remember. Hahaha B. Fox said to Dam that she doesn’t need to do silly things because she’s silly already, hence the long face of Dam. C. Dam was trying to sneak out of the house. D. Frozen.

    6 – 2 Umbrella scene.

    7 – It’s the second date and Sunbae told Dam that he really likes her.

    8 – A. 1 B. 3? C. 5 D. 11? E. 15.

    9 – It’s the kiss scene too. I just love how after all the misunderstandings, they come together, together. 😊

    10 – Well he was smiling so my brains didn’t work LOL. What photographic memory? Heheheh These are just guesses. 😁

    B. Fox was showing Dam his basement of goodies from centuries of living.
    D. Fox showed his bow and arrow skills.
    G. First pic on his phone.

  8. Yes, I’m watching Truth or Dare with Huang Jun Jie. I’m up to episode 23. ☺️ Also the Unforgettable Love and The Rational Life.

    Try Truth or Dare if you have time. ☺️

    Maybe I’ll have a break from kdramas.

  9. You’re awesome, @agdr03! Let me look at the screenshots again.

  10. @Good Twin, yes, I’ve heard of You Are My Hero. Queen actually has a post on it but she still hasn’t finished it yet. But a few people said it has a good story and definitely charming leads. I’ll see how I go because it has 40 episodes. I’m waiting for You Are My Glory so I might not be able to have a look at it soon. Thanks for the recommendation though. 🙂

  11. Why are you still awake? 🙂

    I’m not awesome because my answer is not complete. It’s an exam! LOL!

  12. I second that.
    You Are My Hero’s male lead is a sweetheart. I wish they shortened it though.

  13. READ ONLY AFTER ANSWERING THE QUESTIONS.

    Of the smileys —

    A. He smiled when Dam woke up and tried to get away from him because he told her that she had his marble.
    B. ✅ The basement. She asked for the wind chime and he joked that he got it from Insadong.
    C. This was after he brought home pizza and that Thai food. After the toilet incident. She said she like greasy stuff after all so she could eat pizza.
    D. ✅
    E. After the Tiger Sunbae accidental meeting she had a tummy ache. He cured it and she teased him. Would he run over right away, if she called? He said he has to protect her and smiled.
    F. The messy ice cream. He wiped her mouth with his thumb.
    G. ✅ His first pic
    H. Wasn’t this breakfast with the steamed egg?
    I. ✅ The niece confession
    J. Museum visit. He told her that the first time HE saw HER smile was in the basement when she was excited about his artifacts. This reminded me of Beauty and the Beast. Instead of Beauty getting excited about all the books in the Beast’s library, Dam was all agog at the sight of his museum pieces.
    K. ✅ The bookstore
    L. Not sure. Wasn’t this after he autographed his book with her emoji?
    M. ✅ Yes in the basement. They were studying his old artifacts. I can’t remember why he smiled though.
    N. ✅ Yes. Studying. I think she told him that she was going to understand whatever weird things that come out from his mouth
    O. ✅ After her midterms, he picked her up to go on a trip. She tripped.
    P. ✅ He wanted a slow bus ride.
    Q. ✅ Fox’s dating style: Sauna. After he made her look like a lamb. Saunas were in style as a dating venue 15 years ago.
    R. After sauna, they went to a chicken place. A 40-year old restaurant. He smiled bec she said that she didn’t mind sharing his old memories as long as they were together. She said that for somebody who was almost a millennium year old, a decade would have been just like a blink of an eye.
    S. Outside her gate, before the kimchi session. He wanted to do ordinary, family-style things with her because he didn’t have a family, and he couldn’t do ordinary things with her like Tiger Sunwoo.
    T. ✅ Wearing apron
    U. ✅ What’s your favorite? Her smile.
    V. She told him that she asked Mountain Spirit to protect her from illnesses and death. He laughed, saying she always surprised him.
    W. After they met the “oppa” saleslady, Dam wanted to eat “oh”murice rice.
    X. ✅ After he confessed “I love you” and gave her the necklace
    Y. Before he vanished, they played hooky. They took pics.
    Z. ✅Ending

  14. Oh 14/26. I just passed! hahahha

    Ah yes, those ones I remembered now. 🙂

    Thanks so much Queen! I’ll miss MRIAG. I’m not sure I can still do Fox’s romantic lines.

  15. Ah, Thank you for this post, @packmule3 and for the insinuation that I have a photographic memory when I can’t remember where I put my glasses/phone/keys/facemask on a daily basis. You are adorable.

    I haven’t had my coffee yet. Nietzsche for number 1. 😁 I’ll blame my ditziness on what British people are calling a heat wave. (Back in Chicago it would just be a fine summer day.)

    @Good Twin, I watched You Are My Hero. Ah, the charming couple, and the 2nd and 3rd couples as well. I loved the action scenes and how supportive and caring the leads were of each other. The FL has such a charming smile.

  16. Ah, that smile blitzkrieg. The song running through my head is ‘He’s So Fine’ by the Chiffons.

  17. Apologies for the consecutive posts. Blame it on the time zone.

    In the ‘what to watch’ category, I saw that Nam Da Reum will be ML for the 1st time soon. The rest of you probably know him from many dramas – I remember his excellent cameo from Start-up and his part in DAYS. I want to watch the 1st episode at least.

    https://www.soompi.com/article/1480162wpp/nam-da-reum-shares-his-thoughts-about-his-new-fantasy-romance-drama-working-with-kim-sae-ron-and-more

    @agdr03. ‘he was smiling so my brains didn’t work’ 😍😆

  18. I flunked the Poxy smile test! LOL! They all kinda looked the same to me but it made me smile just the same.

    Thanks @Fern for info on Nam Da Reum’s first ML role! I also like Kim Tae Ri and watched her as a kid actor and now she is noona (2 yrs older than him). I’ll definitely be on the lookout for this at the end of July.

    Cheers to the MRIAG examinees!!!

  19. There were only four examiners. 😟 Did the test intimidate the others?

    The Poxy smile test was like a subliminal message. Every time he smiled directly at the camera, he was telling us, “You can’t resist my smile. You’re going to smile back at me.”

    He was virtually flirting with us the viewers and making us fall for him. 😂

  20. No. It’s a good exam actually, it made me think of how good the drama was. 😉 But I wasn’t kidding too when I said I had to unfreeze my brain. 😂

    I think it was only me and @Fern who liked Fox with all of our shallow heart. 🤪

    Have a good day! 👋🏻

  21. Jang Ki Yung (Pox) has a movie on Netflix US called “Sweet and Sour”. Check it out if available in your region.

  22. Hello all,
    I don’t think I could pass this quiz..
    But it will be fun to answer hahaha

    1) Fermina Daza
    2) It was when Mr Fox that Dam is in love with that dish..
    3) a. family

    6) Ahh I forgot, is it 2 or 3 scenes? The rain was down when Mr Fox is sad because he thought Dam already forgot about him, he make it rain so he could walk under the umbrella with her, but Dam refused.
    7) the second date

    p: in the bus for their trip together
    q: sauna date
    y: on their date before Mr Fox disappeared

    @Janey,
    I watched the Sweet and Sour too. But I like JKY as Mr Fox more than Hyeok Oppa.. I haven’t watched Search WWW, but many told me that he was great there too.

    @Fern
    Thank you for the info. Is it on netflix? I want to watch Nam Da Reum performance as main lead..

  23. @moonstar512, I don’t know if it will be on Netflix. If the process is normal, there will be many more Soompi articles before it finally happens. I think it’s in the early stages still.

  24. @Moonstar – agree, I like JKY as Pox better than the movie character for sure. Will check out Search WWW. 😉

  25. Hey!!! You missed the main question of the drama!
    It’s:

    How many time the heroin fall and there is a guy to receive her ?

    This kdrama get the world record about reuse of this cliche.
    I just think about that because there was a scene like that in Yumi cells, except… Yumi just fall on the ground, ahaha! No worry, this give also another cliche scene after: take care of the little boo boo.
