The new Korean drama beat out a Japanese drama which was the previous No. 1 show on the website.

"My Girlfriend is a Gumiho", a fantasy love story, is about Miho (played by Sin) who is a gumiho, a nine tailed fox that feeds on human livers, who was unleashed by Cha (played by Lee) after being imprisoned for 500 years.

The show was written by sisters Hong Jeong-eun and Hong Mir-ran who previously wrote hit dramas "You're Beautiful" (SBS, 2009) and "Hong Gil Dong" (KBS, 2008).

It currently airs on the primetime slot on Wednesday and Thursday nights during the same hour as KBS' "Bread, Love and Dreams" and MBC's "Road No. 1".
