[[File:gf_6256.jpg|frame| Mi Ho and Dae Woong]]
 
''[[My Girlfriend Is a Nine-Tailed Fox]]'' is a 2010 [[Korean Drama]] written by [[The Hong Sisters]] about, well, [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|a guy whose girlfriend is a nine-tailed fox]]. Dae Woong is a rather irresponsible film school student who basically lives by mooching off his rich grandfather. After being tricked into freeing the Gumiho [(nine-tailed fox]) from a painting where she was bound for 500 years, Dae Woong falls down a cliff in a panic and mortally injures himself. The Gumiho saves his life by giving him her fox's bead, and so now Dae Woong is stuck doing everything she asks or he will die from having the bead removed. Of course, this doesn't stop him from trying to find ways to get rid of the fox ("Mi Ho"). Too bad she's fallen in love with him and won't go away.
 
Of course, this being a drama, it's pretty inevitable that Dae Woong won't want to get rid of her by the end.

=== ''My Girlfriend Is a Nine-Tailed Fox'' provides examples of: ===
* [[Actor Allusion]]: Dae Woong tells Mi Ho that she eats more than [[wikipedia:Kang Ho Dong|Kang Ho Dong]] (a fat comedian). Lee Seung gi, who plays Dae Woong, and Kang Ho Dong were both regular cast members of the variety show ''1 Night 2 Days'', so Lee Seung gi would know exactly how much Kang Ho Dong eats.
* [[Art Imitates Art]]: Min Sook takes a header off a gym balcony. Director Ban dashes across the gym floor and catches her, and they wind up in a pose exactly the same as the iconic ''[[Gone with the Wind]]'' poster--which happens to be hanging on a wall directly behind them.
Line 47 ⟶ 46:
* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]: Mi Ho's constant references to "eating" Dae Woong
* [[Epunymous Title]]: Gumiho = nine-tailed fox. The show's name can be translated as "My girlfriend is a nine-tailed fox" or "My girlfriend is gumiho." Also, the main character is called Gu Mi Ho for most of the drama.
* [[Mr. Fanservice]]: [http://iluvjin.files.wordpress.com/2010/08/mgf9tf-ep-01-han-avi_002521087.jpg Park] [https://web.archive.org/web/20191216043027/http://evacuatewithstyle.org/blog/images/content/ews20100819mgig22.jpg Dong] [http://soompi_images.s3.amazonaws.com/45af7d4e9d45cb22c9ff9f9af05ed0ae_medium.jpg Joo]{{Dead link}}
* [[Exact Words]]: "If I'm not with that girl, I'll die!" sounds like a love-addled teenager's confession, but Dae Woong actually needs Mi Ho's fox bead to live.
** This is also [[Played for Laughs]] in another scene, when he climbs a rope to get away from Mi-Ho and he gets a cellphone call (which due to it falling to the ground, is intercepted by her). The grandpa asks "Where's Dae Woong?" and she says, "He's on top of me."
Line 103 ⟶ 102:
{{quote|'''Mi Ho:''' You must be a liar.}}
* [[Toilet Humour]]
* [[Took a Level Inin Badass]]: Dae Woong {{spoiler|who, despite rejecting any responsibility in the first two acts, would rather die than let Mi Ho die by the third act.}}
* [[Total Eclipse of the Plot]]: One brings Mi Ho and Dae Woong together at the end.
* [[Villainous Breakdown]]: Dong Joo believes human are selfish, {{spoiler|but cowardly Dae Woong teaches him otherwise.}}
