Synopsis: (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Girlfriend_Is_a_Nine-Tailed_Fox)
Cha Dae-woong (Lee Seung-gi) is a normal college student, with ambitions of becoming an action star. Until one day, he accidentally releases a gumiho (Shin Min-ah),
a legendary fox with nine tails who was sealed inside a painting by
Samshin Grandmother (三神). Fleeing the scene, Dae-woong suffers a
life-threatening fall and is only saved by the gumiho giving him her
"fox bead" (여우 구슬). When Dae-woong awakes and meets a mysterious pretty
girl, he initially treats her as eccentric or mentally ill, before
finally understanding that she is a gumiho in human form. According to
myth, gumihos eat men's livers, so Dae-woong is scared out of his wits,
and the gumiho takes advantage of his fear by sticking by his side. He
names her "Mi-ho," and keeps her happy by buying her beef and hiding her
true identity. Mi-ho wants nothing more than to become human, so they
strike a deal: she'll lend him her mystical fox bead so that with his
increased speed and strength, he'll be able to do difficult stunts, and
in exchange he'll help her become human. As time passes, they get to
know each other better and Dae-woong is charmed by how Mi-ho looks at
the world with childlike wonder.
Enter Park Dong-joo, a half-human, half-supernatural being, whose
cover identity is as a working veterinarian. Dong-joo tells Mi-ho that
she'll be able to turn human if she follows these instructions: She must
drink a human's blood then place her fox bead inside a human's body for
100 days. Once she does this, her supernatural self will start to die,
gradually. Her gumiho energy will slowly empty away while her bead will
live in the human for 100 days and take in his energy. And when she
reclaims her bead, she will become human. Mi-ho happily complies, and
Dae-woong accepts her bead.
However, Dong-joo deliberately withheld the information that this
process will result in the human's death. Mi-ho and Dae-woong thus fall
in love without knowing the consequences of fulfilling her goal: in 100
days, Dae-woong will die if Mi-ho becomes fully human, but Mi-ho will
die if the bead isn't returned
