‘Today I’m Human’ is finally premiering.<\/p>\n
Debuting today (the 16th), SBS’s new Friday-Saturday drama ‘Today I’m Human’ is a fantasy romance about an MZ gumiho who doesn\u2019t want to become human and a self-loving human in a chaotic yet redemptive story of self-discovery. <\/p>\n
The drama offers a playful and imaginative story that navigates between reality and fantasy, introducing viewers to a new gumiho universe unlike anything seen before. As viewers anticipate the long-awaited premiere, here are some key points to watch.<\/p>\n
#. SBS’s Proven Track Record in K-Fantasy Romantic Comedies<\/p>\n
Kicking off the 2026 SBS Friday-Saturday drama lineup, ‘Today I’m Human’ follows global hits like ‘Gwigung’ and ‘My Demon,’ raising expectations for another memorable K-fantasy romance.<\/p>\n
Prior SBS hits like ‘Gwigung,’ a fantasy romance about a shaman tied to a cursed scroll’s fate, and ‘My Demon,’ which explored a contract marriage between an heiress and a powerless demon, have captivated audiences with their unique plots featuring encounters between humans and mystical beings. ‘Today I’m Human’ is set to continue this trend with its own exciting premise.<\/p>\n
‘Today I’m Human’ promises a unique and thrilling romance between ‘MZ Gumiho’ Eun-ho (played by Kim Hye-yoon) and ‘World-Class Soccer Star’ Kang Si-yeol (played by Lomon). Writers Park Chan-young and Jo A-young said, \u201cWatch how the young Kang Si-yeol and the gumiho Eun-ho become entangled in a \u2018love-hate\u2019 relationship in the first episode.\u201d They hope viewers will enjoy the playful, affectionate, and sometimes contentious interactions between Eun-ho and Kang Si-yeol.<\/p>\n
#. Blending Familiarity with Innovation: Introducing the ‘MZ Gumiho’<\/p>\n
Director Kim Jeong-kwon cites the “gumiho who doesn\u2019t want to become human” as a key point, explaining, \u201cUnlike typical stories that start with a desire to become something, ‘Today I’m Human’ does the opposite.\u201d The character Eun-ho differs significantly from past depictions of gumihos who long to be human, as she is completely satisfied with her unique existence.<\/p>\n
Eun-ho utilizes her centuries-honed powers to make money by granting wishes for humans at a price, ensuring she avoids becoming human through various minor misdeeds.<\/p>\n
The reimagined ‘MZ Gumiho’ Eun-ho combines familiarity with novelty, portraying her as a relatable and distinguished character who evokes empathy and humor.<\/p>\n
#. Enchanting Chemistry of ‘Romantic Comedy Fairy’ Kim Hye-yoon X ‘Rising Star’ Lomon<\/p>\n
The captivating chemistry between the gumiho and the human promises excitement for drama fans. Kim Hye-yoon returns 1 year and 8 months later as Eun-ho, the MZ gumiho who does not wish to become human.<\/p>\n
Her charming performance is set to carry on the legacy of the ‘K-Gumiho,’ showcasing her evolution in a uniquely engaging role. Kim Hye-yoon shared, \u201cMeet the unprecedented ‘MZ Gumiho’ character, and focus on the dynamic and elaborate styles and the evolving relationship between Eun-ho and Kang Si-yeol. Stay curious about Eun-ho\u2019s unpredictable future.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lomon ventures into the romantic comedy genre as world-renowned soccer player ‘Kang Si-yeol.’ With refined acting skills and a mature charm, he is poised to continue his rise.<\/p>\n
Lomon expressed, \u201cWhile there are certainly smiles and excitement, there will also be moments that linger in your heart. I hope that by the end of the series, viewers reconsider love and relationships.\u201d<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, SBS’s new Friday-Saturday drama ‘Today I’m Human’ premieres today (the 16th) at 9:50 PM.<\/p>\n
