New cast members include Kang Han-na, who was previously reported as considering the project, playing Yang Hye-seon, who is another gumiho. Her character is described as having a fabulous visual sense as well as a near perfect ability to pass for human. This will be the first new role for Kang Han-na following "Start Up" where she played the second lead.

Kim Do-wan will play Do Jae-jin, and Bae In-hyuk will play Gye Seon-woo. "My Roommate Is a Gumiho" is being marketed as having a webtoon perfect lineup, as the relevant actors are noteworthy for having very similar physical appearances to the characters they will be portraying. "My Roommate Is a Gumiho" is being directed by Baek Seung-ryong of "The Idle Mermaid" and "Pegasus Market" and is expected to air on tvN sometime next year.
