Prequel To An All-Time Favorite
The first season of Tale of the Nine-Tailed was instantly one of my all time favorite k-dramas even though I had only watched about 5 dramas at this point. That ranking has not changed... well not completely.
It has been many years since I've watched season one but season two is BETTER. It's so much better. The romance in the first one was okay, but I could've lived without it. I didn't think they had any sort of mind-blowing chemistry or anything. Much like Goblin, forget about the ML/FL love story and give me more of the bromance.
I'm so glad Lee Rang was so prevalent in this season. I cannot get enough of him and Lee Yeon together. I wasn't sure how to feel about Hong Joo but damnit if she doesn't grow on you despite doing bad things. Much like how Lee Rang did in season one.
I thought the love story with Yeo Hee and him was only okay. I saw a connection from her to him but no moment that really sold me on when he started to love her. I had completely forgotten that Eun Ho and Shin Joo wound up together in the first one. They are very cute.
Moo Yeong was an interesting side plot. Seemed like it could've been squashed with a conversation. Like why are you trying to resurrect someone who tried to kill you? He really glossed over that. Go figure he'd FAFO at the end. I'm glad he was brought back though. Way to go OG Lee Yeon.
I also super loved Jae Yoo and even Mi Yeon. I love that those two and Shin Ju came to be so close!
Anyways, I loved this story so much but for whatever reason I thought it was 16 episodes, so when it ended in 12 episodes I was devastated. I had a feeling as it was wrapping up, but I was still heart broken.
