Tale of the Nine Tailed is honestly such a fun watch if you’re into fantasy and K-dramas. The story mixes Korean mythology with modern life, and it’s all about Lee Yeon (played by Lee Dong-wook), this super good-looking nine-tailed fox who’s kind of grumpy but also really soft deep down.
The vibe is very dark fairytale meets urban fantasy, but it doesn’t feel heavy. There’s action, emotional moments, and a lot of cool lore about gumihos and old legends. Plus, the whole past-lives, fated-love thing between Lee Yeon and Ji-ah (Jo Bo-ah) keeps you hooked.
Kim Bum, who plays Yeon's mischievous brother Lee Rang, honestly steals the show sometimes. His character is messy, sad, funny — everything at once.
The drama looks really good visually — like they spent money on it — and the soundtrack fits the mood perfectly. Some episodes drag a tiny bit in the middle, but it picks up again towards the end, and the last few episodes are totally worth it.
If you like fantasy, good-looking leads, complicated brotherhood drama, and a bit of spooky folklore, Tale of the Nine Tailed is a solid choice. Definitely not super heavy — just a cool ride with lots of heart.
The romance is sweet but not cheesy. You can actually feel the history between Yeon and Ji-ah. It's a fated-love kind of story, but it doesn't feel overly dramatic — just emotional in a good way. Also, Kim Bum absolutely kills it as Lee Rang. His character is chaotic but lovable, and every scene with him hits hard.
The pacing is pretty good, though around the middle it slows a little (like most K-dramas do), but the ending really ties everything together in a satisfying way. You won't feel like your time was wasted at all.
If you like fantasy, supernatural stories, emotional character relationships, and a bit of action with a beautiful visual style, Tale of the Nine Tailed is definitely worth watching. It's the perfect blend of myth, love, and adventure.
