Hyeyoon's Acting is Superb, but the writing is bad and the chemistry is zero
Too many many people who said that they don't understand why this drama got so much hate. So I warn you, to all the new audiences and to all the "speak-no-evil" fans out there, make sure you are stoic enough to continue reading this comment to clear your confusion about the hate of this drama.
I'll start with the writing. Yes the writing is THAT bad. It is. The storyline is kinda spinning around the FL's story and the ML's story individually (that's so boring and never attached to each other's background story) and ended up forcing the leads to suddenly fall in love with each other out of the blue, out of nowhere, even though the FL has done many bad things to the ML and to the ML's best friend.
The storyline depiction is too dragging that can't spark a heart-fluttering and deep chemistry between FL and ML at all, so their chemistry is ZERO. They are just like frenemies or partner-in-crime throughout the story, totally not like lovers but the writing kinda forced them to act like one. It's better if this story isn't forced to be a romcom but just a fantasy-comedy instead, where they also team up with the 8-tailed fox. That way, maybe the chemistry of the team would be greater.
Those who keep insisting that there is chemistry between the FL and ML or that Hyeyoon and Lomon have best chemistry whatsoever are those blind fans who only judge anything by looks and visuals. They don't give a single f*ck about anything deeper than just visuals, such as storyline and acting skills. No matter how mess the storyline and the acting skills are, they would turn a total blind eye of it and provocate the new audiences that these two's chemistry are the best and impressive. *sigh*
Well, the FL (Hyeyoon) did nothing wrong about it, her acting is superb as a selfish, annoying, and eccentric gumiho.
Blame it on the writing and also the ML's (Lomon's) lack of acting. Yes it is. Yes he is JUST good-looking but his acting can't keep up with Hyeyoon's acting (his expressions are only 😐 whether he's happy, sad, or distraught). His characterization is a complete mess. That's a fact. How could he possibly fall in love with a woman who took his entire life one-sidedly? And when she can't return anything to the way it was bcs she has become a human, how come he could easily become infatuated to her out of the blue without (maybe for example) cursing her or taking revenge on her? She even sold one of his thing without telling him, wow, there are actually enough reasons to create a storyline where he can take revenge on her first, which can then be directed towards attraction because maybe the woman does something important for him (and also for his friend Hyun Wooseok) that makes him melt, instead of falling in love out of nowhere. In fact, the FL is depicted as a totally self-centered character that never does something so meaningful for him in the first place that could make him go crazy of her.
Well, I know this is just a fantasy romcom, but making the story too implausible is also very frustrating, given the fact that this is one of the highly-anticipated 2026 k-dramas. It's a pity.
I think anyone who could see a drama objectively without only seeing the actor's visuals will think the same thing.
I don't care of those who against my opinion by saying "Then make your own drama! If you don't like it, just don't watch it!" Well indeed, but that doesn't stop me to give a criticism to a drama that actually flopped and has a poor storyline, right? What the heck, are we only allowed to speak up when we feel that a drama is good, but when we feel that a drama doesn't meet our expectations, we are forced to remain silent, is that so? STFU to all the blind "speak no evil" fans out there.
And if you think they have best chemistry or whatsoever from your own POV that's opposite to mine, that's all up to you. TBH, I totally agree to a comment saying that people with this POV are among the most fans who are built "differently", where they rate looks instead of shows.
I also kinda laugh so hard seeing the Wikipedia page of No Tail To Tell has been revised, saying that this drama received very positive reviews and highlighted "the impressive chemistry". IMPRESSIVE CHEMISTRY??? Impressive zero chemistry maybe you mean? LMAO there comes the blind "speak no evil" pack who try their best to make the new audiences turn a blind eye to the actual mostly mixed-to-negative reviews (looks > shows for them). Same old story over and over again.
Wendy's "My Everything" (and also Hyeyoon) are the only two things that kinda kept me going til the end of the drama.
DISCLAIMER :
This is totally NOT the FL's fault. Once again, she is totally superb here and she has that natural beauty and acting skill that makes her suit almost every role, including this one. But just because she is that good as an actress and then SBS decides to win her with the ML a Best Couple Award for this drama, I think SBS should be sued. This actress is so good that a co-star like this ML is totally UNMATCHED with her, and her character feels like depicted as a woman who is able to stand alone on her feet and is not interesting in having a romantic partner, but the storyline seems to force her to fall in love with a man who also doesn't seem to love her that much (and indeed there should be NO reason whatsoever that could make the ML fall in love with her, judging from the overall storyline from the beginning till the end), so the chemistry is none.
Also kinda sick seeing the ML always try to touch the FL in their interviews and when they were off-screen (the BTS). Too obvious that the ML is sooo eager to win the "Best Couple Award" with the actress he may long has a crush on, but shame on you pretty boy, you're failed 👎 But thank God the FL always tries to keep the distance between them. I won't describe what she actually felt 'cause those blind fans could attack me for being "Mr. Know-It-All" about the FL's feeling, but I honestly can feel how she felt about the ML's doing, judging from her body language. Body language totally can't lie, you know. Once again, no harm against her. I kinda feel sorry for the FL to take this drama as her comeback. She really deserves more.
PS :
Don't you dare attack me by forcing your idea or starting a mess or saying that I'm a hater of one of the individuals that act innocent and try to be a victim here, or I'll block and report your account.
