Watch: Lee Dong Wook, Jo Bo Ah, And Kim Bum Are Entangled In Mysteries In New Fantasy Drama Teaser

Sep 28, 2020

A new teaser has been released for the first episode of tvN’s “Tale of the Nine-Tailed”!

“Tale of the Nine-Tailed” is an “urban fantasy drama” that tells the story of a male gumiho (a mythical nine-tailed fox) named Yi Yeon (played by Lee Dong Wook) who has settled in the city and the fearless producing director Nam Ji Ah (Jo Bo Ah) who is determined to hunt him down. Kim Bum plays Yi Rang, Yi Yeon’s half-brother and the child of a human and a gumiho.

The teaser starts off with Nam Ji Ah making disapproving comments about Yi Yeon. She describes him as a gumiho who lost his position as the guardian spirit of the Baekdudaegan Mountain Range. Yi Yeon is not very happy about it as well, and he says, “Watch what you’re saying. If it weren’t for you, I’d be watching American TV shows while eating ice cream right now.”

In the woods, Yi Rang confronts Nam Ji Ah and suddenly gets into a fight with Yi Yeon, previewing intense moments of action. Later, Nam Ji Ah states, “The witness and the place of the accident are saying different things.”

Yi Rang then tells Nam Ji Ah, “At yeou gogae. That’s where I saw him.” Yeou gogae, which literally means “fox hill,” refers to the location as well as the legend about a fox that transforms into a human.

Yi Rang soon changes his appearance in mere seconds and wonders, “Is he still looking for her? His dead girlfriend.” Meanwhile, Yi Yeon scrolls through an article that includes a picture of producing director Nam Ji Ah on his phone, and he comments, “They’re so similar: her face and voice.”

The teaser ends as Nam Ji Ah asks about a fateful encounter with Yi Yeon from the past. She says, “The day we met 21 years ago at yeou gogae. What exactly happened then?”
