Korean Drama Review: Tale Of The Nine-Tailed.
Tale of The Nine-Tailed may be a fantasy-romance drama, with directors Kang Shin-Hyo and Jo Nam-Hyung bringing writer Han Woo-ri’s story to life. The Korean drama aired October 7, 2020- December 3, 2020, on the TvN network and received an an8.3/10 rating on MyDramaList.com.
it's the story of a nine-tailed fox Lee Yeon (Lee Dong-Wook) as he searches for his old flame, Nam Ji-ah (Jo Bo-ah), within the present. The cast is joined by Kim Bum, who plays the character Lee Rang, Yeon’s brother. Once our hero is finally ready to find his old flame reincarnated, their happy ending is disrupted by an ancient force of Lee Yeon’s past.
the 2 and their friends now need to not only protect one another but the planet also. As a whole, the script for Tale of The Nine-Tailed was absolutely fantastic. The dialogue between characters was interesting and interesting, without having an overload of sentiment.
one among my favorite scenes within the whole show is in episode one, when Nam Ji-ah is interviewing Lee Yeon because she suspects him, together with her paranormal director expertise. The honesty that Lee Yeon shows to our female lead was hilarious and was the primary scene of them that convinced me that the characters were capable of affection towards one another.
The story line was intense and had a transparent goal of getting the 2 results in be ready to live together at some point without having to stress about any monsters jumping out at them.
Acting
The star actor of the show that stuck bent me was the little question our lead, Lee dong-work. He has impressed audiences before together with his horror drama Strangers from Hell and once more brought his charming smile and seemed like he delivered his lines with ease.
His co-star, Jo Bo-ah also really surprised me together with her ability to possess her strong character shine through. it's the primary drama I watched together with her and she or he convinced me to eventually watch more of her dramas.
Kim Bum also did an excellent job at giving us an anti-hero character that shows us the struggles that he went through growing up and the way he feels rejected by Lee Yeon. One actor that I don’t think did the simplest job was the antagonist Lee Tae-ri, who plays the Image.
I wasn’t convinced of him being a threatening character and that i think that during this particular drama, he wasn’t right for the role. Him wanting Nam Ji-ah to himself (won’t say in what way) could are such a stimulating side plot, but it fell short on behalf of me.
Strengths
A huge strength of this show was the action scenes. Oh my gosh! Lee Yeon tearing through a crowd of zombies with Lee Rang was so amazing! In episode two, when he saves Nam Ji-ah from the possessed man, I got butterflies and I’m sure I wasn’t the sole one!
Secondly, the mixture of various tales and legends of Korea was extremely cool to observe as an American viewer. I don’t know much about gumshoe (nine-tailed foxes) but I learned tons during this show.
Lastly, the OST was awesome, and that I probably listened to “Blue Moon” by Kim Jong Wan way too repeatedly, but it had been with great care addicting.
