Tale of the Nine-Tailed

This is my first time writing a review, I had to write this because it's been a really long time since I last watched such a beautiful drama! Only 6 episodes so far, but it's getting better and better, and a lot of secrets are yet to be revealed. Lee Dong-wook has really nailed the role, he's just the perfect actor for Yeon's character. All the actors have played their roles very well to he honest. I never for a second got bored or thought that it's going slowly, I'm enjoying all of it. It's already one of my top 5 favorite kdramas. It's very sad, yet heartwarming... it will make you smile, laugh and cry. I only hope that it won't have a sad ending, because I really can't get over sad endings.

Just finished watching episodes 13 and 14, and I am astonished at how mesmerizing this series is... I'm not always a huge fan of fantasy... it has to be very well done for me to be even moderately interested. So many fantasy shows are just cheesy and poorly executed. But this... this is incredible! It is so well - written and tightly plotted...the story just slays, it is so fresh! The direction is perfectly handled, giving room for the story and the actors to breathe... production values are amazing, and the acting is exceptional for a fantasy series... The actors' chemistry is on fire, not only between Lee Dong-Wook and Jo Bo-Ah, who play the lead characters, but also between each of them and Kim Bum, who plays the half-gumiho, half-human brother... I have read that there is also some improv happening, which just completely blows my mind! If the director is allowing/encouraging that, then you know you have some superbly talented actors in the production... Supporting actors Hwang Hee, Kim Yong-Ji, and Lee Tae-Ri are also putting in stellar work here. Character development is everything, and it is not lacking anywhere... If you happen to be a music lover, you may find yourself exploring the work of the artists on the soundtrack... Blue Moon, by Kim Jong-Wan (NELL), is the perfect theme: moody, intense, and soulful... Granted, there are 2 episodes left, so I suppose things could spin massively out of control, but having not once been disappointed by anything this far in, I think we're good... This is everything to love in one amazing package... Is there anyway possible to do it again?

The ending is superb, it will make you cry real hard. One of the best K drama of 2020.

I really really enjoyed this drama, up until the very last scene of the entire series. I didn't question a lot as it's a fantasy, and we know how carried away the writers get with fantasy dramas. There were some amazing characters in this, most notably Lee Rang and Ji Ah, and i really enjoyed their respective character arcs. But the last scene had me scratching my head as to why they ended it that way??

Though the Title seems familiar, some says common and maybe very similar to other Kdramas before. This one, hits amazingly different. Uncomparable. Aside from the fact that I'm a Lee Dong Wook fan, who led me here. I managed to read the storyline on Netflix, A Man version of a nine-tailed fox this got captured me first, then I watched the preview which then I played the very first episode. I thought at first its a progressing story but no. Its 16 eps already completed. Nobody can't stop me, neither myself from watching undisturbed why? The revelations were given with the right mix of a little suspense, thrill, romance and surprise. It makes click, Next Episode, because you would want the next scenes asap!! The last two episodes made me cry like I never cried before. I love the chemistry of the actors. All of them!
