Lee Dong Wook, Kim Bum, and Kim So Yeon will be the main leads of the upcoming tvN drama "Tale of the Nine-Tailed Season 2."

On April 21, media outlet JoyNews24 shared that Lee Dong Wook and Kim Bum will return to the second season of "Tale of the Nine-Tailed." Kim So Yeon will also join the upcoming drama. It was also revealed that the production already held the first script reading on April 18.

Because the drama became a seasonal system, there will also be a change in the time setting and background. "Tale of the Nine-Tailed Season 2" is set in the 1930s and will tell the story of how Lee Yeon became a mountain god. It will also showcase the back story of Lee Rang. 

Lee Dong Wook will continue to play the character named Lee Yeon. Kim Bum will also continue as the character named Lee Rang. Kim So Yeon on the other hand will play as the owner of the Gyeongseong restaurant Myoyeongak and the former western mountain god. 

The drama will reportedly have a third season. The broadcast date of "Tale of the Nine-Tailed Season 2" has not yet been revealed.

Actor Kim Yong-ji predicted the filming of his next work. On the 18th, Kim Yong-ji posted several photos along with a short sentence "Yeah" through his Instagram.

 

In the published photo, Kim Yong-ji is wearing a black T-shirt and ruffles his hair. In the photo that followed, the name tag was released, which seemed to foretell the filming of tvN's new drama 'Gumiho Season 2', and drew attention. Many netizens who saw this showed various reactions such as "I've been waiting for a long time for a Gumiho!" and "It's a new project," and attracted attention.

 

Meanwhile, Kim Yong-ji played the role of Ki Yu-ri in the tvN drama 'Gumiho', which ended in 2021.

She plays a different character than season 1 but I don`t know if it is related to the other character.  I have a feeling she will be a human this time, a Korean independence activist but let see.

Actors Lee Dong-wook, Kim Beom and Kim So-yeon will unite in 'Gumihod2'. According to a broadcast official on the 21st, the production team of tvN's new drama 'Gumiho 2' and actors Lee Dong-wook, Kim Beom, and Kim So-yeon held a full script reading on the 18th.

'Gumiho 2' is the sequel to 'Gumiho' which ended successfully last year. Following Season 1, Lee Dong-wook and Kim Beom appeared as they are, and Kim So-yeon joined as a new member. Jo Bo-ah, who drew romance with Lee Dong-wook, is not together.

 

Also, with the season system, the background of the times also changes. It is a full-fledged ghost story hunting action play by a nine-tailed fox that crash-landed in the 1930s, and tells the story of Lee Yeon (Lee Dong-wook) becoming a mountain god and Lee Rang (Kim Bum)'s unfinished story.

 

In particular, expectations are high for Kim So-yeon, a new member of season 2. Kim So-yeon's character is the owner of Myoyeon-gak, a high-end restaurant in Gyeongseong, and a former mountain god of the West. Kim So-yeon showed her dazzling presence by taking on the role of Seojin Cheon, the villainous woman of all time in the SBS 'Penthouse' series, and won the SBS Drama Awards last year.

 

Accordingly, attention is focused on what kind of charm and acting skills Kim So-yeon will show in 'The Nine-Miho Dial 2', which she selected as her next work. Also, expectations are added to the re-breathing of Lee Dong-wook and Kim Bum, who completed the chemistry between the nine-tailed fox brothers in Season 1.

Why they don`t announce the other cast members? Why this secrecy? They said the first script reading took place. There weren`t only the three protagonists, that`s for sure. :D

Additionally, Kim So Yeon won the Award for Best Actress – Television at the 57th Baeksang Arts Awards and the Grand Prize (Daesang) at 2021 SBS Drama Awards.

Here’s Kim So Yeon Character as CONFIRMED Female Lead of “Tale of the Nine-Tailed” Season 2 with Lee Dong Wook & Kim Bum

Penthouse” actress Kim So Yeon has confirmed to join Lee Dong Wook and Kim Bum for Season 2 of “Tale of the Nine-Tailed” as the new female lead. Check out the following details of the characters and updates for the new series.

Kim So Yeon: New Confirmed Female Lead of “Tale of the Nine-Tailed” Season 2 With Lee Dong Wook and Kim Bum

Kdrama fans, “Tale of the Nine-Tailed” and its gorgeous gumihos will soon return to the small screen for a Season 2 with a brand-new female lead.

After months of discussions, “Penthouse” actress Kim So Yeon has officially accepted the female lead role for “Tale of the Nine-Tailed” Season 2. She will once again showcase her outstanding acting skills alongside Lee Dong Wook and Kim Bum.

Following these confirmed cast members, it means that “Tailed of the Nine-Tailed” returns with its season 2 with all of its original cast, except for the former female lead, Jo Bo Ah.

 

tale-of-nine-tailed-season-2-female-lead

 

Lee Dong Wook, Kim Bum, and Kim Yong Ji: All the Gumihos Are Back Without Jo Bo Ah

The first time rumors about “Tale of the Nine-Tailed” Season 2 appeared, there had been clues that actress Jo Bo Ah would not return to the series as the female lead.

Many fans have felt disappointed with this decision. After all, Lee Dong Wook’s character Lee Yeon has been known to have a long-time affection for Jo Bo Ah’s character Ji Ah. So having his character appear with a different female lead would contradict this plot only for a ship that will never sail.

 

The Suspected Reason Why Jo Bo Ah Did Not Join “Tale of the Nine-Tailed” Season 2

So why didn’t Jo Bo Ah appear as one of the cast members for “Tale of the Nine-Tailed” Season 2?

While there’s no official statement as to the real reason just yet, many fans believe that there are various circumstances behind the reason for Jo Bo Ah’s noninvolvement in “Tale of the Nine-Tailed” Season 2.

 

Firstly, it is possible that Jo Bo Ah did not return for Season 2 because she had agreed to join another project before the production team finalized the plan for “Tale of the Nine-Tailed” Season 2. Therefore, it is basically impossible for her to join the drama.

Secondly, the most suspected reason why Jo Bo Ah does not join “Tale of the Nine-Tailed” Season 2 is that there is no room for her character in the storyline just yet. Since the story would revolve around the Japanese colonial era, A Eum has yet to be reborn as Nam Ji Ah.

 

After all, there are two special requirements if you want your character to return in Season 2: either you’re born in that particular era or one of the gorgeous immortal gumihos. Unfortunately, Jo Bo Ah’s character is not one of them.

 

Will Kim So Yeon Replace Jo Bo Ah?

If that’s the case, does it mean that Kim So Yeon will replace Jo Bo Ah in the “Tale of the Nine-Tailed” Season 2 storyline?

She doesn’t necessarily do.

Penthouse” actress Kim So Yeon will indeed become the new female lead for “Tale of the Nine-Tailed” Season 2, but it doesn’t mean that she will replace Jo Bo Ah and her character in the series.

As a matter of fact, rumors said that Kim So Yeon would play a character who falls in love with Lee Yeon. However, the feeling is one-sided since Lee Yeon only has A Eum in his heart.

 

Tale of the Nine-Tailed” Season 2 Returns with a Different Genre Revolving Around Lee Dong Wook and Kim Bum

Besides, unlike the previous season, which mostly revolved around fantasy-romance between Lee Yeon and Ji Ah, “Tale of the Nine-Tailed” will completely change its genre for season 2.

Set in the Japanese colonial era in the 1930s, “Tale of the Nine-Tailed” Season 2 will become a full-fledged action fantasy genre series revolving around the gumiho brothers: Lee Yeon and Lee Rang.

In Season 2, we will witness Lee Yeon and his adventure to hunt down evil spirits on the peninsula, as well as the unfinished stories of Lee Rang’s past.

Along with the brothers’ combo, we would also witness the background story of how Lee Yeon became a mountain god in the first place.

 

What is Kim So Yeon Character in “Tale of the Nine-Tailed” Season 2?

So, what is Kim So Yeon character as the new female lead of “Tale of the Nine-Tailed” Season 2, and what is her take on the storyline?

On April 22, the media reported that Kim So Yeon would bring a fresh new vibe as the female lead of “Tale of Nine-Tailed” Season 2 as a high-class mysterious deity.

 

Kim So Yeon will star as the owner of the “Myoyeon Gak”, a luxurious restaurant located in Gyeongseong. She would seem like your ordinary elegant restaurant owner, indeed. However, behind her graceful human figure lies the fact that she was a former guardian deity of the West.

 

Tale of the Nine-Tailed” Season 2 Starring Lee Dong Wook, Kim Bum, Kim So Yeon, and Kim Yong Ji: Possible Release Date

Finally, Lee Dong Wook, Kim Bum, Kim So Yeon, and Kim Yong Ji started the first script reading for “Tale of the Nine-Tailed” Season 2 earlier this week. On April 21, Korean media reported that the team had gathered for their first table read. And Kim Yong Ji’s Instagram update confirmed the report.

 

Therefore, since the first table read just started this week, we will have to wait until at least early next year for the “Tale of the Nine-Tailed” Season 2 release date. That is why please stay with Kpoppost and our InstagramFacebook, and Twitter for more updates of “Tale of the Nine-Tailed” Season 2 starring Lee Dong Wook, Kim Bum, and Kim So Yeon.

Ryu Kyung-soo joins the lead role in 'Gumiho 2'... Kim So-yeon and NEW chemistry

 

6bce1e46170eac.jpg

 

As a result of the coverage of Joy News 24 on the 2nd, Ryu Kyung-soo was recently confirmed for the lead role in tvN's new drama 'Gumiho 2'.

 

'Gumiho 2' is the sequel to 'Gumiho' which ended successfully last year. Following Season 1, Lee Dong-wook and Kim Beom appeared as it is, and Kim So-yeon and Ryu Kyung-soo joined as new members. After reading the script recently, we started filming in earnest.

 

Ryu Kyung-soo, who received attention as a 'monster rookie' through the drama 'Confession', showed off his solid acting skills in the drama 'Itaewon Class' and 'How to Love a City Man and Woman', followed by the movie 'Host' and Netflix's 'Hell'. He also joined Netflix's 'Glitch' and 'Jeongi', followed by 'Gumiho Dial 2' and continues his 'trend actor'.

 

'Gumiho's 2' depicts a different era background from season 1. It is a full-fledged ghost story hunting action drama about a nine-tailed fox who crash-landed in the 1930s. There is a lot of anticipation for the new story and chemistry that Kim So-yeon and Ryu Kyung-soo, newly joined, will show.

Lee Dong Wook And Kim Bum Confirmed To Return For “Tale Of The Nine-Tailed” Season 2 + Kim So Yeon And Ryu Kyung Soo To Join

tvN’s “Tale of the Nine-Tailed” will be back for a new season!

On May 3, it was confirmed that Lee Dong Wook and Kim Bum will be returning for Season 2 titled “Tale of the Nine-Tailed 1938.” Furthermore, Kim So Yeon and Ryu Kyung Soo will be joining the cast. The new action drama will deliver a different form of enjoyment from Season 1 through a story of the male gumiho (a mythical nine-tailed fox) Yi Yeon (Lee Dong Wook) in the chaotic era of 1938. In addition to an intricately woven tale about Korean mythical beings, the drama will have dynamic action scenes and diverse characters. Director Kang Shin Hyo and scriptwriter Han Woo Ri from Season 1 will be reuniting for the new project.

“Tale of the Nine-Tailed” originally aired at the end of 2020 and starred Lee Dong Wook, Jo Bo Ah, and Kim Bum in a modern fantasy story. Although Yi Yeon found a happy ending with Nam Ji Ah (Jo Bo Ah) in Season 1, he will get swept up in an unexpected incident and get summoned to the year of 1938. Season 2 will depict Yi Yeon’s desperate struggle to return to present day where all the people precious to him are.

Lee Dong Wook will be once again leading the story as the charismatic and romantic Yi Yeon. The actor shared, “I’m happy to be able to take on ‘Tale of the Nine-Tailed’ once again. I worked enjoyably with splendid staff and great actors. Please look forward to it.”

Kim So Yeon, who made a lasting impression through “The Penthouse” series, will be joining the cast of Season 2 as Ryu Hong Joo, the former western mountain goddess and the owner of Myoyeongak, Gyeongseong’s (past Seoul’s) finest restaurant. Raising anticipation for her next transformation with her diverse acting spectrum, Kim So Yeon commented, “I’m very grateful for the fact that I can join and work together on the new season. I’ll work hard on preparing in order to successfully portray the attractive character Ryu Hong Joo.”

Kim Bum will be returning as Yi Rang. Although he resolved his misunderstanding with Yi Yeon in the last season, he is still in his rebellious stage in 1938 when he meets the Yi Yeon from the future. Their relationship will be another important point to anticipate in the second season. Kim Bum remarked, “I’m so very happy to work together [on the drama] following Season 1, which I poured a lot of affection into. Please highly anticipate the upcoming ‘Tale of the Nine-Tailed 1938’ and Yi Rang.”

Ryu Kyung Soo, who previously starred in “Hellbound,” will be starring as the great doctor Cheon Moo Young who can even save the dead. As the former northern mountain god, he was once the only friend of Yi Yeon and Hong Joo. However, due to an incident, he begins to harbor hostility towards Yi Yeon, and the two face an inevitable battle. The actor shared, “I’m looking forward to joining the interesting world. Cheon Moo Young is a very three-dimensional figure, so I think it is a difficult but big challenge. I will do my best to showcase good results.”

tvN’s “Tale of the Nine-Tailed 1938” will premiere in 2023. Stay tuned for more updates!

I tried to watch Penthouse for So yeon also. I don`t like the writer `s style of writing at all . I resisted 4 episodes but I watched her scenes (most of them).

 

From the few informations released, we found out more about the plot of this season. It looks like Ryu Kyung Soo will play the former mountain god himself. He was his friend but then he became his rival. Sort of. I imagined someone older in the role but I am alright seing him in this role. So, he will be one of the antagonists in the story. I like that his character will be three-dimensional. Those are my favorite type of characters. We`ll see the story.

So yeon says that Hong Joo will be an atractive character to play. I hope there is some depth in her. It looks like there is an unrequited love from her part. That can make for a tragic character for herself. If Hong Joo will be a three dimentional character as well, I will be glad. 

 

I can`t believe some viewers predicted right that it will be time travel (Lee Yeon traveled in the past). I don`t know what to think about this senario. Is really necesarry? I never thought it is a possibility because it could easier to follow the story from the past. Maybe there was a tragedy and he will want to undo it. We`ll see.

 

Lee Rang is still rebellious in 1938, as predicted. Perhaps Lee yeon came to the past to safe him.

The time travel bother me. I know this drama is fantasy but adding time travel complicates the story. It is hard to see a satisfying explanation for this and it is hard to deal with two sets of fantasy genre. But let see the writer`s skills.

So in this season 2, time travel for ML and probably no romance with new female lead and he want to return in the present where the people he loves lives, but season 3 is rumored to be in other past also
