An important scene between Lee Dong Wook and Jo Bo Ah will be shown in the next episode of tvN’s “Tale of the Nine-Tailed.”

 

“Tale of the Nine-Tailed” is a fantasy action romance drama that stars Lee Dong Wook as the male gumiho (a mythical nine-tailed fox) Lee Yeon and Jo Bo Ah as producer Nam Ji Ah.

Spoiler

Lee Yeon, the guardian spirit of the Baekdudaegan Mountain Range, and Ah Eum (Jo Bo Ah), an abandoned princess, met in Lee Yeon’s forest and fell in love with one another. Ah Eum was in a state of shock after finding out that her father, the King, had let the Imoogi (a monster serpent) take over his body in order to save her. When the Imoogi told her he would return her father if she brought the mountain spirit to him, she tried to sacrifice herself instead and made viewers’ hearts ache.

 

New stills show Ah Eum using her sseugae chima (head shawl) to conceal and protect Lee Yeon, who is being chased. Lee Yeon is barely able to stand, and Ah Eum rushes over to hide him as soon as she sees him. Amidst the dangerous situation, the proximity between the two creates a brief romantic moment.

As Lee Yeon previously revealed that a fox must always return the favor they receive, it may be that Lee Yeon will give Ah Eum a token of gratitude. Whether he does or not will provide a hint as to how the relationship between Lee Yeon and Nam Ji Ah will unfold now that they have overcome the schemes of the monster Eodukshini (Shim So Young).

 

The scene in which Ah Eum hides Lee Yeon was filmed in September. Lee Dong Wook and Jo Bo Ah had already filmed several action scenes together by then, so they were already accustomed to having active scenes. Lee Dong Wook complimented her when Jo Bo Ah rehearsed the scene with powerful movements, and the atmosphere on set grew bright. Once the cameras started rolling, the two actors immersed into their characters so fully that they needed some time to calm down from the overwhelming emotions after the scene.

 

The production team shared, “Lee Dong Wook and Jo Bo Ah are leading the love story between a mountain spirit and a princess fantastically with their outstanding acting chemistry. Keep an eye out for how this scene where Ah Eum protects Lee Yeon with her sseugae chima returns to the two of them like a boomerang.”

 

“Tale of the Nine-Tailed” airs every Wednesday and Thursday at 10:30 p.m. KST.

In the upcoming episode of TVN’s Tale of the Nine-Taileda crucial scene between Lee Dong Wook and Jo Bo Ah will be aired. The drama series is a fantasy action romance drama that features Lee Dong Wook as the male gumiho Lee Yeon (a mythical nine-tailed fox).

 

Spoilers ahead. Lee Yeon is the guardian spirit of Baekdudaegan Mountain Range while Ah Eum (Jo Bo Ah) is an abandoned princess. They meet at Lee Yeon’s forest and fall in love with each other. Ah Eum is shocked when she discovers that her father, the King lets the Imoogi (a monster serpent) take over his body in order to save her. The Imoogi tells Ah Eum that he would return her father if she brings Lee Yeon to him. Ah Eum tries to sacrifice herself instead.

 

Sneak previews show Ah Eum using her sseugae chima (head shawl) to shield Lee Yeon who is being chased. He is barely able to stand and she rushes over to protect him as soon as she spots him. The pair share a brief romantic moment amid the dangerous situation.

 

Lee Yeon has previously said that a fox must always return the favour they receive and it may be that Lee Yeon will give Ah Eun a token of gratitude. Whether he does or not will provide a hint as to how the relationship between Lee Yeon and Nam Ji Ah will unfold now that they have overcome the schemes of the monster Eodukshini (Shim So Young).

 

The scene where Ah Eum shields Lee Yeon was filmed in September. Both Lee Dong Wook and Jo Bo Ah had already filmed some action scenes together by then so they were used to having active scenes.

“Tale Of The Nine-Tailed” Makes An Emotional Impact With A Recurring Line And Unforgettable Episode Endings

 

d064f1bbcd6b4b40899133eb05266169.jpeg?s=

 

tvN’s hit drama “Tale of the Nine-Tailed” has been putting dramatic and romantic spins on an impactful line!

 

“Tale of the Nine-Tailed” is a fantasy action romance drama that stars Lee Dong Wook as the male gumiho (a mythical nine-tailed fox) Lee Yeon and Jo Bo Ah as producer Nam Ji Ah, who’s trying to find her lost parents. Lee Yeon and Nam Ji Ah become entangled in a mysterious case involving Imoogi (Lee Tae Ri), a serpent beast in human form.

 

The drama left fans wanting more last week when episode 10 ended with an intense scene in which Imoogi made an offer to Lee Yeon: he’ll let everyone survive if Lee Yeon just gives him his body.

 

This was far from the first time that the show has featured such a memorable closing scene. In particular, there have been three episodes that ended on moments that served as important points in the story of Lee Yeon and Nam Ji Ah’s romance and left fans wanting more. All three of these endings featured a similar line but very different emotions. Relive them below!

Spoiler

1. A fall and tension: “I’ve been waiting for you.”

The show left a big first impression on viewers with its premiere, and that included the powerful ending to the episode. After Nam Ji Ah realized that Lee Yeon wasn’t human, she let herself drop off his balcony in an attempt to confirm his true identity, provoking him by taking with her a USB with footage that proved his supernatural powers. Lee Yeon saved her by catching her in the air.

While he was angry at the way Nam Ji Ah had tested him, she said to him, “I’ve been waiting for you.” She then injected him in the neck using a syringe, and viewers made sure to tune in to the next episode to see what happened next to this pair.

 

lee-dong-wook-jo-bo-ah-1.jpeg

2. The fox bead and heartache: “I’ve been waiting for you too.”

Lee Yeon thought that Nam Ji Ah might be the reincarnation of his first love Ah Eum, who died 600 years ago, as they both look the same and his hypnosis hadn’t worked on Nam Ji Ah. He used his powers on the island to kill the shaman and save Nam Ji Ah from becoming a human sacrifice, which led to him being punished by the underworld. When Lee Yeon sensed that Nam Ji Ah was in danger when she encountered Lee Rang (Kim Bum) at a funeral, he chose to attempt to escape the underworld by taking a deadly route. After he made it out, he saved Nam Ji Ah from the ghosts that were chasing her and then collapsed, bloody from his narrow escape.

Nam Ji Ah ran to Lee Yeon and held him in her arms, pleading in tears, “Please don’t die… Don’t die because of me.” This activated Lee Yeon’s fox bead, confirming that Nam Ji Ah is the reincarnation of Ah Eum. When Lee Yeon saw this, he said, “I… I’ve been waiting for you too” and gave a tearful smile.

 

lee-dong-wook-jo-bo-ah1.jpg

3. A reunion and romance: “I’ve been waiting for you.”

Lee Yeon and Nam Ji Ah were forced apart by a misunderstanding after Nam Ji Ah saw a glimpse of her past life, but they greatly missed each other. Nam Ji Ah then became caught in the trap set by the villainous Eodugsini, who was working with Imoogi, and she found herself in her parents’ car 21 years ago right before the crash. Stuck in the dream, she eventually managed to get out by following Lee Yeon’s advice. Lee Yeon was also suffering in his own nightmare, but he was able to eliminate the Eodugsini and deliver a warning to Imoogi.

When Lee Yeon returned to reality, he stood in the rain with his signature red umbrella, and Nam Ji Ah ran across the street to embrace him and say, “I’ve been waiting for you.” They then deepened the romance with a kiss in the rain.

The production team for the show stated, “The ‘Tale of the Nine-Tailed’ episode endings, which have featured very different emotions, have shown the process of Lee Yeon and Nam Ji Ah naturally connecting with each other.” They encouraged viewers to stay tuned to see whether their romance will be able to endure.

5 Things We’re Glad To See Happen In Episodes 9 & 10 Of “Tale Of The Nine-Tailed”

 

b05ac93856e347ad988ab68826e2935c.jpeg?s=

 

We start off this week’s episodes right where we left off, with our three leads — Lee Yeon (Lee Dong Wook), Lee Rang (Kim Bum), and Nam Ji Ah (Jo Bo Ah) — stuck in their respective nightmare-scapes. It prompts them all to do a little soul-searching and maturing, but thankfully they all make it out with new found determination and no worse for wear (for the most part). But that’s not the only thing we’re glad to see happen this week. There’s significant development for several of our characters, with more explosive events teased for down the road.

 

In the meantime, here are some of the things we’re glad to see in this week’s episodes:

 

Warning: Spoilers for episodes 9 and 10 ahead! 

Spoiler

Ji Ah consistently being such a worthy heroine

Ji Ah (and Ah Eum) has such wonderful qualities — tenacious, smart, spunky, brave, trusting — and it’s great to see the writers consistently allowing these qualities of hers to shine. Her mental strength is in full display when she’s trapped in the Spirit of Darkness’ (a.k.a the Nightmare Lady) nightmare-scape, because even when she’s showered with all the love and affection she’s been craving for all this time, she still manages to step away from it all and choose to return to reality. Sure, it takes a little reminding from Yeon (via a magical link), but seeing her so happy with her parents, it’s understandable why this “home” is so alluring to her. It’s heart-wrenching to see her walk out as her parents tearfully beg for her to stay, but we wouldn’t expect any less from her.

 

Tale-of-the-nine-tailed-Ji-Ah-gif-1.gif

Tale-of-the-nine-tailed-Ji-Ah-gif-2.gif

 

Ji Ah is also smart in letting her colleagues, Sae Rom (Jung Yi Seo) and Jae Hwan (Kim Kang Min), in on the supernatural happenings. In their past life, these two were the ones who watched over and took care of Ah Eum, so now Ji Ah is repaying their kindness by forewarning them and making sure they don’t unwittingly become collateral damage.

 

Tale-of-the-Nine-Tailed-colleagues-540x3

 

That aside, it’s also great to see a little more into the trio’s backstory. In fact, it was past-Jae Hwan who alerted Ah Eum to Yeon’s whereabouts. You can practically see little-Ah Eum’s ears perk up at this interesting little tidbit.

 

Tale-of-the-nine-tailed-young-Ah-Eum-gif

 

Ah Eum too is just as strong as Ji Ah. (Or the other way round. You get the idea). Yeon chooses to tell Ji Ah the whole story behind Ah Eum’s death and we see everything in clear detail. (Again, I love how the drama doesn’t drag these reveals out). After The Imoogi-possessed Ji Ah finds her way to Yeon, the two have an all out fight.

 

Tale-of-the-nine-tailed-Lee-Dong-Wook-Ji

 

However, just as a sword is about to be plunged into Yeon, Ah Eum regains control and stops it. She’s horrified to see all the dead bodies around her (The Imoogi took her body on a killing spree) and begs for Yeon to kill her, but Yeon is naturally unable to do so. Yeon offers The Imoogi his body in exchange for letting Ji Ah go, but Ji Ah won’t let him have his way.

 

Tale-of-the-Nine-Tailed-Jo-Bo-Ah.jpg

 

Instead, she asks Yeon to repay his debt, the one thing all foxes are bound to. (Prior to this, Ji Ah saved Yeon from some villagers while he was in a weakened state, and thus the “debt” was formed).

 

Tale-of-the-nine-tailed-Lee-Dong-Wook-Ji

 

And with that, Yeon loses all free will as his hand morphs into a claw and plunges itself into Ah Eum. It’s a nice detail to have Yeon kill with his claws instead of the sword, which further emphasizes how helpless and not-in-control of his body he is.

 

Tale-of-the-nine-tailed-Lee-Dong-Wook-Ji

Rang and Yeon (more or less) resolve their issues

Just like Ji Ah, Rang too is stuck in his own nightmare-scape. Even though Yeon chooses to come save Rang, the two are still greatly outnumbered by the mob of zombie-like spirits, and their bodies in the real world show mirroring wounds. They manage to escape the hoard, but not before Rang is bitten and poisoned. After going round and round yet unable to find a way out, Rang loses his strength and whines about giving up, which aggravates Yeon greatly.

 

Tale-of-the-Nine-Tailed-Lee-Dong-Wook-Ki

 

Ouch. 

Rang retorts that he doesn’t have anything to live for, heck even his own brother tried to kill him so many years ago. And that’s when Yeon yells for him to get his head on straight and figure out why he’s still alive. Rang finally realizes his brother never meant to kill him and this is enough for him to get up and continue moving.

 

Tale-of-the-Nine-Tailed-Lee-Dong-Wook.jp

Tale-of-the-nine-tailed-Lee-Dong-Wook-Ki

 

Eventually, they deduce that the way out is across a ravine, so Yeon has Rang jump across first while he fends off the hoard that had caught up. One of the spirits, sporting the face of Rang’s mother, follows Rang across and clutches on to him, dragging him downwards. Yeon sees Rang struggling, so he jumps across and grabs onto the spirit and falls into the ravine together. Next thing we know, Rang is awake in the real world.

 

Tale-of-the-nine-tailed-Kim-Bum-gif-1.gi

 

Again and again, we’ve seen Rang intending to cause harm to Yeon. But upon realizing that Yeon didn’t make it out of the nightmare-scape, Rang is actually anxious about his safety. Having finally resolved the centuries-long misunderstanding and accepting how he feels about his brother, Rang begins to reconsider his “partnership” with The Imoogi and The Butler (Uhm Hyo Sup). However, that’s when we learn that Rang is bound by a “debt” of his own. The Butler was the one who saved Rang all those years ago after he was attacked by Yeon and it appears to all be part of The Butler’s scheme to “own” Rang.

 

Tale-of-the-nine-tailed-rings-gif.gif

 

Wanting to find a way to break the debt-bond, Rang even takes a risk and goes to the Afterlife Immigration Office — where he sees wanted posters of himself — to ask Granny for a solution. Unfortunately, the only way to break the bond is by… death.

Shin Joo and Yoo Ri going all in

When Rang succumbs to the poison from the zombie bite (back in the real world), Yoo Ri (Kim Young Ji) tearfully drags Shin Joo (Hwang Hee) over to help Rang. And even though Rang was the one who brutally attacked him before, Shin Joo puts aside his feelings and treats him. This selfless act confuses Yoo Ri, to which Shin Joo replies it’s because he couldn’t bear to see her cry.

 

Tale-of-the-nine-tailed-Hwang-Hee-Kim-Yo

 

In many ways, Shin Joo and Yoo Ri are very similar. Both have wounded pasts and both found new lives after being shown kindness by the Lee brothers (and as such have become so fiercely loyal to them). These commonalities further bring these two together, but it’s Shin Joo’s checkered past that seals the deal for Yoo Ri. After learning of his tough side (Shin Joo was nicknamed “Crazy Fox”), Yoo Ri completely falls for him, so much so she propositions him on the spot.

 

Tale-of-the-nine-tailed-Hwang-Hee-Kim-Yo

Tale-of-the-nine-tailed-Hwang-Hee-Kim-Yo

 

The “Closed” sign did me in. LOL!

This couple really is so adorable together and it’s great to see a fun, lighter relationship that balances out the heavier Yeon-Ji Ah one. It’s also great to see the characters interacting more with each other, which gives us new dynamics to explore. And really, the cast all have such great chemistry, so all the scenes are entertaining to watch, regardless of who is paired up.

 

Tale-of-the-Nine-Tailed-Lee-Dong-Wook-Ki

 

I’ve seen Hwang Hee and Kim Young Ji in other roles before, but their respective portrayals of Shin Joo and Yoo Ri are the most fun to watch yet. Their characters could have been rather one-note — Shin Joo being an obedient lackey, Yoo Ri being all prickly and hotheaded — but Hwang Hee and Kim Young Ji add enough layers to make them relatable and delightful.

 

Tale-of-the-Nine-Tailed-Lee-Dong-Wook-Hw

 

Just look at how happy Shin Joo is to have Yeon’s seal of approval!

Yeon goes on the offense

Yeon is literally an all powerful (ex-)mountain spirit, so it would have been disappointing if he were easily tricked or outsmarted all the time. But more often than not, he’s the one who is two steps ahead. From the moment he figures out that The Imoogi is back in business, Yeon has been trying to lure him and his lackies out. The nightmare-scape provides such an opportunity to him, as he utilizes his “fall” and pretends to be trapped, all weak and powerless (but still looking sooooo good *cough*).

 

Tale-of-the-nine-tailed-Lee-Dong-Wook-gi

 

Seriously, this is like a music video! 

After Yeon keels over in the nightmare-scape, the Spirit of Darkness finally appears before him. With his last few breathes, he begs to know whether Ji Ah has made it out of her own nightmare-scape. After she confirms that Ji Ah has indeed made it out, Yeon gets up, brushes himself off, and becomes his old, very healthy, self again. He taunts the Spirit of Darkness for falling for his ruse (“Did you really think a lowly spirit could so easily make me fall?”), then he stretches his arm out past her shoulders and grabs onto The Imoogi (who’s linked to her in the real world). Yeon warns him that he’s coming for him, right before he finishes off the Spirit of Darkness.

 

Tale-of-the-nine-tailed-Lee-Dong-Wook-gi

Tale-of-the-nine-tailed-Lee-Tae-Ri-Lee-D

 

After making it out of the nightmare-scape, Yeon also correctly deduces that with Rang’s heart now swaying, The Imoogi and The Butler would want to meet with him, and thus puts Shin Joo on his tail again. Rang leads Shin Joo right to their house and this allows for Yeon to make a surprise visit. After being in the dark for most of the earlier episodes, Yeon is now on the offensive, and it’s so darn sexy!

The Imoogi ventures out into the world

With The Imoogi now being a full grown not-so-human being (played by Lee Tae Ri), it stands to reason that he’ll be making a move rather than staying cooped up in his manor. And he does. He wedges himself into Ji Ah’s production team as the new intern, and goes by the name… Terry. Heh! He even manages to win Ji Ah’s approval with his work ethic, and can we really blame her? After all, Terry looks like a harmless college kid with his boyish good looks and puppy crush. Lee Tae Ri does a great job shifting between his two personas. Just as you let your guard down around him, his expression changes and you’re reminded that he’s a literal snake.

 

Tale-of-the-nine-tailed-Lee-Tae-Ri-gif-1

 

It’s also exciting to see Yeon and Terry finally come face-to-face with each other as the two have a speed-brawl before they end up on a rooftop. Terry tells Yeon that he has control over everyone he cares about — his brother, his woman, even his woman’s parents. He’ll let them all live on one condition — Yeon has to give up his body.

 

Tale-of-the-nine-tailed-Lee-Tae-Ri-Lee-D

 

It’s been mentioned a few times that The Imoogi wants Yeon’s body. The reason behind his hatred for Yeon is because all that he had — his mountain spirit status and Ah Eum — were all supposed to be his. But Yeon is no longer a mountain spirit, and I doubt his body had anything to do with him being so in the first place, so why covet his body? Yes, it’s a good-looking body, but as far as reasons (for a centuries-long feud) go, this one seems odd. Hopefully, the show will give us more insight into this in the next episode and really flesh out The Imoogi’s reasonings and intentions, so we can have a truly formidable foe. Or… is The Imoogi also a pawn in someone else’s game? Mayhaps… The Butler?

Who do you think is more evil? The Imoogi or the Butler? And do you think Yeon made it rain just so he could reunite with Ji Ah under his favorite red umbrella?

*** LDW showed support for his friend Gong Yoo by sending a coffee and snack truck to the location of the show’s recording. Gong Yoo will be making a guest appearance on the variety show, “You Quiz on the Block”. Lee Dong Wook named the truck “Wook Café on the Block” and wrote on the bottom banner, “‘You Quiz,’ sorry… I wasn’t being serious,” with a crying emoticon. The actor is referring to a penalty he had to carry out after losing on “Amazing Saturday,” which was to mention “Amazing Saturday” in a scene in his drama “Tale of the Nine-Tailed.” In episode 5, his character asked Jo Bo Ah‘s character to choose between “You Quiz on the Block” and “Amazing Saturday,” and the two answered “Amazing Saturday” simultaneously. Lee Dong Wook added on the banner, “Big jagi (Yoo Jae Suk), baby jagi (Jo Se Ho)! Please take good care of our Kkebi (from the Korean word for goblin).” The banner on the left side of the truck reads, “Ki Heon… I’ve been waiting for you. Movie ‘Seo Bok,’ hit the jackpot!” Ki Heon is the name of Gong Yoo’s character in his upcoming film “Seobok” with Park Bo Gum. The banner to the right says, “Big jagi, baby jagi, Kkebi. From the gumiho (mythical nine-tailed fox) who loves you all.” Lee Dong Wook is currently starring in tvN’s “Tale of the Nine-Tailed” as the gumiho Lee Yeon. Best bromance ever! Lee Dongwook really loves to sent food truck for his past co-stars.  :blush:

Kim Bum Makes A Difficult Choice Involving Lee Dong Wook In “Tale Of The Nine-Tailed”

tvN’s “Tale of the Nine-Tailed” released new stills of Lee Dong Wook and Kim Bum ahead of the new episode!

 

“Tale of the Nine-Tailed” is a fantasy action romance drama that stars Lee Dong Wook as the male gumiho (a mythical nine-tailed fox) Lee Yeon, Jo Bo Ah as producer Nam Ji Ah, and Kim Bum as Lee Yeon’s brother Lee Rang. They find themselves tangled in a mysterious case involving Imoogi (Lee Tae Ri), a serpent beast in human form.

Spoilers

Spoiler

The previous episode revealed the hidden story of Lee Yeon, who was made to kill Ah Eum in order to keep the unwritten law of the gumiho, “A fox must repay his debt.” In addition, Lee Rang’s relationship to the broadcasting company’s president (Uhm Hyo Sup) was revealed. In the past, the president saved Lee Rang from Lee Yeon’s sword. When Lee Rang asked him why he had saved him, the president said forebodingly, “The reason isn’t important. Someday, you will repay your debt. That day will come.” As he spoke, a symbol of a contract appeared and disappeared between them, raising questions among viewers.

 

The new stills capture a critical moment between the two brothers. After meeting in secret, Lee Yeon and Lee Rang begin to argue, each regarding the other with glares of suspicion. Soon after, Lee Yeon is seen unconscious on the floor as Lee Rang kneels by him, eyes red with tears. He lets out a howl of something similar to spite, his hardened expression leading viewers to wonder if he will end up betraying his brother to keep his pact with the president.

While filming the scene in September, Lee Dong Wook and Kim Bum were said to have fully immersed themselves in their roles. When they were rehearsing the scene in which Lee Dong Wook’s character collapses, Kim Bum teared up, unable to contain his emotions. Lee Dong Wook ended up consoling him, and this emotional investment of the two actors brought the scene to completion.

 

The drama’s production team praised the two actors, saying, “Lee Dong Wook and Kim Bum created an even more immersive scene through their portrayal of the ambivalent emotions exchanged between the two gumiho brothers.” They also upped the anticipation for the new episode as they commented, “Watch the new episode to find out whether Lee Rang will comply with the contract that will only end with his death, or if he will create a plot twist by standing by Lee Yeon’s side.”

 

The next episode of “Tale of the Nine-Tailed” airs on November 11 at 10:30 p.m. KST.
