Lee Dong Wook Is At Kim So Yeon’s Mercy In “Tale Of The Nine-Tailed 1938”

 
 

tvN’s “Tale of the Nine-Tailed 1938” has shared an intriguing sneak peek of its upcoming third episode!

 

“Tale of the Nine-Tailed 1938” is a sequel to the hit 2020 drama “Tale of the Nine-Tailed,” which told the story of the male gumiho (mythical nine-tailed fox) Yi Yeon (played by Lee Dong Wook) in the present day. However, in the new sequel, he unexpectedly finds himself back in 1938, and he embarks on an eventful adventure in his quest to return to the present.

Spoilers

Previously on “Tale of the Nine-Tailed 1938,” Yi Yeon was reunited with Ryu Hong Joo (Kim So Yeon) and Cheon Moo Young (Ryu Kyung Soo), with whom he had been inseparable during his childhood. While Ryu Hong Joo set her sights on winning Yi Yeon over, Cheon Moo Young—who turned out to be the mystery man in the red and white mask—appeared to have a personal vendetta against Yi Yeon for unknown reasons.

 

In newly released stills from the drama’s next episode, Ryu Hong Joo gets closer to a helpless Yi Yeon as the gumiho finds himself blindfolded and at her mercy. Despite Yi Yeon’s best attempts to remain calm, he is visibly taken aback when Ryu Hong Joo boldly puts her hands on him during his moment of vulnerability.

*** On May 12th, King Kong by Starship released behind-the-scenes photos of Lee Dong-wook at work on "Tale of the Nine Tailed 1938" in action scenes. This is very interesting since I'm curious in how these scenes were shot, and as expected, the stills show that he is making use of wiring and performing his own stunts. In other stills,  he can be seen handling a gun. According to his agency, he had consulted extensively with the martial arts team for the best possible performance to capture the hearts of viewers.   :heart2beat:

*** Lee Dong Wook and Kim Bum appeared on "The K-Star Next Door" and revealed, which K-Pop girl groups they were fans of. Lee Dong Wook likes Red Velvet‘s “Sunny Afternoon”. It's NICE to know that despite of their busy schedules, they also enjoy listening to a few girl groups in their spare time.   :rubchin:

*** During Lee Dong Wook's guest appearance at the YouTube talk show "The K-Star Next Door," alongside co-star Kim Bum, he revealed his preparations when he has upcoming kiss or shirtless abs scenes. Whether he stars in a crime, fantasy, or romance series, Lee Dong Wook has more than a few kiss scenes with his leading ladies. Due to this, he even owns the title "The Best Kiss Scene Actor." Lee Dong Wook revealed that for a romantic scene to turn out perfectly, it needs to be refreshing. He said, "For the kiss scene, what matters the most is being unique."  He further explained that rather than doing the normal moves that most actors would do during a kiss, he changes it up. He said that he would try poses he wouldn't normally try. Most importantly, he communicates with his partner to make sure his co-star feels comfortable and approves of the changes. Lee Dong Wook is in his early forties, but he maintains a good physique that he proudly shows off in his K-drama scenes. Lee Dong Wook revealed how challenging it is to stay fit despite his busy schedule. Kim Bum, confessed that Lee Dong Wook works out so much, and it mostly takes three hours for him to wrap up. Lee Dong Wook clarified that he no longer spends long hours in the gym. "Every time I star in a drama or movie, I go topless most of the time. It's not easy to get in shape fast. Then I might as well maintain a body that I can go shirtless at any time."   :Megalol:
