yeah she will be, Oh you didn't know they said she would really early on. Can't wait to see them again.

 

@backstreetboysfan  no, I didn't know. Now, as of this writing, the drama has ended and we have seen the finale where she's in. She played 'Nam Ji-ah', a producer of a television show about urban myth. I heard that she did not receive any payment for it including all of the flashback portions. Cho Bo-ah showed her love for the 'Tale of the Nine-Tailed' series. Actually, she appeared in so many scenes in the drama because her flashback was shown at least once every episode.

*** On June 11th, a video featuring Lee Dong Wook was uploaded on the YouTube channel “DdeunDdeun”. He together with  comedians Jo Se Ho and Nam Chang Hee appeared where Yoo Jae Suk was the host. This was Yoo Jae Suk YT channel. In the video, Yoo Jae Suk talked pridely that his daughter Na Eun did a “phone decoration” for him. On the back of Yoo Jae Suk’s cell phone, there were many cute stickers such as Kitty and My Melody. However, this was the same for the cell phone of Lee Dong Wook. He explained, “Our staff put (stickers) here after eating bread and snacks. I carry it as a raw phone without a case, so I guess it’s good to put stickers on.“ It’s so attractive that he has a completely different personality. It’s CUTE of him to carry the phone without taking stickers off“…

Lee Dong Wook Opens Up About His Struggles on Yoo Jae Suk’s YouTube Show ‘Pinggyego’

 

 

Lee Dong Wook once again guested on Yoo Jae Suk’s YouTube talk show “Pinggyego.”

 

When asked by Yoo Jae Suk where he gets his energy from, Lee Dong Wook replied, “I used to prefer being alone, but these days when I’m alone, I tend to overthink. I feel refreshed when I meet you guys here and have a chat. I feel good right now.”

However, Yoo Jae Suk joked that his expression didn’t match his words. To this, Lee Dong Wook confessed, “Honestly, I have a lot of worries these days. I seem to hit a slump every four to five years, and I think I’m going through that phase now. But I don’t know what’s causing it. I don’t think it’s because I’ve been working without rest. I felt more at ease when I would just immerse myself in a project without thinking too much.”

 

The actor reflected on how he dealt with such situations in the past. “I didn’t use to talk about this. I would just bottle it up and agonize over it. But I feel that talking about it and letting it out is really important,” he shared. Then emphasizing that he doesn’t expect to get answers from Yoo Jae Suk or anyone else by opening up about it, he added, “Actually, I don’t know the answer either. But I think it’s important to just express that I’m going through this situation and living with this feeling.”

 

In response, Yoo Jae Suk empathized with him, saying, “Putting your body to work is one of the most effective ways to distance oneself from such concerns.”

 

Echoing Yoo Jae Suk’s thoughts, Lee Dong Wook shared why he enjoys fishing. “I don’t think about anything else during the 7-8 hours I’m on the boat. The only goal is to catch fish,” he said. “I hope that (for viewers) watching ‘Pinggyego’ will bring a lot of laughter and help relieve your worries and concerns.”

“Tale of the Nine-Tailed,” which first aired in 2020, told the story of the male gumiho (mythical nine-tailed fox) Yi Yeon (played by Lee Dong Wook) in the present day. In the second season—the recent “Tale of the Nine-Tailed 1938,” which aired its finale this past weekend—Yi Yeon unexpectedly found himself back in 1938, where he embarked on an eventful adventure in his quest to return to the present.

 

At the very end of the final episode of “Tale of the Nine-Tailed 1938″after the credits and a “thank you” message to viewers, Yi Yeon could be heard saying, “So this is Joseon?” The drama then showed a brief animated scene of Yi Yeon running from two men chasing him in the Joseon era, suggesting that the drama had plans for a Season 3 set even further back in the past.

 

On June 13, tvN confirmed that they were discussing the possibility of a third season of the drama, but stated that nothing had yet been decided.

 

“We’re leaving all possibilities open, but at present, nothing has yet been set in stone,” said the network.

*** The inconsistent performance of "Tale of the Nine Tailed 1938" is not so surprising when one recalls that S1 back in 2020 was not an especially strong performer. Indeed, "Tale of the Nine Tailed 1938" had consistently better ratings. It opened with 6.463% on its way to 8.024%. While S1 began with only 5.804% ratings, closing with 5.785% ratings. That would receive any sequel series at all was a bit remarkable in light of these numbers. But the drama had the benefit of a strong fandom.   Lee Dong-wook's best talent is his ability to inhabit multiple genres at once and switching tones at short notice. In this regard, "Tale of the Nine Tailed 1938" was an even more elaborate use of his talents than the original series. His next confirmed project is "The Killer's Shopping Mall" for Disney+. A streaming platform may be the better place for Lee Dong-wook's particular charms.

The drama recently came to a close on June 11, achieving the highest viewership rating of its run for the finale. On June 13, “Tale of the Nine-Tailed 1938” dropped a new making-of video, showcasing the actors on set of the final filming session.

 

Although Lee Dong Wook and Kim So Yeon initially wrap up filming with smiles, Lee Dong Wook ends up bursting into tears. Similarly, Kim Bum also ends up crying and hugging the director after finishing his scene. The director jokes, “Please film [him crying] a lot.” Kim Bum even delivers handwritten letters to the staff and cast, and Woo Hyun Jin reciprocates with a letter of her own.

 

In the interview that follows, the cast reflects on their thoughts on finishing the show as well as their chemistry and favorite scenes.

 

Lee Dong Wook shares, “I have good memories of [filming] Season 1, so I was even more excited for Season 2 because I heard I would be working with the same actors and staff. I was excited, happy, and comfortable. I filmed enjoyably.” Regarding his chemistry with new cast members Kim So Yeon and Ryu Kyung Soo, Lee Dong Wook joked, “Our thousands of years of friendship didn’t betray us.”

 

Kim So Yeon comments, “While filming ‘Tale of the Nine-Tailed 1938,’ I really experienced that it was fun. It was so enjoyable from beginning to end,” adding that her most memorable scene was filming in the mountains with the other two mountain gods from episodes 9 and 10.

 

Kim Bum tears up as he thanks the cast and crew while sharing, “I was really really happy, and while working together, I was always in a good mood.” He also picks his most memorable scene to be when his character Yi Rang reunites with Lee Dong Wook’s character Yi Yeon.

 

Ryu Kyung Soo discusses how time flew by, mentioning that he had an enjoyable time and learned a lot while on set. For his most memorable moment, he brings up the scenes with the other mountain gods, adding, “It was warm and also playful, and I was really happy to work with those two.”

After highlighting each of the cast members, Lee Dong Wook wraps up by sharing, “I’m not sure if I will return as Yi Yeon once again or not, but this has been Yi Yeon until now. Thank you.”

*** Many K-Artists/Actors were at Bruno Mars' 2-day concert recently in Korea held from June 17 to June 18 and I heard that one of them was Lee Dong Wook. Bruno Mars collected the whole K-pop industry. So basically, if you wanted to see all of K-pop, all you had to do was go to a Bruno Mars concert.

*** Lee Dong Wook has only been caught up in a handful of dating rumors over his long career. In fact, he has only had one public relationship. He was confirmed to be dating Suzy in 2018. Sadly, it ended as quickly as it began. Four months later, the pair broke up because of “busy schedules.” It turns out there’s a reason why he hasn’t been spotted with anyone else romantically. His close friend, Kim Bum revealed why during his Cosmopolitan Korea interview. He revealed why it would be hard to date Lee Dong Wook in real life. Kim Bum revealed that Lee Dong Wook has so many schedules that he can’t even make time to see him—let alone make time for dating. For over many years, I noticed that Lee Dong Wook has maintained a consistent schedule of starring in at least one K-Drama a year. That’s not including all of the hosting jobs, brand deals, and advertisements he has on his plate.
