While we wait for the release of the fantasy K-drama, tvN has unveiled episode 1 preview for Tale of the Nine-Tailed 1938 which takes the viewers into the world of deities, monsters, and diverse characters from Korean folklore. 

In the preview, Lee Yeon(Lee Dong Wook) tells shaman Taluipa (Kim Jung Nan), "I'll do whatever grandmother tells me to do". And that leads him to the year 1938, where he has to find the guardian stone and return before time runs out. In the era, Lee Yeon encounters numerous enemies who will leave no stone unturned to take him down. He also reunites with his former friends Ryu Hong Joo (Kim So Yeon) and Cheon Moo Young (Ryu Kyung Soo), who treat him like a child, saying, "You are still adorable." 

While he is on his quest, Lee Yeon's plans go awry when his younger brother Lee Rang (Kim Bum) is attacked by a man in a red and white mask. To save him, Lee Yeon seeks out a mysterious man who proposes a deal, saying the gumiho must bring back an item that can be exchanged for his brother's life. Unfortunately, the item is in the hands of depressed Lee Yeon of 1938, who has come apart at the seams by longing for his love Ah Reum. 

Thus, a battle between Lee Yeon and his past self begins, giving way to fiery conflicts and unexpected twists. If this wasn't enough, additional troubles further weigh down the gumiho when a voice warns him, "You will forever be trapped in the past and watch everything you hold dear perish".
