A nine-tailed fox Lee Yeon was a mountain god but relinquished his godly status so that his first love could reincarnate one day. Now, he is obligated to eradicate devils that threaten the world, including his con-artist brother Lee Rang. His actions intrigued a PD who is exploring the world of supernatural. She looks the same as Lee Yeon’s first love.

First and foremost, I want to express how surprised I was by the very effective horror, there are numerous moments when I genuinely felt creeped out. This show is a blend of the three genres combination, a romance, supernatural elements, and horror. For instance, in the very first scene is already foreshadowing an eerie direction. The visuals and CGIs are remarkable!

Ji Ah is a risk-taker, she's a reflection of a realistic career driven woman. She is knowledgeable about Korean folklore and adds a lot of depth to the show. I think her grit allows her to be more on equal footing with the immortals that are around her, which is hard to do, they often get sidelined because they're human. But my favorite character is Lee Yeon, he is the perfect balance of sass and arrogance and playfulness. Lee Dong Wook plays him so genuinely that it's hard to remember his previous roles, he disappears into this playful, arrogant fox.

Sadly, it quickly gets hollow and bonker! The script is consistently inconsistent, too many plot holes. When the romance is at stake, the scenes between the actions and romcom are giving a strange tone whiplash. The chemistry between the leads is somewhat one-sided. Then it is strangely ending, adding one more plot hole in the very final moment.
