Tale of the Nine-Tailed (2020)

Vampire diaries style

I just started watching this and will try to keep updating the review. This is similarly stylized to the Vampire diaries. But it has its own design. Bringing in the various Korean mythology creatures.

The music is apt for the series. But am excited and interested in this cos this is a K drama and will be over in hopefully 16 to 20 episodes, unlike seasons and seasons to finish.

The acting is good the FL is similar role to the FL is Korean odeysey. Looks great some scenes are really scary holding apt to the genre.

The ML bro is similar to Damon having an air of supremacy.

This is what I have seen till now and will keep posting as we go on hope it continues the same cinematography and design.

I have seen the show till epi 3 and so far its been really enjoyable. Production is good, music is nice and story is interesting. Those fans who are looking for Goblin vibe, I would say that it is present as both are high quality productions and have mythical storylines. But at the same time, this drama is different. For example, mythical beings like foxes are shown realistically ( as in folklores) as non human, powerful dieties with low empathy. Gore and horror scenes are abundant. There are many mysteries present. His drama has more of horror movie feel.

Actors are really good and I am liking everyone so far....

Love it

I already love this drama. It melds the perfect balance of eeriness, mystery, and humor. And, oh, my Lee Dong Wook, he’s breathtakingly good looking in this jarringly well-done drama. Be it real or not, the little girl was impressive; the way she handled those imposters, I doubt I would’ve had her courage. The fight scenes are so well choreographed it’s beautiful to watch. The sword scene reminded me of Pop up Mystic Bar.

I like Jo Bo Ah as Ji Ah (I bet she’s the resurrected one); she has grit, and to top it off, she is smart. I’m also glad to see Hwang Hee again after Doctor John. I enjoy him a lot. What can I say about Kim Bum; he'ss so handsome and mischievous. He seems to be holding a grudge of some kind, and I cannot wait to find out everybody's story and what connects them. Everything about this drama is fun; I laughed out loud at the afterlife and undocumented spirit signage. But the best part is that the dialogue and acting are top-notch. I am hooked.

Mysterious Romance

No bad I’ve just finished the first episode. I like these fantasy dramas because anything can happen. I saw a preview on Facebook and it raised my curiosity so here I am. That Lee Dong WookLee Yeon | [Mountain Spirit of Baekdudaegan] is totally a spunk so I want to watch him. I wonder if he’s on my list of actors that I like. He’s got that vibe.

It is a fascinating story of a thousand year love affairs between this fox and human, but then is she really a human. He has waited for her to reincarnated. White in the meantime he has been the reaper for wayward creatures.

So far I really like it but I have lots of questions about this relationship. Did he kill er in her previous life.

I gave Tale of the Nine-Tailed a 10 star review for episode one and I still think it deserves 10 stars now that I finished it.
I loved this show. The story, music, CGI, and cast were all great my opinion. I loved the couples and the chemistry they had but I also loved the chemistry among the rest of the cast. The brothers had some of the best interactions. I also loved the interactions between Ji Ah and her coworkers.
I know there are some people who were upset with the ending, but I think it was very fitting. If you do some research on lore, it will be easier to understand.
I will say this show is fairly predictable but many shows are. Even though it was predictable, it was so good and I looked forward to the new episodes every week. Also... Even though I had a good idea of what could happen, I still cried like a baby at parts.
Overall I think it’s a well thought out drama with a lot of excitement. It’s one I’d definitely watch again because I feel like there would be moments I could understand better the second time and I feel like I’d see more than I did the first time.
I highly highly recommend this drama!!

——————————————————————

I just finished the first episode and it was so worth the wait!
There was great CGI, amazing action scenes, just the right amount of suspense and humor, and the chemistry among the cast is fantastic.
I'm a big fan of Nam Ji Ah already. I think the little girl that played her did amazing! As for the character, I love that she's witty and strong. It's nice to see such a strong and smart female role. Jo Bo Ah is a perfect Ji Ah. I love how mischievous Lee Rang is! That's what you get from him right away and Kim Bum does a great job portraying that. Now... Lee Yeon... He's the whole package. He makes it seem like he has it all together but you can tell that may not fully be the case. I am slightly biased because I love Lee Dong Wook but his acting is just so good and so believable!
The acting truly is top notch from all of the actors!
I can't wait to see what's next! I think this will be my new favorite show!

Nine Tail Fox is the handsome Lee Dong Wook.. kyaaa

Yesterday, i just started watch the first 2 episode.
Hmm... my first impression is remind me of the "Goblins" - (reincarnation)
Lee Dong Wook potrayed as the Nine Tail Fox who only can love once in a lifetime and in search for his first love who die 1000 years ago. He did meet up the human girl who look like his first love and he cant sense the fox bead inside her until he meet up with Nam Ji Ah. A human girl who resembled with his first love and he still cant sense the fox bead that he gave to his first love.

For those who like reincarnation, this series is a must to watch.

It is still a mystery how was the first love die and he willing to search for her again because he is Nine Tail Fox who only can love once in the life time and I will not missed each episode to reveal who is the human girl that she love and how she die and how the end is..

Amo esse tipo de enredo que mistura a fantasia com o mundo real. Essa série é perfeita, prende a atenção do começo ao fim. Como não amar a raposa de nove caudas? Esse veradeiro apaixonado que faz de tudo para reencontrar e ter seu amor... E a protagonista? Esperta, sabe se cuidar sozinha e tem personalidade forte, o que nos faz gostar logo de cara. Esses dois talentosos atores como protagonistas, ainda são cercados por coadjuvantes de peso e com papéis interessantes e carismáticos. A história tem ritmo, se desenrola bem e um final perfeito.

Une déception imprévisible

Je ne sais pas. Si le drama est mauvais. Ou si "Joy of Life" a influencé mes sentiments
(inexistants) durant le visionnage du drama.
Je l'attendais. Depuis le trailer qui m'avait donné l'eau à la bouche. Je trépignais d'impatience comme une enfant devant ses cadeaux de Noël. Nous nous étions promis de le regarder sans les enfants et d'une traite. Et puis. Rien. Pas un sourire. Pas une larme. Voire même un soupçon d'intérêt. 16 épisodes que nous avons fini en 2 semaines (au lieu de 2 jours comme nous l'avions prévu...).
Alors, oui, nous venions de finir "Joy of Life". Oui, nous avions découvert la perfection, l'ultime (mais cela est une autre histoire, écrit dans un autre avis) mais cela devait-il tout expliquer?
L'ennui devant la romance (trop de romance finit par tuer la romance) : les personnages principaux qui se cherchent un peu, se niaisent un peu, finissent par s'aimer, et puis, j'avoue, le passage que je trouve pénible, surtout si cela doit durer sur plusieurs
épisodes : les pleurs, les flashbacks à rallonge et inutile...bref, lorsqu'il y a trop de romance, trop de je t'aime moi non plus, de "ne me quitte pas" sur 20 minutes à chaque épisode, je fini par bâiller.
L'ennui devant les relations que cela soit les personnages principaux ou secondaires ; Zéro alchimie en ce qui me concerne. J'ai eu un début d'intérêt face aux 2 frères et puis au final, non. Trop classique, trop prévisible. Pas assez fort émotionnellement. Aucun des personnages secondaires n'étaient intéressants à mon sens.
Je n'ai pas réussi à accrocher ne serait-ce qu'un peu aux divers tourments des personnages : amoureux. Familial. Amical. Rien.
Et enfin, les vilains. Rien de transcendants. Rien d'effrayants. Moi qui adore la légende de Gumiho, qui aime avoir peur (du moins un peu), qui aime le suspense, j'ai été très déçue...
Le drama n'est pas mauvais en soi. Du moins je le crois. Le jeu des acteurs non plus. Mais, rien n'a été assez fort pour me tenir éveillé.
J'avais adoré "Gu Family Book" et "Korean Odyssey", et je m'attendais vraiment à adorer celui là aussi.
Je pense que ce drama peut plaire à un large public. Car je le répète, le drama n'est pas vraiment mauvais. Je suis surement devenue plus exigeante avec l'âge. Et avec ce que j'ai pu déjà voir ou lire.

j' ai trouvé que " tale of the nine tailed " est un très bon drama .
je sais que je ne suis pas très objective car , en rôle principal : Lee Dong Wook mon chouchou ! Mais , sans parler de lui , l'histoire est intéressante , le jeu d'acteur, super etc ... ?
Je trouve touchante l'histoire des deux frères , et Kim Bum( Lee Rang ) a très bien joué le frère ou au début , tout le monde se dit qu'il est un peu dérangé . mais au fil du drama , on se rend compte que non , pas du tout .
Jo Bo Ha( nam ji ha ) a bien joué aussi car , on voit toutes ses émotions passer sur son visage sans qu'elle ait besoin de parler , et ça , c'est compliqué donc bravo !
Lee Tae Ri , alors la , rien a dire de négatif . Il joue très très bien et donne la chaire de poule .Il est parfait dans son rôle .

La seule petite critique négative est que je trouve par contre la fin un peu dommage . On nous laisse dans un doute qui n'est pas nécessaire a mon avis .

Drama dans la lignée des "Goblin", qui deviendra sans aucun doute culte.

Excellent!

Ne manquez pas ce drame, un mélange parfait de fantastique, de romance, de suspense, joué par de grands acteurs aussi beaux que talentueux.
La storyline est parfois un peu confuse et on se perd dans les flashback - différents mondes - multitude de dieux et de personnages.
MAIS :
- le CL est touchant, parfaitement incarné par Jo Bo Ah et Lee Dong Wook, et on prie les dieux tout au long de la série, pour qu'il y ait une happy-end à leur histoire.
- le frère, incarné par Kim Bum, est un personnage complexe, torturé et particulièrement intéressant.
- Les personnages secondaires (dieux et humains) sont bien détaillés, riches et complexes.
- Les effets spéciaux sont de grande qualité.

La musique OST) n'est pas mémorable, mais souligne bien l'atmosphère de la série.

Bref, un drame dans la lignée des "Goblin", qui deviendra sans aucun doute culte. A voir et revoir.

Um drama que conseguiu me deixar interessada do inicio ao fim e sem vontade de avançar os episódios o que é raríssimo de acontecer . Demorei bastante para ver esse drama , pois o enredo é bem batido , então eu pensava que seria chato e cansativo porém contudo toda via estava completamente errada.

Apesar do enredo já ter sido explorado em outros dramas , ele foi usado muito bem aqui de forma formidável, a história realmente te prende e a cada episódio você tem uma surpresa nova que te faz querer ver logo o próximo, tudo feito num ritmo bem legal pois em momento nenhum fiquei desinteressada.

Os personagens ao meu ver foram bem trabalhados, você se apaga na historia de cada um , todos eles contribuíram para o progresso da história e gente eu amava ver todos eles em tela.

Os protagonistas arrasaram, realmente atuaram muito bem . O protagonista masculino era uma charme , aquele jeitão dele era muito fofo me rendeu boas risadas e também conseguiu me emocionar várias vezes.

A protagonista feminina era de se admirar também, inteligente, alegre determinada, independente seguia seu coração e defendia suas ideias com convicção. Adoro protagonistas assim. Aquelas que fazem o tipo donzelinha cheia de não me toques realmente me deixa um pouco estressada.

O romance entre o casal principal foi muito lindo de se ver , gente deu vontade de colocar eles num potinho e guardar de tão fofo. Algo que me chamou atenção foi que eles tiveram vários momentos felizes ao longo do drama não foi apenas no final como na maioria dos dramas, eles tiveram vários momentos juntos, sempre enfrentando todos os problemas que apareciam que não eram poucos juntos, gostaria de ver mais disso nos dramas.

Outra parte que gostei muito foi a inserção histórica, como eles abordaram o folclore ao logo de todo drama, foi bem interessante aprender um pouquinho sobre esse assunto.

Em fim recomendo é um drama bem agradável para assistir .

Da vedere! Assolutamente!

Secondo drama misto fantasy/mistery che ho visto, dopo Hotel del Luna, spettacolare! La storia che si srotolava di puntata in puntata era imprevedibile. Per questo mi ha tenuta incollata, malgrado i video di circa un'ora l'uno, attaccata al monitor!
Gli attori sono stati tutti ben dentro alla parte, molto credibili, recitazione da 10++. Buona l'alchimia fra i due protagonisti, ma mi è piaciuta di più quella fra i due fratelli volpe. Questo drama mi ha fatto entrare nella mitologia coreana, ho dovuto quindi fare qualche ricerca per capire cosa fosse un gomiho o un imugi, cosa fosse il Samdocheon ecc ecc. La caratterizzazione non è stata proprio fedele al cento per cento alla tradizione mitologica, ma ne è valsa la pena.
La fotografia limpida, nitida, è veramente gradevole. Le musiche quasi non le ho ascoltate tanto ero dentro alla storia, ho dovuto quindi cercare le ost per apprezzarle. Molto belle davvero.
Un apprezzamento particolare va fatto a Lee Dong Wook per l'eleganza che lo caratterizza. Un uomo di 38 anni ai tempi del drama che ne dimostra almeno dieci in meno, ha un portamento non comune. Molto particolare la sua mimica facciale, non è bellissimo, ma lo diventa man mano che lo si guarda.
un Bravo anche a Kim Bum, ha impersonato benissimo la parte della persona ferita dentro, una persona che vive all'interno della propria tristezza causata dall'abbandono e che reagisce con una finta noncuranza e insofferenza.
Il finale è stato col botto! Proprio non me lo aspettavo! wow!
Ma tutti sono stati bravi, bravissimi! Guarderò ora 1938!
Grazie come sempre ai sottotitolatori, senza di loro saremmo persi!
