Nine Tailed Fox (2004)

Bad, awful, horrible. Let those words lodge themselves inside your head if you have any notion of attempting to watch this drama.



Bad acting, bad script, bad characters, bad pace, bad action choreographer, bad stunt manager, bad execution of original premise, bad camera-work, bad costume design ... yeah, just really really bad in general.



This is like the worst gothic-vampire movie you've ever seen multiplied about thirty-fold and combined with action choreography that would make "Deathstalker and the Warriors from Hell" look like Woo-ping Yuen's latest action set-piece.



Even approached from a plot-progression and character-oriented standpoint, this is bad. Ok, that's a bit harsh. The concept itself is somewhat intriguing, with the idea of unavoidable fate and a Romeo/Juliet-esque romance going on. Too bad the acting is painfully bad. Given the poor performances in that arena, one expects other parts to hold up better -- thus my emphasis on the action and scenic bits; both of which only add to the net failure of this drama.

The storyline is quite interesting but it is told in a boring way. I could say the same about the characters: they are well performed, but they are so boring. The female main character is one of the most boring ones I can remember.

Honestly, I found this drama very disappointing. The first episode was pretty good and I was expecting a lot, but after that, it lost many of its interest. The best thing about it was its OST, which contains some nice tracks.

I have read better reviews about other Gumiho dramas so, even though I haven't watched them, I would recommend them instead of this one.

This is what happens when the writer force tragedy for the sake of tragedy. Once forced, everything lose its weight and become meaningless. The drama is just flashy and tacky, that's it. It is watchable if you're looking for some goofy action.
