The upcoming fantasy K-drama Tale of the Nine-Tailed 1938 got its character posters revealed.

In the first poster, Lee Dong Wook is seen carrying a Winchester rifle aiming at his target. His poster says, "Perplexed? I understand. Because, right now, that's exactly how I feel too". Judging by the poster, it seems that Lee Yeon (Lee Dong Wook) has encountered past enemies who plan on taking him down at all costs.

Ryu Hong Joo (Kim So Yeon) - "Mountain Goddess of the West" - wears a white elegant dress, a floppy hat, and a lovely smile in her character poster. What's really eye-catching is that she is holding a shining ring, and the poster says, "You are here, Honey?". Hong Joo is the guardian spirit of a mountain in the west, who has a crush on Lee Yeon. She also owns a high-end restaurant in Gyeongseong (the old name for Seoul). One of the exciting factors about the upcoming series is her dynamics with the gumiho.

The next poster shows Kim Bum holding an axe with a mischievous look in his eyes and a sneaky smile that portrays his troublesome character. His poster says, "Hyung (Brother), you aren’t dead yet?". Season 1 showed that Lee Rang (Kim Bum) shares a bitter relationship with his brother Lee Yeon and often causes trouble that puts Lee Yeon in a difficult situation. Let's see how the relationship of the duo unfolds in season 2.

The last poster is of Ryu Kyung Soo, who plays the character of Cheon Moo Young (the "Mountain God of the North"). He has a white mask in his hand, and he sits in a dark room where light touches only half of his face. On his character poster, it says, "I will take revenge until he loses everything he holds dear". Moo Young used to be on good terms with Lee Yeon, but circumstances led him to become hostile toward the gumiho.
