What an amazing kdrama

I'm coming here after I just finished watching the final episode. Usually I'm not really a person who gives a lot of reviews but I just couldnt pass on this one, after how much I liked it.

First, I saw a few people who said that Tale of The Nine Tailed didnt deserve a season 2 and that other kdramas deserved it way more. Which I can understand (even if I dont agree with them), because for some people, the first season didnt have a big impact on them. Maybe, after looking back and after I watched the 2nd season, season 1 also paled a bit for me. But please believe me when I say that the 2nd season is better. I also liked the first one, no doubt, but the 2nd season was just the cherry on top for me. Just give it a chance and you will not regret it.

Second, you will see a lot of character development and bromance here. I loved every second of Lee Yeon's and Lee Rang's relationship. I loved Lee Yeon's relationship with the other mountain gods, Hong Joo and Moo Yeong.
The character development for each of the characters is so great to see, especially when you know that they went through a lot. If I go through each of them, my review will be so much longer and it may be boring for some people ahaha But just look forward to it and you will not be disappointed. My heart also ached for Moo Yeong but in the end, he had his place.
What I wished the most though, was for Lee Rang to have his happy ending in this season, since in the first one he was surrounded by pain. I wished the writers would have mercy on him (and us, the viewers) and wouldnt torture him anymore. And my wish finally came true. I'm not sure if this is a spoiler or not, but I was really happy and my heart swelled with happiness after seeing how Rang ended up in this season.

Third, the music was so on point. I loved the OSTs and the other bg music was really fitting for every scene it happened to be there. To be honest, I was listening to Kihyun's OST a few days in a row since it came out and I'll probably go and listen to it again once I'm done with this review ahaha

All in all, the season 2 was a great one and I loved it every second of it. I was impatienly waiting for every episoade and I'm still frustrated that it had only 12 eps and it wasnt a full length kdrama but it is what it is. I'm quite sad that it's the end, but it brought me great joy and happiness, especially since I'm a sucker for amazing bromance and this drama just kept feeding me this. I'll miss the nine tailed fox brothers and their bond and I really hope we will get a season 3 bcs there was still a thing which wasnt addressed, and that's why I took 0.50 points from the story. But I hope everyone will give this kdrama a chance because it's so good. I hope you will enjoy it just as much as I did.


Now, I will explain why I took 0.50 points from the story BUT THIS IS A SPOILER SO PLEASE DONT READ IT IF YOU DONT LIKE SPOILERS, ESPECIALLY SINCE IT'S ABOUT THE END!!!






I took 0.50 points from the story part (I was indecisive if to take 1 point or just 0.50 points) because I was curious about The First/Original Mountain God. They showed him in the last episode, at the end, when Lee Yeon and Shin Joo were about to go home, in their era. I would have liked to know why he just stood there. Bcs even Taluipa said that The Original Mountain God is too quiet and that he is planning something. And he saw when Lee Yeon and Shin Joo got there but didnt do anything to stop them to get back home, even if he needed the stone. It didnt sit right with me and it made me very confused. I would've liked to know more about him. But maybe we will have a season 3 and we will know more about it in the next season. At least I hope so bcs it would be a shame to not be like this, especially since I loved season 2 so much and this is the only minus thing that it has.
