From Today On, I'm Human.
If you don't have time to read the whole thing, skip to the end where the conclusions are :)
No Tail to Tell introduces us to Eun-ho, a peculiar gumiho who enjoys the pleasures of the human world while deliberately avoiding good deeds to maintain her immortality. Eun-ho embraces her eternal youth, savoring life's delights without the burden of moral obligations.
Her carefree existence is disrupted by an unexpected incident involving Kang Si-yeol, a world-class soccer player known for his dazzling talent and overwhelming narcissism, which changes the course of her life. Following a fateful accident, Eun-ho is transformed into an ordinary person, forced to confront, for the first time, the complexities of human emotions and responsibilities.
The series presents a fresh and new plot, different from other stories about gumihos, since in this one our protagonist avoids becoming human at all costs. The series has comedic moments mixed with fantastical elements, and it has romance, which I feel was lacking but was still good. It also has tragedies. It was very fun to see Eun-ho using her powers, and how, when she became human, she did good deeds to become a gumiho again. For me, it felt light and fun, and it brought tears to my eyes. Although I agree with many that the ending could have been better, I would have liked her to decide to live with Si-yeol and grow old together, as it seemed selfish. Another point was, what happened to Si-yeol's grandmother? I read it in a comment and wondered, they should have shown her more, or else they shouldn't have included her at all. It felt like something was missing, like seeing her use her powers. Something was missing there, I feel, but even so, I had a lot of fun. The soccer scenes were also fun. Overall, I give the story an 8.5; it was good.
The drama didn't have a huge number of characters, but the ones it had were varied and entertaining. I liked the dynamic of the soccer team and how Si-yeol kept kicking them out. I liked that the shaman paid for what he did. Honestly, what Si-yeol's friend did was very wrong. He not only envied him but didn't even want to change his mind and wanted more time. That's not true friendship.
Here's my analysis of the main characters:
Eun-ho (Kim Hye-yoon): A nine-tailed fox (gumiho) from Mount Myohyang who has lived for centuries. After abandoning her desire to become human, she maintains a delicate balance between good and evil while accumulating wealth, until her orderly life is disrupted.
Her character was so funny; Hye-yoon is definitely one of my favorite actresses. She's beautiful, although sometimes she came across as very selfish. Even so, it was comical how she dealt with her powers and how she wanted to regain them. Although some say the gumiho role doesn't suit her, in my opinion it does, and above all, she makes the image of the gumiho look different from what everyone was used to.
Kang Si-yeol (Lomon): A world-class striker, known for his exceptional talent and obsessive discipline. Despite his fame and wealth, he leads a strictly regulated life centered around soccer, until his routine is interrupted by a chance encounter.
This is my first drama with Lomon, and I must say his acting was good. The only downside is that his character sometimes acted very selfishly, which annoyed me a little. Even so, seeing him with Eun-ho was sweet, and the soccer player image suits him perfectly.
Overall, I'd give his acting a 9.0. Another point I felt was missing something, as I read many comments about the chemistry between them. I didn't think it was bad, just that it lacked something, but I think they look cute together.
The OST has some great songs, and the sounds, like the intro, were fantastic. Some of my favorite songs are: "Once Last Chance," "Can't Be," "Fireworks," and "The Way You Make Me Happy." Overall, I give it an 8.5.
Would I watch it again? I would think so, it was easy to watch, light and fun, a very good rom-com, so I give it an 8.5/10.
In short, No Tail To Tell is a romantic comedy between a very popular mythological figure, the gumiho, and a human. It includes fantasy elements, dramatic moments that had me wondering how it would end, but with an ending that could have been better. The series also includes funny and chaotic moments between our protagonists and struggles against fate, which can sometimes be cruel, but with courage, determination, and above all, the power of love, they will always prevail. Overall, I give it a 9/10; they did a good job.
