Tale of the Nine Tailed

This is one of those shows where the secondary characters shine so much you forget about the story of the main leads. This drama has a nice backstory and although it's quite typical and it has been repeated a lot in other dramas and movies, keeps you interested. I loved the funny moments and the most appealing thing for me was the story and relationship of the two brothers as well as the backstories of all the supporting cast, moving, deep and painful but very beautiful. Also, what an amazing, refreshing and shocking twist at the end! Didn't expect it and I loved it!!! Well done to the writers!

These episodes offered the best among others. You'll be surprised how the story being twisted and really ended. Prepare your tissues as the story will tear your apart between sadness and happiness.. Yet, this is the most satisfying korean drama ending ever seen for me.. Good job!

I was not a lee dong wook fan at all. No reason for it. Just didnt like his vibe. Randomly started this show. And damn was it captivating from the first episode. Like wow. From the oldest actor to the you youngest. All of them did an amazing job. Became a lee dong wook fan after this show. His role and character was something to drool over tbh. Anyhow.

Cinematography: 8/10 Would have preferred more graphics and animation for a fantasy show. Like transition from human to nine tailed fox graphics etc.

Musical scores: 10/10 Best i have seen in any kdrama so far! Just amazing. Mesmerizing. Beautiful. Sad everything. The scores were unbelievably good. Like more than the actor i am fangirling over this shows OSTs. Lol.

Acting: 8/10 Felt some character gaps in lee dong wook character when he is supposed to be acting all goofy and cute. Like it didnt feel real. Like it felt like he was acting. Usually in other scenes he was so engrossed in the character it felt like he is his character. This lacked kindof. Boah's acting was good too. Like it was average. Lee rang ( kim beum) emotional range was limited because of the character but somehow his acting seemed like it had more depth than main actor. Dont know why. (Not because i had the second lead syndrome. This drama gave me a very strong first lead syndrome lol. Nothing could overcome LDW role in the show:D ) Side characters acting was also good.

Main lead chemistry : 8/10 (could have been more from female actress side.

Storyline/ Plot: 7/10 there were obvious plot holes like big ones. So thats why the rating is an 8. Else it would be 9. The last episode twist and turns seemed an overkill thats why it never became a 10 star for me.

Script: 8/10 good dialogues , witty and on spot. Suited the characters arc.

Character development:10/10 All good if we exclude acting and plot gaps from role development of actors here.

Overall: 8 BUT still it is a MUST MUST WATCH.

This is my first time writing a review, I had to write this because it's been a really long time since I last watched such a beautiful drama! Only 6 episodes so far, but it's getting better and better, and a lot of secrets are yet to be revealed. Lee Dong-wook has really nailed the role, he's just the perfect actor for Yeon's character. All the actors have played their roles very well to he honest. I never for a second got bored or thought that it's going slowly, I'm enjoying all of it. It's already one of my top 5 favorite kdramas. It's very sad, yet heartwarming... it will make you smile, laugh and cry. I only hope that it won't have a sad ending, because I really can't get over sad endings.

I cannot be happier for my buddy Lee Dong-Wook for this part. I watched him in Touch Your Heart but the part really did not suit him at all. This series, finally, made my wishes come true and showed me what I wanted to see. You can even see his personality shine through his character. I enjoyed every bit of this series and the finale was so emotional with an amazing ending scene that will excite, thrill and confuse you. This series ticked everything I wanted to see from romance, comedy to melodrama. Congrats to Lee Dong-Wook.
