So far I'm getting the vibe of Gu Family Book and Along with the Gods with a twist of modern setting from the drama. Which is quite an interesting combination that sets the drama apart from a lot of past dramas involving gumiho or nine-tailed foxes.

Lee Dongwook as Lee Yeon gave us quite an interesting character that occassionally reminds us to Goblin's Grimreaper, which can be quite endearing to watch. Kim Bum as Lee Rang at first glance so far gave an impression that he'd be an interesting villain.

The drama so far do still give homage to many of Korean mythological creatures besides gumiho while also giving us a hint of mystery. It'll be interesting to see what the plot of Tale of the Nine-tailed will show us next.

I'm not a huge fan of dramas with fantasy elements in it, but I decided to give this drama a chance because of Kim Bum, whom I haven't seen in a drama in years. As I started off, I was actually quite into it, but a few episodes in, it started to drag for me. I couldn't bring myself to really even think of turning it on, which isn't a great sign. I think I just lost interest in the storyline, and hearing from a friend about how she didn't love how it ended, I'm not sure I can bring myself to spend 10+ more hours on it. For now, I'll be dropping it, but maybe if I have extra time, I'll think to pick it up again.

Each episode was like, pulling teeth to watch!

I originally started watching this drama because I really like Lee Dong Wok and I have watched a bunch of his dramas and generally I enjoy them. I also saw that they were going to make multiple seasons of the drama so I figured that it must be good to warrant it being renewed so much. Man this was not for me I don’t know what I hated the most. I didn’t feel the chemistry between either the lead characters and the show didn’t really give me a reason to be invested into this whole mystery that they’re trying to solve on this island. The only redeeming quality that I enjoyed was the villain of the show and I don’t know if that’s supposed to be the case I had to drop it.

In love with a real fox

Lee Dong Wook- YOU ARE A MASTER in this drama. Ugh you are killing it in the acting department. So emotionally connected, so sexy, so everything, I can't concentrate on anything else in this drama but you. I feel these younger actors need to learn from you. Ok, back to the drama, the CGI, costumes, action sequences, are great. Also Mr. Vet, you are hilarious and gorgeous and Mr. Fox #2, you are sinister and gorgeous too. I love the bromance between the foxes too, it's funny and scary at the same time. Ok, now I gotta find some mint chocolate chip ice cream ...

Vampire diaries style

I just started watching this and will try to keep updating the review. This is similarly stylized to the Vampire diaries. But it has its own design. Bringing in the various Korean mythology creatures.

The music is apt for the series. But am excited and interested in this cos this is a K drama and will be over in hopefully 16 to 20 episodes, unlike seasons and seasons to finish.

The acting is good the FL is similar role to the FL is Korean odeysey. Looks great some scenes are really scary holding apt to the genre.

The ML bro is similar to Damon having an air of supremacy.

This is what I have seen till now and will keep posting as we go on hope it continues the same cinematography and design.

I have seen the show till epi 3 and so far its been really enjoyable. Production is good, music is nice and story is interesting. Those fans who are looking for Goblin vibe, I would say that it is present as both are high quality productions and have mythical storylines. But at the same time, this drama is different. For example, mythical beings like foxes are shown realistically ( as in folklores) as non human, powerful dieties with low empathy. Gore and horror scenes are abundant. There are many mysteries present. His drama has more of horror movie feel.

Actors are really good and I am liking everyone so far....

Mysterious Romance

No bad I’ve just finished the first episode. I like these fantasy dramas because anything can happen. I saw a preview on Facebook and it raised my curiosity so here I am. That Lee Dong WookLee Yeon | [Mountain Spirit of Baekdudaegan] is totally a spunk so I want to watch him. I wonder if he’s on my list of actors that I like. He’s got that vibe.

It is a fascinating story of a thousand year love affairs between this fox and human, but then is she really a human. He has waited for her to reincarnated. White in the meantime he has been the reaper for wayward creatures.

So far I really like it but I have lots of questions about this relationship. Did he kill er in her previous life.

Nine Tail Fox is the handsome Lee Dong Wook.. kyaaa

Yesterday, i just started watch the first 2 episode.
Hmm... my first impression is remind me of the "Goblins" - (reincarnation)
Lee Dong Wook potrayed as the Nine Tail Fox who only can love once in a lifetime and in search for his first love who die 1000 years ago. He did meet up the human girl who look like his first love and he cant sense the fox bead inside her until he meet up with Nam Ji Ah. A human girl who resembled with his first love and he still cant sense the fox bead that he gave to his first love.

For those who like reincarnation, this series is a must to watch.

It is still a mystery how was the first love die and he willing to search for her again because he is Nine Tail Fox who only can love once in the life time and I will not missed each episode to reveal who is the human girl that she love and how she die and how the end is..

Amo esse tipo de enredo que mistura a fantasia com o mundo real. Essa série é perfeita, prende a atenção do começo ao fim. Como não amar a raposa de nove caudas? Esse veradeiro apaixonado que faz de tudo para reencontrar e ter seu amor... E a protagonista? Esperta, sabe se cuidar sozinha e tem personalidade forte, o que nos faz gostar logo de cara. Esses dois talentosos atores como protagonistas, ainda são cercados por coadjuvantes de peso e com papéis interessantes e carismáticos. A história tem ritmo, se desenrola bem e um final perfeito.

Une déception imprévisible

Je ne sais pas. Si le drama est mauvais. Ou si "Joy of Life" a influencé mes sentiments
(inexistants) durant le visionnage du drama.
Je l'attendais. Depuis le trailer qui m'avait donné l'eau à la bouche. Je trépignais d'impatience comme une enfant devant ses cadeaux de Noël. Nous nous étions promis de le regarder sans les enfants et d'une traite. Et puis. Rien. Pas un sourire. Pas une larme. Voire même un soupçon d'intérêt. 16 épisodes que nous avons fini en 2 semaines (au lieu de 2 jours comme nous l'avions prévu...).
Alors, oui, nous venions de finir "Joy of Life". Oui, nous avions découvert la perfection, l'ultime (mais cela est une autre histoire, écrit dans un autre avis) mais cela devait-il tout expliquer?
L'ennui devant la romance (trop de romance finit par tuer la romance) : les personnages principaux qui se cherchent un peu, se niaisent un peu, finissent par s'aimer, et puis, j'avoue, le passage que je trouve pénible, surtout si cela doit durer sur plusieurs
épisodes : les pleurs, les flashbacks à rallonge et inutile...bref, lorsqu'il y a trop de romance, trop de je t'aime moi non plus, de "ne me quitte pas" sur 20 minutes à chaque épisode, je fini par bâiller.
L'ennui devant les relations que cela soit les personnages principaux ou secondaires ; Zéro alchimie en ce qui me concerne. J'ai eu un début d'intérêt face aux 2 frères et puis au final, non. Trop classique, trop prévisible. Pas assez fort émotionnellement. Aucun des personnages secondaires n'étaient intéressants à mon sens.
Je n'ai pas réussi à accrocher ne serait-ce qu'un peu aux divers tourments des personnages : amoureux. Familial. Amical. Rien.
Et enfin, les vilains. Rien de transcendants. Rien d'effrayants. Moi qui adore la légende de Gumiho, qui aime avoir peur (du moins un peu), qui aime le suspense, j'ai été très déçue...
Le drama n'est pas mauvais en soi. Du moins je le crois. Le jeu des acteurs non plus. Mais, rien n'a été assez fort pour me tenir éveillé.
J'avais adoré "Gu Family Book" et "Korean Odyssey", et je m'attendais vraiment à adorer celui là aussi.
Je pense que ce drama peut plaire à un large public. Car je le répète, le drama n'est pas vraiment mauvais. Je suis surement devenue plus exigeante avec l'âge. Et avec ce que j'ai pu déjà voir ou lire.

j' ai trouvé que " tale of the nine tailed " est un très bon drama .
je sais que je ne suis pas très objective car , en rôle principal : Lee Dong Wook mon chouchou ! Mais , sans parler de lui , l'histoire est intéressante , le jeu d'acteur, super etc ... ?
Je trouve touchante l'histoire des deux frères , et Kim Bum( Lee Rang ) a très bien joué le frère ou au début , tout le monde se dit qu'il est un peu dérangé . mais au fil du drama , on se rend compte que non , pas du tout .
Jo Bo Ha( nam ji ha ) a bien joué aussi car , on voit toutes ses émotions passer sur son visage sans qu'elle ait besoin de parler , et ça , c'est compliqué donc bravo !
Lee Tae Ri , alors la , rien a dire de négatif . Il joue très très bien et donne la chaire de poule .Il est parfait dans son rôle .

La seule petite critique négative est que je trouve par contre la fin un peu dommage . On nous laisse dans un doute qui n'est pas nécessaire a mon avis .

Drama dans la lignée des "Goblin", qui deviendra sans aucun doute culte.

Excellent!

Ne manquez pas ce drame, un mélange parfait de fantastique, de romance, de suspense, joué par de grands acteurs aussi beaux que talentueux.
La storyline est parfois un peu confuse et on se perd dans les flashback - différents mondes - multitude de dieux et de personnages.
MAIS :
- le CL est touchant, parfaitement incarné par Jo Bo Ah et Lee Dong Wook, et on prie les dieux tout au long de la série, pour qu'il y ait une happy-end à leur histoire.
- le frère, incarné par Kim Bum, est un personnage complexe, torturé et particulièrement intéressant.
- Les personnages secondaires (dieux et humains) sont bien détaillés, riches et complexes.
- Les effets spéciaux sont de grande qualité.

La musique OST) n'est pas mémorable, mais souligne bien l'atmosphère de la série.

Bref, un drame dans la lignée des "Goblin", qui deviendra sans aucun doute culte. A voir et revoir.
