Move over, traditional folklore—the gumiho is getting a Gen Z makeover! SBS has officially sent fans into a frenzy with the release of the stunning main poster for “No Tail to Tell,” a fresh fantasy romance that promises to flip the script on one of Korea’s most beloved myths.
Forget the tragic foxes of the past who longed to be human. This time, we’re meeting a heroine who is perfectly happy exactly as she is, alongside a world-class athlete who might just be her biggest match yet.
Meet Eun Ho: The Gen Z Gumiho Who Loves Her Tails
The incredible Kim Hye Yoon—fresh off her “Lovely Runner” success—is set to define a new era of supernatural icons. She stars as Eun Ho, a quirky, modern-day gumiho who has zero interest in the “humanity” everyone else seems to crave.
Content to live a peaceful life handling legal matters and enjoying her magical perks, Eun Ho’s world is turned upside down by a sudden, world-shaking event. The newly unveiled poster showcases her ethereal beauty, looking as though she stepped right out of a classic East Asian painting. With several flowing tails fluttering behind her and a glowing, mysterious orb in her palm, she radiates a mix of ancient power and modern sass.
The poster’s tagline says it all: “With this look and this charm, it’s only natural that you’d fall for me. As you know, I’m a gumiho.”
Lomon: From Top Striker to Rom-Com King
Opposite her is Lomon, taking on his most charming role yet as Kang Si Yeol. Si Yeol is a world-class soccer player and a superstar striker for a famous overseas club. He’s lived a life of peak confidence and perfection—until he becomes unexpectedly entangled with Eun Ho.
Watching a global sports icon deal with a magical fox who couldn’t care less about his fame is the chaotic, heart-fluttering energy we’ve all been waiting for.
A Chaotic Quest for Survival
“No Tail to Tell” isn’t just about sparkling chemistry; it’s a high-stakes fantasy journey. As these two polar opposites collide, they find themselves in a race to save one another from looming threats.
Between Eun Ho’s “East Asian painting” aesthetic and the high-octane world of professional sports, the drama blends traditional fantasy elements with a fast-paced, modern-day rom-com vibe that feels entirely new.
