No Tail to Tell: Kim Hye-yoon & Lomon Lead SBS’s New Fantasy Romance
SBS’s highly anticipated new Friday–Saturday drama No Tail to Tell is set to premiere on January 16 at 9:50 PM KST, and the excitement is already building. Just two days before its debut, the production released an unpredictable highlight video on January 14, teasing the intertwined fates of Eun-ho (Kim Hye-yoon), Kang Si-yeol (Lomon), and a host of other mysterious characters.
A Fantasy Romance Like No Other
At its core, No Tail to Tell is a whimsical yet poignant fantasy romance. It tells the story of an MZ-generation gumiho (nine-tailed fox) who refuses to become human and a self-absorbed superstar who only loves himself. Their chaotic entanglement unfolds in a world that blends reality and imagination, creating a fresh take on the gumiho mythos never seen before.
Fans are especially thrilled by the pairing of Kim Hye-yoon, the “rom-com fairy,” and Lomon, the rising star, whose chemistry promises to ignite screens and hearts alike.
The Highlight Video: A Glimpse Into Fate
The teaser begins with Eun-ho’s haunting declaration:
“I will never become human. I will never love a human. I won’t live miserably and die unhappily.”
Her sorrowful voice immediately draws viewers in, hinting at a tragic past and a destiny she refuses to accept. Yet, her unexpected appearance under the same blanket as Kang Si-yeol—the very human she once dismissed as “worse than a gumiho”—sparks curiosity about how their relationship will evolve.
Characters and Conflicts
- Eun-ho (Kim Hye-yoon): A quirky gumiho who rejects good deeds, romance, and humanity itself. To her, living in the human world is like playing a game with cheat codes—enjoying only the fun without the struggle.
- Kang Si-yeol (Lomon): A superstar soccer player obsessed with fame and himself. Fate binds him tightly to Eun-ho, despite their clashing worlds.
- Hyun Woo-seok (Jang Dong-joo): A tragic athlete expelled even from the fourth division league. His desperate plea sets off a chain of events that entangles Eun-ho and Si-yeol.
- Geum-ho (Lee Si-woo): A gumiho who lived with Eun-ho centuries ago, like an elder sister figure.
- Lee Yoon (Choi Seung-yoon): The privileged heir of the Geumsu Group, a VIP client of Eun-ho who believes money can buy anything.
- Jang Do-cheol (Kim Tae-woo): A mysterious shaman who arrives to hunt gumihos, adding danger and intrigue.
Destiny, Love, and Choices
When Eun-ho grants Woo-seok’s wish, she forces Si-yeol to pay the price, declaring ominously:
“I’ve changed both of your destinies.”
Si-yeol’s furious retort—“I can’t live like that. No, I won’t live like that!”—sets the stage for a battle of wills, destiny, and love.
The teaser closes with the line, “The moment of choice has finally come for the gumiho,” as Eun-ho and Si-yeol’s dynamic shifts into something more tender, hinting at romance. Will Eun-ho regain her lost powers and discover love for the first time, or will fate tear them apart?
