What is Tale of the Nine-Tailed about?

Once a mountain deity, a nine-tailed fox now works modern Seoul as a bounty hunter of rogue spirits, waiting out the centuries for the reincarnation of the woman he gave up his godhood to save. A documentary producer who has chased supernatural rumours since childhood finally corners him, and she happens to wear that lost woman’s face — dragging both of them back toward a curse neither has finished paying for, and toward the half-brother he abandoned.

Critics consensus: Korean folklore rendered as slick urban fantasy, coasting happily on Lee Dong-wook’s charisma while Kim Bum’s resentful half-brother supplies the show’s sharpest ache. The cast is led by Lee Dong-wook, Jo Bo-ah, Kim Bum, Kim Yong-ji, Hwang Hee.
