Tale Of The Nine-Tailed 1938 unveils character posters for Lee Dong Wook, Kim So Yeon, Kim Bum and Ryu Kyung Soo

The makers of Tale Of The Nine-Tailed 1938 have unveiled new, fascinating character posters for its star-studded cast, Lee Dong Wook, Kim So Yeon, Kim Bum and Ryu Kyung Soo. They are all set to return for the sequel of 2020 hit fantasy drama, Tale of the Nine-Tailed.

Starring Lee Dong Wook, Jo Bo Ah, and Kim Bum, 2020 fantasy drama Tale of the Nine-Tailed tells the story of a mythical nine-tailed fox Yi Yeon (Lee Dong Wook) in a modern era. The new mysterious poster features Yi Yeon stranded in 1938 Japan. Director Kang Shin Hyo and scriptwriter Han Woo Ri from Season 1 will be reuniting for the new project.

As the Korean tabloid Soompi notes, though Yi Yeon ended up with his love interest Nam Ji Ah (Jo Bo Ah) in Season 1, he will get swept up in an unexpected incident and get summoned to the year of 1938. The new season will depict Yi Yeon’s desperate struggle to return to present day where all the people precious to him are.

The new posters feature the four main characters, each with an object that is meaningful to them. The first poster features Yi Yeon with a rifle in his hands and a text that reads, “You’re baffled? I understand. Because that’s exactly how I feel right now.”

The second poster sees the elegant Mountain Goddess of the West Ryu Hong Joo (Kim So Yeon), who has been longing for Yi Yeon for hundreds of years, as she hands a ring to someone saying, “Honey, you came.”

In another poster, Yi Rang (Kim Bum) greets his brother Yi Yeon saying, “Brother, you aren’t dead yet?” In 1938, Yi Rang still hasn't resolved his misunderstanding with his elder brother, Yi Yeon, causing a sense of familiarity in his eyes, marked by hatred and rebellion.

In the last poster, Yi Yeon’s longtime friend and former Mountain God of the North Cheon Moo Young (Ryu Kyung Soo) is up for a war against Yi Yeon as he says, “I will take my revenge until I take away everything that he cherishes.”

Tale of the Nine-Tailed 1938 will premiere on May 6 at 9:20 p.m. KST.
