Kim Hye Yoon's Gumiho Meets Soccer Star Lomon in New Fantasy K-Drama 'No Tail to Tell'

What happens when a nine-tailed fox who wants nothing to do with humanity gets tangled up with a human star? SBS is dropping a new fantasy romance, 'No Tail to Tell', and its latest teaser hints at a chaotic and charming relationship between its leads, Kim Hye Yoon and Lomon.

A Gen Z Fox and a World-Class Athlete

According to the announcement, Kim Hye Yoon stars as Eun Ho, a quirky Gen Zgumiho (a magical nine-tailed fox) who is determined not to become human. Her world collides with that of Kang Si Yeol, played by Lomon, an overly confident, world-class soccer player. The teaser suggests their entanglement leads to an unexpected transformation for Eun Ho, setting up the central conflict of the series.

A Fresh Spin on a Classic Trope

The drama's premise offers a modern twist on the traditional gumiho folklore, which has been a staple in K-dramas for years. Unlike her predecessors who often desperately yearned for humanity, Eun Ho embraces her supernatural identity. This character choice is expected to bring a fresh dynamic to the fantasy romance genre, moving away from the typical damsel-in-distress narrative.
