tvN’s “Tale of the Nine-Tailed 1938” has dropped a preview of the upcoming episode!
“Tale of the Nine-Tailed 1938” is a sequel to the hit 2020 drama “Tale of the Nine-Tailed,” which told the story of the male gumiho (mythical nine-tailed fox) Yi Yeon (Lee Dong Wook) in the present day. However, in the new sequel, he unexpectedly finds himself back in 1938, and he embarks on an eventful adventure in his quest to return to the present.
In the previous episode of “Tale of the Nine-Tailed 1938,” Yi Yeon ultimately decided to intervene in the affairs of this era. Although Yi Yeon had tried his best not to meddle as he’s just a guest in this time period, Yi Yeon decided he could no longer be a mere bystander after he witnessed the indigenous gods being persecuted.
While Yi Yeon starts to pursue the truth with Yi Rang (Kim Bum), Ryu Hong Joo (Kim So Yeon), Cheon Moo Young (Ryu Kyung Soo), and the Shinigami mercenaries each set out to steal the guardian stone and the golden ruler that are in Yi Yeon’s hands. With less than a week left before Yi Yeon returns to the present day, a new chapter begins as Yi Yeon determines to take matters into his own hands.
The newly released stills show the intriguing meeting between Yi Yeon, Ryu Hong Joo, and Cheon Moo Young. After learning from the god whom she met at Myoyeongak that the treasures are in Yi Yeon’s possession, Ryu Hong Joo’s eyes sparkled with joy. She then goes on to search for the guardian stone and the golden ruler all over the room while Yi Yeon is away but to no avail. As if he knows this all along, Yi Yeon flaunts a slight smirk when he shows Ryu Hong Joo that the guardian stone is still with him.
The other stills depict Yi Yeon going out to look for Cheon Moo Young. Although the wounds on their faces hint at their upcoming physical fight in the next episode, a glimpse of a subtle change in the two friends’ relationship can also be detected through stills that capture them drinking side by side with an exhausted look on their faces. It raises questions about what the two discuss and if they can finally confide in each other about what’s been on their minds all this time.
The production team teased that Yi Yeon will plan a special strategy to get his two friends back and remarked, “Yi Yeon announces that he will go to Bando Hotel with his treasure. Please look forward to seeing how his friends will react upon hearing this and whether the three mountain gods will join forces.”
The next episode of “Tale of the Nine-Tailed 1938” will air on June 3 at 9:20 p.m. KST.
