Tale Of The Nine Tailed 1938 "𝑭𝒂𝒏𝒕𝒂𝒔𝒚 𝑨𝒏𝒅 𝑪𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒅𝒚" Series Review

Just before I took my device to start writing this, I had a small rest having it in mind that I'll make a review of the series I had just concluded seeing last week. I couldn't rest at all, I know I didn't because my head kept replaying a lot of the scenes from the film. I guess it was preparing my mind to write this review so yeah, here I am lol.

I concluded seeing Tale of the Nine Tailed 1938 earlier last week and the scenes are still very fresh in my head, that makes it a good watch for me... Well, you'll find more reasons as you read on.

I'm a huge fan of Korean series but I'm beginning to like the fantasy and action kinds more as they seem to be more suspenseful and thrilling to see like this series I just concluded. Tale Of The Nine Tailed 1938 is a series of fantasy and comedy as I've said in my title and that isn't the only focus but my favourite part. There was also horror scenes but I guess they aren't so horror as I don't feel scared as I do in some horror movies lol.

The series has a first season which is titled just Tale of The Nine Tailed and it ended leaving the viewers to ask if there could be another season coming up later and there really was. I was more than excited when I learnt of a new season and now, I feel so fulfilled seeing the end of this season.

What is the series about? I'll share a bit of it as I introduced characters that stood out in their roles to make the series memorable for the viewers.

The main guy, Lee Yeon starred by (Lee Dong-wook) who is the nine tailed Fox, a former mountain god and a funny character. In the last season, he starred as the main character who gave up his duty as a mountain god to find his human girl who he fell in love with. That season was a whole lot to see how he got together with his human girl but this series didn't focus on that which I think made this season more interesting than the last.

On this series, he is sent back in time (1938) to retrieve a stolen Gem and in the process to retrieve that, he is met with his supposed dead brother, two childhood friends and a crumbling world (the Japanese colonization on korean a era). The scenes that follows as he uses his Gumiho powers in combination with his friends, is remarkable.

A fellow mountain god and close friend to the main guy, Ryu Hong Joo starred by (Kim So-yeon) is a very interesting character in this series. She reminded me so much of her role in the series Penthouse, shows how good she really is in acting. In this series, she's a good informant and fighter with her large sword lol. Her childish acts towards Lee Yeon to make him love her gave me really funny scenes to see lol.

She is in a love triangle as the other friend of theirs is in love with her but she loves Lee Yeon who is in love with another. But the series didn't give focus on their story. I would have love to talk about the other friend who chose the villain role but I'll skip that, you'll see more of him if you see the series.

Our amazing supporting character and his love-hate feeling for his brother, he's called Lee Rang starred by (Kim Bum). This character is my favourite as he gave all the kind of feelings I like in a movie... The action, the suspense, the romance, the thrills and most of all, the Comedy 😅 he is a full package with his role in the series.

I've seen him in a lot of other series as a supporting character and I must say, he's good at it. Still looking forward to when he plays a lead role in a series.

More thoughts on the series

I like that the series took us back to the year 1938 in Korean and made sure to show us how it must have looked like in that time... From their dressing style, the way they talk, their buildings, cars and even how they think with the addition of Japanese colonization... I'll say it was a great combination for a good watch.

I also like the villain role that isn't so like a villain because I actually loved the character no matter how wicked he tried to be in his role, it only made the series more interesting. The different missions in the series are also very iconic and memorable.

Meeting a baby god, an illusion god, one with poison powers, another who controls fire and another who uses ice... All that were amazing and gave the series a lot to see for the viewers.
