No Tail to Tell

Eun-ho is a gumiho who has spent years treating life like a game, avoiding acts of kindness and any romantic entanglement so she won't risk turning human. She keeps to herself, relying on wit and small cons to stay free. That careful balance breaks when she crosses paths with Kang Si-yeol, a talented but self-absorbed soccer star whose ego and visibility complicate her plans. Their collisions spark a string of awkward alliances, misunderstandings, and comic set pieces as Eun-ho tests new boundaries and Si-yeol's world is nudged out of its usual orbit. The show keeps secrets about each character, focusing on evolving relationships rather than revealing big twists up front.

Directed by Kim Jeong-kwon and created by Kim Jung Kwon, Park Chanyoung, and Jo Ahyoung, No Tail to Tell premiered in 2026. It weaves traditional Korean gumiho legend into a contemporary comedy format, with modern settings and pop culture touches that aim to appeal to younger viewers.

As of release there haven't been major award wins or industry honors attached to the series, and no prominent festival or award nominations have been reported. That may change as the show finds an audience and critics weigh in over time.

The series reimagines gumiho lore by putting a supernatural lead into the bright, public world of professional sports and social media. Its tone mixes slapstick and romantic awkwardness, and several scenes lean into visual humor and genre-aware jokes that are likely to be clipped and shared by fans. The costume and effects choices highlight the mythic elements while keeping them playful rather than solemn.

Early commentary centers on the chemistry between Kim Hye-yoon's Eun-ho and Lomon's Kang Si-yeol, and on how the show balances humor with questions about identity and desire. Recurring themes include what it means to belong, how people perform themselves in public, and the tradeoffs of giving up solitude for connection. The supporting cast adds texture, keeping the series lighthearted while allowing quieter emotional beats to land.
