Tale of the nine tailed 1938 구미호뎐1938 // Episode 1

The baby in question:

Rang messing with Yeon in the newest episode was pure gold. PEAK SIBLINGS ENERGY.

Rang exceeding younger sibling energy will always put a smile on my face.

It seems that in this season the writers understood how siblings act??? Cause yes, annoying each other is the way to show your affection with your siblings alright?

I need more of this banter and them being annoying little shits. Especially Rang, my dude is the youngest, has a whole bunch of trauma and a lot of anger. My dude has all the rights to be petty and annoy Yeon to death and back.

Can't wait for the fourth episode 😁

My mum and my sister about a third season of Nine Tailed: “As long as the three idiots are still there, we don’t care about anyone else.”

[quietplace26]

Shin-jo: "What are you doing?"

Yeon: "Rang's mad at me so I'm hiding all his snacks so he'll have to talk to me."

Also...

Yu-ri: "What are you doing?"

Rang: "I'm mad at Yeon so I'm hiding all his mint choco icecream as revenge."

Finally having post-TOTNT 1938 thoughts and. I've grown so fond of Jaeyoo and Yeohee??? I am so glad the showrunners added them into the story. Yeo-hee was awesome she really was a star in every scene she's in and Jae-yoo was just the cutest I love him and his puppydog eyes. And his brotherhood with mi yeon and shin joo!Shinjoo and Sunwoo Eunho made me emotional like the underlying plot was absolutely heartwrenching. Of course, Moo yeong and Hong joo were super cool and I hope we'll get to see them again. AND the main characters Rang and Yeon!!! Every single scene with them kept my eyes glued to the screen like their brotherhood was everythinggg. The villains were also really good. This season was great I love you Tale of the Nine-tailed 1938

Just finished TOTNT S1 and the feels please😭😭😭😭😭😭. After finishing the series, I've just come to the conclusion that all of them deserve better, seriously, all of them had suffered enough of this cursed fate😩😩😩🥲. I hope there's a season 3 to explain how Lee Yeon still has his powers? Did Lee Rang really reincarnate to that boy in the ending part? And how will the events of 1938 change the future? Please you directors better give us something that's satisfying 😤😤😤

Me now:

Parents (at least one) are THE WORST but Both Are Still Alive: Jang Shin-yu (Destined With You) Han Yi-joo (Perfect Marriage Revenge) Ko Mun-young** (It's Okay to Not be Okay) Mok Sol-hee (My Lovely Liar) Gu Won (King the Land) Crown Prince Lee Hwi/Dam-yi/Yeon-seon (The King's Affection) Do Bong-soon (Strong Woman Bong-Soon) Woo Young-woo (Extraordinary Attorney Woo)*** Jung Ji-woon (The King's Affection) Kang Bo-geol/Lee Ki-ho (Castaway Diva) Yeo Jeong-woo (Doctor Slump) Hong Hae-in (Queen of Tears) On Eun-yoo (Twinkling Watermelon) Oh Yeon-joo (W: Two Worlds) Yoon Ji-ho (Because This Is My First Life) Nam Se-hee (Because This Is My First Life) Bok Gwi-ju (The Atypical Family) Moon Cha-min (Dreaming of a Freaking Fairytale)

Immortal Being that Still Somehow has Parent Issues: Myul Mang/Doom (Doom at your Service) Lee Yeon & Lee Rang (Tale of the Nine Tailed) Jeong Gu-won (My Demon)

Added trauma flavour: Parent was murdered in front of them (**Still counts if they survived the murder Parent tried to murder them Dying from seemingly incurable disease which makes their parents/guardian sad (If your parents are alive, you must pay for it by dying yourself) Adoptive parent/stepparent is THE WORST

Somehow has normal, alive parents: Lee Jun-ho (Extraordinary Attorney Woo, Has no backstory at all. We only meet his older sister and hear nothing about his childhood.) Shin Ha-ri (Business Proposal, her family is refreshingly normal, right down to her brother being sent out to find her when she's drunk) Oh Han-byeol (Sh**ting Stars, Again, we know almost nothing about her family, only that she has twin sisters. But she doesn't appear to have childhood trauma.) Park Yeon-woo (The Story of Park's Marriage Contract, her mom being annoyed at her for something that is a crime doesn't count as bad parenting) Lee Young-joon/Sung-hyun (What's Wrong with Secretary Kim, his trauma comes from a kidnapper, his parents faced a pretty impossible situation and did their best. They clearly love their kids) Baek Hyun-woo (Queen of Tears, nothing wrong with them out of the ordinary and they are in the drama a significant amount.) Ha Eun-gyeol (Twinkling Watermelon, very loving parents and the deafness and their reliance on him is not anyone's fault)

*Counting her as an orphan even though she gets her parents back after 20 years, she spent her childhood orphaned. ***This character is tricky because I understand why her mother wanted nothing to do with her, but her trying to manipulate the dad and also saying he didn't raise her properly made me so angry. ****This character is tricky because he was explicitly raised as an orphan by his grandma, his father didn't sign his birth certificate (Korean equivalent of this), and he's registered as the child of his grandmother, not his actual mom. His grandma is dead by the beginning of the series and he is living alone without family, so I think he counts as an orphan.

Uncatagorized due to lack of clarity on parents: Soundtrack #1, Hospital Playlist, Happiness

But how confused Rang must have been by their sudden change of attitude. There was a time none of them even wanted to see him and now they're all smiles and heart eyes, running to him for a hug when they see him, shaking and crying like they really really missed him and are really happy to see him, wanna spend their time with him, talk to him, hang out with him and just be with him and Rang just can't get his head around it like WHAT HAS REALLY CHANGED?

💔😢

[academyofbrokenhearts]

Yeon and Ji-ah were so important to me in the previous season that I genuinely did not expect to like this season as much as I do, but it has been absolutely solid and entertaining until now. Also I ship the half fox and the half mermaid like no tomorrow.

She breaks a glass with her voice out of jealousy:

Those two idiots ahahahaha

She thought he’d be mad but his reaction is ahahahahah I am sorry he’s like a shounen manga protag on steroids!

I am swooning….also he looks like a menswear ad, so good!

Lee Rang: What do you even like about my jerk brother?

Ryu Hong Joo: Well-

Lee Rang: Why are you staring at me?

Lee Yeon: Can't i look at you ?

Lee Rang: NO.

Lee Yeon: Why? Nervous?

Lee Rang: *frowns confused* Why would I get nervous?

Lee Yeon: I mean given that I am such a STRONG, HANDSOME & THOUGHTFUL person-

Lee Rang: *eyes widen realising* ... Y-You.. did you hear-

Lee Yeon: Hear what ? That my baby brother thinks so highly of m-

Lee Rang: NO I DON'T!!! I WAS JUST ASKING HER-

Lee Yeon: *teasing* Oh com'on don't be shy though i want to hear more-

Lee Rang: YOU-!!!

Lee Yeon: Since i heard you I'll return the favour by telling you what i think of my baby brother~

Lee Rang: DON'T-

Lee Yeon: *starts listing down* I also think my baby brother is quite handsome, cute, prickly on the outside but very soft on the inside, tender-hearted, sensitive, can be very naughty at times but also very sweet-

Lee Rang: *turns red in embarrassment & starts threatening with his axe* STOP!!! SHUT UP!!! SHUT UP!!!!

Lee Yeon: *laughs* Well Its only fair since i heard you so i should also let my cute brother know what i-

Lee Rang: *screams swinging the axe*

Lee Yeon: *happily dodging & still listing down*

Koo Shin Joo: *watching everything go down with a sigh shaking his head*

[quietplace26]

Rang: "You lying, cheating, piece of shit!"

Yeon: "Oh yeah? You're the fool who thinks you can get away with everything you do! WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD!"

Rang: "I'm leaving you, and I'M TAKING BOTH SOO-OH AND ALL YOUR CHOCO-MINT ICECREAM WITH ME!"

Shin-jo, quickly picking up a monopoly board: "Right! That's enough monopoly for now!"
