tvN's Saturday and Sunday drama 'The Tale of a Gumiho 1938' (directed by Kang Shin-hyo, scripted by Han Woo-ri, and produced by Studio Dragon and How Pictures) will begin its second half starting with the 7th episode, which will be broadcast on the 27th.
The response to 'The Tale of a Nine Tailed Fox 1938', which has returned with an action that doubles the charm of K-fantasy action dramas and evolved characters in an expanded worldview, is hot. The viewer ratings for the last 6 episodes recorded an average of 8.1% and a maximum of 9.5% based on households, and it is receiving great love by keeping first place in the same time zone including cable and comprehensive channels.

The identity of the 'Hongbaek Mask' that brought Yi Yeon (Lee Dong-wook) into the chaotic era was Cheon Moo-young (Ryu Gyeong-soo), a former mountain god and Yi-yeon's old friend. Chun Moo-young made a risky deal to save his dead brother and get his body back. Unexpected variables also occurred. 'Jangsanbeom', whom he called to Myoyeongak, took Ryu Hong-joo (played by Kim So-yeon) to the world of the wicked. Yiyeon and Chun Moo-yeong, who went to rescue Ryu Hong-joo, made an emergency landing on the set of a drama, adding to the confusion.
Lee Yeon stayed in 1938 for a limited time, 29 days until the lunar eclipse when the door of time opened again. He doesn't have much time left now. Amid growing curiosity about whether Lee Yeon will be able to safely return to the modern world where her precious person is waiting, attention is also focused on the mission that must be solved before he returns. In this regard, we pointed out the points to watch in the second half of 'The Tale of a Nine Tailed Fox 1938', which is facing a new phase.
# A debt owed to the era of 1938! Former mountain god and 'nine-tailed fox' Lee Yeon's hunt begins?
In 1938, Lee Yeon, who faced the era of chaos after losing her country, could not just ignore the people dying at the hands of other countries. However, while traveling in time, he is just a traveler who stays in this era for a short time, and what he does cannot change the future. Knowing this better than anyone else, Lee Yeon told Goo Shin-joo (Hwang Hee), who wanted to start an independence movement, that our mission was to grab the red and white mask and return to modern times with the guardian stone. On the other hand, in 1938, Lee Yeon fell into the sorrow of losing her 'first love' Ah Eum (played by Jo Bo Ah) and became addicted to opium, harassing those around her and failing to play the role of a former mountain god. Gu Shin-joo, who was worried about not being able to do anything while taking care of Yi-yeon, was scouted by Seonwoo Eun-ho (played by Kim Yong-ji), a secret independence activist, and willingly took his hand, saying it was an opportunity to pay off his debt. Earlier, Lee Yeon also promised to make sure that Lee Rang's life would not be dangerous. Expectations are gathering for the bloody hunting he will show whether Lee Yeon will fight against the monsters from other countries that have started to flourish.
# 'Sansins' Lee Yeon X Ryu Hong Joo X Cheon Moo Young, Shall we clear up the misunderstanding and restore the twisted friendship!
The complex and subtle friendship of the trio of mountain gods, Lee Yeon, Ryu Hong-ju, and Chun Moo-young, who are fiercely clashing, continues. Unlike their childhood, when they swore to protect each other no matter what, those who reunited in 1938 sharpened their blades towards each other. Ryu Hong-joo did not just stare at Yi-yeon and Chun Moo-young, who had gone wrong. Ryu Hong-joo, without hesitation, stabs Yi-yeon and Cheon Moo-young in a fierce fight. Even after learning that they came from the future, Ryu Hong-ju watched the two friends in his own way. The appearance of Sanshinz drinking peacefully like before made the relationship even more regrettable. New facts were also revealed. Yiyeon and Chun Moo-young fell out after the mountain god test, and that Yi-yeon killed Cheon Moo-young's older brother. Afterwards, Chun Moo-young, who had turned to stone, was awakened by someone, but he did not know about its existence or have a full body. In the meantime, Cheon Moo-young regretted that he had not predicted that Jang San-beom would kidnap Ryu Hong-ju. That's how Lee Yeon and Chun Moo-yeong joined hands to save Ryu Hong-ju. I wonder if those facing a crisis will be able to protect each other as before, and if those who went to the world of the wicked will come back safely.
# Yiyeon's bucket list = Happiness with her younger sister! Lee Rang ♥ Jang Yeo-hee Where is the romance going?
Lee Yeon, who made an emergency landing in 1938, thought it was fortunate to be able to face her younger brother Lee Rang, whom she longed for. Although Lee Rang is still sharp on Lee Yeon because he did not know the friendship they shared in modern times, they are building another friendship in 1938. Yiyeon just wants to live in a better environment without getting sick. Perhaps because of his wish, Lee Rang has a new relationship with Jang Yeo-hee (played by Woo Hyun-jin), a 'mermaid' who is in a similar situation to her. Jang Yeo-hee knew that Rang's life was in danger and jumped in without hesitation to save him. Looking at the two of them, Yiyeon's first bucket list creation was heartwarming. On the other hand, according to the fate of the fox, who must repay the favor, Lee Rang decides to grant Jang Yeo-hee's wish. Yiyeon's happy look at the two of them going on a date under the guise of repairing their wish brought laughter. Like Lee Yeon's small wish, attention is paid to whether the romance between Lee Rang and Jang Yeo-hee will have a happy ending.
