Lee Dong-wook was taken over by a Japanese monster... Final boss identity 'reversal'
In the 10th episode of tvN's Saturday and Sunday drama 'The Tale of a Nine Tailed Fox', which aired on the 4th, Lee Yeon (Lee Dong-wook), Ryu Hong-ju (Kim So-yeon), and Chun Moo-yeong (Ryu Kyung-soo) were drawn against the Japanese mercenaries. At the Bando Hotel, which became a family affair with 'Yacha', Lee Rang (played by Kim Bum) continued his desperate struggle to protect his precious person, and the identity of the final boss of Japan's 'Shinigami Mercenary Corps' was revealed, heightening the sense of crisis.
On this day, Ushiuchibo (Jeong Jae-won), a Japanese monster, appeared in front of Lee Yeon, Ryu Hong-ju, and Chun Moo-young, who were fighting to take possession of the treasure. The fog created by Ushiuchibo had deadly poison, and Ryu Hong-joo and Cheon Moo-young were in danger when they were exposed to it. Yiyeon accepts Ushiuchibo's words to exchange the treasure for the antidote. It was a trick, of course. The words "To catch a rabbit, you have to go down the rabbit hole" left to Ryu Hong-joo and Cheon Moo-yeong, who were trying to dissuade them, were the signal. Noticing this, Ryu Hong-joo and Chun Moo-young took advantage of Lee Yeon's treasure to attract Ushiuchibo's attention and launched a series of attacks. The three friends succeeded in defeating Ushiuchibo by using the "rabbit driving" hunting method they had together as children.
Next came Yuki-onna (Kim Seung-hwa) who uses ice. Lee Yeon needed an antidote for Ryu Hong-ju and Chun Moo-yeong, whose condition worsened over time. That's how Lee Yeon traded the antidote with Geumcheok. There was a 'laughing' battle over whether the antidote was real, but Ryu Hong-joo and Chun Moo-young accepted the choice after understanding Lee Yeon's strategy. To defeat the common enemy with an intact body. This 3-to-3 battle between the Joseon Sansin and the Japanese mercenaries was a game with a chance of winning.
To buy time for Ryu Hong-joo and Chun Moo-young to recover, Lee Yeon set out alone to find a Japanese monster. Then an old man appeared in front of Lee Yeon. He said that he entered the world in the painting while trying to avoid the yaksha, and asked Yiyeon for help, saying that his ankle was not good. However, Yiyeon, who smelled the unique Japanese monster from him, was not fooled. Yiyeon used the moment to attack the Japanese monster. However, the monster he attacked was Oh Onyudo (played by Jeong Seon-cheol), who could freely change his body. After changing bodies with Lee Yeon and disappearing, Onyudo headed for Ryu Hong-ju and Chun Moo-young in search of the guardian stone.
This was a crisis for the mountain gods of Joseon. Ryu Hong-joo and Chun Moo-young, who did not know that their bodies had changed, had no doubts when they saw Lee Yeon returned. New Do, who took the form of Lee Yeon, took Ryu Hong-ju and Chun Moo-yeong to the den of Japanese monsters. On the other hand, Yiyeon, who became a new body, was confused about where she went wrong. Yiyeon was surprised to learn from the conversations of the other Japanese yokai that the Shinigami mercenaries were five, not four.
On the other hand, the situation at the Bando Hotel, which had been ruined by the yakcha, was also not good. Jang Yeo-hee (played by Woo Hyun-jin) was attacked by a yaksha. Even in a situation where life and death were at stake, he thought of Lee Rang first. At that time, Yoo Jae-yu (played by Han Geon-yu) came forward saying there was a way to decipher it. It conveyed the conversation between Ryu Hong-ju and Chun Moo-yeong, telling them to drink the pistil of an iris in case they are bitten by a yakcha. Soon, Gu Shin-joo (played by Hwang Hee) remembered that the spice saffron, a type of iris, was in the restaurant.
Rang went to the restaurant to find saffron with Goo Shin-ju and Vice-Mok (Jo Dal-hwan). A young man who said he works for the Hypnotist Association, whom they met during the day, came to them to save them as they were avoiding the yaksha that reacts to sound. However, the young man created only confusion among the rampant yakshas and disappeared. In the meantime, Gusinju found Saffron safely, and Rang fought desperately to save Yeohee Jang by defeating the yakshas with her whole body.
Above all, the identity of the commander of the Shinigami Mercenary Corps shocked me. The final boss, Satori (played by Seo Young-joo), who is said to be annihilated everywhere he is, was a young man from the Hypnotism Association.
