Lee Dong-wook and Jo Bo-ah are waiting, can they go back?
'The Tale of a Gumiho 1938' has only two episodes left until the end. The excellent performance of the actors, who added strength to the original worldview by thoroughly completing the 'one and only' character that does not exist anywhere in the world, led to a hot response. As a result, the ratings for the last 10 episodes (based on Nielsen Korea's paid platform) rose to an average of 8.2% and a maximum of 9.3% based on households in the metropolitan area, maintaining first place in the same time slot including cable and comprehensive channels.
Lee Dong-wook, who returned as the enchanting 'nine-tailed fox' Lee Yeon, was absolutely overwhelming. The charm, which was further deepened by the excellent level control, aroused the excitement of viewers. Lee Dong-wook, who showed action that became as dynamic as the changed background of the times, firmly held the center of 'The Tale of a Gumiho 1938'. Lee Dong-wook, who said that there were more enjoyable times than difficult moments, said, “It was an honor to be able to play ‘Lee Yeon’ once again. I will cherish the love you sent to 'The Tale of a Nine Tailed Fox 1938'," conveying his special affection for the work and the character. With only a few days left to return to the modern age, attention is focused on whether Yiyeon, who started a bloody hunt to scare off the Japanese monsters, can safely return to the house where Nam Ji-ah (played by Jo Bo-ah) is waiting.
The presence of Kim So-yeon, who maximized her sweet and bloody charm as Ryu Hong-joo, the owner of Myoyeon-gak and a former western mountain god with tremendous strength, was also unique. Kim So-yeon, who completed another life character, said, “I was so honored to play Ryu Hong-ju, and I sincerely thank director Kang Shin-hyo, director Jo Nam-hyung, and writer Han Woo-ri for directing and drawing Ryu Hong-ju in an attractive and cool way. Thanks to all the staff and actors of 'The Tale of a Gumiho 1938', it was a more enjoyable setting than ever,” he said. Kim So-yeon, who expressed her gratitude to the viewers who sent her support, said, "It was hard to hold back tears when acting in the second half of the 12th episode. I hope you will wait with anticipation for what scene made you cry so much. Please watch a lot until the end,” he added, adding a point to watch.
Kim Beom made viewers smile with his unchanging brotherhood with Lee Dong-wook. The romance that came to Lee Rang, who was clumsy and rough in expressing emotions, was another point to watch in 'The Tale of a Gumiho 1938'. The change of Lee Rang, who met Jang Yeo-hee (played by Woo Hyun-jin) and realized love, touched the hearts of viewers. Kim Beom said, “Thanks to the great love you sent me, I was able to meet good people again. I was able to spend time with them as the person I love so much. I thanked the viewers again and again, and I was truly happy.” He also said, “In ‘The Tale of a Nine Tailed Fox 1938’, which ran frantically, the characters including the nine tailed foxes and mountain gods are looking at the same meaning and the same place for the first time. It would be fun if you look at how this story will end, especially how Lee Rang will say goodbye.”
Along with Lee Dong-wook and Kim So-yeon, Ryu Kyung-soo, who showed the extraordinary synergy of 'Sanshinz', also shone. Ryu Kyung-soo instilled a sense of tension by drawing the two-sided aspects of Chun Moo-young, a former mountain god from the north and the 'Tiger of Mt. Baekdu' in detail. Ryu Kyung-soo said, “For about 8 months, I think I made good memories as if I was traveling around Korea with good people. I sincerely thank those who loved Chun Moo-young. I learned a lot through 'The Tale of a Gumiho 1938' and was very happy. I'm going to have a good time." Cheon Moo-young is aiming for the 'treasure' stone guardian stone that Lee Yeon has to save his dead brother. It was regrettable that he had no choice but to become a red and white mask after being locked up as a stone for a long time. Cheon Moo-young, who predicted an inevitable fight with Yi-yeon, worked together to defeat the 'common enemy' Japanese mercenaries. Whether he will remain on Lee Yeon's side until the end, attention is focused on his move.
The 11th episode of 'The Tale of a Gumiho 1938' will be broadcast at 9:20 pm on the 10th.
