‘Tale of the Nine Tailed’

You remember Lee Dong Wook, the South Korean actor, who starred
in the 2016 international hit ‘Goblin’, in which he played a reaper, and more recently,
in the 2019 series ‘Strangers from Hell’, in the of role Seo Moon Jo, who I was
never able to pin down as just plain evil to the bone, or the devil himself. Now
Lee Dong Wook is
back in another supernatural story, but this time he stars in ‘Tale of the Nine
Tailed’. 

In Japanese folklore there is a fox that has nine tails and
is a destructive trickster. Fans young and old of the animated series know that
Naruto had a rampaging nine fox implanted in him at birth the save the Hidden Leaf
Village and that Naruto and the beast had to come to terms with each other in
order to survive. And there is also the 2010 series ‘My Girlfriend is a(Gumshoe) Nine Tailed Fox’ which proves that having nine tails does not
necessarily mean you are an evil creature.

So what does this revelation of Lee Dong Wook playing the
nine beasts entail?

Well, according to Lee Cox at MyDramaList,
the story features a mythical nine-tailed fox, or gumiho, Lee Yeo who has just
settled in the city. Able to transform into human form, he goes about cleansing
human spirits, all the while creating havoc. Are his needless acts of havoc enacted on
purpose? Or, do they occur as an inescapable part of his nature? Either way enters
Nam Ji Ah, a talented television producer whose current show features urban
myths.

Unknowingly she doggedly steps into the dangerous world most
people view as myths. She sets her sights on Lee
Yeon who appears just too good to be true; irresistibly handsome, intelligent, and
fits the ideal portrait of a guest for her show. But his heartlessness will
render doubt in her that he is really of this world. Moreover, step-brother to
Lee Yeon is the captivating Lee Rang, reputed to be the most dangerous of all
gumihos living among humans. Despite being half-human himself, Lee Rang harbors a
deep-seated contempt for all people. For sport, he will unleash his seductive
prowess upon his human-du-jour, by promising to grant them their wishes, only
to trick them into paying a hefty price for their earthly desires.

Sounds good. 

‘Tale of the Nine Tailed’ is scheduled for
airing in October 2020.

The Marvel of Ji Chang Wook

“I stand corrected!” in a recent article I wrote that South
Korean actor, Ji Chang Wook, was at his best when he played the role of an
action hero. However, after watching him in the role of Choi Dae-Hyun, a convenience store owner in ‘Backstreet
Rookie’, I am charmed by his ability to be so versatile with his
acting skills.

In ‘Five Fingers’ I despised Yoo In-Ha.

In ‘The K2 I’ wanted Kim Je-Ha to rescue me, and

In ‘Backstreet Rookie’ I want to be Choi Dae-Hyun.

All
in all, the very talented Ji Chang Wook acting pleases more fans than he knows.

Speaking
talented actor, I must also mention actress Kim You-Jung, who plays Jung Saet-Byul in Backstreet
Rookie. Since an early age, she has had only one romantic interest
and that Choi Dae-Hyun, and has gone to work as a part-timer in the hope of
winning him for herself.

Kim
You-Jung had impressively starred in such works as ‘Cain and Abel’, ‘Commitment’,
and’ Love in the Moonlight’. She started out as a child star.

You
can watch Ji Chang Wook and Kim You-Jung in ‘Backstreet
Rookie’ (2020) at KissAsian.

 

In
the video below Ji Chang Wook talks about a day in his city of Seoul.

Translation:



I walk along the road



Break and turn the alley and continue through another alley to digging into the road that unfolds in front of my eyes.

The sound of a dog that noticed an unknown step in the daytime, a small intersection where alleys and alleys meet, the high buildings surrounded over there like mountains, a store with neon signs flashing.



Passing through a small record shop, where graceful notes roll, I encounter raindrops pattering, older melodies coming out of old cars, and the wind that passes through my hair.



Nothing, but also everything.



We have two ways to live life: One is to look at the world as if nothing is a miracle, and the other is to look at the world as if everything is a miracle.



So today, I walk in my little city.
