tvN and Netflix Reveal Tale of the Nine-Tailed — Official Trailer 2: A Darker, Bolder Myth Awakens

Seoul, South Korea — tvN has officially released Official Trailer 2 for Tale of the Nine-Tailed, sending fans into a frenzy as new footage reveals deeper mythology, darker enemies, and an intensified love story that stretches across lifetimes. The trailer showcases stunning visuals, supernatural battles, and the powerful chemistry that made the series a global hit.

A Storm of Fate and Mythology

Trailer 2 opens with a haunting shot of the legendary gumiho, Lee Yeon, standing alone under a crimson sky as ancient spirits whisper his name. His voice sets the tone:

“The past never dies. It only waits.”

From there, the trailer plunges into quick flashes of mythical realms, collapsing gates, and an ominous prophecy suggesting that the balance between the human world and the spirit realm is breaking.

The tension rises as Yeon is forced to face an enemy he thought he had buried centuries ago — a shadow fox whose rage threatens to consume both realms.

Lee Dong-wook and Jo Bo-ah Return in Electrifying Scenes

The trailer highlights emotional moments between:

• Lee Dong-wook as Lee Yeon, the charismatic nine-tailed fox torn between love and destiny

• Jo Bo-ah as Nam Ji-ah, whose connection to Yeon deepens as ancient memories awaken

Their reunion is filled with longing, danger, and the unmistakable tension of lovers cursed to cross paths again and again.

One of the trailer’s most replayed scenes shows Yeon shielding Ji-ah as a monstrous spirit lunges from the shadows — a moment that exploded across social media within minutes of release.

Official Trailer 2 Introduces New Threats and New Allies

The trailer offers the first real glimpse of:

• a resurrected ancient fox deity

• a rogue spirit hunter with unclear motives

• a mysterious child who seems to recognize Yeon

• new mythical creatures drawn from Korean folklore

These additions suggest a storyline far more expansive and intricate than the first season, with higher risks and multi-layered conflicts.

Cinematic Action, Elevated Visual Effects

This trailer emphasizes the production’s upgraded scale:

• Fire-lit battles between spirit warriors

• Underwater confrontation scenes

• Shape-shifting fox transformations rendered with polished CGI

• Majestic shots of the Spirit Realm’s towering gates

Producers describe the new season as “the most visually ambitious gumiho series ever created.”

A Love Story Written in Blood, Destiny, and Time

Amid the action and supernatural danger, Trailer 2 returns repeatedly to the emotional core: Yeon and Ji-ah’s eternal love.

“Even if I lose everything, I will find you,” Yeon declares in the final sequence.

Their relationship, marked by reincarnation, sacrifice, and unresolved fate, appears to take a darker and more mature direction in this installment.

Global Fans React with Explosive Excitement

Following the trailer’s release, hashtags related to Tale of the Nine-Tailed skyrocketed across Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok, with fans analyzing symbolism, character arcs, and hidden clues frame by frame. The series continues to show strong global appeal, particularly across Southeast Asia, the U.S., Europe, and Latin America.

Industry analysts predict the upcoming release will be one of the most streamed fantasy K-dramas of the year.
