No Tail to Tell Review – An Easily Forgettable Romance Fantasy
Korean dramas have always been a great form of escapism for me. From fantasy to romance and comedies. I recently stumbled upon No Tail to Tell starring Park Solomon (All of Us are Dead) and Kim Hye-yoon (Lovely Runner). The concept follows a famous footballer who lif completely changing after meets a nine tailed fox. I’d be lying if I said the storyline didn’t interest me which I needed up watching the whole show.

What Is No Tail to Tell About?
In this Kdrama, a nine-tailed fox Eun Ho has has lived for centuries and has long since lost interest in the human world. She has seen people live, love, grow old, and eventually die. But her mindset shifts when she meets Kang Si Yeol. He is a young soccer player whose dream of making it big . But achieving that dream comes at a devastating cost that could change everything he thought he knew about his life. With secrets waiting to be uncovered and fate seemingly working against them, Eun Ho must decide whether she can risk opening her heart again – while Si Yeol must figure out just how much he is willing to sacrifice for the life and love he never expected to find.
What I liked about it:
The first few episodes seemed really intriguing. I was really invested in the two separate storylines about Eun Ho living as a nine-tailed fox and Kang Si Yeol as an amateur football player. When they finally meet, I enjoyed how they were fated to be together following a random occurrence in Si Yeol’s life.
There is strong chemistry between Eun Ho and Si Yeol. They love story progressively get better as the episodes go on, as it’s not entirely believable at the start. Eun Ho obviously has her walls up a bit, but Si Yeol manages to get her to warm up to him, and she is really just a lover girl at heart.
What I didn’t like about it:
The storyline was very boring throughout. The whole idea of changing someone’s fate to save another is an overused plot device. I felt like the secondary characters were also forgettable, as there wasn’t anything interesting about them. Even the villain was weak.
I expected more from the series, as both the fantasy and romance elements were disappointing.
Overall Thoughts:
I love both Kim Hye-yoon and Park Solomon as actors individually. I enjoyed Kim Hye-yoon in Lovely Runner and Park Solomon in All of Us Are Dead. However, their acting fell very flat in this series. I found the story very boring to begin with, and I was waiting for the episodes to pick up with more action and romance, but that wasn’t the case. It has elements of a historical drama as well as a more futuristic setting, but even the graphics couldn’t save it. No Tail to Tell isn’t one of the best Kdrama dramas I’ve watched this year.
