Ajooma Reviews: Tale of the Nine Tailed Episodes 13-14

Tale of the Nine Tailed

Studio Dragon, 2020

Written by Han Woo Ri

Directed by Kang Shin Hyo

I begin this review feeling afraid for the drama.

I am afraid that TOTNT will end up like TKEM (The King Eternal Monarch). The cast is strong but many of them were left unused and their stories left open with no closure or agreement to the main plot.

I am afraid that TOTNT will service the fans. I am fine with a Goblinesque ending. Bittersweet. Reasonable. Unforgettable.

I am afraid to be disappointed. Yeon has reconciled with Rang. He is bound to take the ultimate sacrifice while Rang remains as the wild card. Ji Ah is turning out to be a better villain than Imoogi. But the main villain is looking like a misplaced K-Pop idol in this fantastic tale of love and vengeance. Come on, guys. Give us a fight!

I am still not over that well directed love scene between Wookie and Bo Ah but I want to see the intensity of Imoogi against Yeon. It is not working. 

So... let us see how Writer Nim and Director Nim wrap up the story and tie the loose ends of TONT.

In case you missed it, here are the links to my reviews and recaps of previous episodes.

Episodes 1 -2  - The LDW and Jo Bo Ah ship has sailed!

Episodes 3-6 - The strong folkloric elements are smoothly integrated in the drama.

Episodes 7-10 - That kiss in the rain... It is a masterpiece!

Episode 11 - 12 - Lee Yeon's is the best brother but he is not the perfect boyfriend to bring home and meet the parents. And that is perfectly alright.
