Netflix’s No Tail to Tell (오늘부터 인간입니다만), premiering January 16, 2026, on SBS, revives gumiho lore with Kim Hye-yoon as Eun-ho, a cynical nine-tailed fox granting wishes to the wealthy while shunning humanity. The crash involving soccer star Kang Si-yeol (Lomon) transforms her into a human being, which leads to crazy romance and ethical concerns. Unlike benevolent gumihos seeking love, Eun-ho’s jaded morality and Heaven’s warnings twist folklore into modern fantasy. The trailer amassed 10M views, fueling discourse on Korean folklore in K-dramas like My Roommate is a Gumiho. The success of Kim gives more buzz to this humorous approach to the curse of immortality.
