Major Story Developments in Episode 4
The upcoming episode marks a significant shift in the drama’s plot. The production team has stated that “the flow of the drama will change its course” beginning with Episode 4. The focus will be on the deepening connections between Eun-ho, Kang Si-yeol, and Hyun Woo-seok, whose fates are now completely tied together.
The biggest change previewed is in the dynamic between the leads. Eun-ho, the cynical nine-tailed fox, and Kang Si-yeol, the soccer player whose life was upended, have shared a mostly hostile relationship. New promotional photos hint at a major thaw. The images show the two looking serious while reading a newspaper together, sharing a meal where Si-yeol tries to feed Eun-ho, and a moment where he watches her sleep from close by.
The “No Tail to Tell” production team teased, “Starting from Episode 4, the flow of the drama will change its course. Please keep an eye on the story as Eun-ho, Kang Si-yeol, and Hyun Woo-seok—who hold one another’s fates in their hands—become even more deeply entangled with each other.”
This romantic development follows the major cliffhanger of Episode 3. Kang Si-yeol made a wish to help his friend Hyun Woo-seok, but the price was unexpected: their fates were swapped. Si-yeol, once a famous athlete, woke up in his friend’s struggling life. He begged Eun-ho to reverse it, but she explained the only way back is for Woo-seok to make another wish.
Cast and Characters in the Fantasy Drama
The series is led by a talented cast. Kim Hye-yoon plays Eun-ho, the last of the nine-tailed foxes. She is a centuries-old being who enjoys the pleasures of the human world but has given up her goal of becoming human. Lomon stars as Kang Si-yeol, a world-class football striker known for his talent and strict discipline. Their chaotic encounter is what sets the entire story in motion.
The supporting cast includes Lee Si-woo as the mysterious Geum-ho, and Jang Dong-joo as Hyun Woo-seok, the friend whose fate becomes tangled with Si-yeol’s. Other key characters are Choi Seung-yoon as the arrogant heir Lee Yoon, and Kim Tae-woo as Jang Do-cheol, a local troublemaker who is secretly a shaman hunting for a gumiho.
The drama is directed by Kim Jung-kwon, known for series like “Maestra: Strings of Truth” and “Love to Hate You”.
How the Show is Performing with Audiences
“No Tail to Tell” is showing an interesting pattern in its early reception. Its television ratings on SBS in Korea have been modest, starting at 3.7% for the premiere and dipping to 2.7% for the second episode. However, the show is performing strongly on streaming. It quickly rose to the No. 2 spot on Netflix’s “Top 10 Series in South Korea Today” chart, indicating strong online viewership.
This contrast between broadcast and digital performance is common for many modern K-dramas with global appeal. Fans on social media have expressed excitement for the new episodes and defended the show’s quality, with some noting that popular series like “Lovely Runner” also had modest initial ratings before becoming major hits.
The show’s current performance suggests a dedicated audience is following the series closely on streaming platforms each week.
