Netflix has kicked off 2026 with a bang, unveiling the enchanting official trailer for No Tail to Tell, where Kim Hye-yoon transforms into a witty, wish-granting nine-tailed fox whose carefully guarded supernatural life unravels after a chaotic encounter with Lomon's self-assured soccer phenom.
The trailer opens with glimpses of Kim Hye-yoon's character, Eun-ho, a centuries-old nine-tailed fox known as a gumiho, who has dedicated her existence to granting wishes while steadfastly avoiding the path to becoming fully human. Rooted in the traditions of Myohyangsan Mountain, Eun-ho embodies a balanced, almost routine life until fate intervenes.
Enter Lomon's Kang Si-yeol, a star soccer player for Thames FC, whose narcissistic tendencies mask a warm-hearted nature. The footage hints at a pivotal incident where a misplaced wish spirals into chaos, forcing Eun-ho to confront her supernatural identity in unexpected ways. Scenes flash by showing misunderstandings and playful banter between the leads, underscoring the push-and-pull dynamic that drives their relationship. Without delving into specifics, the trailer effectively teases the magical mishaps and emotional undercurrents that will unfold, all set against a backdrop of quick-witted dialogue and supernatural elements.
Drawing from classic Korean myths, No Tail to Tell reimagines the gumiho legend—where these fox spirits cultivate goodness through good deeds, growing tails and eventually aspiring to humanity. However, Eun-ho's cynicism adds a fresh, contemporary twist, making her reluctant to embrace change. The series explores themes of self-discovery and romance through her accidental transformation into an ordinary human following her encounter with Si-yeol. As a dominant central striker, Si-yeol's life is upended when a long-forgotten business card from Eun-ho reappears after nine years, igniting a chain of events that blends the fantastical with the relatable. This light fantasy romantic comedy emphasizes emotional growth amid the chaos, highlighting how supernatural rules clash with human emotions in a story that's both enchanting and grounded.
Kim Hye-yoon, fresh off her breakout in Lovely Runner, infuses Eun-ho with quirky Gen Z energy, portraying a gumiho who prefers eternal fun over mortality. Lomon, rising from All of Us Are Dead, captures Si-yeol's cocky exterior hiding vulnerability, promising sizzling chemistry as their worlds collide.
Alongside the trailer, a captivating new main poster has been released, showing Kim Hye-yoon's Eun-ho nestled intimately in Lomon's Kang Si-yeol's embrace, her expression a mix of tenderness and surprise. A single white tail subtly wraps around them, hinting at her gumiho secret without overt revelation. This visual captures the fateful shift in Eun-ho's 900-year existence, teasing the chaotic yet heartwarming romance ahead.
A special New Year Live Talk with the cast is scheduled for January 12 at 8:00 p.m. KST, streaming on Netflix Korea’s TikTok and the Netflix K-Content YouTube channel.
No Tail to Tell, a 12-episode series, premieres exclusively on Netflix on January 16, 2026, with new episodes releasing weekly on Fridays and Saturdays.
