The premise

After meeting a mysterious yet very beautiful girl, a wannabe action star discovers that she's, in fact, a gumiho – a legendary fox with nine tails.

Horror Vault's take

A broke, dream-chasing young man stumbles into a supernatural entanglement when the enchanting woman he meets turns out to be a gumiho — a nine-tailed fox spirit straight out of Korean legend. Equal parts romantic comedy and mythological fantasy, the series weaves genuine warmth with an undercurrent of otherworldly danger. Living together under the same roof, the unlikely pair must navigate the impossible gap between a mortal life and an immortal nature, with stakes that quietly deepen as their bond grows.
